Crazy suggestion, but how about we don't do the Israeli "this blown up hospital is definitely not what it looks like" thing? The rocket used was the Russian-made Kh-101.

Except all the videos, even the video CNN and every western media is showing is clearly a NASAM that misfired. It isn't the first time a Ukrainian patriot or NASAM failed and hit the ground. Also, if it were a kh-101 the damage would be much larger. Interesting this story is being put out right before the NATO summit/fundraiser happens. But if you feel compelled to believe war propaganda the US empire, NATO and a literal neo-nazi regime puts out, that says a lot about you. BTW the same media are ignoring all the actual hospital bombings in Gaza, but sure... "this time amerikkka is telling the truth."

My brother in christ, what is this reactionary leftism. NATO bad, so every single thing they report is a lie and propaganda actually, even when it comes from "your side"? Without so much as to bother to look at the pictures, because they are actually photoshop and ai?

You're looking at a piece of an engine 50cm wide and confidently go "actually this is clearly from a rocket that's 15cm in diameter". Like fuck, man, why is it the same shit on both sides.

You are comparing it to an AIM-9, NASAM uses AIM-120. But the diameter compared to those pictures still is an issue.

More importantly: There's still the problem with blast power. This incident destroyed (not even completely) a relatively small side building of the hospital. If it was a regular Kh-101 the damage would be significantly larger. The updated one even more so (double the warhead, reducing range).
