‘Will They Try To Take It Apart?’: Russian Soldiers Disgrace Themselves By Failing To Recognize Their Own Missile

The “experts” don’t even know the Russian alphabet.

The Russians published a video of two invaders in the Avdiivka area finding an unexploded missile in a field and “authoritatively” stated that it was something “Western.” At the same time, they were not embarrassed by the Russian letters on the missile body; for some reason, Russian soldiers decided that they were English — they are being ridiculed on the Internet for this.

The video was published in his Telegram channel by military observer of the Information Resistance group Oleksandr Kovalenko. He made a number of important points.

“I don’t know where these “experts” saw English letters on the body, without seeing the Cyrillic markings “КБ” and “3Д” (apparently they don’t even know the Russian alphabet, let alone the Latin one), but their wunder rocket turned out to be a jet MO.1.01.04M projectile for TOS-1A “Solntsepek”, he writes.

According to Kovalenko, the video is interesting because it is the first captured MO.1.01.04M that did not work as far as he remembered. It is also important that the projectile is manufactured in 2023, that is, they deliver projectiles for the “Solntsepeks” literally right from the assembly line. The third point that the observer noted was that the shell actually fell on the heads of the occupiers themselves. This is due to the extremely limited flight range of MO.1.01.04M and the extreme proximity of the positions of the parties.
