It has been noted that possible satellite support to terrorists uncoverd due to pin point missile attack

There's not too many suspects available, when it comes to satellite assisted missles...a few, but not many

RT carried some 'other' news this am about Syrians capturing a command center in Eastern Aleppo, finding stores of chemical weapons and some 'satellite communications gear'. They showed images of it this morning on RT.

Looking, can't find it...

Edit: Bingo, @1:35 into video in below link...

RT news

Including a screen shot from the segment in case they pull it...



Described as 'remote detonation equipment' and at the top a, 'satellite communication device'. So 'whats it', techno wizards, ever seen that thingy before?

They were artillery shells and not a missile. As for getting coordinates not hard they can get that on google earth. but even without that all they need is a spotter to radio where the rounds hit and walk them in to the target. That's my bet on how ISIS did it because I guarantee they have supporters in the area. As to targeting a hospital I don't think a group like Isis cares since they violate international law almost daily.

Captured satellite comm. equipment aside, once rounds begin 'walking into targets', people generally take cover. The 'pin point' targeting implies they had foreknowledge from communication with someone... someone 'higher up'.

Can't get that info from google earth. Like, google search: "Russian field hospital location", lol. They aren't flying a flag over it, either. Besides from the images presented, its not on a hill top, visible to "spotters", it was in a built up area surrounded by buildings.

Edit: Whats it like to be targeted by mortar fire that gets 'walked in', @2:20 in here...

Artillery shells , not missiles. Artillery that uses spotters. Spotters dont need to be at same elevation , etc. All they have to have is a Line of Sight
Satellites cannot guide artillery fire. Neither are artillery shells "guided"
This shout out was for intrptr
That was a ridiculous comeback to a reasonable post explaining what happened and why....

“We demand that the international community, as well as the International Federation of Red Cross, Red Crescent Societies, Doctors without Borders (MSF), and other international organizations strongly condemn this deliberate killing of Russian military medics that were fulfilling their duty of care by treating Aleppo residents,”

What goes around comes around.

a reply to: Pandaram

This is unconscionable.

And it makes me sick that I have to wonder what role my own government may have played. Deja vu?

U.S military analysts knew they were bombing hospital in Oct. 3 attack that killed 12 Doctors Without Borders staffers

Shame... shame... shame.

That is disgusting.

Bombing hospitals..isn't that the US militarys job?

The implication in the RT segment was that two way satellite communications were used to give coordinates for a quote "pin point attack", not that artillery rounds were 'guided by satellite'.

Theres a difference.

I was trying to show that 'adjusted fire' is different than pre planned or (pinpointed) coordinates.

Sorry you didn't get it.

The conundrum here is "officially", the Russians are bombing civilians in Aleppo, and their own field hospital personnel, too. This doesn't match the narrative, so it isn't garnering attention, more like ommitted.

a reply to: Velatropa24

It's a statement of truth , I find it hard to take that the Russians call for international organizations to condemn the attack when civilian hospitals have been relentlessly bombed across Syria by the government and its allies.

The targeting of this temporary hospital is likely due to that.

The Syrian war is disgusting.

This is a cynical but honest question ,,, do the Daesh shoot as good without Western drones overhead , and - was the Russian bomber not shot down a few days after US F-15's were deployed to Turkey ? I hate to seem down on the Turks , and their masterful use of tech...
Google earth , by your suggestion, provides these coordinates . Just Google ( tee hee ) Edwards AFB or Holloman , or a little south of Fairbanks AK - to see that Google can smudge anything they want . They can block access through whatever server they want ...
Syria also appears to be a very lucrative market for cellular service ... or , why do business there ? Who services the CELL TOWERS . which seem to be more reliable than the one near ME ? Easy targets for those ' walking artillarists ' -not to mention the bombers and drones ...

Anyway , from their general performance - which I have only seen through media ... a whole lotta walkin's going on ...

I'm biting my lip.

Ah what the hell...


THE NEOCONS ARE GOING TO MAKE PUTIN TAKE IT ON THE CHIN TILL JANUARY!

OK, I feel better.

a reply to: Pandaram

An interesting response from Russia regarding the protected status of Hospitals. I guess Russia sees that protected status as only applying to their Hospitals.

Considering they dont use western drones the answer would be does not apply.

A Russian bomber was shot down after Russia violated Turkish airspace numerous times. Whats interesting is how many times has Russia violated Turkish airspace since they had a fighter shot down? Secondly the US had nothing to do with the shoot down so you can stop trying to link the 2 by suggestion.

Turkey has the 2nd largest military in NATO and are capable of taking care of their own issues, whether it be Syria or Russia.

There are several videos of drones being used to direct fire and it wouldn't surprise me if this was the case here.

It is even likely that they have acquired several half decent long range military drones possibly supplied through the usual suspects...

Considering Western drones ... I don't know who ' uses ' them - and , you have a hell of a TSC ... if you do .
I don't know who shot who down or who produced the ATC graphics . I admit my statement was a bit goofy , and well... so was I at the moment of writing that . Sorry .
Turkey has the second largest ... you're probably right. I ' m not sure that they can take care of anything , however .
I think INTEL is FORSALE , that's all . Thanks .
