Kharkiv shelling on January 2: the Russian Federation tried to hide the manufacturer of rockets - the prosecutor's office
It is visually reminiscent of Iskander, but it is more careless. Also from the details tried to remove the numbers. The prosecutor's office of Kharkiv region stated this in a comment "Ukrinform". Chubenko noted that it was a rocket that hit the Square of Liberty. It remained a large detail: almost the whole tail. "There are very large parts during the impact of it, including the tail part, which we were able to understand that it was an atypical" Iskander "missile.
What rockets were beaten - the same or not - now I cannot say, since other hits remained during other hits Small parts that cannot be distinguished, whether it is "Iskander" or a rocket similar to it. Expertise is being conducted, "the prosecutor's office said. Chubenko noted that there were traces of the missile that they tried to remove the inscriptions or numbers. "The numbers are wiped on some details.
Which indicates the desire to hide information about this rocket," the spokesman said, showing some of the rocket, which clearly shows traces of mechanical influence confirming his words. And, according to him, the rocket was collected quite carelessly. "The inscriptions were rubbed, tried with a Bulgarian, or a sandpaper. Previously, the Russians did not do it. There were many details of rockets behind me, which they did not do it," the speaker said.
"In addition, we see the internal equipment: the inscriptions inside are not very tidy, made in variety. Usually in such rockets, made in the Soviet Union and already in Russia, the inscriptions are very neat. In some places, even the names of the factory workers are put to establish responsible - Who exactly installed in this rocket. There is no such thing. According to him, this rocket is similar to one of the North Korean, but there is no direct evidence yet.
The new rocket has technical differences. It is a little larger than Iskander, according to Chubenko, "literally 10 mm in diameter. " It also differs in its filling: it is a winding of wires, because on "Iskander" there is protection against HR, special management. In the rocket that hit Kharkov on January 2, there is none, just wires inside the rocket.
There is no direct evidence that this rocket was produced in the DPRK is not carried out, but North Korean missiles were made on the basis of Iskander.
