The Armed Forces stated that the blow to Kiev was caused by controlled missiles from the C-400/C-300 anti-aircraft missile system. The shelling took place from the north direction. We will add, to the north of the capital is Belarus. The C-400 is a Russian air defense system that is in service with the Russian Federation. This is a deep modernization of the S-300 ZRK. The arms directory says that the complex supports some types of missiles and other parts of the predecessor division.
Open accessories there is information that the 48H6 anti-aircraft missile is included in the C-400 SPS. Its range of lesions, depending on the modification, reaches 200 km. It is able to strike, including land purposes. If the starting unit is placed in Belarus as close as possible to the borders of Ukraine, then the radius of the lesion is all Kyiv, as well as Chernihiv, Sumy and Zhytomyr regions.
If the starting unit was not in Belarus, but in the territory of the Russian Federation in the Bryansk region, then in this case the radius is not enough to cover all Kyiv. The fragments of the rocket, as reported in the Kiev Ova, fell in the Holosiivsky and Darnytsky districts of the capital, which do not fall into the area of possible shelling.
