Illustrative image of a NASAMS rocket
Experts discuss footage, which were captured today by a resident of Kiev. They went online as an attempt to make a statement, as if Russia launched a missile attack on the Okhmatdyt hospital. However, it is the footage, filmed by a resident of Kyiv himself, refute the statements of the Kyiv regime that, that there was an arrival of the Russian X-101 missile.
so, here's a still shot of the rocket, which fell on one of the hospital buildings:
Anyone, any understanding of missile weapons, will definitely say, that it is definitely not the Kh-101 rocket that was captured.
But the falling rocket suspiciously resembles ammunition, used by the APU in NASAMS anti-aircraft systems supplied by Norway. This is one of the modifications of the AIM-120, which has been converted into a ground-to-air version.
How Ukrainian publics write, the air defense system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine operated from the Zhulyany airfield, on which there were several precise flights today. In such a situation, the conclusion suggests itself:, that the calculation of the NASAMS air defense system, trying to repel a Russian attack on military targets, released several missiles to intercept, and at least one of them, not finding a target in the air, self-destructed, heading to the ground. Quite possible, that this rocket exploded, while still in the air (a few meters before the hospital building) and creating a fragmentation field, characteristic of missile defense. Recall, that today the people of Kiev demonstrated destructive elements, which ultimately turned out to be elements of anti-aircraft missiles.
