There is a lot of disinformation around these, what might be called pre-used sites where the original purpose continues as the description of its current function. A classic example being the 'bakery' hit a couple of days ago, disused for a while and previously hit, it was for some the RuAF bombing of a civilian infrastructure target.whir wrote:Wheat, well more precisely flour, once suspended into the air is not only highly flammable but also very explosive. Dust explosions at silos are relatively common even nowadays with varying degrees of devastation depending on their size.KiloGolf wrote:Because there is no grain left for years, Daesh is stocking oil in and around the silos, like they do with big trucks moving barrels around. That particular site has been bombed before, but not the silos but improvised fuel tanks in its perimeter. The after-explosions with fireball confirm it.sweartome123 wrote:What is this crap? Those are not 'oil refineries.' The targets in the first and third videos are grain silos and the target in the second video is a water treatment facility. Has the MoD gone full retard? Even if these facilities were being used by the enemy (hiding weapons, supplies, etc.), they are clearly not oil refineries. Why even lie when the lie is so obvious?
Of these sites we have no idea what their current use is. The grain store is definitely a possible new use site but the waterworks seem more questionable. One thing is certain, given their limited capacity for bombing targets and a large number of potential targets, it is likely that the RuAF is trying very hard not to waste sorties. Also it would be a major fail for the MoD to put up as evidence a questionable site, even PI career threatening perhaps.
