Russia in Syria






It was fired at ISIS positions in the mountains in the north-east of Latakia, Syria's main port city.
The weapon – also known as the TOS-1A – is thought to be suited to mountain areas and other confined environments such as bunkers and tunnels.

Temperatures soar to a staggering 1,000 degrees Celsius at the epicentre of the explosion – burning out atmospheric oxygen and rupturing the lungs of the victims.

A report by the CIA in 1993 warned: "The effect of an FAE [fuel-air explosive] explosion within confined spaces is immense...those near the ignition point are obliterated."

One journalist who has witnessed the use of the Blazing Sun missile launcher said: "The results are devastating. Not only is the explosion significantly longer and the shockwave significantly hotter and stronger than a conventional warhead, but all the oxygen in the near vicinity is also consumed, creating a partial vacuum."
It was first used during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1988 but only made its public debut during the Second Chechen War in 1999.

Russia does not f**k around.

There is no war to end all wars.

Indeed... and I couldn't think of a better group of (intended) assholes to be on the receiving end.

Interesting that they're using weapons outlawed by the Geneva and Hague conventions.  Fuel-air along with napalm is on the blacklist along with other asphyxiating weapons.

Some crazy new footage out of Syria of a Su-34 hammering Aleppo with cluster bombs. Particularly 0:29 and onward.
