It is unclear where the top key photo showing "rod" is coming from; do not immediately see it following the link, and image search comes back with nothing. The other allegedly rod, on a seat cushion/cover appeared and was discussed before here (8.11.2014). It may come from a fragmentation warhead, including Buk (as illustrated in that post), or elsewhere. The origin of that photo appears uncertain. -- Resup
- Here is the original for the rod(?) photo... 'Rods' appears to be quite thin bars, much thinner than rivet heads. Do not see good photos of rods of plausible air--to air missiles, but here is Soviet anti-aircraft artillery shell with rod elements (evanesce_girl; Cassad) . Rod length roughly matches the one seen on MH17 photos. Thickness here appears greater than on MH17 'rods' photos. -- Resup
How rod damage will look like?
Sidewinder rod damage (tungsten rods) It is thought that R 60 damage will look similar, as R -60 is similar in design; but it is believed to have straight rods, not L-shape. --Resup (talk) 23:23, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
