A recent Mexican TV news piece showed a cartel member wandering about with a shoulder-fired AT-4 anti-tank rocket slung over his shoulder. A number of commenters immediately leaped to one or both of two wrong conclusions:

1: It’s a Javelin missile

2: It’s a missile we gave to Ukraine, which they then turned around and sold on the black market.

Number 1 is easy enough to debunk; it’s simply not a Javelin. Number 2 is more troubling: but then there’s a little detail on the launch tube that makes it clear that wherever the cartel got this thing… it’s not something to fret about too much.

There seems to be some interesting combat going on these days, with Russian volunteers fighting for Ukraine invading a Russian border city and fighting the Russian military. Some suggest that this is actually a false flag operation… but wouldn’t that make it *worse?* The Russian government actually showing the Russian people an active resistance? Nah. The Kremlin couldn’t be *that* incompetent… could it?

As the kids say, it’s a “banger.”

 

It was produced by the same folks responsible for the Alex Jones “Gay Frogs” remix:

Back in the Good Old Days of above-ground nuclear testing, a series of solid propellant smokey-trailed rockets would be launched just before detonation. They would leave vertical trails in the sky near the detonation. The video below explains just what they were for, as well as some of the physics of the detonation itself… the radiation front and the shock front. It’s interesting.
