Unprecedented thermobaric explosion in the Cherkasy region of Ukraine.

[rdl6989]

Much better.

[UNGN]

Looked like a fetilizer factory or an Ammo dump.

[Robert DeLong]

It looks like this may actually be:

an ammunition depot that exploded in Ukraine 4 years ago.

[Meet the New Boss]

The Governor of Kharkiv said today a defeated Russian unit left one of those behind when Putin’s forces were repelled

I just though I was dumb. 😳

[Robert DeLong]

From what I am reading they involve 2 explosions. The first explosion releases gas clouds, and then a second explosion occurs which ignites the gases, as seen in this video (advance video until the the 7:52 mark):

So, if I am correct it would have to explode pretty close to the ground to disperse the gases over a considerable amount of area to do significant damage. But I know not how they truly work, just for doing a quick research.

[Beowulf9]

I looked up Cherkasy. It’s a city. Was this big enough to destroy it ?

[Beowulf9]

Oh.

[Boogieman]

The burning gases don’t do the majority of the damage. The shockwave created by the rapid expansion of the gases as they ignite causes the real damage.

Now there is a voice that has no credibility. Little Rubio is interested in making himself seem important. That is all he is.

Wait, what? Didn’t we use a MOAB in Afghanistan? Nangarhar, is that right? Do we want our military to be tried for the same crimes? You’d think our “leaders” would give some thought into their statements before issuing them, lest they be used against us.

Oh, wait, that was under Trump. So this gets him out of the way for 2024. GOP can then run Jeb! or Krispy Kreme.

[Vermont Lt]

It’s not the “explosives” that cause the damage. The pressure under the explosion exerts very high pressure downward. That causes physical damage to buildings and what not. Then, as the pressure recedes it causes a vacuum to form—and that sucks the atmosphere up into the fireball. It could suck your lungs dry.

Look up MOAB Or Daisy Cutters.

These things are BIG.

I saw this on Facebook this morning. Ukraine explosion Here is the mobile link https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1179157679560122&id=100023977034509&sfnsn=mo

[miliantnutcase]

I screwed up the hyperlink, just copy and paste the mobile link in my above post.

[coloradan]

This does not look like a thermobaric explosion.

[rbmillerjr]

Putin has no clue what he is doing.

Ukraine fighting with shoulder fired tank and helo killers and keeping Russians at bay.

And then there is this...the Ukraine people hate Russians.

You can come in...but you can’t get out. If Russia takes Ukraine, the occupation will be 100 times worse and any puppets will be hanged.

[know.your.why]

It could suck your lungs dry.

I remember when the fuel-air bombs were used in the Tora Bora caves in Afghanistan and reports of enemy bodies inside with lungs squeezed outside their mouths and eyeballs pushed clear of their sockets.

UPD: The head of the #Cherkasy Regional State Administration Alexander Skichko denied this information.

Yep poor man’s nuke or the MOAB needed for mass destruction and casualties w/o radiation. One of the few munitions that scared me because of the effects on the human body.
