The KH-101 is a stealthy long-range cruise missile, with advanced guidance systems capable of hitting targets with incredible accuracy.
Not so accurate this time.
However, the crash site coordinates have the same latitude as Kyiv and the longitude coincides with Lviv.

Ah yes, the old lat and long reversal. Haven't seen that since we ran aground in Tahiti.

Media reports of Russia using bits of "old" nuclear rocketry hardware as evidence of a beleaguered adversary swinging blindly while on the ropes.

This fracas, is all down to poor planning, bloody useless execution and poor management.

Missed orders/operationally planned/authorized killing of civilians.

'Fight to the death,' just a coverup for the fact that Wagner group has the job of shooting anyone who runs the wrong way when an attack order is given. Hundreds of Russian soldiers die every day in piecemeal attacks just to keep the Ukrainians busy.

It's a more efficient outcome that your troops remain alive after an engagement but I take your point that it's a risky business.

A quote attributed to General George S. Patton sums it up pretty well. "The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his".

Yes but Russians have a cannon fodder mentality , a but like when they went after Germany .just kill every German they came across not even caring about losses.

Ukraine hit an old school with HIMARS at Makiivka and estimate they killed 400 Russian soldiers but the Russians say 89. The school also served as an ammunition dump. The Ukrainians focused on the school after picking up Russian cell 'phone calls from that location.

Gruesome.
