The fog of war is extra thick on this one.

In my opinion, What do we know with 90% certainty? A F15 was downed and one of two rescue missions attempted.

50%? A second rescue op was conducted

0.1%? How many people on each side were killed in this series of events.

In the ukraine conflict people wait for video or sat proof. We're getting very little actual proof from either side. It's a mess!

Nerd time. Hump yards or hump shunting is when they push a rail wagon down a hill and use gravity to push it.

Then there are a bunch of switches to go through to make it go into a particular road.

It then runs into whatever wagon was already there (and automatically couples together).

This impact is very bad for wagon mounted equipment and sensitive cargo.

I hate hump shunting. So I agree with this post. DO NOT HUMP.
