    Why should we stop thinking? You can have a read of the below, and keep thinking. Though it seems your mind is already well and truly made up.

    Information shared on pro-Russian Telegram channels, meanwhile, compared the area where the missile’s missile body landed with the general impact zone of the cluster munitions. Several versions exist of these graphics, but the general trend has them pointing in a south-westerly direction, back into government-held territory.

    However, the experts contacted by Bellingcat again suggested that the direction of the submunitions and missile fragments are not in themselves useful evidence of its precise origin.

    According to Schiller, once the submunitions are deployed (at around two kilometres from impact), the remaining body of the missile likely becomes far less stable due to the change in weight dispersal. After this, it will not behave like a traditional projectile when falling down, Schiller said. “With that, I would not interpret anything into the impact position of the missile body,” he added.

    LaFoy broadly agreed. “The orientation of the booster on the ground will have basically no indication of the trajectory,” he said.“While the orientation points to a generally eastern point of origin, it is not clearly determinable because the booster has a lot of room to tumble off-trajectory”, La Foy stated. “So if it is laying north-south, east, west, backwards, doesn’t really matter”.’
