I'd sort of figured as nothing more come out about it today it was a bit of a non-story, but um now it actually seems like it possibly could be something.

Weird thing is, if there was several large explosions in Belarus where were they? like if there were in cities or towns you'd expect images to be online by now of something been blown up. If they were in military bases you'd expect... you know a coup to be happening or major panic, or more explosions or... you know something.

All very weird.

not to weigh on on the propaganda or anything but if you've never felt a sonic boom before and you're not expecting one it absolutely sounds and feels like something just exploded nearby, and potentially over a large area. we accidentally ate a navy sonic boom from offshore a few years ago in virginia beach when the wind was just right to bring it in, supposedly, and my first thought was that there had been a gas exposion or something. it was enough to knock poo poo off of shelves and bring down a kitchen cabinet that had apparently been just glued to the ceiling lol

I think you might be hitting the odd confluence of people who saying "denazification of ukraine" to convince people ukraine is bad, and the people who legit believe ukraine has a nazi problem, and unironically support them for it. "All they want is just their little own ethnostate is that so bad"

I wonder if Western intelligence (IE: the CIA) is starting poo poo preparing for a coup, or if Lukashenko's unpopularity and being dragged into a supremely unpopular war is just a bad mix for his regime.

Perhaps both?

https://belsat.eu/en/news/30-12-2021-polish-court-upholds-conviction-of-deserter-emil-czeczko/

quote:

An arrest warrant was issued for Czeczko, who on December 16 left his military unit and fled to Belarus.

The trial was held behind closed doors to protect his mother’s private interests. Czeczko is known to have abused alcohol, beat his mother, threatened to kill her, insulted and humiliated her, yelled at her, forced her to buy him cigarettes and alcohol, which “took the form of mental and physical abuse of the mother.” He did not allow his mother to be in the same room with him. The mother was forced to stay in the kitchen.

The latest incident occurred on May 7, 2021. At that time, according to the judge, Czeczko punched his mother several times in the face and the back of the head with an open palm, squeezed her neck with his hands, then punched her in the face with his fist and head. The woman suffered bodily injuries that “caused a deterioration in her health that lasted no more than seven days.” The police then detained the defendant.

Czeczko’s first conviction for this was back in September — before he deserted. He appealed then and returned to duty, as the sentence had not come into force. A few days before he fled to Belarus, Czeczko was stopped by the police for driving under the influence of alcohol and marijuana, but even then, he was not imprisoned.

Earlier, the prosecutor’s office in Bialystok charged Czeczko in absentia under part 3 of article 339 of the Criminal Code of Poland (“Desertion”), which is punishable with imprisonment for a term of one to ten years.

An overstatement maybe, but he was a very popular propaganda tool for the Belarusian government
https://neweasterneurope.eu/2022/03/14/the-belarusian-migrant-crisis-and-state-propaganda/

quote:

In his statements, Czeczko accused Poland of committing genocide on the Polish-Belarusian border. He claims that he participated in the execution of migrants during the ten days that he spent at the EU frontier. According to Belarusian media, the number of those killed by Polish guards varies between 200 and 700 people. He also claimed that he was forced to personally participate in the execution of more than 200 people. This number includes women and children.

Emil Czeczko accused “Polish counterintelligence” of supervising all of these executions. He also claimed that President Andrzej Duda and Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki were aware of these actions.

The Investigative Committee of Belarus launched a criminal case in relation to the high rate of migrant deaths on the Belarusian-Polish border. Though Czeczko publicly called himself a murderer, he is currently a witness in this case

Probably more useful to look at how Belarus perceives him at the moment than how Poland does, I think.

Edit: he was publicly supported by state entities

quote:

In Belarus, Emil Czeczko has filed a lawsuit titled “On Genocide and Crimes against Humanity on the Territory of Poland” to the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

A Belarusian group called the Systemic Advocacy Centre (SAC) appears to be working closely with Czeczko. This state-sponsored body is assisting him with his refugee application and promoting his statements on atrocities committed by Poland.

Raman Pratasevich, a co-founder of the Telegram-channel NEXTA, is also working with the SAC as one of its new human rights defenders. He is now promoting Czeczko’s case along with many others.

Yeah, I just don't know how locating the artillery works. Destroying them is the easy part, artillery especially towed ones. We were told that we have some minutes to relocate after the salvo, otherwise we are going to get salvo from the other side or helicopters after us.

ignoring all the rest of reconnaissance, UAVs and other aerial recon and scouts on the ground, etc. there are a couple ways you can locate the other battery once it starts shooting

one is certain radars can watch the incoming rounds and calculate the origin point from the trajectory, even if they only catch the latter part of the flight. these are purpose-built - not something every radar can do due to the small size of the projectile needing a correspondingly small radar wavelength. they also have a pretty short range for a radar, a side effect of the combination of small wavelength and small physical size of the radar for battlefield needs; but it's plenty of range for its purpose.

If the other guys are also using one of these counterbattery radars, you can also detect them by having your own ELINT sensors looking out for those radar waves.

another way is acoustic sensors - I could be wrong, not an expert on this, but I think these work on a multi-sensor and time-difference-of-arrival principle - if you have 3 microphones and they each "know" precisely where the other sensors are in relation to themselves, then system they're connected to can calculate how far away the source of the "boom" was based on the separation in time when each one heard it

feel free to correct me on any of this
