The Defense Ministry said open-source footage showed the remains of an air-launched cruise missile fired at Ukraine, and that it was designed in the 1980s as a nuclear delivery system, possibly with the ballast replaced by warheads.
Such a system would still suffer damage from the rocket’s kinetic energy and unused propellant.
