Yeah, I didn’t say I couldn’t find articles about the landing; it’s been all over Lemmy. My issue is that I couldn’t find anything specific to where the lander crashed, if it even reached anywhere near the South Pole.
None of the articles you linked indicate where the lander crashed. They acknowledge it was headed for the South Pole, “switched to an off-design orbit”, and crashed into the Moon.
There’s plenty of articles about Russia’s failed moon landing.
