There was a video from the cameras at the Garyachka pond near the Kremenchug KredMASH plant.

Thanks to the Ukrainian TG channels, which published a video confirming that there was no substantive attack on the Amstor shopping center in Kremenchug.

The posted footage from CCTV cameras (3 videos) shows an explosion right behind the pond, just where the workshops are located.

This is the first rocket, but there were two of them.

Official Kyiv continued to falsely insist that the second rocket hit the shopping center directly.

At the same time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine cordoned off the place of the incident and strictly suppressed any attempts to photograph the point of the second strike. But the pictures still got on the network.

By bending the rails and the gantry crane, you can very accurately determine the location of the shooting - along the railway tracks separating the plant (left) and the shopping center (right). The photo clearly shows that the debris and debris lie from the side of the plant, on the left. The grass near the fence also burned out on the left side. This clearly indicates that the center of the explosion was located to the left of the tracks, on the territory of the plant.

According to the geolocation of the wreckage, it is possible to accurately determine the place of impact - this is the main railway entrance to the plant and the unloading area. The zone is strategically important for the possibility of receiving military equipment.

Thus, both hits fell on the plant. Subsequent explosions provoked the spread of burning elements and a fire in the shopping center, which worked quietly despite air raids.

#4  How is it that the idiots that always run from their low level Pentagone desks to the press don't seem to have access to SBIRS data?

I'm quite glad they don't...
