      I’m sure most people knew it was Russia from the start, but I saw a comment earlier today that apparently Russia was saying that it was a Ukrainian defense missile that fell out of the air. They are likely just confirming that it was indeed Russia.

      Yeah, some Russian shills tried to claim it was nasams. But those are Amraam missiles that do not carry a payload to do anything near that kind of damage.

      Russkies seriously (whatever that mean for them) claimed it was an ukrainian anti-air missile.

    …an analysis conducted by Bellingcat using social media footage as well as a 3D model of the missile, all point to the munition being a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile. 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.

    in the article they’ve got a freeze-frame where you can clearly see the missile just before impact. https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/f5d4b101-e1c3-450c-a30d-fcc75de1b62d.png
