Many interesting comments about pieces of the air defense missile. Are you currently in Ukraine as independent journalists? Please share evidence. Otherwise, you might look like paid bots. And, one more question: Why does Ukraine have to use the air DEFENSE missiles? For DEFENSE

[Fluclin]

Ukrainian journalists found parts and striking elements of the AIM-120 missile used in the NASAMS air defense system in the ruins of Okhmatdet. Based on the analysis of the videos, it can be assumed that the missile that hit the hospital building looks most like a missile from the air defense system - this is clearly visible from the damage to buildings around (multiple damage to walls from fragments).

The civilian casualty ratio in Gaza is hundreds of times higher than for the conflict in Ukraine. Russia is trying to minimize civilian casualties....

The building was hit by US-made AIM-120 missile launched from NASAMS anti-aircraft system. Russians are attacking Ukrainian weapons depots and army barracks while Zelenskyy is attacking residential buildings with anti-aircraft missiles with long expired shelf life. Zelenskyy already hit Poland, Romania (a jet and a chopper were downed, 8 servicemen killed), Moldova, Belarus, numerous residential buildings and at least 4 children’s playgrounds inside Ukraine with these missiles. Western missiles which are sent there are also with either expired shelf life or very close to expiration date. It’s mindboggling how many buildings were hit and civilians killed (including two hapless Polish farmers) with this ongoing criminal lunacy of Zelenskyy regime. The chance of downing Russian missile is negligible in comparison with a risk of an accident with numerous civilian casualties. To give weapons to this war criminal Zelenskyy is like giving matches and gasoline to a serial compulsive arsonist.
