BILD: The new Russian missile had no explosives and did not cause destruction

The military analyst of the German newspaper BILD Julian Röpke believes that the new Russian ballistic missile that hit the city of Dnipro was a test version of the "RS-26" missile that did not contain explosives.

"Numerous CCTV cameras captured the so-called submunitions, i.e. "RS-26" as they re-enter the lower atmosphere. In this footage, six rockets can be seen falling from the sky through the clouds”, the analyst points out.

"The special thing is that it is a substitute with the same mass and dimensions, which was supposed to simulate a nuclear charge. This proves that it is a propaganda and political action, not a military one. There was no nuclear charge or explosives inside. That's why the damage is so minor. "We don't see explosions, but only kinetic energy from the fall from a height of several hundred kilometers," adds the expert.
