32 Yet another false flag. Missile strikes Kramatorsk, kills 30. Zelensky's aid claims it's a russian "Iskander" missile, Zelensky himself calls it a "Tochka-U" missile. Pictures of the missile confirms it as a "Tochka-U", which are NOT USED by the Russian military.

Because they're really old and have been displaced by much better newer missiles.
are you claiming that Russia doesn't use these missiles anymore?
i am claiming that ukraine is doing most of this stuff to it's own citizens, then blaming russia, so they can play the whole victim card, while zelensky begs for more weapons so they can launder money.
Cool story but apart from parroting Russian propaganda, is there anything you can present to substantiate these claims?
Go to Ukraine, and talk to people. They will confirm.
That's what it means when a weapon system is decommissioned and retired, yes.
Like the US doesn't use Nike missiles or F-117 Nighthawk jets any longer because they are retired.
That doesn't mean you don't have them in storage somewhere.
The tochka-u missles are probably not mothballed because Russia gave them away to Syria and Belarus.
So is that the current Russian narrative that they have given out?
No, it's a fact that they've been retired for a number of years now, replaced by newer and better hardware not built in the 80s, 35+ years ago.
It's also a fact that Ukraine has these weapons systems in active service, as does Belarus and a bunch of other post Soviet states.
It's also a fact that the current Ukrainian regime has been killing its own civilian citizens for 8 years, including with these missles.
