Just ran across this. Do not know how to verify: it claims to be live footage of the strike. Looks rather nasty. Comports with reviews of the attack as involving guns not just a hellfire missile, elsewhere.
My first thought is that this is not the Suleiman strike.
It appears to be a laser-designated fire mission for (probably) an AC-130. Some auto-cannon fire, a 105mm shot, some more cannon, and another howitzer shot.
I know there is interweb scuttlebutt that “Trump” used an auto-cannon to make for better visuals, but I don’t think that’s true.
The photos of the vehicles and bodies don’t jive with the effects of the cannon and 105 shots. That type of ordnance would leave virtually nothing organic.The biggest pieces near the blast area would be no bigger than a few square inches and they would be scorched. A bony limb like a hand or foot might be tossed about 30 yards from the blast, but large boned limbs or torso parts pretty much disappear.
I’ve been in the exact part of the airport where Suleiman was finished. The view in the video does not comport with the terrain and features in that area.
Kit’s verdict? NOT a video of the attack.
There is another video running around that shows the strike from the inside of BIAP (looking south-southwest), which I think is authentic. In the photos of the wreckage the wall and scenery in the background is very familiar to me.
Thanks, yes graphic, but when evil is killed it is different, I guess not the emotional factor involved.
