First combat evidence of Ukrainian use of Dutch Ruta Block 1 cruise missile

Imagery circulating on Russian Telegram reportedly shows wreckage consistent with the Dutch Destinus Ruta Block 1 after an operational strike, suggesting the system has entered combat use. The low-cost, mass-producible ground-launched cruise missile (claimed ~300+ km range, ~150 kg warhead) would expand Ukraine’s deep-strike options against fixed targets inside Russia, including in GPS-contested environments via mixed inertial/satellite/visual navigation.
