You can be certain both the US and Russia tracked those missiles and know their point of origin.
3. Excellent observation.
Also includes missile fragments, chemical residue, line of attack and radar tracking data re speed, direction of approach (different than angle of approach), range of explosion/debris field, etc.

I believe you’re absolutely right. I look at Flightradar24 fairly frequently. The U.S. or NATO are constantly flying reconnaissance aircraft near Ukraine. Why these are identified I can’t imagine, but they are. We know everything that goes on there. Right now, at this moment, there is a U.S. RQ-4B Global Hawk doing loops over the Black Sea.

Possibly. We’re not running any AWACS in Ukraine ot the Black Sea so anything coming out of Crimea can’t be tracked as it’s over the horizon from NATO airspace.
