Anyone Any idea ?




hoonose said...

Never heard that. I would of course then wonder if those are vacuum bombs/munitions? I can't find an audio to help with my guess.

Footsoldier said...

They sound weird as if the whole area has been electrified.

And Terminator appears out of the mist.

The Russian forces have the Ukrainian military in cauldrons now and are "reducing" them methodically. There are a total of about 60,000 in those cauldrons and they either choose to surrender or be annihilated. The slow-going until now was to reduce civilian casualties until this point.

As Andrei Martyanov said some time ago, this is the end game and it will be "bloody." This is the Russian way of war, not starting with shock and awe as it the 78 day bombing of Belgrade or the bombing of Baghdad.

This operation is what happened previously in Debaltsevo, when the Ukrianian forces attacked Donbass, which lead to the Minsk Agreement. At that time they were let out of the cauldron when Poroshenko, who was president then, ordered a retreat. That wis unlikely to happen this time. Many if not most of the "nationalists" are expected to choose to die.

The Truth About Russia’s Terrifying TOS-1A Thermobaric Rocket Launchers Now In Ukraine.
The infamous TOS-1A combines a multiple launch rocket system with thermobaric projectiles to produce a weapon capable of horrific destruction.

Footsoldier said...

Aye, I think it is coming to an end soon now Tom the big toys are out of the tool box.

But it is up to Biden. He has the power to end this.


But watching him and Pelosi at press conferences. Gives me the fear they are both not right in the head. Can't even string a coherent sentence together.

Footsoldier said...

TOS-1A Thermobaric rocket launchers.


Even the name sounds terrifying.


Tom Hickey said...

@lastgreek

Speaking of "land-grabbing invaders," what about Alexander. Oh right, he was Macedonian. ;)

Footsoldier said...

After that cluster bomb attack on civilians in Donesk over the weekend Putin has obviously said enough is enough and taken the gloves off.


The Ukrainian army will start surrendering in bigger numbers and the neo nazis brigade will either try and escape or be annihilated. They'll be shot on the spot if they surrender.

They reckon there are 3 smaller cauldron s now ready for the pot. As the temperature heats up.

Footsoldier said...

kamala harris is so bad they keep wheeling Biden and Pelosi out in front of the nation.

They just want some jello and a nap and get trapped in their sofa 3 times a day.

Sit them in a bean bag they'll never get out of that to save the world.


Tom Hickey said...

I don't know if TOS-1A are being used in this instance, but they are there as the article shows. hoosnose asked about thermobarics so I put up this reference. These munitions are similar to US Hellfire missiles, which are thermobaric, but they are guided, whereas a TOS-1! volley is designed to take out a whole area. Russia no doubt has weapons similar to the Hellfire, too, and they could have been used for more precision in attacking enemies within a city. The TOS-1A is field artillery, for which the Russian military is well-known.

Footsoldier said...

Those press conferences are like commandant Lassard out of the police academy movies.

lastgreek said...

That is right -- but a Macedonian Greek to be more precise.



NeilW said...

"Those press conferences are like commandant Lassard out of the police academy movies."

Including or excluding the Lectern scene?

Footsoldier said...

Including Neil.

Henry Rech who posts on Billy Blog is unzipping Biden's pants as we speak.

He changes his shoes more times than Imelda Marcos and sounds like the teacher out of Charlie Brown.

Footsoldier said...

Is this ketamine? Chablis and speed? Ibogaine?

Or just drink ?

I bet they are terrified to wheel Pelosi out after lunch

Larov press release after talks with Iran



https://thesaker.is/fm-lavrov-presser-after-talks-with-fm-hossein-amir-abdollahian-iran/


Iran bombed a US/ Israli facility over the weekend with 6 missles . Seems to have been a media blackout regarding it or it is fake.

https://mobile.twitter.com/200_zoka/status/1502785006384693250

A US consulate building in Erbil.


Maybe why Larov is talking to them to say WTF are you doing.

Matt Franko said...

Perhaps we should nuke Iran now that Putin has put warfare back on the list of options…

Would be a game changer…

lastgreek said...

Stop it, Matt. All this talk of death and destruction is giving armchair soldier a woody.

lastgreek said...

Armchair soldier, it's freakin "Lavrov," not "Larov."

I just googled the name "Larov." Some porn actress, I see. Looks like our armchair soldier likes his porn rough. No surprise given his gleeful commentary above of the Russian invasion. Sad :(

Matt Franko said...

Who would complain? Russia and China?

What would they say? “Hey! You can’t destroy a country that didn’t attack you!”

gtfo…

If we were ever going to take out “death to America!” Iran now would be a good time….

Putin opened the door..,
