Wait
So you are implying that Russia used an old S-300 missile that was repurposed as a small TBM when it has thousands of Cruise Missiles?

Link ?
Or at least a picture ?
I haven't heard any terror bombing on Russian side, it could be interesting to see any information about it.
And where one can find this "admission" or "boasts"
Oh.. are they reliable ? You know Russians do expend this for training.. and this can happen.
You know, 5V55 and 48N6 comes with SEALED tube.. meaning the missile will never be exposed to the elements as soon as it left factory floor. Modification means OPENING the tube, compromising the missile and in case of older missile compromise it even more. This cannot be done in field condition or in military base. It has to be done in Fakel plant as you then have to Reseal the tube and maybe evacuate air from it (vacuum).
Looks to me like too much work for little benefit.
S-300 are not just used en masse as tactical missiles on Ukrainian targets, but also refined (contract fuse). By the hundreds.
But the Iskanders and Tochkas are practically out.
I am sure you have a source for all those claims. S-300/S-400 do have a land strike mode but the only admited use of it was in the south.
Now I know you are bullshitting me since Russia has retired the Tochka from service and has not used it in Ukraine. The only Tochkas used in Ukraine were from the Ukrainian army. Like the strikes Ukraine did in the harbor at Berdyansk on the Russian transport ships with canister rounds.
On another note. Winter is coming.
Some footage from the Kherson retreat, with Russian units tasked to sabotage boats along the river getting fired on by their own men.
At this point I think it was obvious think tankies aren't trustworthy sources. Specially Wilson Institute think tankies...
There are reports of the Tochkas used against both targets being Ukranian in order to blame the Russians, particularly Kramatorsk as the only Tochkas in the Russian side were captured Ukranian units used by the DNR/LPR since 2014.
Also spare us from the racist "orc" narrative.
CNN reports the US is running low on 155mm ammunition, Stingers and that US and Europe industrial base can't really keep up

It wouldn’t be the first time that Russian troops are using the wrong tool for the job.
They fired tons of Tochka-U at Ukrainian artillery pieces, wasting a valuable weapon. Likewise, the spamming of Kh-59 missiles at low value targets by the VKS due to disarray in target planning and the subordination of the VKS to the Army.
Maybe those was the malfunctioning Ukrainan missisles, expired they use by date few decades ago.
Ocham's razzor, by the available videos the Ukrainan SAM missiles raining onto the cities there .
