Maybe it's one of the cheap decoy missiles Russia is firing waves of, to make Kiev fire all its Patriots, So then the Patriot battery(s) can be taken out at leisure. It would not surprise me if Russia isn't even bothering to put explosives on the decoys. Why bother since they don't need accurate guidance systems. The closer they are (in cost) to cardboard cutouts, the better. Russia is trying not to destroy Kiev, while grinding down NATO arms stocks.
Russia has basically already won nato has nothing.
I think it's an air-defense missile but IDK what kind. Definitely not an "Iron Dome", because those fly up into the air and blow themselves up like a firework. Oh, I mean like a "spectacular midair interception".
Ukraine has got to be absolutely littered with these things by now. Which is good because I'm sure the economy is going to be so depressed for decades there's going to be a lot of people picking these up and turning them in at the recycling center for a few hryvnia.
I am pretty sure it is one of the ones shot by the patriot system.
As far as recycling goes, haha, I doubt the regular folk will get much chance with the current regime.
Yes, I believe you're right about them being dud Patriots. I just came across this story with the same photo:

Well, it confirms for me that at least some of those square tubes had missiles in them. I always thought they might have just been filled with hundred dollar bills and cocaine.
I agree stuffing them with money would have been wiser and cheaper.
But the only cocaine found would be on the bills. Small amounts remaining 'sucked dry' if you would.
