You’re still not answering the question.
Why would finding out that this is a Kh-101 instead of a Kh-102 make any difference?
Model would imply usage, ground-to-air, air-to-air, air-to-ground, or ground-to-ground. The usage would imply the likely circumstances of how it was fired, and possibly by whom. That's as direct of an answer as you can possibly get.
Are you able to contribute anything of value here?
fair enough. I'm wondering though how knowing if it was ground-to-air or air-to-air is revealing anything. I mean, wouldn't it all only make sense in combination with footage of the missile being fired - so you could check if the missile fired was at least the same model seen impacting?
And then you'd have to identify the people firing. Easy if they are in a Russian or a Ukranian fighter jet, except I can model and render that in blender and make a video indistinguishable with the naked eye from real footage.
I appreciate your attempt at fact checking images from a war, butbI'm afraid we're so far removed from access to information, unless Reuters makes a horrible blunder, we have no chance of finding out anything we're not supposed to, let alone some big scoop that completely changes the image.
personally, although I find the Ukranian defense admirable, I don't believe they are as successful as portrayed in the media. The Russian forces are just that much stronger.But I get that half of any war is information warfare. It's about instilling the image of young Russians needlessly dying in Ukraine - so the Russian population will start to rebel against their president. Not the worst strategy in a war of images.
