Rather Large Explosion UKR 1000 kg TNT equivalent

So it showed up magnetically?

That definitely means it was a baby nuke or an electro magnetic pulse weapon.

No conventional explosions, no matter the size, have a magnetic component to the blast.

Was that area an internet center or command center? That would explain the EMP weapon. If not then why use an EMP?

I was....

I didn't even think of this. I'm looking at rsoe edits, ads-b to earthquake maps. An EMP sounds highly plausible. There was a nuclear power plant that lost its last power supply line a couple days back.

The location reported for this was near Kharkiv, the nuke plant with line cut was more than 200 miles south of there near Kherson.

I looked up Kharkiv and they have lots of industries, both general and war related, that would be damaged by an EMP weapon.

So far there are no sizmic reports of this event. It is looking more like it was an EMP.

Yes, not a nuke plant explosion.
This plant is in Kharkiv.

BeyondKnowledge cleared that up.

The guy mentions 500-1000kt as a a guess (take that word guess at its core value folks)... thats a big spread. Id say its probably more on the lower end.

Also, looking at his graph... he talks about the spike after the explosion (registering almost 14 minutes after said explosion, which doesnt sit right with me since such detection would be alot faster as far as im understanding it)...

BUT...

Whats that other spike to the left of the explosion pic he stuck on the graph, what caused that spike 18ish minutes earlier?.. no mention of that, which makes me question the interpretation of the spikes origin, hell the first spike is larger in Belgium than the one for the supposed explosion.

So yeah, it aint what we think it is... believe me, if it was a mini nuke, there would be some seriously angry and panicky people in various governments right now and ruZZia would be getting ready to # some bricks. If it was an EMP, why is there supposed photos and info about the supposed explosion that caused it? None of the electronics in the area would be functioning in order to report this... the pic he used, which im only assuming is one of the reported explosion he's attaching to the anomaly looks rather tiny to be honest.

That was my initial thought but check this guys timeline he proclaims to have an oldskool ways of registering much smaller blasts which mainstream science has ignored, originally a new Ukrainians methods

I would agree which makes it more likely a rather large ammo dump

Double post

But what I will say… is this

The javelins which undoubtedly changed the course of the war and acted as a weapons multiplayer was designed to fight mass soviet formations

The HIMARS was another technology designed for exactly this enemy, Soviet enemy 1960s technology

The only difference was the HIMARS was designed to shoot and scoot

It would shoot at Soviet artillery with pinpoint accuracy and then Chinooks would pick it up and move, and shoot again to avoid sensor

Priors to Russian invasion NATO did exactly that to warn, and Russia ignored it

From Romania and Poland the US demonstrated this by firing HIMARS over the Black Sea and moving them to fire again with heavy lift

Russia knew the US hand this swift accuracy which would annihilate their front line and artillery, but never considered the possibility Ukraine would get it, right now Ukraine has just 20 r these units and they have changed the course of the war, like Javelins before

Ukraine is expected to get hundreds of US HIMSRS eventually, certainly one for the history’s books, where you at history channel?

There was video a few days ago of an ammo dump that had an unknown quantity of thermobarics go off on the ground, probably from inside a building, and all at once in the dark, and that was by far the largest explosion seen in Ukraine so far.

I've seen 1 at a time go off in the air in daylight before, but this made me jump from just watching the video, and the video was shot from almost 10 miles away. I could see someone calling that something in the 200t+ range, whether accurate or not.

I'm (very) recently retired, but I think someone (some are close family) would have reached out with at least something if it was what we were worried about, and nobody has.

watch the last one^

1kt explosion isn't really that big in the grand scheme of things. Could be a detonation of an ammo dump.

There is a very well thought out theory that the Ukrainians themselves with our help might intentionally sabotage their own nuclear reactor and then blame the russians for it. Is that happening? Would they do it here and blame terrorists?
