Why did the delta-20m/s impact leave a deformation comparable to the real cylinder, while the delta-30m/s impact into the roof caused no additional deformation?

And does this not contradict the purpose of the report? Or is it an obfuscatory intention?

If this was not a chlorine cylinder too, how can anyone claim that the crater on the balcony is inconsistent with a grenade or mortar impact?

My explanation: The crater is old. Anyone?

👇This is Ghouta according to the UNSC report and HRW pinpointed the launch spot immediately, right? ImageImage

The range was wrong and the "precisely ... bearing of 285°" was wrong too! The bearing was 136 +/- 2° and the range 2 - 2.5km. We can discuss every single impact but here is where the lines converge.

It is equally important to ask how a series of glaring errors could point to a barracks, of all places. HRW, any comment?

@PiersRobinson1, I think you are wasting a lot of energy on a really stupid person. He decorates his account with the Douma4 and has no idea who kidnapped them. ImageImage
He maintains a cozy relationship with Scott Lucas, who in turn has a relationship with the Douma4 kidnappers, under the guise of a Salafist "think tank," of course. ImageImageImageImage
And so we find both united in cynical remarks about the Red Crescent that helped at Rukban Camp: twitter.com/search?lang=en… Image

Bellingcat cannot resist pushing one selective half-truth after another into their propaganda tube. This time it is a suddenly "leaked" letter from Arias (OPCW) that says absolutely nothing new except...
bellingcat.com/news/mena/2020…
It shows a very questionable and lax attitude of Arias to conclude from the presence of chlorine to the use of a weapon.
The chemistry / idea behind this letter has been known since Bellingcat's "No one bleaches a chandelier! article. And we have already chewed this through and through. But let us summarize it again.

Today 6 years ago the tragedy of #MH17 happened. Only minutes later, Russia was declared guilty. Since then, a battle of information has raged with little "evidence". One of the most convincing evidence is this photo, isn't it?
Based on this photo, the alleged launch site of a BUK missile was quickly found. First it was a burnt piece of grass at the western edge of the field, later Bellingcat moved its launch site to the tree, because the BUK tracks were supposedly visible there.
To consider the tracks as "BUK tracks" is questionable. They are located opposite a passageway to the neighbouring field and became first visible when the harvest had started on this neighbouring field. In 2015 the tracks disappeared, 2016 similar tracks were visible again.

@OPCW A look back how we got here:
Saraquib 4/29/2013: One of the first Sarin attacks allegedly by the SyAAF was carried out with plastic grenades, which were seen only days before in the hands of Al-Nusra in a Turkish-Syrian border town, where these fighters were trained + equipped.
@OPCW The filmed symptoms did not look like sarin, and an initial autopsy of the only fatality initially yielded nothing, although the Turkish laboratories searched specifically for sarin. Only a second autopsy revealed traces of sarin and the explanation was questionable.
@OPCW The only 'conclusive' evidence finally came from the French secret service, which received a (after 3000m fall) undamaged grenade from Al-Nusra. Unfortunately the x-ray shows that the fuse mechanism of this allegedly sarin-filled grenade was replaced.
