Stunning Footage Captures Ukraine Artillery Shell Mid-Flight Moments Before Impact
One year ago, the Ukraine civil war was the most discussed topic (especially in the aftermath of the downing of flight MH-17) among both market watchers and politicians (where the tit-for-tat escalation in European sanctions pressured the German economy so much the Bundesbank had no choice but to finally relent to Draghi's demands for European QE which in turn determined the outcome of the Third Greek bailout by crushing any Greek "market-moving" leverage).
Now, few remember that in the breakaway republic of Donetsk in east Ukraine there is still a war being waged: this conflict which has claimed thousands of innocent lives has already served its political purpose and has been swept far away from the front pages of western media.
Unfortunately for millions of people living in east Ukraine nothing has been resolved and every new day continues to be one filled with dread and fear just where death may come from next.
Nowhere is this seen better than in the following dramatic video clip released moments ago which captured a Ukraine artillery shell flying mid-air through a Donetsk residential region, just an instant before it strikes its target.
The dramatic moment can be seen 1 minute 37 seconds into the clip below.

Did someone catch it with their teeth?
(Bullet... catch with teeth... never mind.)
Payed for by your US/EU tax dollars/euros!
imagine how MAF TBTB is that Russia keeps taking this and not responding.
Your USSA taxpayer dollars at work: Urban renewal Necon/Neoliberal style.
Most of the world does not hate us for our freedoms. They hate us for our foreign policy.
So you have it on good authority, linkable source of course, that this is a USA artillary shell?
Would it matter to you if it was a Ukrainian shell, paid for by the USSA? It certainly wouldn't matter to the people injured and killed by the Ukrainian/USSA shell.
Or are you going to tell us that the Novorossiyan army is blowing up their own homes to blame Kiev USSA puppet regime?
What does it feel like to lob shells into apartment complexs? Such brave men.
This video is proof of what exactly?
Maybe they hate cans?

Perfect asinine response. Dismissed.
When you know nothing about the subject, and have nothing to say, attack the person.
I suggest you go back to Yahoo and hang out with the rest of the knuckle dragging mouth breathers.
"Or are you going to tell us that the Novorossiyan army is blowing up their own homes to blame Kiev USSA puppet regime?"
Funny you should say that. The Ukrainians have already claimed that.
From Radio Svoboda (aka Radio Liberty, the Ukrainian clone of the CIA outlet Radio Free Europe)
“The ATO spokesmen [Major General Taran and Colonel Sergei Galushko] have presented proof that Donetsk is being shelled by the rebels themselves, in order to provoke return fire from the UAF forces, and then blame them for shelling Donetsk.”

In other words, the militia in Donetsk are shelling their own families in order to provoke the Ukrainians into doing the same. Fiendish, very fiendish.
Or are you going to tell us that the Novorossiyan army is blowing up their own homes to blame Kiev USSA puppet regime?
here is your answer
Radio Liberty: "UAF are shelling Donetsk in response to rebels shelling Donetsk"
http://fortruss.blogspot.ru/2015/07/radio-liberty-uaf-are-shelling-donet...
So you have it on good authority, linkable source of course, that this is a not a USA funded artillary shell?
FIFY
rofl "bunghole" a stupid video linked at zh that claims a moratr shell is caught on video means that the mortar shell is: 1. real, 2. USA's, 3. verifiable.
You lunatics are hilarious.
The Ukraine is a US protectorate. The Government was installed by the US (Yatsenyuk is our man). It is financial supported by the US financial weapon, the IMF. US troops are there training the Nazis in the west. Finance minister was a US citizen. Jow Biden and his osns were hopingt to loot the shale reserves in the east (hence the ethnic cleansing), etc, etc. The shell may have been made in the USSR or Ukraine but it is furthering US aims, hence the term 'US'.
-23 asking for a source. Perfect reason I never tell anyone about this website and it's lunatic followers.
Almost certain its not a US shell, also, with that flat trajectory it could well be a tank shell fired from 7-9km away, tanks seem to be a favourite weapon atm. Could even have been an ATGW like a TOW. May have ended up going straight through several apartments, depending on fusing.
Random economic damage by the Kiev regime. This kind of event happens many times a day on a 50km front. Very sad that the West can't be bothered to force the Kiev government to stop this. They have the power, money and military supply and support.
Incidently, there is a $120M interest payment due in 3 days (mainly to private US bankster parasites, sorry investors) so a chance of default.
...and you're here only for the financials.
Mmmmmmkay.
Say hi to Vicky and the rest of the neocons at State for me.
Fuck the terrorists who took over this country and everyone supporting them.
The Ukraine...LOL the dumbfucks= - I still get a kick out of seeing Obama sucking Ukrainian cock when clearly they are not into the nigger, the jew, the Russian, faggots, dykes, etc. Shows what the USSA-transnational elite really think of the office of President.
Prediction: thus begins your half-life on ZH. 12 weeks down, 6 weeks till Sept 4, 3 weeks till Sept 25, 10 days till Oct 5, 5 days till Oct 10, then Oct 12, Oct 13 . . . and poof! . . . your gone. Au revoir!
GO BACK TO CHRUCH, MORON!!!!!
Why are you attacking the church?
If there was any anatomical way possible to shove that artillery shell up your ass, I could care less who manufactured it.
Eat my shorts
-Bart
And you are an original thinker as well...how special for you. Did you also ride the short bus in your youth?
"Most of the world does not hate us for our freedoms. They hate us for our foreign policy."
Exactly.
And you know, it doesn't even become a question of "hate". These people the world over want to understand *why* are they constantly picked on, and bullied.
IF only they knew that the "us" isn't reflected by the masses, the people who conduct this evil foreign policy are nothing more than parasitic zio-cons feasting on their host nations (UK, US et al), whilst they use the masses to deliver mass-murder on the rest of the world.
So long as the citizenry doesn't rise up and hang the parasites on the steps of Congress and the White House they are complicit in whatever evils said parasites carry out in their name.
"Most of the world does not hate us for our freedoms. They hate us for our foreign policy."
As some wag wrote here yesterday, it is our politicians (Democrats and Republicans) who hate us for our freedoms. The rest of the world hates us for our Democrats and Republicans.
In some ways, probably not entirely dissimilar to other parts of the world. For instance, Iran. Like many, I think the current leadership of Iran, well, let me put it this way: I wouldn't want to live there. But having said that, I bet that I'd get along just fine with about 90 or 95 percent of your basic, average, normal Persian.
with greetings of the Synagogue!
http://www.synagoguerising.com/
..then please explain the existence of the person taking the video.
A few options come to mind:
a) the person taking the video is a Russian ( but how did he know...)
b) the person taking the video is a Ukrainian ( pretty stupid to post this video... esp. since all of us clearly saw the "Made in the U.S.A" imprint on the projectile flying by at the 1:37 mark)
c) you have been "played" by Russian trolls again (and for some time).
War criminals shelling cities, nothing different from ISIS, paid for by the USA and NATO and EU
That is a remarkably shallow trajectory for an artillery shell...
how do you get a clear shot of a shell with 24 fps camera?
I only saw a bird fly by...and there was no impact.......but its probably a bad time to be building a new highrise apartment building as seen in the movie....
Speaking of Zionists Neo-Cons...
Bang on que!
The "shell" passes by, there is an immediate explosion, a few seconds pass and an alarm is heard and a siren....and no smoke plum?? C´mon.
Here is what a real artillery strike looks like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QF3s_uJfHo4
Is that the missing footage from the Pentagon attack?
The building looked like it was angled he couldnt get a view back as the shell went between buildings. Plus that shell moved pretty fast could of gone a ways. Id say the sound is same as your video.
If the "shell" would have travelled farther, then the explosion would have been delayed...and not immediate as shown in the video. The science right there screams FAKE! Not only that, the dude refuses to pan his camara to the right from where the "explosion" came from! Nope, just stay focused on the apartment blocks almost straight ahead and don´t scan for any smoke or fire or injured civilians or whatever...especially with car alarms and sirens going off. Then, after an eternity of waiting, the video is interrupted (why?) and then FINALLY breaks right...and nothing! This worthless propaganda video has been produced to influence sheep. Unfortunatley, most will believe this crap.
all bullshit... all the time.
And a tracer too. And no large explosion, just a pop. Looks more like a stray tank or other high velocity cannon projectile. Perhaps an armor piercing projectile or a small caliber explosive projectile (to explain the lack of large explosion)?
"Did someone catch it with their teeth?"
The only two mouths large enough are Michael (aka Moochele Obozo) and Hitllery.
Nothing to be seen.
Not at 1:37 minutes, nor anywhere else.
Uh!...Yes it is there...1:37 is where you are told to start...It can be frozen midscreen if you step through the video into 1:39...It can also be then frozen as it crosses in front of the reddish building.
i think Hans was being metaphorical
Talk about coming in HOT!
Building the next homeland for the khazars.
Wasn't Ukraine part of their ancestral homeland?
Ukraine, northern Georgia, small parts of southern Russia, yeah..
Why? They are pretty happy with the one they got already, Israel.
It isn't big enough....
Plus the world has awoken to the scams of the "chosen people" and they need to retreat to the sewers they stem from.
Firstly, they aren't the "chosen people". They are converts who claim to be what they are not. There will be hell to pay for that alone!
But I would caution exhibiting disdain for the Khazars. I don't know where they picked up the scrawny types--perhaps in their migration across eastern Europe, but if it wasn't for the Kazarian Empire mercilessly savaging the endless muslim hordes to the point of them just giving up trying to circle up through what is today Turkey and Georgia and around into eastern Europe, we would all be yelling 'Allah Akbar' bowing the knee to Mecca and kissing a Kabba stone today.
At least this one has some natural resources...
Is that one of those hi-tech shells from the US?
Of course it is, silly.
That soviet bloc housing gives me a woody for central planning.
at least they aren't falling into their own basements
C'mon, that's not Ukraine, looks like the south side of Chicago to me. That's Rahm doing god's work.
Artillery shells travel horizontally? I thought they are lobbed in, unless firing at incoming threats...
They HAVE TO travel horizontally. If they only went straight up and down they wouldn't be much use.
(I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself)
If we could sell ISIS some shells that went straight up and straight down, now that would be something.
A howitzer shoots from flat up to virtical. The flight of the round depends on the gun placement relative to the target.
point blank range....small artillery piece.....maybe even hand towed
Right. Just zoom in on the video and you can read "Made in Akron" on the shell itself. Not.
General Dynamics doesnt have a location in Akron.
105, 120 and 155's are manufactured in Scranton, PA.
The dystopian future is here; not just in Ukraine, but in Greece, and right here in U.S.A.
It is glossed over with many bright objects, yet takes more and more effort not to be seen by those who do not wish to see it.
Couldn't see anything...
Get close to 1:37, then double click the play/pause button and try to single step it.
I think its in 3 frames only.
I doubt many can see it real time and I KNOW the photographers didn't see it at first.
By the way, who is your avatar? Looks like Samantha on Bewitched...but its not.
One of the 'supermodels', I think this one:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gisele_B%C3%BCndchen
Play it at 0.25 speed, start it at 1:34 or so, and you cen see little orange streaks in two frames, going from left to right.
La Bardot! 1968
First time I saw nothing. I saw it on the video the second time when I read it passes at 1:37. Normal speed video, I fixed my eyes on the spot where the still shows it passing, and that shell is super fast.
The shell comes in from the left and curves down to target at 1:37 for several seconds.
If you see it for several seconds, you're watching a bird.
Nothing...just a noise...no sign of a shell, no damage, no smoke, no target...nothing. Must be a joke video.
From one blond to another, you sure are a dumb one.
Sorry I couldnt resist.
Try d/l the MP4 video and watching it full screen in step by step mode. The shell is clearly visible on the left with sky background and curving down to ground. Then the bang.
I suppose it could be an exploding pigeon, but, you know...
Um, did that put a dent in real estate, because I'm seeing construction cranes.
its conceptual art, artillery shell-high rise crane
bravo!
That is NOT a construction crane..that is a rail gun...the newest and baddest in the world....can send a projectile 100 miles or more..
I hope they get a hold of Nuland and her friends and do bad things to them.
I bet Wesley Clark would have something to say about this.
He has something to say about everything.
"It's easier to shell a dissident than to lock them up."

Oh please. This is just more entertainment for the people in the USA. They watch the ‘stunning footage’ with delight on their newest I-Toys and HDTVs. Couldn’t care less so long as the markets go up. Millions can die, but the Fed better support the markets. If they don’t, those artillery rounds will be screaming over Pennsylvania Avenue in short order. The oligarchs know this very well, as do the banker elites. Keep the American hoi polloi content and they will remain under control. A job at McD’s, a MasterCard and a modest BMW lease payment, prevent an uprising.
Want austerity and balanced budgets? Then get ready for Greece. Try cutting SS, welfare, veterans benefits, and EBT cards, and you can watch the tracer rounds live in your city. Our massive debt-driven entitlement society can only end like Greece, but expect the power brokers to try to hold it off as long as possible, and inflict more pain for the bears. When the dam finally bursts it will be spectacular indeed. Food, medicine, water, and body armor…
2 thumbs up!
Donetsk is being shelled almost daily under wide shut eyes of OSCE observers.
ZH should catch up more with news on Ukrainian war.
Here is much more about what's going on in Donbas and elsewhere in Ukraine and it is a lot recently.

Who was filming this and why?
I thought EVERYBODY filmed EVERYTHING all the time.
Isn't that the primary purpose of the 'millenials'?
Honestly, if bombs were flying around me, I'ld likely flip on a "filming" device also.
Film...what is film...those 'filmers' were using 21st century high density flash memory devices.
Film...so polaroid
LOL, funny stuff dude. We do date ourselves with the film thing. Same as taping. I taped a show last night, erased over my mother's bday celebration. lol This is all so rad!

Cool! It's always fun seeing Russians get shelled :)
It's going to be even cooler and way more fun when the Don and Kuban Wolf Cossacks come to kill 70,000 Ukrainian soldiers! :-)
I had a girlfriend back in the 70s who had a fixation with Russia. She was of Czech/Bohemian heritage (her dad was a cop) and she took 4 years of Russian language along with all honors math and science ... brilliant girl, graduated 4th in a class of about 1250.
On her own she went backpacking in Russia after high school (yeah, before the fall of the USSR). There were two things she talked about, the friendliness of the people and the huge pot plants in Georgia with their flowering tops (yeah back 40 years ago she liked the occasional smoke).
The point is that it is not the people. Just like here, when people's minds get bent they can do bad things ... but I would think that of any military person, who is taught that killing is normal and taught that there are enemies. The truth is that the only enemies that you have are the ones that you are taught are your enemies and that you bring with you. People are not born as enemies of one another.
That's why governments must demonize them, and forbid trade and contact between groups of people. If they didn't the people would discover that most people want to feed their families, and live in peace.
Without getting too deep into the nature of reality and what this world is for, it seems that there are some pretty clear observations that can be made about those who run this world:
1. They want us to be in constant fear
2. They want us divided and in constant conflict with each other ... they want us fighting ourselves.
3. They want to obscure/hide the true nature of things
4. They want us classified and want constant feedback on how we are reacting to their actions (like a science experiment... herd of cattle)
5. They want us to trust them to do what is right for us
Now, anyone with half a brain can tell that given 1.,2. and 3. above acquiescing to 5. above would be lunacy. 4. is an offshoot.
The surprising thing is that there are soooo many of them. It seems that they are in virtually all positions of control. There are gatekeepers everywhere in with the population, in positions of power and control.
The question is: Are we infiltrated or do people become them when they meet certain requirements and agree? Or do they not need to agree and they are just assimilated by other means? If people agree, then the argument must be quite compelling. Certainly the list of dead people who seemingly did not agree is long.
The people responsible for this need to have their throats slit and heads cut off and placed on a pike....What exactly does this insanity produce other than murder and destruction?
Lol... when you find the actual people who are responsible, let me know. Killing the soldiers or the low level managers will stop nothing.
Might as well start with Victoria Nuland and then watch closely to see where the rest of the rats scurry off to.
zionazi bloodlust. they don't know any better. please forgive them.
well, at least there still are some birds left in ukieland.
jesus,,, Every country that associates itself with the ufsa just can't stop the killing.
Another country that will end up hating us for using their blood for our politics.
who is taking the risk on new construction in a combat zone? did silverstein get another sweet insurance contract?
You mean they are fighting in the Ukraine...omg
It didn't have a target. It was fired indiscriminately at a civilian area.
The Nuremberg Principles cover this matter.
You remember those, don't you? America wrote them.
Old America.
Red shell flying horizontally. Legit!
You've never seen a 120mm smooth bore cannon on a tank fire a horizontal round?
Does the State Department pay in in Hot Pockets?
2 more weeks of this and you'll get a raise to include a Capri Sun with every post.

Now we get this, hasn't he had the 'stay on message' message?
Kiev authorities are running a ‘puppet regime’, which was established by the West for their goals, ex-employee of the State Department Rodney Martin said.
The unsuccessful attempts to end hostilities in Donbass are the fault of the current Ukrainian government, Martin continued. As I have repeatedly pointed out when Russia was surrounded by other nations, it did not result in anything good for them. We are entering a very serious political situation and I think we need a sober mind to engage in dialogue. The separatists are not shelling themselves, as they have no reason to do so,” Martin said.
He also noted that the Kiev government owes billions of dollars to the West and will therefore carry out its instructions. “The first goal of the West was to destroy the Soviet Union, it did. Now its next goal is to split the Russian Federation.” Speaking about the restoration of peace in Ukraine, Martin noted that the Ukrainian people need to understand the conditions in which they are right now, “people are used as pawns in a geopolitical chess game that cannot end well, as the West will not sacrifice its national heritage and resources.” According to Martin, the world needs to “stop the economic terrorism” which the West uses in order to achieve its geopolitical and military goals.

It was an African swallow headed home. Notice the red plumage.
I saw the shell in the video. That was pretty cool, except for the landing.
You can only imagine what our MSM would be saying if this was the Novorussians shelling Kiev or Palestinians shelling Tel Aviv, we would face a 24x7 'new' cycle with outrage and condemnation of such an act. The UN would investigate and call the act of shelling a civilian area a war crime. However, there will be NO UN war crime investigation, we will not see this war crime or its results mentioned in our media, the dead and wounded will not shown because the shelling and war crime is fully supported by the US government and the presstitutes who tow the line. The propaganda model offers lies by omission, the people in the West remain ignorant for the most part and the war continues.
The Ukraine has several nuclear power stations.
One of these shells can hit one.
So what is the evidence it is from Ukraine? Don't both sides have almost the same equipment?
Would it make sense for Ukraine guys to shell their own city?Its a Russian UFO from Mars!
Would it make sense for Ukraine guys to shell their own city?Its a Russian UFO from Mars!
Donetsk is Ukraine's 5th largest city, pop. just under a million, metro 2 million.
Makes it a bit smaller than Dallas. I'm hearing lots of explosions and then this red streak at 1:37, then a loud explosion (out of camera view).
Imagine the terror of the exact same "footage" in Dallas, then concede the fact that this is a made in USA war.
Then ask yourself what in the fuck is the State Department doing? Ask yourself what are these people doing to improve things in the world ? Ukraine is one fuck-up of many that has been created by neo-con aspirations.
We saw the random, rabid shelling in Gaza last year and Israel has taken a lot of heat over it.
Finally, WTF is the difference between Israel bombing the shit out of Palestinians and USA installed Porochenko bombing the shit out of eastern Ukrainians ?
On every level, it is barbaric and sickening.
Killing production that they can't control.. but then, there is over capacity and killing heavy industry to preserve that in the countries that got this going... Germany and the US. Ya, Putin knows all about this, as it was, last year, Putin got out the word that only a political solution would solve this and in EARLY June, got the situation right to get big pipe orders from Russian companies, those companies thinking that the Donbass would be in the mix to compete if they didn't bid low and then in the end of July the shit went down and the Donbass - Dontesk, became non-competative. Minsk-I then came about, but the writing was on the wall for the rest of Ukraine's heavy industry, that part that wasn't essential to the war effort, lack of coal from the DNR has shut down the coke plant, not the shelling that Kiev blames. As Kiev is still all about the EU, well anything that is not up to EU standards can't produce for the EU market anyway. The Borderlands.. the inbetween lands. The totally broke lands. Somebody has to loose in this great economic contraction, to bad it includes a bit of premature death. Includes is the switch from 152mm shells to 155mm (and a cost increase of 5X at least); soviet style to NATO and that make a lot of politicians happy..
In case anyone doesn't understand WTF is going on, read "JohninMK" , July 21, 11:22
Thank you John.
Thanks for your comment.
Just feel for all the poor bastards on the receiving end of indiscriminate shelling. And anger at the government in Kiev that is destroying its own infrastructure and people.
Perhaps one of the bright spots is that the fortune of the oligarch in charge, Poroschenko, invested in Roshen a chocolate company, has been hammered since he started this. On the other hand, for some reason, his bank has got fat.
