Re footage of one attack. Heard about it. One survivor said that he tried to take photos but was unable. However, he or another person described the attacking plane (or planes) one of the Sukhoi 20’s class.
Now, IF TRUE, the rebels have no airplanes, esp. Russian craft. Assad does. So this is one key item to look for re who attacked IN WHAT delivery system.
Nobody in their right mind believes that Saddam Hussein or the Assads every got rid of ALL THEIR CHEMICAL WEAPONS. The Israelis keep destroying them in Syria.
Nobody knows what the Russian convoy of trucks took out of the large ammo depot right before the US attacked in March, 2003. My son’s unit however found new, green Soviet Bloc CBW suits in Republican Guard ammo bunkers, early April 2003. I’ll leave it at that but other poison chemicals such as cyanide were also found and stories with photos appeared in some papers.
Question to keep in mind: If it wasn’t Syrian planes who dropped the chemical bombs (assuming they were dropped from airplanes), then who is the only other player in Syria to have Russian Sukhoi’s? I’ll let you fill in the blanks.
One alternative possibility is that a wing of the anti-Assad jihadist movement, or a militia arm of Assad, used artillery to shot chemical shells at the civilians.
However, that would leave important shell fragments all over the place. The same for bombs or canister bombs.
We just need to wait a little until a reliable source exams the weapons used, any photos/film taken, and eyewitness statements. Then we can begin to draw conclusions.
Speculation is fine but I wouldn’t bet the house on it.
I heard that report. Now the official story is it was helicopters dropping barrels. Just one reason the story stinks. If I was to guess they staged it in the wake of an ordinary bombing run by a Suhkoi.
