Fox News saying the Russians used a "vacuum bomb" I assume they're talking about a thermobaric warhead.

If true, ****ing kill them all


Yes, vacuum bomb has become the term for thermobaric... I guess because people are too stupid for thermobaric and vacuum sounds scary with bomb

Path looks weird with the huge turn, but it makes sense if they were trying to avoid getting anywhere near the Ukrainian border.

Interesting point about the no-fly areas. Who is going to enforce it and how? Are we going to scramble jets every time it is violated? Why wouldn't Russian airlines just take their normal paths? Not like they are going to get shot down.

So if it all goes to ****, many people close to targets will die, but the severe damage for a 10mT nuke is limited to .5 miles. Heavy is limited to 1 mile and light is limited to 5 miles. Light is survivable.

LOL No

ETA- 10mt, surface or air burst will
*Kill everything in a 2 mile radius from radiation
*Kill everyone a 4 mile radius through blast wave/pressure/collapse
*Collapse most non-concrete buildings buildings in a 9 mile radius, killing the occupants
*100% chance of 3rd degree burns to anyone caught in the open in a 20 mile radius
And that's just immediate effects.

Unsurprising that Russia would not take any talks seriously. Diplomacy has been over for a while.

Its the Russians giving an F U to the Poles


Supposedly it's going to Slovakia. Really weird route and the fact it'd be escorted is suspect



Could this be the big one?


Big one what? It's a cargo plane.


Yes we know it's a cargo plane. But what could be inside. Enquiring minds want to know.


From what I see it is headed to Bratislava, but I thought that flight was canceled.

4 miles for a few hundred vehicles makes more sense.

Interesting. Either someone getting out. Or maybe some sort of repatriation? However, where would this thing land, they have been banned in all of Europe except Belarus.

All these weapons being sent are nice and all but they should have already been there. Kyiv is needing them right now…

We haven't seen much in the way of those supplies/reinforcements yet. Do you think these resources could be holding until the battle for Kyiv? Perhaps the Russians are watching their backs too much right now?

This just seems eerily quiet.

Interesting tid bit from that wiki about this plane/operator:

The airline also operates an operations base in Houston, Texas, USA at George Bush Intercontinental Airport.[2]

There is also a RC-135 Rivet Joint doing laps around the Ukraine border.

Pretty sure that explosion has already been identified as a hit on an ammo depot

That happened yesterday (our time). Most think it was a conventional hit on an ammo depot, not thermobaric.

Maybe it was just a munitions pile going off at the same time?

From the airline Wikipedia:

Quote:

The airline began flying chartered missions for the US Air Force Air Mobility Command in 2003, and opened a US-based subsidiary in Houston, Texas in 2005, further committing resources to Air Mobility Command in the event of a national emergency.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volga-Dnepr_Airlines#cite_note-USA_to_expand_An-124_use-17][17][/url]

Through its Ruslan Salis joint venture with its Ukrainian competitor, Antonov Airlines, the airline provided strategic airlift services to NATO's Strategic Airlift Interim Solution (SALIS) since 2005.[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volga-Dnepr_Airlines#cite_note-flightglobal.com-18][18][/url]

So yeah...could be friendly.

This is interesting. They have fairly close ties to Russia.

It reminded me of this detonation in the way it exploded. There was the initial blast, and then the secondary one igniting the compressed air that's rushed in to fill the void. Hadn't seen that y'all hashed out already, so take it fwiw:
