WNU Editor: This Russian MoD news conference is a follow-up on previous claims .... Syria And Russia Claim They Recovered Two U.S. Cruise Missiles That Did Not Explode In Last Weeks Missile Strikes (April 22, 2018). What's my take .... aside from the unexploded warhead that they are claiming they have, these fragments is what I expect that they will find from any strike.

Russian MOD acts a bit like a baby here.. "look at us, look at us, we've got some tangled fragments" "we big boys, we will study them, we will improve uhhuhhh we know fire when we see fire!"
lol
I find it hard to believe they found an unexploded warhead after 105 missiles. The only way this logically makes sense to me, is if those were the last two fired, or very close to the last two.
If true 6 and that's a big if) who knows where it ended up. They have around a 3% chance of going astray, misfiring, or not detonating.
I think that was the approx figure Jay ?
