Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.
[ColonelCassad] 1. As a result of the arrival of a tactical missile at the Kramatorsk railway station, 30 civilians were killed and about 100 wounded.
2. Ukraine immediately stated that it was Russia that fired at people who were in a hurry to evacuate, and that it was an Iskander with a cluster warhead.
3. When photos of rocket fragments appeared, it turned out that this was Tochka-U, which is used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. After that, Zelensky changed his shoes and began to assert that this was not an Iskander, as Arestovich and Kirilenko broadcast, but Tochka-U, only Russian.
4. In the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, "Tochki-U" was officially withdrawn from the armament of missile brigades in connection with the transition to the "Iskander". There is not a single video showing the combat use of Tochek-U by the RF Armed Forces or the armies of the DPR and LPR in the Donbass (even if we assume that they will be taken from long-term storage bases). At the same time, there are a lot of videos of the combat use of the Iskander and other types of missiles. At the same time, Ukraine uses Tochki-U everywhere, including to strike at Donetsk, where the SBU gathered a rally specifically for this strike through front men in social networks.
5. The missile, presumably, flew in from the southwest. According to one data. was hit. For others, it worked just fine. On the rocket everything was inscribed "For the children"
6. It is also worth noting that the population of Donbass, including Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, is considered by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to be disloyal (in Ukraine, residents of Donbass are actually deprived of voting rights), so they can easily be sacrificed.
From Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets:
It has been established where Tochka-U flew to Kramatorsk
The strike on the railway station of Kramatorsk was carried out by a missile division of the Ukrainian armed forces from the area of ​​​​the settlement of Dobropolye, 45 kilometers southwest of the city.
This follows from the statement of the Russian military, who established the place from which the strike on the railway station in Kramatorsk was carried out.
If the rocket went off course, that's one thing. But if the rocket flew purposefully to Kramatorsk, and it looks like it did, then this is a provocation in order to catch up with the emotions of the highest European commissioners who are coming to Kyiv today.
