Original Note:
The pictured NASAMS AIM-120 AMRAAM missile have a warhead of 20 kg. This is not enough to cause the massive damage to the building as visible in the photos of the hospital. Rather, the turbofan engine at the rear visible on the photo point towards a Russian Kh-101. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AIM-120_AMRAAM https://www.reuters.com/pictures/russian-missile-attack-hits-ukraine-childrens-hospital-2024-07-08/ https://missiledefenseadvocacy.org/missile-threat-and-proliferation/todays-missile-threat/russia/kh-101102/
