It went awfully high then came back down, not just straight across. I’ve copied the replies you would have needed to open to understand the witchcraft behind it.

f missiles were the cause then they were pretty slow. (200.000mt/30minutes/)/60 =111mt/sec /343= aprox **match 0.323 **. That absolutely sub sonic. Maybe my bicycle can travel faster than that. Why werent they intercepted by russia ? no air defenses then ?

They must have been travelling in a high arc, so the distance travelled is actually much longer than the straight line distance between the presumed launch site and the arrival area.

I see now. Hmm that could indeed be the reason. Sorry for my error. I am still thinking cause Physics is not exactly my expertise area. I still remember some formulas though. tks.

Any idea on what missile this suggests?

Unfortunately there is not enough information in the magnetic anomaly to suggest a missile type. Sharp spikes in the signature can give an indication of speed. Hypersonic missiles (>=Mach 5) show a few spikes. This missile showed only one spike so Mach 1 - 4, roughly.

By mach 2.5 are you saying that the time from the launch to strike indicates mach 2.5 ground speed? Because a missile such as the sort used for strikes like these take a very highly arched trajectory so the actual missile speed might be much faster.

Yes, the missile no doubt took a highly arched trajectory and achieved higher speeds. My "Mach 2.5" came from an estimate of the speed of the shock wave that arrived in Lviv 6 min
