I can not believe we are even considering this a “factual” piece. Who took the photos? U.S. journalists? U.S. Soldiers? No to these two and actually all the questions. This is propaganda sown by the same people who brought you Drumpf.
The statement of the provider of the photos is very suspect. It shows exactly what they mean it to show. And if you, the author, wants question a knowledgeable military munitions expert on resultant damage (“a puddle of aluminum”), they should look at the detritus from a house fire. Anything aluminum is going to be a melted. And a bomb, when exploding in a MUNITIONS bunker would destroy the bunker and thus any metal object inside that bunker would be a pile of melted metal, for the simple reason the overall temperature of the explosion is geometrically increased with it’s load, and temperatures would be in the many thousands of degrees above a house fire temp.. And curiously, NO BODIES. If this was a real attack, there would have been bodies, and believe this. Putin would be raising holy hell about the deaths.
Perhaps the author has never been to a bombed out airfield in real life. Perhaps they should journey to a few places in Iraq where there was major damage to airfields, armament destroyed and ammunition bunkers basically removed from the surface of the earth.
NONE of the photos depict anything of the sort. and the truth is not relative, it is truth, and I see none in this article.
And what vehicle at an air base have spokes? All of these pictures are lies straight from the Kremlin.
