Impacts landing in Belgorod. One of the impacts was on Sobornaya Square, an open area in the middle of town where apparently a New Years festival was taking place. The tree and booths can be seen in one of the videos....
....Note Pantsyrs appear to have been mainly used for air defence in Belgorod from subsequent Ukrainian strike attempts and missile stages from them did fall to the ground. However they clearly don't produce the types of impacts we saw in that video.
This indicates that Ukrainian missiles were intercepted over the city of Belgorod, not before the city. If the Russians had wanted to protect the city, they would have placed the air defence units before the city (I mean between the city and Ukraine). Here, it seems that they protected something behind the city.
It's possible that Ukrainians fire at the sites behind the city and that two of them crashed in the city center after being intercepted.
SAM's don't cause big blast when falling on the ground, but a deviated incoming missile will, if it's not destroyed in the air. This is especially true if missiles are flying at low altitude.
The only indication of significant explosions are two black smoke columns, at some distance from each other. All the rest are broken windows, an ambulance, blast sounds and car alarms.
This doesn't mean that the Ukrainians didn't target a civilian areas on purpose or at least by carelessness. But before accusing them, I think more evidence are needed.
It's very curious that Ukrainians don't say anything about this event. That means that they prefer not to talk about it.
About the number of vehicle sent by the West to Ukraine, I don;t remember such numbers, like 800 M113, 500 MaxxPros and 650 Humvees. I though the numbers were much lower. But you probably know better than me on this topic.
It's true that with the time, numbers add up little by little.
