Russian Military Says Idlib School Not Hit by Air Strike, Blames Fake Evidence
“On Thursday, a Russian UAV was directed to the area, to conduct detailed digital photography,” Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said in a statement. “As can be seen from the photos taken by the drone, there are no signs of damage to the roof of the school, or craters from airstrikes around it.”
“We have analyzed the photo and video ‘evidence’ of the supposed attack. The video published in a range of Western media outlets appears to consist of more than 10 different shots, filmed at different times of the day, and in different resolutions that were edited into a single clip,” he added.
“The photograph published by AFP shows that only one wall of the school is damaged, and all the desks inside the classroom are in place. The outer fence seen through the hole has no traces of damage from bomb fragments. In a genuine airstrike this is physically impossible – the furniture would have been swept away by the blast wave, and there would have been damage marks on the classroom wall and the outer fence.”

The Russians have asked the US Military to verify the evidence by releasing pictures from the US MQ-1B Predator UAV that was in the area at the time of the attack. Should be easy enough ...... or will it be yet more evidence withheld for reasons of US’s national security?
This photo shows the damage to the school, that clearly shows this was NOT an aerial attack, nor an attack with ‘bombs’ of any sort ..... ‘barrel’ or otherwise. Just like the UN convoy attack claims, no evidence of craters or damage linked to a bombing.

There was absolutely NO questioning of the original report from The Syrian Observatory of Human Rights or any proper analysis of the videos/photos supplied by the White Helmets. The press, the US, the UK. The EU, the UN and Uncle John Cobbley an’ all just ran with the story! Will we see them apologise or the Press print a retraction?
This is more real evidence that the White Helmets fabricated the story as they did with the UN convoy attack .......... and there are those that believe this White Helmet/SOHR rubbish without question. They must also believe in The Tooth Fairy and Father Christmas.
How much more evidence do people require before they accept that these reports against Russia and Assad are all distortions, unsupported allegations ..... and propaganda? It is a US led political agenda to create any enemy and thus to justify the demonization of Putin and Assad! They have even extended the technique to their own Presidential Election for Killery!
