But, truthfully you have to admit Russia repeat bombing it’s own city IS noteworthy!
You post non-stop propaganda crap. All of it is as easy to shoot down as balloons in the wind. Yes that is perspective from some one that researches this stupidity from all angles, because we really need WW3 over the Bidens corrupt casino and over a country that didn’t exist less than 100 years ago. Don’t worry, the way things are going in the region as a whole. Eukraine won’t exist in 5 years. It will be reverted to the country’s of origin that it came from, Poland is already making noise. Am pretty sure the other countries in question are making their plans. Bye bye Eukraine. Putin was right in saying that Stalin screwed that up. Funny, the man is honest.
Tomorrow , easy peazee.
Hmmm, maybe don’t drink & drive :)

In Russia, an S-400 surface-to-air missile system overturned on the M2-Crimea highway near Tula, around the village of Prudnoye.
Source: Russian telegram channels Mash, Shot
Details: It is reported that an air defence system worth about 13 billion Russian roubles [approximately US$159.45 million -ed.] fell into a ditch.
The road to the entrance and exit of the city has been blocked. But the air defence system is still there.
The anti-aircraft missile system was initially travelling in a column of eight cars, but on the way, it fell behind.
A 33-year-old driver was diagnosed with a broken arm but was not seriously injured. The ammunition was not activated, and there is no threat of an explosion.

Oh ya, not playing or believing that I am any sort of god. Just asked some simple questions based on obvious public behavior.
Good night.
It is better just admit you made a honest, simple mistake.
Totally understandable, almost unbelievable, to realize Russia a repeated the bombing of the same Russian city.
When this happens by most written & broadcast media they just post a simple retraction

“A Russian fighter jet was forced to make “an emergency drop of aviation munition” over a Russian city Thursday, causing a large explosion in a central neighborhood, according to a state news agency and local officials.
A Russian Air Force Su-34 jet was flying over the border city of Belgorod, just north of Ukraine, when it was forced to drop the explosives for reasons that are still under investigation, according to Russian news agency RIA Novosti, which cited the Russian defense ministry.
Officials have not immediately reported any casualties, Belgorod Gov. Vyacheslav Gladkov said in a Telegram post.
The explosion rocked an intersection in the city’s center and left a “huge impact crater” that was 20 meters (about 65 feet) wide, Gladkov said.
“Windows in a nearby apartment building were damaged, as well as several parked cars. Electricity poles were downed,” he added.
An overturned car landed on the roof of a store near a residential high-rise building, according to RIA Novosti. Emergency teams are at the scene, the outlet said.
Belgorod is located about 40 kilometers (roughly 25 miles) north of the border with Ukraine.
“over a country that didn’t exist less than 100 years ago”
BS! Ukraine has “existed” longer than russia
do some research
What is an “Aviation Bomb”?
No one minds your simple question. But, it is more important not to create snarky, false comments regarding other Freepers. Sujch comments just NOT as easy to own up to or retract, e.g.
Comment #11 “No they didn’t, Eukraine did this a week ago with little to no damage. More complete BS”
Comment #14 “Just for you I’ll go back and find it. Who pays you for your trolling or perchance is it a mental disorder?”
Comment #18 “That was hard, thought it was further back...That’s the low hanging fruit, there is also hard analysis on the subject as well.
Comment #22 “You post non-stop propaganda crap. All of it is as easy to shoot down as balloons in the wind. Yes that is perspective from some one that researches this stupidity from all angles”
Comment #23 “Tomorrow , easy peazee.”
Thank you for you response.
He is just upset because he had made a simple error & then compounded his mistake with his trashing comments. He is probably simply embarrassed enough already.. or maybe should be.
This may give a more complete explanation:
“Aerial bombs include a vast range and complexity of designs. These include unguided gravity bombs, guided bombs, bombs hand-tossed from a vehicle, bombs needing a large specially-built delivery-vehicle, bombs integrated with the vehicle itself (such as a glide bomb), instant-detonation bombs, or delay-action bombs.
As with other types of explosive weapons, aerial bombs aim to kill and injure people or to destroy materiel through the projection of one or more of blast, fragmentation, radiation or fire outwards from the point of detonation.”

“First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska, together with Minister of Health Viktor Liashko visited Bila Tserkva City Hospital number 2, where the Principles of ICF Application” course was presented for multidisciplinary medical teams.
It is expected that the introduction of the ICF will make it possible to take into account the medical, psychological and social needs of a person who seeks to recover and be independent after severe injuries and diseases.”
At first, the commentator said he thought the explosion could be from a drone, or military artillery or A bomb. I think he used the term “the bomb” instead of “a bomb”...just the way he speaks English probably. Later, he reads that the Russians admit that a bomb did separate accidently from a military aircraft and fell on the city.
Using the term”bombed” would sometimes imply intent.
This military activity just seems like a slow motion harassment in comparison to WW2. Either way, I don’t trust these informants to really know what is really going on.
Correction: using the term “dropped” sounds purposeful. I miswrote when I used the term “bombed”
“I think he used the term “the bomb” instead of “a bomb”...just the way he speaks English probably”
Yes, these articles/videos do go thru translation. Also, I believe, unlike English, Ukrainian grammar does not they do not have articles like ‘a’ & ‘an’.
I wonder if anyone with more knowledge of military aviation could comment on the likelihood that a bomb could “accidentally separate” from an aircraft and then if that happened what are the chances it would land in the centre of a city?
Sounds like a tall tale to me, but I am no expert on these things.
Thank you; I already knew what an Aerial bomb is. I just wondered what an “Aviation Bomb” is.
The paid troll emerges.
Funny how your life revolves around Ukraine, but I don’t see your name in threads concerning the US. That says it all.
You aren’t an American, nor do you give a damn about the US. Your entire existence revolves around Ukraine.

“I am a Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the four hundred and twenty first day of the war.
Day 421: April 20
The freshest reports suggest that due to the intense artillery and aviation strikes, the northern part of the region became a grey zone. A Ukrainian fighter that took part in the recent Ukrainian counterattack reported that Ukrainians stepped back from 1 of the previously liberated streets to be able to hold defense from more reliable positions. Looking at the geolocated footage, this is hardly surprising, as the buildings next to Rose Alley have been completely demolished.
Ukrainians also finally stepped back from the train station as the ring around it became too tight. A Ukrainian fighter from the Aidar Battalion explained the situation and elaborated on the reasons for the retreat. As you remember, Ukrainians withdrew from the blocks north of the station quite rapidly and seemingly prematurely. But this move allowed Ukrainians to entice Russians to start storming the train station from the north while Ukrainians held defense in the high-rise buildings around it. After 10 consecutive days of unsuccessful assaults, Russians realized that the shortest way was not the fastest and started attacking from the south. This was when the situation became very inconvenient for Ukrainians as there are no powerful positions on the southern line to hold off Russian flank attacks. In fact, this part of the residential area was reduced to rubble. Ukrainian artillery crews from the 93rd Mechanized Brigade were eliminating Russian forces concentrations here, but some units still managed to cause trouble for some time. When Russians reached hotel Tranzyt from the south, the bridgehead became too small and counterproductive to hold, and Ukrainians stepped back.
Recent geolocated footage showed that Ukrainian artillery is already targeting Russian forces near the hotel and preventing them from using the intact houses. As usual, Ukrainians know which buildings are still suitable for establishing positions or local ammunition depots, so when they retreat, they closely monitor these positions, and once Russians assume them, they either blow up the building or hit it with artillery.
Ukrainian artillery is also reducing Russian forces in the northern part of the region. In a bid to match the intensity of Russian artillery fire in this area, Ukrainians shelled Russian positons so heavily that Russians also could no longer maintain a permanent presence in this region. Recent geolocated footage showed Russian positions around what was left from the grain elevators, confirming that there is not much place to hide for long. That is why the situation became very dynamic here, and one hour clashes happen in ruins to the north, and another hour in ruins closer to the center.
Russian sources also complain that Ukrainians are actively using western artillery, and especially HIMARS. Today’s footage from the Bakhmut direction indeed confirms that Ukrainians are increasingly targeting Russian concentrations of manpower and equipment, and not only those located in Bakhmut but also Soledar, Klynove, and Pokrovske. The reason why Russians are apprehensive about western artillery is that it is usually stationed out of reach of their artillery, which does not allow them to conduct counterbattery fire.
For the most part, Russians are using kamikaze drones in order to take out Ukrainian longer-range artillery. Russians sources published a number of videos showing how their Lancets destroyed M777 and other artillery systems. However, this tactic very quickly became inefficient because Ukrainians learned how to catch these drones. In order to prevent unpleasant surprises, Ukrainians started establishing nets on top of the artillery systems. Some Ukrainians even established nets on the machines themselves as a second layer of armor because it takes time to set up nets on a new position, making the artillery vulnerable during the position changes. Russians tried to adapt and started using highly skilled drone operators for counterbattery missions, who could attack artillery by using a more sophisticated trajectory, however, Ukrainians adapted to that as well and started creating all-round mobile cages.”
