- Even if it isnt, its not like russia hasnt been targeting Ukrainian civilians since the start of this conflict. It doesn't make targeting civilians justified, but fuck if Russia doesnt sound like hypocritical little shits for acting self righteous for something they do all the time...
- Why makes you think Russia's military will improve so suddenly and dramatically?
Strike seems to be confirmed by Mossad on X. Looks like Ukraine used MLRS cluster munitions on Belgorod.
- Ukraine would have sent them toward military targets. If they're shot down they hit whatever they come down on. There's a big difference there.
  
  there are no military targets in central belgorod
- Did they confirm what system was used? According to sources like Malcontent, Ukraine doesn’t have anything in inventory that was close enough to hit in an east west trajectory with that kind of damage?
  
  Friendly reminder that the 1.7 ton HIMARS-launched ATACMS missile has a range of 310km. Belgorod is about 40km from the Ukrainian border and 80km from Kharkiv. The Vilkha MLRS that the MoD claimed that Ukraine used to strike Belgorod has a range of 130km with R624M rockets.
  Your sources are misinformed.
But it will take some time, we just spent a couple months of build up on the attack this is retaliating to.
