Looks like a pair of bombs making their day.

It's actually "hierba mate" and must be from Argentina. Extremely healthy stuff.
Oops! Also spelled "yerba mate", just looked up in the Spanish dictionary.

My Sarcasm Fu isn't as good as it was supposed to be. Went on Wiki to check, well it actually helps prevent cancer...in French but causes it in English...

Look at the guy that reposts it here. Honestly, do you post these here hoping someone takes the time out of their schedules to refute that garbage and make you feel better?

Talking about K/D ratio...in conflicts with downgraded Soviet equipment in use. I am sure it had nothing to do with an extensive ISR capability and downgraded Soviet equipment in usage in those conflicts.

Sad to think people actually read this low level garbage, propagated by those behind the scenes working to discredit anything linked to Russia.


I wonder if you are associated with them.

Good God that was a tough read, not even counting the grammatical errors.

"There’s already been one alarming incident: According to AFP, announced on October 14th that one of its planes had approached a US aircraft over Syria “for identification purposes,” with one Russian official explaining that Russian aircraft “often come within visual recognition distance of US warplanes and drones.”

So what would happen if Russian and US aircraft began shooting at one another over Syria?

I think the obvious question this tool should be asking is; Why the hell are there US aircraft over Syria in the first place?

That cheap propaganda is a reminder that we're on the side of truth.

Wow, just wow.

Why on earth are you going on the attack when other posters routinely provide links to shameless Western propaganda in order to open it up for discussion and critique? Do I do this gratuitously? Do I have a history of maligning Russia's military capabilities? How on earth am I 'associated' with them? Am I a Western cheerleader, a flunkey, an apologist? Do I have posts in line with your accusations? No? Then please don't bite my head off. Your post is a mix of needless hostility and paranoia. I admit that I direct a lot of questions to intelligent and knowledgeable posters like Werewolf and Garry B, and should they inform me that they find this annoying in the slightest, I will stop, immediately.

Apparently somewhere i read thermobaric weapons like TOS-1.. and later interpret it..

That the Themobaric Missiles if propertly used in the right numbers not only will kill by the explosion but any terrorist hiding underground could be killed too.. even if not hit by the
explosion directly..because the the vacuum bombs create a void of oxygen for some time..and people will have no oxygen and could die too of Suffocation and Asphyxia. Also the shockwave of the bomb and air pressure? apparently can kill people even if u are inside a tank and close to the explosion.

It has less to do with asphyxiation from a lack of oxygen, and more with your lungs being turned inside out.

Reduced oxygen is one way they kill, but the pressure and heat is the primary way.

To get the targets lungs to turn inside out you would have to create a vacuum... FAEs don't do that... they just burn off the O2 content in the air.

There are too many veiled interests wrt yerba mate, esp coming from competitor soft drinks such as Coca-Cola and others. For reference on its healthy properties,

For decades there was myth how tea served in Yugoslavian/Serbian army was affecting soldiers capability to have kids/sexyal potency Mostly spead by older soldiers to newbies haha Tho there truly was some kind of shot they would give you when you join army that would literally boost your immune system, to prevent you from being sick. Normally if i spent 36h wet outside trying to set some antennas id tomorrow die from pneumonia, in army..noone would even sneeze.

They do create vacuum, but its more of a rarefaction rather than real vacuum, like people like to claim. Its low relative pressure following a blast.

"A Human Rights Watch report of 1 February 2000. quotes a study made by the US Defense Intelligence Agency:

The [blast] kill mechanism against living targets is unique–and unpleasant.... What kills is the pressure wave, and more importantly, the subsequent rarefaction [vacuum], which ruptures the lungs.... If the fuel deflagrates but does not detonate, victims will be severely burned and will probably also inhale the burning fuel. Since the most common FAE fuels, ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, are highly toxic, undetonated FAE should prove as lethal to personnel caught within the cloud as most chemical agents.

The effect of an FAE explosion within confined spaces is immense. Those near the ignition point are obliterated. Those at the fringe are likely to suffer many internal, and thus invisible injuries, including burst eardrums and crushed inner ear organs, severe concussions, ruptured lungs and internal organs, and possibly blindness." Another Defense Intelligence Agency document speculates that because the "shock and pressure waves cause minimal damage to brain tissue…it is possible that victims of FAEs are not rendered unconscious by the blast, but instead suffer for several seconds or minutes while they suffocate."

So you are both kinda right in their own way.

No, this is their new way of communicating now that the Russian EW has shut down their C&C operations and comms networks. Bit like smoke signals. I noticed that the message on the card under the 'balloons' said "send more TOWs"
