Thank you. And what about a part from the first photo that a guy looks at? Is that the engine part or something else?
In the top photo? That appears to be the remains of the warhead section (bit behind munitions), probably from an ATACMS M39A1 Block IA smaller cluster warhead based on length and the fact it was a cluster warhead in the video.

Russian MoD published photos of the remains of the ATACMS missiles that attacked the Kursk-Vostochny airfield (Khalino) on the 25th instant, and an S-400 site at Lotarevka in the Kursk region on the 23th instant. Considering the lack of the remains of the warhead and the payload visible on the photos, can our experts assess if the ATACMS missile's engine could have received a hit to the side while descending but after releasing the warhead? Or could the puncture to the engine stage emerge only after hitting the ground?
The lack of a warhead in the same location makes me think that the remains here had already dumped their submunitions before any possible interception.



What is the wingspan of the ATACMS when its' tail-fins are folded?
On the order of 26"/66cm, they had needed a modified fin fold to fit inside the 688 VLS tubes which are 25" in diameter.
