That looks like a flaring off of natural gas from a tower made for that purpose to me. It looks like it's burning under control.

That much flare off does indicate a disruption in the shipping of the gas. They have to waste it if they cannot ship it to a market.

Definitely looks like flaring.

Something most of us from the Gulf Coast are familiar with seeing regularly.

Sounds fishy to me. Our official allies don't get them but the country most likely to crash with one where the Russians could get their hands on it do.

Ukraine’s F-16s Have Scored Their First Aerial Kills

The nimble jets reportedly shot down Russian cruise missiles on Monday.

Air force officials are preparing the jets for these dangerous clashes. To protect the F-16s from Russian missiles, Ukraine has retained the fighters’ recently-installed Pylon Integrated Dispensing System and the Electronic Combat Integrated Pylon Systems: PIDS and ECIPS, respectively.

PIDS ejects metal chaff and hot-burning flares to spoof incoming radar- and infrared-guided missiles. ECIPS houses passive defenses to complement the active chaff and flares, including the AN/ALQ-162 jammer for defeating radars on the ground, as well as an AN/AAR-60 missile warning system for triggering the passive defenses.

The jammer requires specific programming in order to recognize and defeat the latest Russian radars. The U.S. Air Force assisted with this programming, deploying airmen from the Florida-based 68th Electronic Warfare Squadron to Europe to tweak the F-16s’ jammers.





Are these what the tweet is about?

Maybe we should wait to see what happens before getting in our feels about what's going to happen and insulting the folks who are helping.
