Few facts, much speculation as explosions heard in Belarus
2022-03-17
[IsraelTimes] Reports indicate that booms are being heard in several areas of southern Belarus.

There is no confirmed reliable information about the source of the blasts, but speculation over the mystery ranges from sonic booms to a false flag attack by Russia to an internal coup.

An opposition politician opposed to Minsk’s alliance with Moscow claims 30 aircraft recently took off and 6 missiles were shot near Kalinkovich, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) from the border with Ukraine.



An Australian threat analysis group reports on other explosions that appear to be separate from those reported above.

#4  Pretty plane except that anus tube. What is that?

Rear radar warning and radar. It can launch radar guided missiles with that at a pursuer without turning around.

How well it works is yet to be seen.
