Wdigman Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hopefully nothing comes of this, but it illustrates the political tension in the area. http://edition.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe/08/07/russia.georgia.reut/index.html Does anyone who has seen the new map in detail know if this area is in BS? Is this the only area in the Black Sea where border tensions exist? I dont exactly follow the news day to day in that region of the world. What about the west side of the Black Sea, Romainia, Bulgaria, Ukraine? Guess no news is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfsierra2 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 http://www.reuters.com/news/pictures/articleslideshow?articleId=USL0770646320070807&start=4 Other articles reported, that is was a 1000 kg missile, possible launched by a SU-24. KH-25 (AS-10) would be too small, it's only about 320 kg. KH-28 (AS-9) would fit better with 720 kg. KH-58 (AS-11) is about 640 kg. KH-59 Kegler (AS-13) fits best with 930 kg. http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/missile/row/as-13.htm kind regards, Raven....

mcnab Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Guys, time to do a reality check. It was probably drunk russian pilot straying off from the excercise area and mistaking the georgian village for a terrorist chechen camp. Hey, sh*t happens, and in this case, there was some vodka in the mix as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brit_Radar_Dude Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Does anyone who has seen the new map in detail know if this area is in BS? No, I don't think the BS map goes as far East as that region. I reckon it is 100+kms to the East of the edge of the new terrain in BS. If I found the correct place on a map, it is well inside Georgia, more than halfway to the Armenian border. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Sorry Death, you lose! It was Professor Plum....

S77th-GOYA Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 This report claims it was a 58: MOSCOW, Aug. 8 (Xinhua) -- The unexploded bomb found near the town of Tsitelubani in Georgia on Monday evening proved to be a Russia-made missile, the Georgian Foreign Ministry said in a statement issued on Tuesday night. A tactical anti-radar guided missile Kh-58, or AS-11 Kilter in NATO classification, produced by the Russian design bureau Raduga was fired on Georgian territory on Monday, the ministry said. Other reports claim it was jettisoned after the Fencer was fired upon by a Strela. From the sound of it, it was a Strela-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raised_Dead85 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070809/ap_on_re_eu/georgia_russia Its was said it was a Su-24 launched kh-58. When they detected an intrusion then they turned off the radar causing the missile to fall to the ground!

159th_Viper Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Quote from Link of Raised_Dead85: "The Russian missile missed its target because the Georgian military switched off the radar after it had detected the intrusion and the missile's launch, Defense Ministry spokesman Col. Zurab Pochkua said Thursday on Rustavi-2 television." Would this not cause the Missile to go Ballistic and/or Self-Destruct rather than falling to the ground?
