The X-101s shot down on the night of June 12 carried cluster warheads, and residents of Vasilkov, Glevakha and surrounding villages were urged not to approach the subelements.
Defense Express notes that shooting down a missile with a cluster warhead does not mean that these sub-elements detonate in the air. That is why the area where such missiles fall will be cluttered with dangerous cluster submunitions.
They appear as metal balls or truncated cylinders with an approximate size of about 10 cm in diameter. We are talking about fragmentation munitions designed to destroy light equipment in open areas, as well as effective against manpower.
Such submunitions may have an automatic detonation system based on a timer that goes off after some time. Therefore, approaching them is extremely dangerous, and if detected, it is necessary to call the appropriate services.
