These aren’t Turkish munitions. They’re neither artillery, missiles, nor aerial bombs.
I have no idea what kind of weapon is being used.Watch the munitions coming down.I was able to isolate only one munition, and it’s drifting, not falling.
Not artillery, a missile, or an aerial bomb.
VERY small and VERY powerful.No collateral damage.
The men only a few feet away from the tank are unharmed.Look at the body of the truck. You’ll see two bright spots appear, one after the other.
It’s some form of targeting system.
If it’s laser, it’s completely different from all known laser “designators,” as they called.A laser-guided munition has to “ride” a beam to the target.
This munition is apparently given coordinates that are determined by brief flashes of white laser, which is visible.
White laser was first revealed in 2015. I have a piece of video that shows white laser being used to target the Islamic State.
The beam lasted for only one frame.
Look at the lower right of the screen, in the grass.Several of the targets in the Turkish video are hit with dots of white light before the munition hits.
Look at the road wheels of the self-propelled artillery piece. You’ll see two white flashes.All I can tell you is that these aren’t Turkish munitions.
Did someone give them to the Turks?
Is someone using them on behalf of the Turks?
No idea.
But what we’re seeing is not what it seems.
My guess is that Turkey opening its borders to allow refugees to pass through is strategic distraction.
I was able to isolate another munition in this video.Here it is.
It’s a new weapon.The narrative is that Assad is plowing ahead regardless of the consequences, so Turkey has finally taken matters into its own hands and launched a self-defense operation.
That’s the only thing we know is definitely NOT true.
As al-Jazeera notes, the situation is totally confusin The confusion is by design.
What’s happening is that all parties are extracting themselves from what appeared to be endless war.
It seems strange to say that a new invasion is a form of extraction, but it allows everyone to stop where they are.
The only people still trying to cause endless war are the Iranian mullahs.
My guess is that all the targets we saw hit are Iranian and Iranian lackeys.
Assad’s people appear to be avoiding conflict.
The intensity of these air strikes and the fact that these are unknown weapons would indicate that this is intended to stop the Iranian mullahs.
Whatever is happening, DON’T TAKE IT AT FACE VALUE.
Just watch and wait, without drawing any conclusions.
The main weapons of the Third Revolution in Military Affairs (3RMA) are deception and confusion.
And media narratives are always wrong.

ADDENDUM: I should’ve pointed out the bright flashes on the truck.
One flash.Another flash.
There were four separate flashes altogether.ADDENDUM TWO:
See? I was right. The refugee “crisis” is not what social media is reporting.
Greece is not letting refugees in. This is Turkey forcing Europe to live up to its end of the bargain made in 2016.The refugees can’t get into Europe.
Like Trump, Erdogan is forcing Europe to make good on its promises.
My guess is that the Turkish military operation is the total destruction of the Iranian mullahs’ remaining offensive capabilities in Syria.
That explains the new weapons.
Turkey is not stopping. The Syrian and Iranian forces are paralyzed without Russian air cover. Lots of myths and bad takes are being destroyed in northwestern Syria pic.twitter.com/pAPD1vQ3Vt— Hassan Hassan (@hxhassan) March 1, 2020
It would be wonderful if almost all the countries in the Middle East were so sick of war that they stopped fighting each other, instead they all attack Iran so much that Iran’s evil leaders are overthrown. Anything is possible with Trump in the White House and God looking over us.
