This was a Standard Weight tank and was painted white Debris from Salyut 7, which landed in Argentina in 1991. This is a list of artificial objects reentering Earth's atmosphere by mass (see space debris). Such objects are often completely destroyed by reentry heating, but large enough objects or components can survive.

As of January 2019, more than 128 million pieces of debris smaller than 1 cm (0.4 in), about 900,000 pieces of debris 1–10 cm, and around 34,000 of pieces larger than 10 cm (3.9 in) were estimated to be in orbit around the Earth. [8] When the smallest objects of artificial space debris (paint flecks, solid rocket exhaust particles, etc.) are ...

In low-earth orbit, objects can collide at around 23,000 miles an hour, enough for even the tiniest debris to crack the windows on the International Space Station. Nearly 30,000 objects are ...

Wow, that is fast. Including only "more-or-less intact" objects could create problems in trying to judge between different degrees of destruction. For example, according to this even Ranger 4 (included at List of artificial objects on the Moon) impacted at 9,617 km/h. Whether that's fast enough to vapourise much of the probe I don't know, but ...
