You can see the location of the building hit by a missile in Kyiv and the location where the launch video is taken. The blue is where I believe the launch took place. Which is well south of Kyiv and not likely a position the Russians occupy or could have set up a SAM site at.
Which leaves the real likelihood that this building was hit accidentally by a Ukrainian missile.
I lined up the sightlines of the two videos and found the exact location of where the missile was launched from. I will not be sharing it due to security concerns, but it is definitely well south of any known Russian units
I also checked the side the missile hit the building. It generally lines up with the position of where I think the launcher is and where the missile would fly and then impact the building.
Всем россиянам, которые это читают. Ваше правительство продолжает проливать кровь невинных киевлян. Из-за российских бомбардировок в Киеве стоит зенитно-ракетный комплекс. Это должно было защитить народ Украины от ваших бомбардировщиков и ракет. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

In this thread I would like to give a concise and full explanation to proof that a SAM missile accidently hit a apartment building in Kyiv yesterday morning. aljazeera.com/news/2022/2/26…
Before images of the impact at the apartment came in, this video was circulating of a missile launch near the city. This launch seems similar to a launch of a S-300 Surface-to-air system. (Of note both Russia and Ukraine operates these systems)
A few others and I quickly geolocated this video to a neighborhood south of Kiev and near Sikorsky International Airport. This video also shows the missile trail arcing towards where the building was hit.
A Sierra Pacific Airlines 737 SPA708 reg:N708S (#A973D6) is coming to #KMDT from #KTUS. Looks to be a chartered flight, probably by the Feds. DoD has a contract with them, but I wonder if this an ICE flight. ICE flights by another charter line iAero are common at Harrisburg Int'
One way to tell is where it taxis to when it lands. If it taxis to the terminal it is probably a DoD or normal charter, but if it taxis to the cargo ramp than it is an ICE flight. I could not find any info if ICE charters them.
