As noted, the Russian Federation first used an intercontinental ballistic missile for an attack, probably the RS-26 "Rubezh".
Its mass is 40-50 tons and it is intended primarily for the delivery of nuclear charges.
According to open sources, the PC-26 "Rubezh" can hit targets at a distance of up to 6,000 kilometers. This is a mobile ground-based complex, and depending on the launch site, the rocket can reach, for example, Kyiv in 8-10 minutes.
The Air Force of the Armed Forces reported that an intercontinental ballistic missile was launched from the Astrakhan region of the Russian Federation, an Kh-47M2 "Kinzhal" aeroballistic missile from a MiG-31K fighter jet was launched from the Tambov region, and seven Kh-101 cruise missiles from Tu-95MS strategic bombers (launch area — Volgograd region).
The peculiarity of the missile is that it consists of four controlled combat units that can be separated. During descent, the missile maneuvers, thus becoming more resistant to modern anti-missile defense systems.
