Confusing headline. A few points inside:

• Analyzing the missile’s maneuverability will determine which anti-aircraft missiles it can evade.

• They might advise on disrupting the missile’s communication or disabling its GPS.

• This analysis would help the RF military quickly detect launch sites and missile locations.

Would be interesting to know how they got a intact ATACMS.

It was clear from the beginning that every weapon system used in Ukraine could and probably would land on the black market, that’s why Israel didn’t provide any own weapon system fearing it would land in the hands of their enemies.

Dang they’re only 30 years behind us now.

I mean it’s easier to build something new than guess how a black box you don’t have access to works (short of spying on the manufacturing facility). I’m sure Russian missile technology has at least somewhat kept up.

Usually it’s just a missile that belly-flopped due to a malfunction, and was then found and studied.
