Sputnik Globe ^ | 7/9/2024

UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) - An air defense missile that hit a children's hospital in Kiev was likely fired from a Norway-supplied NASAMS system, and Russia is waiting for a reaction from Oslo in this regard, Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vassily Nebenzia said on Tuesday.

I guess this is as good as the mainstream media (who never lie about anything ever).

I’m not asking you to ping the list, but comments from Zeepers, if they see this, should be fun.

This story reminded me of this, “I shot an arrow into the air, it fell to earth, I knew not where;” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

So,the same applies for shooting AA or SAMS into the air, and miss the target, they can/will fall to earth ANYWHERE.

Must be a new concept for Zeepers to understand that, what goes up WILL come down.

Collateral damage from the Uke missile. It’s the same regrettable situation as when the U.S. launched ATACMS missile was destroyed and dropped its cluster bomblets on the Crimean beach. It’s war and these terrible things happen.

I saw a video. If it was indeed the same place, it was about 3 missiles, not one.

I still think russias invasion of Ukraine is wrong.

The delight over the bombing of a hospital is absurd.

Russia is the cause.

Complete Russian nonsense.

Russian missile that hit Kyiv hospital easily identified as a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile by its unique rear jet engine and two wings near the middle part of the missile.

Note that the features of the missile that hit the hospital closely match those of the Kh-101, but not at all those of the AIM-120 model

Complete Russian nonsense.

Thanks for those very informative photos that show... nothing.

Lol! Well, you’re great entertainment.

Are you paid to do this?

I seriously doubt the damage to that hospital was caused by an errant SAM.

It was clearly a Russian Kh101 missile and NOT a US supplied AIM-120 missile.

US is partially to blame. The left demonized Russia for years, isolated them to attack Trump making them feel vulnerable and wronged. They are certainly capable of intrigue and duplicity but Trump would have been able to work with them to improve world relations.

Bellingcat? Really?

The analysis is in line with the view of experts, including Fabian Hoffman, a doctoral research fellow at the University of Oslo who specialises in missile technology.

Dr. Jeffrey Lewis, a nuclear weapons and missile expert at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey in California, similarly concluded in an email to Bellingcat that a Kh-101 missile could be seen in footage of the attack posted to social media sites.

Bellingcat is a known group tied to certain parties…

They quote an expert whose opinion is based on images from social media which have almost certainly been manipulated and endlessly reposted. And sent by email to Bellingcat?

Other experts are looking at the BDA, results of the strike, and cannot find evidence it was caused by the massive warhead of a targeted KH missile, but rather a much smaller warhead that left the main hospital building with shrapnel marked standing walls and blown out windows, prob from a blast that occurred when the AD missile hit a courtyard and one corner of a smaller building in the complex, which is prob where the deaths (2-3?) occurred. The smallish flash and fragmentation that occurred behind a tall structure the missile flew past, reflected from nearby windows, is also available on videos.

Feel free to post a link to your "other experts". I'll wait...

I suppose the next set of headlines from ISW and Bellingcat could read:

“Inferior quality of Russian weaponry revealed as KH missile fails to destroy a targeted children’s hospital and kill the patients and staff, denying an important victory to Russia as it seeks to inflict genocide on Ukrainian women and children…”
