Analysers also pointed out this attack had been conducted for media show with no considerable achievement. Russian experts warned that these attacks are aimed at destroying the evidence on western led chemical attack on Syrian people in East Ghouta during a false flag op.

Instead of shooting down cruise missiles in an futile attempt, they should had tried to shoot down US, Britian and French Jets. Imagine colation jets being shot down and their pilots held captive. That would have meant something. Shooting down 13 cruise missiles out of 125 does not mean a damn thing to the allied forces.

Good for Assad and Syria. These western cowards dared not even send in their ground forces to fight Assad's army.

 

[Rukarl]

Can we please ignore the propaganda on both sides ? Someone please provide FACTS and STATS.

How did the S 400 respond this time?

 

[atan651]

Whatever happened in Syria (unilateral attack, bypassing the UN) today should serve as a proof for N.Korea to keep its nuclear weapons. Once without any nuclear weapons as an equalizer, NK will be at the mercy of these western hegemonists and bullies.

This video says it all:

Syrians launched something in the air but one cruise missile struck a target nearby moments later.

So much for the intercept-related claims. Tomahawk cruise missiles approach their target in terrain-hugging manner.

Cruise missiles were too many for any Syrian defense system to counter. 125 cruise missiles fired from different platforms at few locations, its no brainier that many would still hit targets even if intercepted. Hence my original point that Syrian air defenses instead should had focused on shooting down jets than trying to intercept cruise missiles. A US, French or Brit jet shot down would had a lot more significance than shooting down a cruise missile.

May be the the jets fired missiles from longer ranges out of Syrian SAM's effective range,

The majority of rockets fired in Syria by the UK, US, and France were intercepted by Syrian air defense systems, the Russian Defense Ministry said. Russian air defense units were not involved in repelling the attack.
The warplanes and vessels of the US and its allies launched over 100 cruise missiles and air-surface missiles on Syrian civil and military facilities, the ministry stated.

The strikes were conducted by two US ships stationed in the Red Sea, with tactical air support from the Mediterranean and Rockwell B-1 Lancer bombers from Al-Tanf coalition airbase in Syria’s Homs province, according to the statement.

Syrian Al-Dumayr Military Airport, located 40 km north-east from Damascus, was attacked by 12 cruise missiles, the Russian MoD confirmed, adding that all missiles were intercepted by Syrian air defense systems.

To repel the attack, Damascus deployed Soviet-made surface-to-air missile systems, including S-125 (NATO reporting name: SA-3 Goa), S-200 (SA-5 Gammon), 2K12 Kub (SA-6 Gainful) and Buk.

Russia did not deploy its air defense systems located in Syria to intercept the American, British, and French missiles.

Earlier, the ministry issued a statement saying that none of the missiles launched by the US and its allies reached the Russian air defense zones that shield facilities in the port city of Tartus and Khmeimim Air Base.

Syrian air defenses were scrambled to confront the joint American-French-British intervention that started in the early hours of Saturday. The trio launched a series of strikes on Syria in retaliation for the alleged chemical attack by the Assad government in the town of Douma, 10 kilometers from Damascus, last week. The strikes were announced before a team of investigators from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) was scheduled to reach Douma to determine whether the attack had indeed taken place.

Responding to the US-led airstrikes on Damascus, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that all countries are obliged to “act consistently” with the UN Charter.“There’s an obligation, particularly when dealing with the matters of peace and security, to act consistently with the Charter of the United Nationals and with international law in general.”

i think what they are claiming is that british storm shadows were intercepted not tomahawk... even that is extremely doubtfull...

but on the other hand coalition gained nothing from hitting empty buildings

That makes sense. All cruise missiles are standoff weapons.

 

[T-Rex]

Where is the much awaited Russian response? I guess it was just hot gas produced by the Russian vodka.

 

[Dante80]

Storm Shadow/Scalp EG have a range of more than 500km when flying on a NoE profile. These were attacks against pre-determined stationary targets, there is no way that the Syrian air-defense could have the opportunity to engage the launching platforms (Tornado and Rafale).

They made sure of that.

Chronogically...
-France expressed their interests to be more acive militarily in Syrian conflict.
-Trump expressed their intention to withdraw from Syria to milk Gulf Arab dictators.
-Saudi king expressed They want their masters to stay more in Syria.
-Pentagon expressed they don’t have a plan to withdraw from Syria.
-Russia expressed US presence in Syria is illegal since they don’t fight against anything but occupy territory to stay
-Suddenly, A chemical attack is appeared over civilian population by unknown side.
-US and conflict wannabe France over Muslim lands found a reason to rise their voices to stay in Syria.
-At the end, We saw France and US cruise missile flying over Syria cause of not care the lives of civilian population killed in chemical attack but to measure their egoes/strength against the forces object to their existance in Syria.

While France like US fan states who loves to introduce themselves something special with all arrogancy when they found an opportunity to be active to test their new toys in Syria, the civilian population will be proceeded to be killed by butcher Assad, US sponsored terrorists will control North, Saudi dictators will canalize more money to region for their masters, France will proceed to hide behind US to stay in region And Russia and US will keep measuring their gaps to be Number-1 on region.

I think Turkish Forces will meet with France in N. Syria while hunting the their terrorists, then we will speak again since they want to be frends of PYD terrorists against Turkey as well. I mean Nothing will change. All have their individual roadways. Noone in operation room of strikers cares about civilians. The neighbour countries and Syrian civilians will suffer at all conditions. Take a look They just speak which warships they sent and which model cruise missiles they have launched. It is a show of strength game of West having politic purposes under the name of using so called civilian sensitivity.
