Remains of domestically made Ukrainian 300mm guided missile "Vilkha" for Smerch MLRS near #Donetsk. Ukrainian officials confirmed that production is working and 'Vilkha-M' missiles are used. Max range is 120km. Planning to increase to 150~ km. #HIMARS #MLRS #Ukraine #Mariupol Fenix Insight: Visible in the images are likely parts of a Ukrainian R624 (Р624) series 300 mm guided rocket, which is a close range ballistic missile (CRBM) of the Vil'kha (Вільха, commonly seen as just Vilkha) series of multiple rocket launcher systems (MRLS). Based on the information available from the images the visible parts appear to be the thruster correction component of the missile, which corrects the trajectory during the initial stage of flight.
