chemrtails?

well fine, no one is an angel. but at least it wasn't as messy as Americans.

White phosphorous isnt a chemical weapon it is an incendiary weapon.

 

[Creeping Death]

thats stupid. Russia will not employ bio weapons let alone nukes against a nation without an attack on itself deeming its unity.

How predictable are you! You feed off the news media like it was a 3 course meal.

Yeah, I liked the bat signal thing too. But the bio/chem idea is just plain silly - there are FAR easier, cheaper and more effective ways of delivering that type of weapon.

Possibly but not an fancy looking.

"Fancy looking" isn't exactly a criteria for delivering a weapon. (I must admit just your saying that made me laugh out loud.)

It was supposed too it is hard to be sarcastic over the INTERNET lol...

WP is primarily used as a smoke-producer, rather than an incendiary.
And incidentally, Soviet/ Russian classification puts all incendiary weapons under the heading "Chemical Weapons" since they don't use KE or explosive power to do the damage.

Yep, that's true - but you made it work anyway.

Well of course dyw, there are half a dozen countries that would give their left nad to make the US look as bad as possible.

Ok, I have to ask: how missile mistake look like that?

Um, you miss the point.,
The Soviet/ Russian classification of their own incendiary weapons is "chemical", as well as those of other nations.
For the reasons stated: they aren't KE and they aren't explosive.

I'm wondering the same thing.

Hey, Mac, I'm not too surprised that others haven't understood it but I figured you would have. The missile stage, in this case it was the 3rd one, became detached early (actually, it broke away from the main body frame) and still contained a lot of fuel which began spraying out. It already had considerable forward motion (inertia) and the fuel jetting out the side caused it to spin like a pinwheel. There's really nothing more to it than that.
