Having watched some of the vids, unless they are of some other event, or were made or modified in Hollywood (or China’s new equivalent industry), it sure looks like an air attack to me.
It’s pretty clear this is Russian / Syrian “payback”. Why the Russki’s bother with explanations such as “maybe the trucks self-combusted” is what puzzles me. It just makes them look like some alter-ego of Baghdad Bob.
“maybe the trucks self-combusted”
Sounds like the Russian are suggesting there were secondary explosions in the convoy, that is, the convoy was carrying munitions.
What puzzles me... This happened in eastern Syria. So, this was a convoy from where? Iraq? Are we to believe UN convoys are traveling through ISIS territory? Either the convoy has some assurance of it’s safety by all the rebel groups or it would certainly be attacked and looted along the way, which means the convoy has assures from all groups....therefore the rebels are a coalition and we are indeed supporting ISIS. The return of the mustard gas meme/narrative...as before... is just an attempt to isolate up from ISIS in the media narrative.
Others have observed that the attack could easily have been done with artillery. Also, Russia has generally not been bombing with precision munitions: these weapons do not have near the accuracy needed to make the explosions that were indicated.
And even if they did use precision weapons, they would have had to had precise targeting information. As they teach in any military manual, there can be a striking difference between precision and accuracy
