The corresponding photographs were published by the Telegram channel “Colonel General Staff”.
“Militarny” writes that the released footage shows a fragment of the aerodynamic rudder of an anti-aircraft missile and elements of the fuselage.
On May 12, at exactly 11.21, the entrance to an apartment building collapsed on Shchorsa Street in Belgorod, as a result of which six people were killed and about 20 were injured of varying degrees of severity.
The local governor hastened to blame Ukraine for the incident, but later a video recording of the explosion was made public, the storyboard of which does not show the arrival of the ammunition; on the contrary, the video confirms that the explosion occurred from the north-eastern part of the building.
Beyond the northeastern part of the building is a vast open area that could accommodate Russian air defense systems.
The Ukrainian border is south of the building, so Ukrainian ammunition could not hit the building from the northeast direction.
Earlier, Militarny reported that the starting engine of the Russian 57E6 anti-aircraft guided missile of the Pantsir complex pierced the roof of a private house and flew into a children’s room in Belgorod.
The engine is known to separate about 2.6 seconds after liftoff, giving the rocket its initial speed.
This indicates that the Pantsir complex was located in close proximity to residential areas of the city.
The fall of 57E6 rocket launch engines onto residential buildings due to the negligence of Russian air defense crews is a routine for the civilian population of Belgorod.
