No. They can't hide atrocities.
But they can obfuscate the perpetrator.
Well they can sure divert attention.
They want us questioning what exactly happened to slow or stop us from acting in my opinion.
And well, the US is kinda the world s punching bag
This particular example with the WP rounds is a really poor effort though as the US simply doesn't have the weapons necessary to produce this effect.
When we start punching back, i'll join the military.
The US has WP rounds, but for 155mm and optimized for the production of smoke not fire. They're for smokescreens. Obviously they can cause fires but that's not what they're optimized for.
Fascinating
You millitary ethusiast?
Or its a job?
I didnt know the US uses white phopho for smokes
That changes shit
Marines use WP, Airforce as well. Don't know about who else, but in those branches you can often find it.
However there are US rounds that produce the visible effect the Russians are showing:

That's more of artillery though right?
Yes. Not bombs.
God, I would hate getting a dry shot with artillery while shooting WP.
Well you mean, its fired from a ground emplacement as oppsoed to dropped by some aircraft?
Yeah, it can be very far off. Though, artillery doesn't have to be an "Emplacement". There are quite a few mobile variants, but for WP, I think it is stationary.
To be honest, you want that shit landing as far as possible from yourself
I dont think anyone would brave putting them in stuff like mortars
But yeah, I study military history and technology, though my expertise lies in medieval, renaissance, and napoleanic war weaponry.
It seems very implausible to me that the US would have M777s in the region with WP rounds, whereas there are multiple examples of Russian forces using WP against rebel positions.

Yeah, probably russians trying to boost support for the regime in my opinion
Nah my interest is merely passing
The is a critically important bridge there, which means we'll probably hear more reports like this in the next few weeks as the regime tries to reestablish control.
Real talk though, ISIS created impressive defensive tunnels underneath the cities they held. Made it hard to bomb them out and made it tunnel fighting.
train moles with lazerbeams attached to their heads!

ISIS didnt invent shit they just used the same tactics the Vietnamese did
And still got annihilated
