What is it actually, though? I really doubt they'd be using nukes for this.

Seems like it's a Thermobaric weapon

Bingo. It's a fuel air bomb, the telltale shockwave is pretty.... Telling. Other bombs can create the same sort of shockwave but a fuel air bomb relies on that shockwave for most of its effect.

A little tip, be sure to remove the is=xxx from youtube links before sharing them, especially if you're privacy conscious. They used to just have tracking data to see who you were sharing with, but now with their new chat system it will also tell people who clicked the link what your youtube username is

There would be reporting if they used a nuke, it wouldn't be hideable. The physics only let you minitaurize nukes to a certain point, and I think tactical nukes are almost as close as you can get to that penumbra.

Sensationalist headline.

Write the better headline

nibbler@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 25d (3 replies)

no, that's not my job. I'm just here to point out obvious bullshit and sensationalist headlines.

Madison420@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 25d (1 reply)

Misleading not sensationalists. It's accurate and does not lie, it is however implying it's a never before seen weapon when it's not they just simply haven't been caught using f/a bombs in Gaza before.

Absolutely sensationalist. It's as accurate as any 'some unspecified/broad source said it felt like X'. That's always true. That's worth nothing as a source/headline. So its nothing but sensational.

I'm impressed, the camera didn't shake one bit, even when the shockwave rolled over it.
