Curious about what was where it actually hit. Seems pretty clear Samsung was not the target. Electrical substation "across the street" would be a probable target, but was missed.
I.e., did it hit a plausibly intended target, or miss?

To my eye, the missile struck the roof of the low building next to the Samsung tower. The buildings there, as far as I know from looking at them, are light commerical - restaurants, shops, etc.
- Suzuran 4y agoAll of Ukraine is the intended target.
- tomatotomato37 4y agoIt's most certainly a miss. People have this weird perception due to all the modern propoganda with the tomahawk missile and such that military equipment is now 100% accurate and reliable. In reality these are still physical objects that are subject to mechanical failure/enemy action/entropy/whatever and the average failure rate is still such that you have to send a volley of 3 or 4 guided missiles downrange to absolutely guarantee a kill.
- JumpCrisscross 4y ago> this weird perception due to all the modern propoganda with the tomahawk missile and such that military equipment is now 100% accurate and reliable The accuracy of Russian munitions has been demonstrably lower than NATO standard [1]. They’re also running low on good munitions, leading e.g. to land strikes by surface-to-air S-300s [2].

- dragontamer 4y agoThese attacks in Ukraine _were_ the good Russian missiles. They're from a precious small stockpile of Russian precision weapons. And they wasted it on civilian targets. S300 cannot strike Kyiv, not from where the the frontline has moved.
- dekhn 4y agoThere was a whole article in the NY Times explaining how this is true for the Russians, but not the HIMARS being used by Ukraine.
- jddil 4y agoMiss? Russia is indiscriminately firing missiles into dense civilian areas for maximum terror. They did not miss.
- ncmncm 4y agoThere are always more specific targets in an area that cause more trouble destroyed than others. Blowing up a playground when nobody is there has to be counted as a miss when an electrical substation is nearby.
- rasz 4y agoofficially they didnt miss anything https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russias-defence-ministry-all-targets-hit-massive-missile-strikes-ukraine-2022-10-10/ https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russias-defence-ministr... >Russian defence ministry said in its daily briefing: >"The goal of the strike has been achieved. All designated targets were hit," ergo this childrens playground was the intended target https://mobile.twitter.com/ArmanSoldin/status/1579354844951121922 https://mobile.twitter.com/ArmanSoldin/status/15793548449511... https://twitter.com/mjluxmoore/status/1579357969577545729 https://twitter.com/mjluxmoore/status/1579357969577545729
