This naval mine is sad because someone in Syria dropped it out of a helicopter onto dry land I'm putting together various Syria Youtube playlists at the moment if you are all looking for interesting videos from Syria.

I've just put together a post about a couple of mystery bombs used in Syria, if anyone has a clue what they could be it would be a great help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiGlY6DxodE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DznRyIQ1js

front wing flexing posted:That one seriously looks like regime's first DIY gravity bomb. I was just saying the same thing to someone on Twitter, they both seem to have a whiff of the DIY about them. I've been looking through Soviet/Russian arms catalogs and not been able to find a match for either of them so far. If anyone is looking for videos from Syria I've been putting them into various Youtube playlists for a while, you all might find something interesting there.

I'll ask around to see if anyone has a subtitled version. Meanwhile, I've been cataloging hundreds of videos of cluster bombs in Syria, and these two videos are my picks for best and worst cluster bomb videos (that aren't horribly gory) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXxUnzximuY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7hU6lI3Poc The worst video, which I won't post here, shows a motorcycle that was hit by a bomblet, the rider of which was decapitated in such a way that it degloved the skin on his neck, left his head in one piece, and resulted in what looked like a macabre sockpuppet being held up to the camera.

wdarkk posted:What kind of rocket attack was that? It seemed to be subsonic and I saw like 2 frames of something rocket-looking at a 45 degree or so angle. Some Katyusha variant? BM-21 Grad seems the most likely, they've been using them a lot recently, even with cluster munitions, which civilians keep picking up and end up getting killed by. Speaking of Syria,and Syria being blown to poo poo, a new bomb has been sighted in the Homs region, and I'm buggered if I can figure out what it is, hoping some of you might have a clue. Here's one of the clearer examples of it being used https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HItSz8JhpU There's more videos of them being used here, and from what I can tell they have parachutes, are dropped in groups of 4-6, and appear to have time delayed fuzes. I've been tracking the arms used in Syria for months, and I've put together this post with the weapons commonly used by the air force, supported with UXO evidence, and this doesn't seem to match any of the ones used so far. Meanwhile, here's some examples of Syrian DIY rockets not working quite as they should https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUJn7H6Cxic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeXBZpsjmQE Brown Moses fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Jan 21, 2013 |

Thanks, I'll take a look at that. I'm hoping some UXO will turn up eventually and make life easier for me. Another thing that's interesting about that video is how low they are flying, which suggests they don't believe there's the MANPADS threat in the Homs region they face in other parts of the country.

Madurai posted:It's the Russian equivalent of Snakeeye--retarded bombs designed for low-level delivery. Don't recall the designation off the top of my head. Thanks, here's another mysterious explosion from Syria. Last week there was an attack on Aleppo University, in a government controlled area. Two large explosions, with the opposition claiming it was a government jet or rockets, and the government claiming variously it was car bomb or rebel rockets/missiles. This new video of the event appears to show it was a rocket or missile rather than a car bomb, but it's still unclear what sort of size of munition could cause the shown explosion, so it's still unclear if it was a jet, or surface to surface missile https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eka1FK_iJIU

Snowdens Secret posted:Hey Brown Moses have you seen any evidence in ordnance debris that would support the claim that the Syrians have already used chemical weapons? How does a crumpled chemical munition differ in appearance from a conventional round? I tried googling for clues but unfired munitions look awfully like every other round, and considering how this war has gone I'd half expect to see 80-gallon drums with Mr Yuk on the side chucked out of helicopters. None I've seen, and as you say it's hard to know if they did. If I did find UXO evidence of chemical weapons I'd probably organise a parade in my honour to let everyone know I found it first.

Here's a great video from Syria showing a bomb release https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X96x1q0hhK0 Videos like these actually represent a shift in the conflict. Earlier on in the conflict jets never released flares, and then as the opposition captured more air defence bases and released videos of themselves wielding MANPADS more and more videos showed jets releasing flares as they dropped their bombs.

You can just make out a projectile hitting the rear of the tank, the blast from which appears to cause the main gun to fire.

genderstomper58 posted:Ima be so mad if that vid is old news to 'Moses!!!!! I saw it last night just as I was heading to bed, I was going to look around for the original version to see if it was in HD. I started the blog as a hobby, just to write up stuff I was seeing online for future reference in internet arguments, and at first just focusing on the UK phone hacking scandal with a bit of Syria stuff. Then I discovered 100's of Youtube channels from Syria with all sorts of footage like that, and ended up reviewing each one everyday. Currently I've got about 500 channels listed. What happened then is I started to spot stuff that was overlooked in the mainstream media, probably because journalists don't have all day to go OCD over Youtube videos, but so that led to me being the first person to write about various aspects of the conflict, such as the first use of a variety of weapons, including cluster bombs, incendiary bombs, and grad cluster rockets; executions performed by the opposition, and very recently evidence of weapons being smuggled to the opposition in vast quantities. That's led to me making lots of contacts with journalists, researcher, human rights activists, etc, which has in turn led to me being interviewed and featured in a variety of media outlets (some of which are listed here), including the New York Times, NPR, France 24, CNN, Christian Science Monitor, Wired, and other titles. I've also written a couple of articles for Foreign Policy Magazine's website on the weapons used by the Syrian opposition. Currently I'm doing a bit of part time consultancy work for Human Rights Watch, gathering video evidence of cluster bomb use in Syria (around 400 videos so far), and cataloging them, as well as helping UNMAS out with their UXO education project in Syria. I've also got one (and maybe more) pieces lined up with the New York Times' At War blog, a series of interviews for ITN's new online news section where I'll be talking about the weapons used in Syria, and a few other things on the go. So in summary I accidentally became a world authority on the weapons used in the Syrian conflict.

genderstomper58 posted:Oh ok Now that you said that I think I remember you explaining it before. Are you getting paid by these folks/trying to start a career out of it? Pretty neat either way Some stuff pays, not enough to make it a full time thing, not yet anyway. Last I heard of Caro he was back in the US after failing to reach Syria from Turkey. Our last conversation involved him calling me a "CIA drone", I've not heard from him since.

Duzzy Funlop posted:If you're open to some constructive criticism, I'd suggest using less "I think", instead opting for "it seems", "I believe" or anything along the lines of "reports/videos/images/this seem(s) to be indicating", etc. to infuse your opinion with a little more air of credibility and, at the very least, confidence. In a world where a solid majority of "experts" and pundits wouldn't know an expert opinion if it came to their house and violated them, I'd say it wouldn't bee too outlandish if you sold yourself at market value. I think I'm so used to questioning everything and saying it's always impossible to be 100% certain about these sources I tend to qualify everything I say, but yes, it's maybe something I can do without now.
