Syrian Air Defense Intercepted 71 Cruise Missiles Launched by West - Russian MoD

I don't think they fired the S400's. As Russia has a limited number of these, it would not be strategically sensible to "waste" them on this attack. But then again I am no military analyst

The S-400 is in Syria and Alexander Zasypkin told the world's press that it would be used to shoot down any incoming attack i.e. last night. There were interceptions as well but most of the videos show the bulk of missiles getting through.

Now the point is that how Russia will respond
Option 1 : shoot some missiles on Israel
Option 2 : Proxy and make Europe week.
Option 3: hit American in iraq.
Option 4 : shoot at sight. (Find US UK and French forces and shoot them)

If it were Chinese I would have expected some response but I don't expect anything from the Russians because in their hearts they know all too well whom they are defending. It's not worth dying or wasting resources for a scumbag.

Ok. Well next time the tyrant ought to attack Russian bases and personnel if he wishes to make sure that the S400 were working or not.

let the dust settle.

anyway,

I am curious, do you agree with the attack which is against International Law?

Good examples in this video:


They are actually Tomahawk cruise missiles passing over and/or striking different targets in Damascus.

@waz

Probably the most clearest video so far and pretty damming evidence as well. From 01.00 you can hear a massive barrage of cruise missiles hitting their targets and from 02.00 it is more select hitting, but with clear ground explosions.

From multiple sources available, i am of the opinion that the following things took place

1) On MBS's insistence, Trump started beating war drums with the bonus of deflecting attention from domestic situation.

2) Macron and May, couldn't resist the temptation of yet another practical military testing field.

3) The chemical attack was in all likely hood a drama, it makes no tactical advantage for Assad to use such weapons when he is already close to victory using conventional methods.

4) As such UN was bypassed, in order to start a war.

5) Russia, most probably, using back channels warned of severe consequences. Most probably some sane US generals would have also warned Trump of the Russian retaliation.

6) Trump needed face saving, Russia needed US to blow off some steam, and thus today happened.

7) Today was not at all a test of Russian S-400's effectiveness.

8) Russian promises. The value of Russian promises has gone down, they shouldn't have made tall claims of securing Syrian skies and retaliating the source of missiles etc as well. They could have said "We are trying to deter a full fledged war using all means available" or something on these lines. Keep it vague.

9) Imagine if Russia/China attacked taiwan/ south korea etc using missiles. Would US have said similar things that we destroyed 70% missiles, lets dance? So Russian defence umbrella has proven to be a bunch of big lies. It will hurt Russian power projection.

10) In the heat of the moment, what if few missiles were fired towards cyprus? Russian prestige would have shot the skies!

11) US, UK and french have wasted their efforts. They are the overall losers in the Syrian game of chess. These stupid displays of military power will not change the ground reality.

12) Assad has practically won. The finishing game is going on. The question is not if but when will entire Syria be under Assad rule.

13) Qatar and KSA can kiss goodbye to their dream of pipelines connecting arabian peninsula to europe.

The end

P.S.:- I am no supporter of Assad, but what i can say for sure is before western backed rebels started an armed civil war, Syria was much peaceful. If syrians want change, the change should come from within without any external power arming the opposition/al qaeeda etc. Furthermore, Assad from a constitutional point of view, has to leave his office permanently by 2021 anyways.

The missile system has a range of 200 miles, it doesn't need to hit Russian bases, just the targets it was meant to protect.
As for the rest, more evidence should have been gathered, but my country has acted so that's that. I'm interested from a military point of view.

Tomahawk cruise missiles reduced their targets to dust and smoldering ruins across Syria.

the S400 is intended for use against aircraft/BM that THREATEN russian forces in syria. obviously that was not the case as no missile entered russian AD covered airspace. syrian pantsir systems were very likely used in the attack as it's currently their only viable defence against CM.

The ball is now in the Russian court but it looks like the the Russian player is exhausted, he cannot strike the ball. He has some kind of nervous breakdown.
