Reasons why it's a Russian Kh-101 missile that bombed Okhmatdyt children's hospital:

The warhead. A NASAMS air defence missile would 1) self-destruct and 2) not do that much damage (See Ryan McBeth's X tweet.)

turbofin at the end

side fins

remnants found at the site

the estimated length, diameter [x]

round nose

atmospheric distortion from exhaust = continuously propelled (see F. Hoffman's tweet).

Part of the Russian military directly responsible according to Molfar:

During the investigation, specific military units and personnel involved in the missile strike on Okhmatdyt Hospital were identified. This information was obtained through cooperation with confidential sources within relevant governmental structures. It is reliable information about the military units that carried out the attack on July 8, 2024. The following military units are responsible for the attacks: The 44th Missile Brigade of the Russian Aerospace Forces (military unit 83122). The 22nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Division of the Long-Range Aviation Command of the Russian Aerospace Forces  The 22nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Division, Long-Range Aviation Command of the Russian Aerospace Forces (military unit 06987, based at Engels airfield). The 52nd Guards Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment, Aviation Division of the Long-Range Aviation Command of the Russian Aerospace Forces (military unit 33310, based at Shaykovka airfield).

1) If you zoom in and look closely, you'll see atmospheric distortions indicating the exhaust stream coming from the missile's rear section. This is typical for cruise missiles like the Kh-101, as cruise missiles are continuously propelled until impact. In contrast, rocket-propelled missiles like the AIM-120 burn their fuel within seconds and then glide to their target, so you wouldn't see an exhaust stream this late in the flight. 2) The missile's rear fins are too large and do not match the shape of those on an AIM-120. 3) The bottom-mounted TRDD-50A turbofan engine is clearly visible. This type of engine is common in some Russian land-attack cruise missiles, including the Kh-101 and the Kh-55, and is considered outdated in design. 4) Two relatively large wings are located in the mid-section, typical for land-attack cruise missiles like the Kh-101. These large wings are necessary for lift but do not match the number or shape of the mid-section fins on an AIM-120. 5) The shape of the fuselage is not perfectly round, but rather a "rounded box-shape" design unique to the Kh-101. This sets it apart from the AIM-120 and Russian cruise missiles like the Kh-55, which have a cylindrical fuselage. 6) The missile has a somewhat blunted nose, unlike the conic and pointy nose of the AIM-120.
