Having watched videos from the Arab Spring for 5 years now the increasing use of drone footage has certainly been the most interesting recent development in the way they've been filmed. Here's a new one from Jabhat al-Nusra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7d8ejMR7ViY

Some people think it was a TOS-1A that was hit, hence the huge fireball. It has a range of 3.5km, and the ATGM has a range of 4km, so that 500m made quite a difference in this case.

Probably SPBE cluster bombs, they're devices that are dropped on parachutes which fire rockets out of them, something Russia introduced to the conflict when they started bombing https://www.hrw.org/news/2015/10/10/syria-new-russian-made-cluster-munition-reported

Drones have become increasingly widely used by Syrian rebel groups to film their activities, here we see mortars targeting pro-government forces, possibly with the drones being used to help adjust the aiming https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9TpPfEUYLc

Mr. Showtime posted:e: hold on a minute, that hosed-up bus looks familiar Very nice spot, it shows they used footage from that Fagot hit in the mortar video for whatever reason, I guess it's because it's two different groups. You can figure out quite a lot of stuff from piecing these videos together. After the Sarin attacks on August 21st 2013 in Damascus I used videos from ANNA News and rebel groups to figure out the progress of government forces in the area and the position of their checkpoints on August 21st, showing the rockets used were within range to be launched from government positions. Took ages, but it became a lot easier when I marked every mosque dome and minaret on a map with photos for each, so when I had a video with two domes or minarets in it I could review those photos and quickly figure out the position of the camera.

I've spent the last few months working on a new Atlantic Council report, Breaking Aleppo, and as part of it Forensic Architecture at Goldsmith's University put together the following video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CJ-KKLzyBU They used photographs and videos of M2 hospital, damaged in multiple bombings, to reconstruct the hospital in 3D, then map videos into the model in the exact positions where they were filmed. Long term we hope to do this with multiple locations and turn it into a VR experience.

Here's a bit of footage we used for the reconstruction of the hospital, this is the security cameras from M2 during the July 16th 2016 attack https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBfCb4OGoDI I took this and lots of other photos and footage to figure out the floor plan, and the position of the cameras. The stinker was each floor had a near identical lobby area, but I figured out the cameras were numbered in reverse order from bottom to top, which along with other information allowed me to figure out which floor they were on. After that I used things like the different shades of floor tiles to match other footage to the floors featured in the security cameras.

whats for dinner posted:Those recreations are pretty loving cool, though. I'd love to see more interesting details on how you put it all together if you feel like posting more about it. Generally with Syria it's the same process for every incident. In opposition held areas you only get a small number of social media accounts, usually associated with organisations, activists, armed groups, and media centres, so the first thing to do is find and review those for material relevant to the incident. I have these collected already, but if you didn't you can find a lot of them by finding a video or post related to the attack, copy the Arabic text, and paste it into Google Translate where you can highlight keywords you can copy back into search engines, which will lead to results including the social media pages. We'll also reach out to organisations who are sharing materials, plus activists and groups we have relationships with that are working on the ground, to see if there's any unpublished material. With M2 hospital we had lots of photographs sent to us by SAMS-USA of various attacks on the hospital, which proved very useful. Then we organise the material by date, and try to establish where it was recorded. So with M2 we had lots of images which claimed to be from inside the hospital, but the question was how we could confirm it was definitely M2, and not another hospital. I did that by finding exterior photographs we could match to satellite imagery of the area, then found video that showed movement from inside the hospital out to the exterior, where we could match it to the images we had found on satellite imagery. Here's the sheet I put together for M2 linking all the videos together. Then we review all the witness statements and other stuff said in videos, compare them to reports, and try to document the visible injuries and deaths in each video, to get the best picture possible of what happened. We'll also archive all the evidence we find to ensure it's not lost if accounts are closed, etc. I'm actually working with some international organisations to answer the question of how can we archive this material in a forensically sound way so it can be used in future prosecutions. It's actually a pretty interesting period in that regard, there's a lot of international judicial and accountability organisations who want to use this sort of material in prosecutions, but very little legal precedent for it's use in international courts, especially in war crime prosecutions, we're trying to make sure the preservation of material is done in the best way possible, and the analysis methodologies are tested thoroughly before they're used in a court, because if the first attempt is a gently caress up it'll impact the use of this sort of material in the future. In the recent past it was assumed it would be possible and preferable to get the original media used to record the images out of the countries effected, but it's become clear it's often impossible, so the use of content shared on social media has become increasingly important. Anyway, as this is the picture and video thread, here's a video of the latest chemical weapon used in Syria, an IRAM fitted with a gas cylinder filled with chlorine gas, used on Jan 30th, and likely other dates since then as well. More details here.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HXZjvHxdJE

We did a detailed piece on these recently, seems a lot of the bombs are based on 40mm grenades https://www.bellingcat.com/uncategorized/2017/02/10/death-drone-bombs-caliphate/

evil_bunnY posted:Yeah my guess would be that the controllers got overrun. Do you know how they manage the 40mm fuses? I thought they needed to detect an initial impact then a bunch of rotations to even arm. It looks like in this example they replaced the fuze, although in earlier examples they had designs that may have been intended to impart spin.

We also have Terraserver that provides more up to date imagery than Google Earth and Google Maps, for example this drone base on Jan 7th 2018 And that's $49 a month, or $299, so within the price range of a keen hobbyist, or Al Qaeda operative. The imagery is from Digital Globe, so it's the same quality you see on Google Earth, the above is marked as 30cm resolution, but it's only two weeks old.

There's a good write up on it here https://www.thedailybeast.com/strava-fitness-tracker-app-exposes-taiwans-missile-command-center Someone also noted all the reports posted by users of their routes are posted with sequentially numbered URLs, and includes details of the user, so it would be possible to scrap all those pages and possibly ID soliders at military bases. Strava all just put up a huge neon sign for hackers letting them know they have masses of data on military bases, so let's hope they have better cybersecurity than average.
