Military analysts doubt the veracity of the official Russian version of the causes of the collapse of a house in Belgorod. There are several reasons for this.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, a “piece of a Ukrainian Tochka-U missile” hit the high-rise building. However, footage published online indicates that it was a Russian missile.

It was a Russian missile

The first evidence that a Russian missile hit a house in Belgorod was provided by OSINT analyst Oliver Alexander. He noted that from the southwestern side, that is, the conventionally “Ukrainian” side, the fall of the ammunition was not visible. And the explosion was probably caused by a shell that fell on the north-eastern side.

In addition, second evidence is that on the north-eastern side of the building the garages and cars in front of the house were heavily damaged. The same analyst argues that such damage could be expected after a gliding bomb hit the lower floors of the building.

Third evidenceis broken glass. The Belgorod publication “Ashes” wrote that the glass of the house flew out of the northeastern part of the building – but in the southwestern part everything remained intact. That is, the windows were broken out on the “Russian” side of the house.

Military analyst Yan Matveev brought one more – already the fourth piece of evidence. According to him, burnt areas are visible on the façade of the building from the north-eastern part. That is, it was in this part that the main explosion occurred. no traces of shrapnel. When a rocket explodes from Tochka-U, the elements scatter in open space over a distance of 3 hectares. However, since an air defense missile also leaves shrapnel, it is possible that a Russian air bomb exploded. However, traces may not be visible due to rubble.

Hit a house in Belgorod

• Previously, the Conflict Intelligence Team (CIT) also suggested that Belgorod was hit by Russian ammunition on May 12. They also noted that the arrival most likely occurred from the north-eastern side. universal planning and correction module (UMPC). In addition, it was noted that the impact of the S-300 complex was enough for the entrance to collapse, and the scale of the collapse could hide the scattering of debris.
• At the same time, the possibility is that the Ukrainian missile changed direction researchers consider movement as a result of shooting down air defenses as unlikely.
