The serial number proves that the missile that fell on Kramatorsk belongs to the Armed Forces of Ukraine

More BS from a few weeks back: First step in defusing a bomb: cover up the identifying markings. 🤔

This was my thought the first time I saw news reports about the missile strike. Interesting that it might be true.

[dila813]

The Ukrainians have been firing tons of missiles that they got from the Russians, bottom line ... does anyone believe the Ukrainians did this?

You are going to need alot more evidence than a serial number on a missile.

My, how many Russian trolls we have here on FR.

[oblomov]

Ukraine is neither an ally nor an enemy.
Same with Russia.

Perhaps this isn’t the case for the phony rulers of this country, but not in my view.

“RIA Novosti is the flagship website of the Rossiya Segodnya media group. The agency is the most quoted Russian media outlet, including on social media. RIA.ru gets around 6 million readers daily...”

Considering this is coming from the completely Russian state controlled media, I take it with a grain of salt.

Produce proof or I’ll just throw it in the bucket with the rest of the Russian generated propaganda

[DannyTN]

Oh I was thinking this was the missile that landed in Belarus.

[Chainmail]

Oh goodie - a Russian official site! They ‘d never have any reason to lie.

Please sit down, interloper who is trying to create dissension here.

Maybe most VOCAL Freepers.

Syria the sequel... it’s “like dejé vu all over again!”

[rrrod]

So is invading.

[Vermont Lt]

Could have painted that number on it. The Russians could have captured it.

You are in the middle of a war. The Putin fella tots would love this to be true. But they are subject to the same skepticism they show 400 times a day. Let them work for their rubles.

The missile:

"If the fins are in the middle it’s a Tochka. If the fins are at the end, it’s an Iskander. Here’s some 3D renders."

[JonPreston]

Figured as much.

[mvonfr]

Impossible. Every Ukrainian missile fired has hit a Russian target, every time! Don’t you watch the news? --- But so did this missile! Civilians in the Donbass area are considered to be Russians so murdering them what Ukes do!

[AnthonySoprano]

[R_Kangel]

.... Any chance the Russians have taken or have in their possession Ukrainian missiles?

From RIA, a Russian state-owned news agency. I’ll await independent and non-partisan confirmation.
