⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦💥 About the Missile Attack on #Zaporozhye⚡️
At around half past twelve on 22 Mar 2023, several explosions thundered in the Aleksandrovsky district of the leftbank part of #Zaporozhye. Residents reported 5-6 arrivals in the residential area near the Coastal Highway.
Judging by video from the scene, one of the shells hit the junction of residential buildings 2A and 2B on Zaporozhskaya Street and destroyed the balcony sections. Some time later fire broke out in several damaged flats. It could have been caused by ignition of electric generators, which locals often place just on balconies.

🔹What was that?
When breaking down the video of the arrival by frames, you can see that the ammunition has an elongated shape with a small tail. In terms of the ratio of length and diameter, it strongly resembles a large-caliber MLRS projectile.
The direction of impact and nature of the damage suggests that the launching position was located somewhere between #Dneprorudnoye and #Vasilyevka near the shore of the Kakhovka reservoir. The distance to #Zaporozhye is approximately 50 km, which corresponds to the range of Smerch MLRS.
Later, photos from the roof of a neighbouring house appeared, where another unexploded ordnance was allegedly discerned. However, it later turned out that the missile was an ordinary solar panel, which was simply filmed from the "right" angle.
📌 Residential Buildings were not the target of the raid. It is more likely that they were hit either as a result of a targeting error, or due to the condition of the ammunition.
And in any case, with the ongoing problems with ammunition, wasting rockets on residential areas is a luxury that the RF Armed Forces simply can't afford.
🔹 What could have been the real target of the attack?
At first glance, there really are no military facilities or critical infrastructure near the massif that came under fire. However, there are a large number of warehouses within 500 meters, including the cargo department of Novaya Pochta.
Its length-to-diameter ratio strongly resembles that of a large-calibre MLRS projectile.

The company has long been involved in the transportation and delivery of ammunition and other cargo for the AFU, which has caused its terminals to be hit more than once. It is quite possible that this facility was the real target of the missile attack.🇷🇺 High Resolution Infographic; 🇬🇧 MAP
