"Purposeful Work on Square": The Russian Federation could hit Odessa with a cassette "Isander" - Kovalenko

"The Russian invaders used a ballistic missile type 9M723" Iskander ", launched from the territory of the temporarily occupied peninsula of Crimea <. . . > But there is a chance that it was a cassette combat unit," he explained. He explained this assumption by the fact that there was a large area of ​​lesion with minimal damage to fundamental structures. Most blows to Odessa are made from the territory of the occupied Crimean peninsula with a ballistic weapon, he added.

In the Primorsky district, the civilian sector with a large number of residential complexes is mostly located. But the houses themselves were affected minimally. "This is typical of cassette combat units, when the lesions are applied over a large area of ​​subbov -supplies," he explained. The expert noted that if the fragile-fugitive combat unit were used, the damage would be different. The larger area would be injured in moderate severity, incl. Road transport and people.

According to him, the impact can not be evaluated as an attempt by Russians to strike a separate object, whether the composition with ammunition, whether it is a military unit, but as a purposeful work in the area, in order to cause maximum damage to civilian populations and buildings. According to the Ukrainian soldiers, a missile has fallen into the residential sector of the Primorsky district of Odessa.

Fifteen minutes earlier the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation launched over the city the reconnaissance UAV "Orlan-10", the air force said. Recall the details of a new blow to Odessa. According to President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, rocket strokes of the Russian Federation are demonstrative. The Russians claim that they allegedly attacked the "hotel-hotel", but, according to Ukraine, the purpose of the shelling of Odessa became a parking lot and educational institution.
