Russia started paying reparations to Ukraine
2022-11-16
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary, unless otherwise noted, is by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:

In which the good colonel waxes sarcastic.
[ColonelCassad] Today Russia started paying reparations to Ukraine. There were three large tranches in total.

The issuance of reparations occurs through the free delivery of cruise missiles to infrastructure facilities in Ukraine.

As a result of dozens of hits in various regions of Ukraine, power went out in Kyiv, Kharkov, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytsky, Sumy, Lvov, Rivne, Odessa, and Izyum.

There were also arrivals in Vinnitsa, Krivoy Rog, Kovel, Kremenchug, Ivano-Frankivsk, Zaporozhye, etc. etc.

In Kiev, an anti-aircraft missile has traditionally hit a residential five-story building. In the evening we are waiting for tales about the fact that all 120% of the missiles flying to Ukraine were shot down.

I think that the payment of reparations should be intensified. Responsible for payments - General Surovikin.

Ukrainian air defense destroyed a Polish tractor

[ColonelCassad] During today's "payment of reparations" to Ukraine, according to Poland, two rockets fell on Polish territory and allegedly killed two people and damaged a tractor trailer.

After that, the media began to declare two Russian missiles and threatened to use the 5th article of the NATO charter (hello Caribbean Crisis 2.0). However, after the publication of the photos, it turned out that at least 1 missile belongs to Ukraine.

In the first photo, a fragment of a rocket that fell in Poland.
In the second photo, a fragment of the S-300 air defense missile system that fell in Dagestan on 10/08/2020 during the Karabakh war.
As you can see, the wreckage is identical, which means that a Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile from the S-300 air defense system fell on the territory of Poland.

The Russian Defense Ministry has already reported that no strikes were made on the border areas with Poland, and the missile fragments belong to Ukrainian weapons.

The statements of the Polish media and officials about the alleged fall of "Russian" missiles in the area of ​​​​the settlement of Przewoduv is a deliberate provocation in order to escalate the situation.

No strikes were made against targets near the Ukrainian-Polish state border by Russian means of destruction.

The fragments published in hot pursuit by the Polish media from the scene in the village of Przewoduv have nothing to do with Russian weapons.

Could have been intended for an entirely different direction, and malfunctioned. SAMs are supposed to self-destruct if they miss and start to fall back down. This one obviously didn't, so there's a reasonable chance that the guidance package was completely fucked and it was flying blind.
