Caught On Tape: Russia Unleashes Massive Bombing Raid On Militant Convoy
There’s been some debate over the last two months about whether the concerted effort on Moscow’s part to release hundreds upon hundreds of MoD clips depicting airstrikes in Syria on the way to embarrassing Washington paints an accurate picture of what’s really going on.
That is, if one simply compares the Russian footage to what we know or have seen with regard to America’s 15-month air campaign against Islamic State, it would be easy to conclude that the US simply hasn’t been trying very hard - or at least not compared to The Kremlin.
While that’s probably an accurate assessment, it’s not always easy to tell what exactly the Russians are hitting when it comes to the targets being vaporized in the videos (although it’s pretty clear in the clips depicting strikes on oil tankers) and the US contends that one reason The Pentagon has been cautious is that Washington is concerned with civilian casualties, especially as it relates to the drivers in the crude truck convoys. For those who follow the US’s exploits in the Mid-East that’s a hard pill to swallow given what we know about collateral damage in drone strikes and given what happened in October in Kunduz, but the point is, taking Moscow at its word when Russia’s intent is quite clearly to make a mockery of the West’s efforts is just as dangerous as taking Washington at its word when The White House swears the US is doing everything in its power to fight terror.
All of that said, there’s also been what certainly feels like a marked increase in the number of independently released videos since Russia began bombing rebel and extremist targets. That is, in addition to what Moscow has released on social media, there have been dozens upon dozens of videos shot from the ground which depict either Russian airstrikes themselves or the aftermath. Although it’s not always easy to discern what precisely is going on in the amateur footage, there almost unquestionably seem to be more videos from on the ground cameramen then there were prior to the Russian intervention which in turn suggests that when it comes to the war on terror, Moscow, not Washington, is clearly taking the lead.
With all of that in mind we present the following clip which purports to show a Russian strike on a “militant convoy.”

Erdogan will not appreciate more of his convoys being destroyed.
Neither will the Zionist in Isreal.
Besides "Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar! Allah Akbar!" every other word... can anyone translate what they're saying about the bombing raids? Or does "Allah Akbar" mean "Holy Shit" in Arabic?
Me thinks they're going to have to pay their truck drivers more.
And methinks somebody over there has got themselves a little drone with a video camera.
They were allowed to live to make the video
That's a decent theory.
I mean, how fucking totally batshit crazy would you have to be to shoot this video -- considering the possiblity of additional air strikes or the burning truck managing to explode?
I mean, really.
Most of the trucks were already pushed off the road, so they probably relit the fires for effect.
Where's Jerry Reed when you need him?
North bound and down, loaded up and truck'n
We gonna do what they say can't be done
Got a long way to go and a short time to get there
Look out Omar watch that Bandit run
Hey, y’know.. if the CIA would fund Google to rig all those trucks up with their autonomous driving technology, then the Air Force could bomb them all day long without fear of civilian casualties.
It’s an All-American Win-Win-Win-Win proposition.. for Google, the armaments industries, the Air Force and for the drivers who can just immigrate to the US and get Obama welfare and tax credits.
I smell a "cash for clunkers" opportunity and a chance to prop up those sagging big rig sales numbers with some creative exporting from Galveston to turkey...
I think we have a new "allahu akbar" record!!
Dona K, the Russians were kind enought to drop a leaflet 30 seconds ahead of the real run that read simply, "Watch This".
Now that destroying the truck with the goats in lingerie is really gonna piss them dudes off ....
virgin goats, I trust.
That gets my goat.
Soros spares no money when it comes to gathering evidence of 'crimes against humanity' - in this case, destruction of property intended to profit Israel (amongst others).
Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals. And a Happy New Year.
I don't know. It's kind of sucky, sitting on my couch, being entertained by some poor slob trying to earn a living, getting blown to bits.
Go bomb Erdogan's fucking tent. While him and his prick son are in it.
Or an errant drone strike on a golf course. Someplace with palms.
Now, that would be some shit.
Oh look – melted / bent truck frame beams …..
The addition of combusting tire temperature release.
Almost fusional, yeah.
The benefits are huge already, just think of the 72 virgins.
It's like "Oh my God!" and "Praise God!" all in one.
Also lots of mentions of the word "Turkmen" in there.
Literal translation: 'God is great'
I think it translates to "How dare you attack poor innocent Turkmen who have never do a thing to harm anyone"*
* Turkmen = Turk pretending to live in Syria
* anyone - the SU-24 pilot doesn't count - obviously!
/sarc
+1000 JS and all the "virgins" in heaven that come with it!!!
The guy at at the beginning is saying that the Russians are bombing civilans with women and children. The guy in the middle at 4:55 is saying that these are civilian trucks that are completely empty, and that the Russians just started blowing up random vehicles. The guy at the end says that they are fighting back against the Russians in response. I grew up in Jordan and speak fluent Arabic.
Did he sound believable from your stand point? Not a critique, I'm actually curious sense I can't understand their inflections and such.
Hard to tell. Honesty and transparency is not exactly a Middle Eastern virtue. They're suckers for propaganda and misinformation. My hunch is that the Russians are bombing both legitimate as well as civilian targets (since when did the Russians care about human life?), and the anti-Russian rebels are just pointing out some of the collateral damage in these videos to further their own agenda.
I appreciate your McElroy headed analysis. I agree.
Thanks TallDog.
You've got to wonder though - why would civilians travel in such large convoys (that could be misidentified from 18,000ft as an oil tanker convoy)?
The only reason I can think of is mutual protection, but that doesn't seem legit either (against flatbed mounted 25mm, RPGs, etc). Conclusion: the "civilian convoy" narrative is probably BS.
"Emergency emergency everyone to get from street, the Russians are coming"
In honor to the late Alan Arkin.

Good question. They say it as often as Americans say "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god..." Very irritating, I agree.
It never bothered me at all.
Especially when they would throw in the occasional "Hit me with that big rhythm stick."
Please God
When are these ragheads going to figure out that the Russians have perefected voice guided missles that are programmed to pick up Allahu Akbar and aim directly for that?
Allah Akbar translation = "holy shit!!"
J S, I posted this then saw your post! Lol
Neither will the Zionist in Isreal.

In sadder news - Ian Fraser Kilmister died today at age 70 aka Lemmy.
http://consequenceofsound.net/2015/12/r-i-p-lemmy-kilmister-motorhead-fr...
Thanks for that
RIP Lemmy.
But ... but ... but ... IMPOSSIBLE!!! I mean, if Lemmy can die, then perhaps, maybe ... Keith Richards is NOT indestructible either!!!
What kind of Satan-Spawn-GM-bio-weapons-grade-space-alien-voodoo-black-magic Cancer could possibly survive Lemmy's alcohol system anyway???? Call the cops! The CIA! The WHO! The biological weapons experts, whoever they are! This shit could be serious!
Let us now have one minute of sil- , I mean, raucous noise, thrash, speed metal in memory of Lemmy. RIP.
Condolences to friends and family, he will be sorely missed.
And must be said that in Hawkwind Space Ritual unmistakable driving presence Lemmy Kilmister, was born to go...

We were born to go
To blow the human mind

Cancer diagnosed on 26 December, dead a few days later. That is aggressive. My guess is that he knew something was wrong and kept quiet until it was obvious. That gave a much shorter period for the family to worry and suffer.

You should see the bullshit posted at another "business" website to remain nameless. They claimed it was US bombing of ISIS oil facilities that is bringing them to their knees. The Bamster didn't even let our planes attack them until the Russians had blown the shit out of half their oil facilities and even then, as ZH posted, we dropped "warning leaflets" for the tanker drivers.
No worries. Next for Putin. Bombing of the Pure Evil Criminal CIA's Poppy Fields in Afghanistan.
Evil plants? You sound like the DEA and the rabbid politicians who think it's any of their business to decide what people are allowed to eat.
You apebrain need learn to read what people write. Commenter told that CIA is evil, not flower patch.
To read and important to understand, for some it's too hard.
No worries. Next for Putin. Bombing of the Pure Evil Criminal CIA's Poppy Fields in Afghanistan.
Now this would be funny. How damned upside down is a world that a Russian becomes an American hero?
Comments like this betray your disregard for human life, and your ignorance of the economic consequences of destroying capital. Oil trucks are not guilty any more than a brick is guilty for being set in mortar to construct a building in ISIS territory. Neither are the drivers guilty. The enthusiastic cheerleading for economic destruction and the radicalization of people who have even less now to sustain them is troubling to me.
Hey rapetrain ? Hitler had trucks in his Army. Did he hire his drivers from an employment agency ?
7 weeks, lol. Fag.
You might be 15 years old, you took an acquaintance to the trolls?
Sounds like a machine...
"...is troubling to me"
Sounds more like a delicate flower who has had his safe space violated by something he read. Poor thing.
I think he has Mommy issues.
If you're driving for ISIS, you're guilty. Period.
Those tankers didn't look shiny new models even before they got blowed to fuck. What you got here is regular guy Ahmed trying to make a crust getting work hauling stuff in his old truck.
OK he probably does know it's ISIS but so what. That's like saying you're responsible for the latest hospital / wedding drone strike fuckup because you paid taxes.
You want to hit military equipment then I got no argument. When it's civilian targets you tread very carefully.
Taking oil out, bringing arms, food and medical suppies in for an armed force engaged in ethnic cleansing. Looks like a valid military target to me.

More so. The Russian Rules of Engagement are as follows:

My buddy was in country. I and Af.
He said they fucked with some Poles, shot and killed a soldier. He said the Poles went to that " village" and murdered every thing that breathed.
After that, no problems. They KNEW what would come. Only had to do it once.
Said he saw some Brits do the same shit, not as violent, but enough.
Afterwards, they could set up a folding table anywhere, and have tea, with impunity.
Your there to do something, or your not. It's fucked to put our guys there, and then tie their hands.
Sorry - I am no fan of the mass murder of innocent people by invaders. The Russians were invited to rid Syria (and hopefully Iraq next) of these ZWO backed head choppers.
War and wars suck as the banksters are behind them. Russia is there to eject invaders and mass murderers.
We freed them from their despot rulers.
See how much better it is now?
War crimes ^
Yip Yip erdogan is a nobody compared to Putin. Putin will crush that terrorist.
I dunno if anyone else noticed but I don't see much in the way of "cargo" in these pictures. The trucks all appear empty.

More cheep nails for my nail guns. I noticed after the iraq smack down all my nail gun nails came from the middle east.
Could say that I built a lot of houses with old melted down iraqi tanks and trucks.
This can only mean an edless supply of nails and if I were there I would start up a smelting plant right away. ChaChing!
And the depleted uranium that was mixed in with the steel helps them to grip tightly to the wood.

fuck you russia
russia is doing absolutely nothing to kill anyone in syria
99% of their bombs miss the target on purpose and the do not attempt to kick out usa and nato from syria
they closed the eyes on iraq and afganistan
russia is not a hero, they are just the same ugly jew part of nwo, just not able to agree with the rest of the werstern jews on some pipelines
putin in fact is a criminal for not killing all muslims in russia
zh members are just as smart as a muslims howling at the moon and have sex with little boys, while pretend to have something like "pride"
You're an interesting type of psychopath. What hospital did you escape from?
He's typing from Tel Aviv General. The trauma of seeing Greater Israhell go up in smoke has got his panties in a bunch.
tel aviv? its you faggots who suck on jew dicks, not me
go with daze-man and eat bravely you happy pootie-meal, you are far from consciousness
most of you just like to be muslim lovers and gay-sex addicts
Muslim lover, never.
I have heard that it isn't really gay if you don't push back. Is that true in your experience?
whenever you guys are out of arguments you just run away into some distractions like israel and other irrelevant things
but you cant deny the fact that syrians population was evacuated into turkey and germany. russia and usa is preparing for an expansion of israelis influence and maybe it will result in greater israel
the fact that russia is completely jew run is always ignored by zh readers - its a sign of ignorance and lack of a brain
they preted to have a conflict in syria while in realty they cooperaten and profit only
russia would be able to destroy the 35000 man army within a single week maybe less
they just do it on purpose to strech the conflict into further and further
some of zh readers are quite smart and know the true ability of us and russian troops
iraqs 400000 man army was destroyed immediately without russia. because putin dropped the support and betrayed sadam.
but the russkis were so stupid they misjudged the usa and now they losing ground
russia failed in ukraine, lost 50% of ukraine only being able to save krim
if russia would be smart the border would be now going trough the middle of germany
its because russian people, no matter if they are jew-mixed or not are naturaly born retards with metal disabilities
but all you guys can do is talk about gays-sex? you must admit you guys are gays then
well thats nothing wrong to be gay - im not antigay, you guys can anal sex as much as you want
its just that males barain is errected by male voice
whenever i bring up gay topic all people here immediately get a boner
you guys are now official proven to be real homosexuals
and if you talk bad about israel
in israel a muslim recieves so many hits in his face until he sees stars -no matter if woman or child
this is how to handle all muslimes
I don't know what you got mania, but it's your personal problem.
The conclusion here is one: fanatics are dangerous to themselves and others, isolation, and occupational therapy best humane method of rehabilitation.
your are speaking out of experience, you give medication advices to every second person here on zh
a bladeface just cant make friends if you try to, no one want to be with you
you need to work on your social problems much harder, because your problems are affecting zh
im so sorry for waking you up from you dream
until now you were always the loser in russia, but now you can post any shit and be upvoted just because you are pro-russian
WOW YOU HERO you found same like-minded idiots like you, wich gave you confirmation of being right
i can tell you this: being confirmated by idiots makes you and even a bigger idiot
you lonley idiot
Pathetic cretin, totally incapable of critical thought or seeing reality at all it seems!
The pathetic cretin is on a payroll, just doing his job, kinda like the truck drivers. The otherwise interesting and informative thread is completely blown to hell.
Fuck these paid bastards.
you have a putin profile pic
i did not even post anti russia comments and you suggest that i am anti russia?
all i figured out that russia cant beat an army of 30000 incest cripples and most of their bombs miss the real targets - with this figuring out i did figure out more than you did in your whole life
all of you insult me but no one of you could prove me the opposit, not a single response with imformation in it
where is you response that putin kicked out nato and britain and usa out of syria nad iraq? please tell that im wrong with what i posted
please tell me that im wrong that eu and turkey did steal the syrian population
please tell me that im wrong that russias oligarch elite consist mostly of jews from ukrainian and other origin
-google the russian oligarch list
-research russian politicains
-research media owners of russia
same as usa mostly jews
im so disappointed with most of you
what do you expect me to post? something like
"well done russia, thank you putin for destroying 3 trucks in a desert, i like you. be my wife!"
Well, moaning in the comments "Yes it would be better.. but this time.. but those.. and these" - go to the forest. Only to whine and moan you know how.
And there is not far away and to resume life in the trees.
again an attempt to get off topic see you are so close to mrNosey
you are a spammer
Touchy, as a girl menstruating!
I know you are, but what am I?
It always amuses me to see posts by people not fluent in English when they try to be insulting. They try so hard, yet the language-thing just makes it sound so juvenile...The insults just lose their sting during the attempted translation.
People should stick to their native tongues when going into hostile-mode. Your own language is always best for expressing yourself.
oh the hit and run tactic, huh?
drinking bravely your milk this morning still wont make you a man nor smart
you should stop wearing the skirt of your grandmama
Member for 3 weeks, what a troll you are asshole.
you are here since 3 years and you are still a complete idiot
your picture is upside down. dont they teach you boys at Ft Meade nuthin'?
That's what he looks like peeking under public bathroom stalls.
He ain't your ordinary toe-tapping type.
putin in fact is a criminal for not killing all[sic] muslims in russia
Just what this world needs is mass genocide. Hey, if Obama and Netanyahoo take the lead, maybe Putin will follow.
ISIS troll?
is it that you just envy me of my ability of critical thinking?
all you can do is stick to mama and cry like a little girl
but of course i know your side "must" be the right side thats why you clinch to your mama, putin
if you cant stick to your mama, you fall into dark depression because you cant stand the fact that there is no something like a right side
all of you here are blind weak followers you should go back to twitter and facebook and follow some empty idols
edit: yeah plese delete the ukrainian woman of you profile pic, so no one can judge your bias
Why are you showing off your dead brain-wave pattern above your avatar ?
my brain wave pattern is by far the most advanced and exciting pattern you was ever confronted with
but now its time to you to go back to work and reconstruct jew-owned russias glory
Here it is, an altered consciousness in action.
Above you there brain the experiment is performed with psychotropic equipment...
i will not lower myself on you bottom end level of accusations and nonsense babbeling
you gave away everything
and the eastern jews, who sold everything to western jews, now encounterd the fact that they received usless printed paper and they already losing it, like the jew-russian billionaires in london.
you loser russian jews are loser
look at the map what you already gave away
http://s15.postimg.org/d7c7slqfv/hgjghjghjjj.jpg
what do you want to do if putin is gone? you guys cant use even 1/3 of your brain
and about putin being a complete retard, he even released hodorkovsky out of the prison
putin is the same criminal finger on the same criminal hand
Tell that to the deaf girl. If you're a loser doesn't mean that all are.

Can you please stop saying allah akbar. Thanks.
Well, Russia appears to be doing a terrific job. Hope they aren't wasting high-value missiles on the scum. And I hear the price of good quality rope is climbing in anticipation of what comes after. They can sell the remnants as souvenirs to offset costs. And I don't care if someone is white, black, green, purple or brown. If they have had a hand in this, then they're ghandi.
From what I understad,theyare burning off old Soviet stockpiles
How do they post this shit??? I wish I had such good cellular coverage in urban SoCal--as these future martyrs seem to have--in the middle of bum-fuck-Syria.
They hacked the Alciaduh satellite ip address, uploaded to the intertubes.
Hacked... yeah that's what the CIA might claim if the truth ever comes out.
I can't see anything about that liveleak video to confirm that it's taken with a smartphone. It looks more like video camera output to me. In which case cellphone coverage doesn't come into it.
There are about 50 reporters per square mile on average throughout the ME, and have been since at least the 70s. Full coverage of the ME was probably one of the first priorities for cell companies.
I'm waiting for the Ruskies to get some verifiable chain of transactions and start going after Junior's tankers in international waters.

"I hope you brought Halal wieners, Sir. They'll cook up pretty good."
Robb White. Great stories.
Be careful what you wish for. It really does look like they are leading up to that with the language being used. Keep in mind they have a UN Security Resolution to go after pretty much anyone to be proven connected. We have yet to see any boundaries pushed in that area.
The Russians need to keep the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits open. Might be time for a new landlord there. Russian air power and Greek ground troops, since none of them have a job anyway.
"I'm waiting for the Ruskies to get some verifiable chain of transactions and start going after Junior's tankers in international waters."
