RUSSIAN AIR FORCE TO USE LARGER BOMBS IN CHECHNYA

Link

MOSCOW. Feb 9 (Interfax) - The Russian air force is planning to put high-yield bombs into use against the rebel groups in Chechnya.

"Ammunition of greater power and caliber will be used in the mountains of Chechnya than in the flatlands," air force Commander-in- Chief Col. Gen. Anatoly Kornukov told the Moscow press on Wednesday.

He said 500-kilo and 1.5-tonne air bombs will be used.

"Long-range aviation will not be used," because the force already involved is already up to the task of conducting the anti-terrorist operation, he said

Air Fuel Bomb = "volume-detonating aviation bombs"? in use now

Federal Aviation Drops Volume-Detonating Bombs On the Argun Gorge Federal Su-24 bombers dropped several volume-detonating aviation bombs on the Argun gorge in Chechnya Wednesday for the first time in this war, a United Federal Forces staff official told RIA "Novosti". He said that federal forces are planning to continue to use high powered volume-detonating aviation bombs 500 and 1,500 kg each to destroy targets in the mountains. Su-24 and Su-25 bombers will deliver these weapons to the target areas. The Defense Ministry officials say that use of high powered aviation weapons is not forbidden by the international conventions signed by Russia. The military thinks that only the deployment such bombs can help destroy rebels in the mountains.

Federal forces claim they have blocked more than 3,000 rebels in the Argun gorge, "Interfax" reports. The rebels are trying to break the circle in the direction of Georgia and attack frontier posts in the gorge. The military received information that up to 7,500 thousand rebels hiding in the mountainous districts of Chechnya. It makes federal forces repeatedly mop up the already liberated villages.

Folks,

Suggest you look at www.qoqaz.net for the perspective of the Mujahideen. They are saying that the West--pols, media, the lot--are backing the Russians 100%.

One of these days, you will have to get it into your heads that you are currently living the NWO, and have all your lives. You are part of it. You helped make it happen. Now you are helping export it overseas---in this case, into Chechnya. NWO *loves* you, and appreciates all the help you continue to give it.

>> After what the US did in Iran, Panama and Kosovo?? On what grounds of moral authority are we going to 'protest' what the Russians are doing? We don't even protest what WE do...do we? Go figure. Yes, i understand what you mean, and I am against violence in all forms. Why don't these "Big Boyz" SOLVE IT!? Gee, wouldn't that be nice for a change.

==========================

Possum - "Are these Fuel-air type or conventional High-explosive?"

I think 'both'. Not sure, i think fuel-air bomb is a two stage device. First stage is a 'minor detonation' which disperses "an explosive mixture" - of 'what' i don't know, some 'high performance' gasoline? Second stage detonation 'triggers' the entire affair...and you get 2-3 times the explosive energetic yeild. Devastating.

You ought to get a 'clue' Boy. You think this is a Nintendo game?

You think it would be funny if it was your brother that was standing there? You ever heard the *sound* of Mother's crying - or watched a child "run" covered with napalm? You think this is a joke what is happening over there??

Grow up self-centered American Punk...and find something to care about. You're sick in your Heart.
