Is this what was used to hit the airbase in #Crimea?
So it seems the #USA has given #Ukraine some cutting edge systems to hit #Russia.
Notice the HIMARS #Rocket launcher , note : back plate . A Regular 6 round HIMARS unit does not use a back plate . Neither does the ATACMS .
Now this is the HIMARS configuration with the regular six rocket round or a single ATACMS . Doesn't fit the bill either .
Now see this & compare to the first image ,the PrSM with a 500km range by Lockheed Martin . The #USA hasn't officially acknowledged giving these to #Ukraine but it fits the vehicle in the video easily .
Looks like the #Russian airbase in #Crimea was hit by the PrSM .
This is cutting edge stuff unveiled by Lockheed only ten months ago . Now factor in the fact that the USAF has positioned F-35s in the Black Sea Area . Join the dots .

The oldest male genes of the R1a haplogroup some 15500yrs old are found in #Bharat, this is followed by the #Caspian region with 12300yr old samples & #Europe with 6900yr old ones .
People migrated out of the tropics carrying language with them as the world warmed & ice melted .
Linguistics & genetics both indicate a migration of tribes from #India to the west . Corroborated by historical Records of the #Saraswati drying up & causing migration .
A third indicator is the spread of technology, around 1750BC ancient #Turkey was shaken by the arrival of a people with the new for the region technology of #iron working , with Iron tools & weapons the #Hittite people quickly carved a kingdom dominating the Black sea region.
The #USA killed #India’s #nuclear physicist #HomiBhabha and Prime Minister #LalBahadurShastri—confessions of Robert Crowley, then second in command of the CIA's Directorate of Operations (in charge of covert operations) recorded in a book by Gregory Douglas.
Via @MeghBulletin
Pertinent to note here that the confession by the CIA officer indicates the #US government in 1966 wilfully murdered 117 civilians on @airindiain flight 101 just so they could kill #HomiBhabha .
An act of State sponsored #terrorism by #WashingtonDC any way you look at it .
A lot of water has flown under the bridge since then . Every nation has national imperatives that overrule previous issues. We've let this slide just as we've let the 1971 Enterprise incident go .
BJD arrangement, Mamata gets to run the state while BJP gets her tacit support for MP seats from Bengal to go to BJP. Win Win for leadership of both parties , for the common karyakartas it brings the promise of relative safety .
Secures Mamata from her Nephew's machinations.
Learnt today that #alexanderthegreat of #macedonia#Greece had an #Indian guru the Greeks called "Kalanos" some say this was because he was a devotee of Kali .This #Hindu#Brahmin & Yogi stayed with Alexander till he was 73 & died by voluntarily walking into his own pyre
Ptolemy actually built his pyre & records the death as having taken place in Susa in 323BC .Kalanos distributed all the costly gifts he got from the king to the people and wore just a garland of flowers and chanted Vedic hymns as he walked into the Pyre.
He presented his horse to one of his Greek pupils named Lysimachus. He did not flinch as he burnt to the astonishment of those who watched. Although Alexander was not personally present at time of his immolation, his last words to Alexander were "We shall meet in Babylon".
A #mustread analysis by @vgmenon99 Sir on the sinking of the #Moskva ,he uses Naval analysis to discount the possibility that the #BlackSea fleet flagship could have sunk due to #neptune missile attacks & raises the possibility of a #submarine attack.
@vgmenon99 Commodore Menon brings out the possibility of a torpedo being fired at the #Moskva , leaves us with only 4 options . 1) A #Russian Kilo fired the torpedo . 2) A #Turkish SSK was the culprit. 3) An SSK/SSN that transited the Bosporus in secret. 4) Airdropped torpedo from an MPA
@vgmenon99 On that last point there is a lot of P3C traffic in the general vicinity of the #MoskvaDown situation.
65 Arsenal - a storage base for #artillery and #rocket ammunition built in 1918 in #Balakleya to supply the #RedArmy. After the collapse of the #USSR , the arsenal was handed over to the #Ukrainian Armed Forces. The #Russian Army has taken control of the arsenal.
This is being reported as one of the largest heavy artillery storages in all of #Ukraine
#Russia posting imagery of Enormous quantity of ammunition left behind by retreating #Ukrainian forces at #Balakleya .
I had written about the prepositioning of such stores by #Ukraine much earlier .
