Russia
They may be wanting to get rid of Tartus base or add to their naval presence in the region.
Hey I’d call lighting off 2700 tons of AN “military grade” that’s a helluva boom. And the shock wave was incredible.Yeah, I'm gonna have to back off of the "military-grade explosives" assertion. It sure looked like one, but now the info seems to indicate that it was a large quantity of AN that had sat in that warehouse...in the heat...for something like 6 years?
Still a big boom. And that crater...wow.
Fake? Thoughts?
Interesting use of filter.
I remember someone said there was a plane in the area the first day but then nothing got said.
A missile small enough to avoid most people seeing it wouldnt cause that big of a boom. There would still have to be the AN there, and there was already a massive fire at that location.
Much more straight forward answer is the existing fire lit off the existing AN without a missile.
I would want to see a couple more videos/views before I believed anything.I can't see the video being real. One would think with that many eyes on the already burning fire, a missile would have been seen.

I tend to agree since there were a lot of videos from different angles...and I’m just not seeing anything like it.
Here’s another one floating around...found on a victim of the blast. It’s definitely different than anything else I’ve seen.
I'm skeptical of this claim as well. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I can't imagine any warplane with guided missiles would need to be that close to deliver a missle on target, I mean why risk it when you don't have to?
I would think so, if the intent was to set off AN it wouldn't take much and I would think it could be delivered from miles away by just about any semi modern air force on a stationary target.I was thinking the same earlier. Beirut being a coastal city, couldn’t warplanes easily stay out of Lebanon’s air space and still deliver such?
