“Programmable ammunition of the 23mm caliber fired from the ZU-23-2, primed for air-burst modes in hundreds of rounds, can create a massive wall of shrapnel, enough to hit incoming cruise missiles’ front nose sections and the engine, disabling them mid-air.

“Mainland Russia, like Moscow and Belgorod, and even the Kremlin have come under Ukrainian drone attacks this way. The Russian capital is, however, already protected by the Pantsir and Tor medium and short-range point defense systems for the purpose.”

That shrapnel not intercepting the missiles then continues on its course, possibly killing civilians on the ground.

Britons had a similar problem with Buzz Bombs during WWII; attempting to shoot them down with anti-aircraft artillery - even if successful - was ultimately more destructive to British life and property.

Some how, most likely traitorous Russians, have programed the massive wall to have holes in it which allow something to hit the oil tanks and ammo dumps, causing massive fires to burn for days. Or possibility saboteurs.
