At this point, what difference does it make.
The Russian aircraft wings are not located near the tail as they are in the ISIS video. That video is either faked or of another incident.
“There are indeed reports of Russia moving tactical nukes to the M.E. “
Source?
Either way, Putin can’t let this lie.
And I’ll bet Obama&Co were glad the downed airplane not one of ours. ‘Cause people might demand some real action from that quarter .....
Interesting reminder for an explosion.
Co-pilot heard to remark “Oh, sh*t, that ISIS bomb over there is about to go off!”
Putin reprimands American intel officials for jumping to conclusions.
(/this is sarc....please DO NOT POST to news sites!)
That video shows a plane crashing intact, or at least the one I saw does. The plane in question came down in two major portions that ended up pretty far separated on the ground.
I don’t buy that spin. Not for a second.
ISIS was shown to have possession of SA-7 AND SA-16 MANPADS - likely from Libya after Ghadaffi was overthrown. They can hit targets at 35,000 feet and the Russian Airbus was at 31,000 when it was shot down.
Also, SA-75 Dvina Soviet MANPAD can hit targets at 82,000 feet.
2K12 Kub / SA-6 Gainful - 45k feet, another Russian design - and some accounts have those being run out of Benghazi to “Syrian rebels”.
Satellite infrared shows a flash and a separation. It shows no missile launch r flight.
Nor that fellow with a knife in Cali.
When the outside is so badly damaged that you can’t even make any connections, then you have to take the box apart and get directly to the memory modules, which are almost never damaged. The memory modules can then be read directly.
Don’t forget that there is also a third recorder that uses a ruggedized SD card. The QAR, Quick Access Recorder. if the SD card survived, it has a lot of data on it.
Nuke ‘em from outer space.
It’s the only way to be sure!
In response to the purported downing of a Russian civilian airliner in the Sinai in Egypt, the Kremlin is now poised for a nuclear strike on sites controlled by the Islamic State. Citing its right to protect its people and interests in Russia and abroad, Intelligence officials have anonymously reported that Russia is moving its tactical nuclear units closer to its international boundaries and its frontier with other hotspots within Russia, such as the northern Caucasus region. The Russian military have been called up to help evacuate Russian nationals within these hotspots and have ordered non-essential civilians to leave Syria, Iraq, the Gulf states and other nations in the Arab world."
I am of the opinion it was probably one of the many thousands of MANPADS that went missing out of Libya after Obama got Ghadaffi overthrown in his jump-start of the Global Caliphate (aka: Arab Spring). Russia has been doing what we have not in regards to laying waste to ISIS.
I think saying a bomb was planted is a lot easier for the regime to deflect responsibility than to suggest it was a SAM, because the panic-factor among the public is going to be a lot higher if it becomes known ISIS has capabilities to take out airliners from the ground.
Bottom line, regardless if a bomb or a missile, this was Jihad terrorism.
Something else Obama and his Jihadist-loving regime refuses to state.
LOl, I made a typo and didn’t even notice.
Just repeating what I read. It’ll be weeks before any ‘reliable’ information on the disaster will come out.
A post made on another thread:
Some variants have a range well over 20,000'.
Airliners can't stay in the air forever. They have to climb to cruising altitude and then descend back down.
For the sake of argument, let's allow for climb or descent rate of 2,000 FPM (Feet Per Minute), and airspeed of 250 MPH (aircraft will cover 4 miles every minute).
This allows a mobile terrorist equipped with one of these newer variants, to check with some web-based flight tracking system like maybe https://flightaware.com/, jump in his car and travel (10 minutes) to a point which intersects the aircraft's flightpath, up to 40 miles from the airport. Btw, the faster the aircraft's airspeed, the further from the airport the attack can take place.
The terrorist then exits the vehicle, acquires and brings down the airliner which would then be 10 minutes out and passing through 20,000' - a relatively slow moving non-evading target for a missile designed to strike a target traveling in excess of 800 mph in some cases.
According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIM-92_Stinger, 70,000 missiles have been produced.
Theoretically, it could mean the end of "safe" air travel anywhere in the world as we currently enjoy it.
I think I saw the pictures of the flight recorders at the Daily Mail. The story line was they were too heavily damaged and showed them all twisted up.
