A strange rocket hit on a parachute caught on eyewitness camera

A resident of Kramatorsk filmed a strange rocket on a parachute on a mobile phone camera.

The night before, the residents of Kramatorsk noticed a strange rocket in the sky, which, after being launched, unexpectedly released a parachute and began to slowly descend. At the same time, a large number of explosions occurred, which witnesses of the strike associate precisely with the arrival of this rocket.

In the presented photo you can see the moment the parachute was released by the rocket. Apparently, the rocket has a length of about 7-8 meters and a special compartment with a parachute, the latter being used as a moderator. This is probably due to the fact that we are talking about a rocket with a cluster warhead, while the presence of the parachute itself is necessary in order to ensure the prompt firing of submunitions. This probably explains the reason why numerous explosions occurred during the flight of the rocket.

This is not the first time such a missile has been used. In particular, it was previously reported that such ammunition had already been seen on the territory of the Kharkiv region, however, it has not yet been possible to determine for certain the type of missile and the installation from which the latter was launched.

What kind of targets were hit by the specified missile is not reported.
