About the Suleiman strike. One more thing.
Did anyone notice that there was no crater?
FOUR missiles went into that convoy. The vehicles were pretty much turned inside out. The occupants were either vaporized or tossed 30-50 feet in vaguely torso chunks.
The after pictures show flat concrete and asphalt being hosed down. No craters.
I’ve seen the results of both Tomahawks and Hawkeyes on people, buildings, and vehicles carrying people.
The effects of this strike are unlike anything I’ve seen before.
That is very weird!!!
I thought maybe Wictor would have a clue:

I have NO IDEA what kind of munition did this.
But it’s clear that the most destructive munition possible was used. There’s fragmentation damage everywhere, and the car was turned inside out.
This was done for the photos. Trump wanted the world to see that when necessary, he shreds people into tiny pieces.

WARNING - I HAVE NOT LOOKED AT THE YOU TUBE—I ASSUMED IT WOULD BE GORY
OSWEDA THREAD ON SULKYMANIAC TAKEDOWN-INCLUDES DIAGHRAM-I HAVE NO IDEA IF ANY OF THIS MAKES SENSE:
I’ve been studying these munitions since 2015.
As you can imagine, there’s no literature on them, so you have to search patents.
These were designed for urban warfare, so they have to have three characteristics:
One: control of the intensity of the blast.
Two: the ability to DIRECT the blast effect.
Three: the ability to make them pure blast weapons OR blast-and-fragmentation weapons.
You control the intensity of the by using dual warheads.
A fuel-air explosive consists of a vapor and a catalyst.
By using a duel warhead, you can determine how much catalyst goes into the vapor. This controls the intensity of the explosion.
This is a patent for a dual or binary warhead.
The catalyst is in the inner chamber (top drawing), and the explosive compound is in the outer chamber (bottom drawing).
We already have airburst munitions, but they rely 100 percent on fragmentation.
Directed-blast munitions are “precision obliteration.”
They’re weapons for urban combat in that they create zero collateral damage.

Apparently, former PBS newser Tavis Smiley thinks he was Slick Willie.
Ironically, his defense team entered a 500 page investigation report detailing his debauchery as evidence that he is innocent. They argue that accusations of sexual harassment, sexual assault, rape, etc. pre-dated his current contract.
I’m not a lawyer, so I can’t get my head around this defense. Suffice it to say that government-funded PBS knew what a dick he was for around 14 years and had no problem with it. When it became public, PBS fired him and is trying to recover almost $2 million in our money that they paid him. He wants some more millions of our money because PBS fired him and is racist to fire him just because he raped some employees.
You can read more here and try and make sense of it.
Wictor thinks fuel air explosives with a shrapnel cone fitted.
Have you read Carlos Oswedo about this? He is a mil researcher esp in middle east affairs - persons, weaponry, uniforms, etcetc.
One about the Suleiman strike, they all have photos so not copying (plus it’s 7:30 AM here)

Compare the aftermath of this BLEVE (boiling liquid, expanding vapor explosion) with the aftermath at BIAP.
BLEVE Demo. Start at about the 1:20 mark.
