Russia Says Syrian Forces Intercepted 71 Of 103 Launched Missiles, Announces Possible S-300 Systems Deliveries To Syria

A screenshot from the video

The US, the UK and France launched 103 missiles on Syria last night, 71 of them were shot down by Syrian forces, Head of the Russian General Staff Main Operations Department Sergey Rudskoy announced during a short press briefing on April 14.

“Syria’s means of air defense: S-125, S-200 air defense systems, [as well as] Buk and Kvadrat units were used in the repelling the missile strike,” the Russian Defense Ministry said.

Rudskoy added that no missiles had entered into the zone of responsibility of the Russian Air Defense Forces and Russian air defense system had not responded to the attack.

He described the US strikes on Syria as a response to the recent achievements of the Syrian Arab Army in restoring Syrian territorial integrity and combating the terrorism.

As a resulf of the event, Russia will consider S-300 air defense systems deliveries to Syria and “other countries.”

The Russian Defense Ministry’s press briefing:

US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis described the 2018 strikes on Syria as “harder” than those in 2017.

“Right now this is a one time shot and I believe it sent a very strong message,” Mattis said during a press briefing in the Pentagon.

He added that the US may consider further attacks against the government of Bashar Assad “should he decide to use more chemical weapons in the future.”

SF recalls that on April 12 the Defense Secretary officially said that there had been no evidence confirming that the Assad government was behind the April 7 Douma incident.

Since then, no inveistigation has been conducted by the US and OPCW inspectors have not visited Douma.

At last! S300 to Syria

Joe

Because all these while Russia did not want to offend their supposed friend Israel .

Now Israel made the first mistake to anger Russia in this stage by giving the first salvo … this is payback.

That is your assumption. Comments like many of you in this line you do show you to be not only completely ignorant of real life and what is happening around you, but also as though you so desperate you need someone to take you out of your misery.

How WW3 sound to you? An acceptable means to solve all your problems?

FlorianGeyer

I think you misunderstand what Joe said. As I understood it , Joe said that deployment of S300’s to Syria and other countries will be an unwelcome unintended consequence for Israel and indeed the US Coalition of Terror.

More S300’s to Iran and even some to Lebanon perhaps :)

Problem is the idiots who blame Israel , or America, or France, for the action of the globalists who actually rule us.

confuses the fact, clouds the brains of the herd.

Harold Smith

So if some country invaded your country and slaughtered your family, for example, you wouldn’t blame the invaders, per se, but the invisible force that controls them?

David Parker

Good point, but at the same time it is never going to stop until we stop using the globalists paper money and flush them out into the open until God finally takes them to the eternal hell prepared for the devil and his angels.

Nod

I never said that. Sure I would in some form. But I would be a useful idiot to seek vengeance on the drone.. And I would know it. Many do not. I certainly would shoot back at any invader to protect our families,

But I would not forget who sent them….that understanding, can never be muddied by spin.

Harold Smith

LOL! You clearly implied it.

NO, you assumed it.. I explained it, now you argue with me about my mindset…

Oh no, I already do understand you perfectly.

“Harold beLIEves that fact isn’t real”

You wouldn’t know “fact,” Shlomo, if your boyfrind shoved it up your ample jewish ass.

“and science isnt real”

And if it wasn’t for your dishonest jew drivel, Shlomo, you’d have nothing to say.

“He also beLIEves that his subjective reaction to my comments, are fact.

My “subjective reaction” to your childishly ignorant jew drivel is far more “factual” than anything you could vomit out here, knucklehead.

“Not the sharpest knife in the drawer..”

Well of course you’re not. I appreciate your candor, but your mental and moral shortcomings are already self-evident.

Too funny, because I am more intelligent than you, can think rationally, and do not hate, unlike you, you call me, a 4th generation, British Scottish descended white man from rural Canada, as a Jew.

Were I Muslim, or Jewish, or Frenchman, or Swiss man, I would be no different.

And a thinker, rather than a hater, unlike you with your open hate and prejudice against homosexuals, Jews, and reasonable thought processes.

You are out of your league dimwit. That is why you revert to arguments surrounding speculation, assumption, scripture, and ad hom, rather than reason.

Harold Smith

“Too funny, because I am more intelligent than you, can think rationally, and do not hate, unlike you,”

You’re a liar; on the contrary, you’re an ignorant, arrogant, totally self-absorbed, mentally and morally defective fool. And of course you “hate”; your tribe invented “hate.” Your hatred for truth is second only to your hatred of anyone who disagrees with your mindless jew drivel.

“you call me, a 4th generation, British Scottish descended white man from rural Canada, as a Jew.”

You’re obviously a jew (thus you’re a liar), so I called you a jew.

“And a thinker, rather than a hater, unlike you with your open hate and prejudice against homosexuals, Jews, and reasonable thought processes.”

On the contrary, you wouldn’t know a “reasonable thought process” if your boyfriend shoved it up your ample jewish ass, goofball.

“You are out of your league dimwit.”

Generally, I try to avoid wasting time arguing absurdities with animated dog shit such as yourself, preferring instead reasonable discussion with other humans, but sometimes it happens. I’m sorry to take you away from stinking up the sidewalk.

“That is why you revert to arguments surrounding speculation, assumption, scripture, and ad hom, rather than reason.”

LOL! Well look who’s talkin’; the dishonest jew liar who immediately dismisses anything that doesn’t comport with his dishonest jew drivel.

I cited credible jewish sources in support of my position, i.e., that “communism” is a Satanic jewish fraud, but in your infinite arrogance, ignorance, stupidity and dishonesty, you dismissed it all as mere unimportant words on paper. Sorry Shlomo, but there’s nothing more “reasonable” than the candid words of Satanic jewish-supremacist, communist madmen.

Now, why don’t you run along, little Shlomo, and get back to your Talmudic studies before your Mommy finds out you’re at the computer again.

“You justify your hate based bullshit on Jews based on statements of other haters. How sad someone like you can be so twisted by hate.”

You’re just another typical jew liar. There are no more hateful creatures in this world than you judenfilth.

Let’s see, you don’t believe in God, you know absolutely nothing about the Bible, but you’re going to quote it?

“You post opinion as fact.”

You’re just another typical jew liar. Give me an example of an “opinion” I stated as a “fact”.

“You are truly, a stupid man, incapable of seeing that in yourself.”

Coming from an ignorant, arrogant, imbecilic, dishonest piece of animated dog shit such as yourself, that’s a nice complement. Thanks, chump.

Nod

I would never choose any religion. Belief is a destructive force. It destroys free will and free thought. It destroys thinking and critical thought.

Nod

Perfect example of the problem with blame, is demonstrated by the reaction to the false flag called 911.

They convinced the fluoridated herd in America, that 19 Muslims with box cutters took down 3 buildings through the path of most resistance,,,with 2 airplanes.

The fluoridated herd blamed Muslims, and have been happily murdering Muslim since that day. It is a war crime to murder some, for the actions of others. Over 2 million now dead.

And they call themselves exceptional.

David Parker

True, the globalists direct, but it is their lackeys who kill. It is the bullets and bombs and gas of the proxy armies that people have to survive.

Nod

Sure you are correct., but can you blame people for being trained stupid? medicated stupid, brainwashed stupid ? Blame itself fixes nothing.

Only fix, is to change the policy. As much as I detest the moronic soldier who wants me to call him a hero for murdering women and children in the middle east…I cannot blame him for being a fluoridated moron, for living in a fucked up world where the jobs are so scarce, many join the military to pay the mortgage. Sanity requires they accept the official narrative on why they do it.

PTSD, is the regret, the reality, the horror of what they did, without thinking it through.

environment dictates the behavior of the human chimp. Globalists and their so called doctors know it better than anyone.

Harold Smith

“Sure you are correct., but can you blame people for being trained stupid? medicated stupid, brainwashed stupid ?”

Yes, you can and should blame them. By your apparent “reasoning” nobody is responsible for the evil that they do, not even the people at the top for that matter.

But the reality of the situation is that they allowed themselves to get into that condition. (Read Genesis 3).

“Blame itself fixes nothing.”

Be realistic; you cannot fix any problem unless you first acknowledge that there is a problem. And if nobody can be “blamed” then impliedly there is no problem, right?

We better start meting out “blame” where it’s due because at this point all life on earth is at stake.

Nod

maybe you need to think harder.

fix the system that creates the horrors.

1- “In the modern economy, most money takes the form of bank deposits. But how those bank deposits are created is often misunderstood: the principal way is through commercial banks making loans. Whenever a bank makes a loan, it simultaneously creates a matching deposit in the borrower’s bank account, thereby creating new money” http://www.bankofengland.co… “

Harold Smith

You’re being silly. First, it’s not the “system” that murders people; rather, immoral people murder people. And what do “banks” have to do with Satanic evil? A bank is an abstraction, not a sentient being with a moral choice.

Second, what exactly is your relevant point about 9/11? I didn’t blame Muslims for 9/11 and murder them, the Satanic judeo-communist dictatorship masquerading as the U.S. “government” did that.

*Righteous* blame for an atrocity is something which exists (or which should exist) despite and independent of the false witness and the transparent lies of the Satanists that control the government.

Nod

You said, “You’re being silly”

this is ignorance disguised as knowledge, portrayed with ad hom..

You said, “rst, it’s not the “system” that murders people; rather, immoral people murder people. ”

The system is immoral. So anyone playing in it is immoral. We pay young men to murder people for profit and materialism. We take as much as we can from the system b uilt around that idea, that inequality is moral, and greed and envy are normal. And fook the rest. Everyone, and you bible thumpers are no different.

You said, ” And what do “banks” have to do with Satanic evil? A bank is an abstraction, not a sentient being with a moral choice.

A bank is a real entity. A bank, controls the credit of persons and governments. This allows banks, to control governments. This allows bankers to enslave you for decades paying off ponzi debt, with interest. The bankers, are globalists. They told us so. Time and time again. The fact you are ignorant of our monetary system, does not change it.

Satan is a figment of your imagination. Nothing more.

The idiotology you exist in works on inequality, which in itself, is immoral. The mindset that my needs are more important than theirs, allows the morons to justify imperialism. There is nothing moral about dog eat dog.

You said “econd, what exactly is your relevant point about 9/11? 9/11 didn’t happen by itself, right? Somebody did it, and the people that did it are morally culpable and deserve blame for it, no? “”

911 happened, to further globalism. Nothing more relevant than that.

911 happened, because we allow a corrupt socio economic paradigm built around ponzi debt and inequality. This allowed globalists to amass the power required to drive the world into chaos as they have done.

You said, “I didn’t blame Muslims for 9/11 and murder them, the Satanic judeo-communist dictatorship masquerading as the U.S. “government” did that.”

You babble communist here, like it is relevant. Clearly you need some sociology lessons. Communism is about sharing. That isn’t what you live under. You live in a fascists state. Not a communist. Get a dictionary.

And anyone living in the USA did 911, because it is still happening.

You seem to think beLIEf is fact. It isnt.

Harold Smith

You’re being silly again. (Of course that’s “ad hominem” but you don’t really expect to be taken seriously, do you?)

“The system is immoral. So anyone playing in it is immoral. We pay young men to murder people for profit and materialism.”

LOL! A “system” is an abstraction; it is only people who do evil. To put it another way, if there were no evil people willing to participate, there would be no evil system. Why can you not understand that?

Once again, a “bank” is not a sentient being with a moral choice. Only people do evil and no amount of your hand-waving can change that.

“911 happened, to further globalism. Nothing more relevant than that.”

9/11 happened because evil people did it. Period. The end.

“911 happened, because we allow a corrupt socio economic paradigm built around ponzi debt and inequality. This allowed globalists to amass the power required to drive the world into chaos as they have done.”

9/11 happened because a coterie of devil-worshiping jewish-supremacist madmen thought that they could subsequently overthrow the U.S. constitution, consolidate power in the executive branch, erect a domestic police state, and set about using U.S. military, economic and political power to forcibly impose their Satanic, messianic judeo-communist “New World Order” on the whole planet.

“Satan is a figment of your imagination. Nothing more.”

Satan is a spiritual force of evil originating in the spiritual realm that affects human behavior. This evil force is apparently just as real as the analogous unseen force of gravity, which originates in the physical realm and affects bodies that have mass.

“You babble communist here, like it is relevant. Clearly you need some sociology lessons. Communism is about sharing. That isn’t what you live under. You live in a fascists state. Not a communist. Get a dictionary.”

ROTFL! Communism is about “sharing”? Seriously? You don’t know very much about the subject, do you? On the contrary, communism is a Satanic jewish political ideology designed and intended as a “spiritual jihad” against God.

“The triumph of fascism will be the triumph of the communist soul. But the communist soul is the soul of Judaism. Hence it follows that, just as in the Russian revolution the triumph of communism was the triumph of Judaism, so also in the triumph of fascism will triumph Judaism” (Rabbi Harry Waton, A Program For Jews And Humanity, p143, Astoria Press, 1939).

Harold Smith

You’re supposed to be looking at your monitor, not your mirror, as you type your infantile drivel, Junior.

Harold Smith

Okay so you pasted a simple, brief, general, almost useless dictionary definition of communism. What’s your point?

Belief in God is the basis for good government based on the concept of God-given natural rights, the recognition of which impliedly limits government power.

If in some society somewhere an individual is not allowed to own property, e.g., land and shelter, then that society is anti-God since it does not recognize that individual’s God-given natural right to exist.

In such a [communist] society, only “the state” has a right to exist not the individual. The individual exists only at the discretion of “the state” to serve “the state.” IOW under communism, “the state” is “God”.

Karl Marx didn’t ideate his “communist manifesto” because he was some kind of an egalitarian; rather, he apparently did it because he hated God.

I hope that clears some things up for you.

Nod

“Okay so you pasted a simple, brief, general, almost useless dictionary definition of communism. What’s your point?”

only a moron thinks that is what rules the planet, or the USA,. Communism cannot exist alongside a socio economic paradigm built around inequality.

Communism is just another jewish fraud. The fundament of communism is not “equality” but unlimited, unaccountable state power.

“We dont need a god to live by the natural right of freedom to choose absent harm to others.”

If you don’t have God you will have Satan; pick one.

“socialism, and communism, have nothing to do with your god delusions….what ever you say people thought.”

You’re either being dishonest, or you know nothing about the subject. Communism has nothing to do with egalitarianism and everything to do with the calculated defiance of God.

YOU SAID “The jewish collective (i.e., your tribe) seeks to impose communism on the whole world. Obviously, the U.S. has already been largely conquered.”

You are just too fucking stupid to think clearly. Fascism is the consolidation of power in the hands of a dictators, or as in our case a group of corporate dictators. You deny the dictionary term for communism, and then apply it incorrectly to describe the ideology which rules you, only because you cannot get over previously indoctrinated beLIEfs against the “commies”.

Romans 13 Submission to Governing Authorities

13 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. 4 For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.”

6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing.

“Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the cruel.” (1 Peter 2:18)

Because, apparently, the S-400 are only for Russia’s enemies, not for Russia’s allies.

Barba_Papa

Maybe because Russia doesn’t have the money to give away expensive new toys? But as they themselves replace older systems with newer S400’s maybe some older S300’s now become available? And if upgraded S-200 and Buk missiles can still pose a major headache to IDF, American and vassal aircraft with the proper air defense network, then the newer S300’s will pose a major headache to them.

You can call me Al

Why would they give it away ?….take half of the Omar field once liberated.

Java Ape Timelord

As I understand it, the S400 is overkill for the situation, the missiles are more expensive, etc. S300 and S200 are more appropriate.

as

BUK, Pantsir, S125, S200, S300 missiles are already plenty effective against standard multirole aircraft’s and subsonic cruise missiles. S400 designed as an anti ballistic and anti strategic weapons such as stealth aircraft and high altitude bombers.

Watching some of the videos of missile take-downs that are now starting to appear, I think the Russians were deploying some new, as yet unknown, short range anti-missile systems. There’s one video in particular that is an INSTANT streak of light from the ground to the incoming object, which is then clearly destroyed, but not in a classic explosion. Other videos show conventional ground to air missiles with the expected ‘firework’ explosion, so the light streak one is definitely odd.

Here’s the thing. The french ensured the russians knew the targets in Damscus ahead of time- they’ve now said this. So the “last critical seconds” anti-missile systems usually found on russian ships and airfields could have been placed in damascus for live fire testing- given the kremlin knew exactly where the missiles were inbound. This ‘naval’ situation would make for a VERY interesting counter defense, and I think that’s a lot of what happened last night.

Temp power outages could have been caused by weapons connected to the grid with massive electrical power draws when firing. I now think a lot more than we’ll ever know was happening behind the scenes, and ultra elite russian special forces were getting to play with some very secret toys.

Don’t get me wrong- I don’t forgive Putin for allowing Russia to be backed in a corner- and no amount of ‘toys’ will prevent the political machinations of a coalition invasion forcing Russia out of Syria- but putting that aside for a moment I now think we may have had a limited ‘win’ this time.

“There’s one video in particular that is an INSTANT streak of light ”

pls show me a link to the video you are talking about.

“So the last few seconds anti-missile systems usually found on russian ships and airfields could have been placed in damascus for live fire testing- given the kremlin knew exactly where the missiles were inbound.”

The Kremlin? That would had been the GRU, even if real life warfighting functioned in the sensationalistic, japanese manga, screamed way you think it works.

the only thing notable about this attack is that western countries stayed well far away from Russian red lines, thus Israel will not be happy at all.

Truth hurts

Russia is also testing it’s defence capabilities in a real battle space. Honestly I guess the Russians are now familiar with tomahawks. Very soon they will tell the world how they are going to further twik their technology based on this real life experience.

Antikapitalista

Russia did not test anything, except the patience of its allies.

Russia idly stood by, while its ally was attacked.

Rather, a sign of dumbness. They were cringing in their holes, apparently. After their promises and threat turned out to be false, definitely a sign of cowardice and colossal stupidity.

Please read this to realize this may only be the first salvo to deplete Syria’s anti-aircraft munitions and that Russia may waiting to defend against the higher quality munitions. We havn’t seen any nukes yet. Maybe Israel is looking for the opportunity to unleash those. It aint’ over until it is over.

Because Russia has intelligent people deciding what to do. Emotional knee jerk reactions inviting an escalation do not help.

Rather, maintaining the economic drain of trying to overthrow Syria while failing, is exactly what they should do. Did.

Antikapitalista

You fucking moron, a counterattack was EXPECTED, so it would have been a RATIONAL response, but in a knee-jerk reaction, Russia in a knee-jerk response again shitted its pants and made LAUNCHING CRUISE MISSILES AGAINST A SOVEREIGN COUNTRY A NEW RULE ON FALSE AND TRUMPED-UP CHARGES A NEW RULE OF INTERNATIONAL ENGAGEMENT.

Wow this is the first post where you have actually been generous to Russis without the usual vitriol. You said prior that Russia is on the ropes & had taken a body blow. Do you take that back now. If upto 70% of missiles were indeed shot down then Russia was right not to respond & escalate the situation. These strikes were nothing more than a few mosquito bites, in the bigger picture will have no effect on the war. Trump just put on a good PR show for back home.

Real Anti-Racist Action

My thought on the matter is that, if Syria shot down 71 OF 103 (which is a higher success rate then Israel achieves) then Syria would have no need for further anti-air systems and Russia could claim victory. However if Syria’s anti-air systems failed to defend sites, then Russia would be thinking (crap, we have to rush out better systems immediately as the current ones under-performed)

Antikapitalista

It is all crap. If Russia had ever been serious about it, Russia would have supplied them in 2013, in response to the Israeli attacks on a warehouse with P-800 missiles and other sites.

Listen, you idiot, Russia has declared that whatever Russia says, is nothing more than idle talk, not worth the West’s attention, even Russia’s threat of war are empty.

Thus, there will be a war (not just a limited confrontation),… because the threats have been proven to be empty.

It was also necessary for the US to have the two vassals as part of the illegal attacks, literally hours before the OPCW was due to visit the site of the alleged gas attack.

One would have thought that the ‘ certainty that it woz Assad wot didit ‘ described by the US, French , Brits, would have been a reason to wait for the OPCW report :)

given that we are talking about tomahawks its a big success….and maybe some air to ground long range missiles as well launched from far far away (Israeli recipe). the toms are flying very low so any normal radar system cant truck them…..so only coastal defence radar systems can ‘see’ their launch (maybe if they are near) but then they vanish……i think it was a huge pantsir party yesterday night…..

João Leston

Just read all your comments, at least most of them, and i can summarise them like this “Russia must attack eveyone because they will look powerfull, but they’re guns are just for show. All they can spend money now is in Vodka”. Strong stuff.

Well you are obviously getting paid for saying shit, you will get good profit :D

Antikapitalista

I do keep re-reading them.

You ought to learn something about how this world works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Glasl%27s_model_of_conflict_escalation

Russia, because of its colossal incompetence, has jumped from stage 1 to stage 7. That is just one step before the final destruction… which will inevitably come precisely because Russia has been enabling it through incompetence.

You are the one who ought to stop taking that shit, as it apparently severely impairs your mental abilities.

I never said or wrote that “Russia must attack everyone”. That is something that only you made up.

I said/wrote that Russia must respond to the attacker. I wrote that Russia ought to have conter-attacked in cases when Russia’s allies have been REPEATEDLY ATTACKED and after Russia’s MULTIPLE WARNINGS/COUNTER-THREATS ABOUT A COUNTERATTACK, A POSSIBILITY OF WAR, etc.

And I stand by that assertion that “their guns are just for show”. Because next time Russia will be the target. And then it will be too late. Because weapons ought to be mainly for deterrence. This was a perfect example for deterrence of Russia’s enemies. Even the U.S. leadership said that it did not want a war with Russia.

But Russia’s weapons are not for deterrence—for deterrence from war. They are, apparently, only for parades. Therefore the chance that Russia will finally have a war, only grows with such incompetent approaches and decisions (or non-decisions?).

Not only the West’s appetite for attacks on Russia will increase after this, it is actually Russia’s incompetence and cowardice that is whetting the West’s appetites for further attacks on Russia.

João Leston

Hahah xD you really are earning your dollars :) the USA use DEFCON btw. Did you just heard the diplomats at the UN council? It was just this “hit” that was allowed by your friend Russia. They are all “mission accomplished” xD excellent news for us all (except you, but keep doing your job)

The radar part and is connected to the Pantsirs. The S300-400 who arrived in Syria was only for protecting the Russians facilities. And is not a matter of economics is a matter of strategy.

schiamachy

Angelo while the USA is interfering in countries like Syria to assist Israel it should be recognized that this support is in the strategic interest of the USA elites. The USA can use Israel to do its dirty work like illegal assassinations, illegal bombing, illegal land theft and then the USA uses its veto to prevent any sanctions against Israel especially when Israel is working on behalf of the USA. Israel keeps the Arab States and Iran and Turkey at each others throats so that they cannot work together to make the Middle East another powerful Bloc that could threaten the USA hegemonic control of the region. The USA has been doing this in South America too, for many years as it does with India and Pakistan. The control imposed by the USA has been slipping in recent times and particularly since the rise of China. I think that in the near future the influence of the USA and its allies will be surpassed by new trading blocs and that is why their attempts at subversion and direct violence is forced into more and more irrational behaviour and this is becoming more obvious to us all. Many more citizens in the West are getting fed up with this manic spreading violence created by the crumbling Empire. What we all need, and that includes the working people in the USA, is for the election of rational, honest and peaceful members of the Congress, the Senate and the Presidency who will stand up to and replace the Deep State Neocons with men and women who accept that much more can be done by peaceful negotiation than by the barbaric and backward violence imposed on the world by military and secret service agencies that serve the insanely wealth and power seekers at the expense of everyone else.

jerry hamilton

” the election of rational, honest and peaceful members of the Congress, the Senate and the Presidency” But this is America. These people do not exist. America is a nation of fighters and warmongers.

S400 is an anti ballistic missiles and anti stealth aircraft. For these standard multirole aircraft and subsonic cruise missile S300 and S200 already effective enough. S400 missiles are way too expensive for low level interception.

jerry hamilton

Yes. Now stop shouting.

Xanatos

All these strikes are accomplishing is helping Syria get effective air defense systems.

Israeli strategy backfired.

Barba_Papa

Israeli strategy always backfires. That’s because they don’t have any, other then mow the lawn.

ghartwell

Never underestimate your enemy. Israel is one of the most technologically advanced nations and competes with Russia on the level of scalar energy and other energy weapons. Check out Judy and how they ‘dustified’ the World Trade Center. Israel has one of the best intelligence networks in the world. Israel has high capacity to penetrate the electronic systems of nuclear plants as in Iran and Japan (Fukishima).

Barba_Papa

There’s a difference between highly capable and having a good long term strategy. There is no denying that Israel is highly capable militarily, and through its control of the US even more so. And yet , when examine Israeli foreign policy you see no long term strategy other then mowing the lawn. Every time a threat emerges they throw everything they have at it with no regard whatsoever for the potential consequences. Which are often the rise of an even greater more determined fanatical foe. Israel’s meddling in the Lebanese civil war and the 1982 invasion may have caused the expulsion of the PLO, but it also caused the rise of Hezbollah, which is infinitely more of a danger then the PLO ever was. Netanyahu’s attempt to neutralize Arafat and the Palestinian authority in the 90’s allowed Hamas to rise and then actually gain power. Their obsession with getting rid of Saddam, which culminated in the Americans doing the dirty work for them, turned Iraq into an ally of Iran and created the Shia crescent. And their attempt to get rid of Assad now actually has Iranian forces in Syria.

Like I said, they have zero long term vision other then getting rid of the current problem. They think that their military might will be there forever. When history has shown again and again that no military superpower lasts forever. At some point it will lose that edge, and when its enemies get their shit in order its going to be game over.

ghartwell

Oh. Then I am wrong. Wait a moment. Didn’t Israel train and set up Hezbollah. Israel knows exactly what it is doing and it is evil. The gradual genocide within Palestine is clearly policy. They know exactly WTF they are doing and how to get others to implement a lot of it.

They say, “If one fights with a mad person, people won’t differentiate the two.” Thanks Russia for being the sane one between this madness. You once again ‘ve saved the world with your sober mind. Unfortunately, these bullies think the world is weak by not following their rotten minds. I’m sure one day, it will be to their shock when the world will have enough of their bullying and retaliate without mercy?

Vitex

Seems like the Russians are keeping their powder dry. Seems like they have networked the Syrian air defences based on current Syrian assets to make them into a functional force, but have decided not to reveal the capacity of pantsir or S300 – probably because every SIGINTEL officer in the west happened to be listening at the time

Rex drabble

Russia and Syria were ready for this! Trump will be pissed now,may not be the end yet.

Promitheas Apollonious

More like scared than pissed their shock and awe did not work and got a taste what will happen when their senseless aggression it is answered back. An intelligent strategist always first measure the power and abilities of an opponent before answering him back in kind.

Their best weapons barely manage to pass a very old anti missile system with very limited range and they began to understand that 20th century weapons do not wash out in 21st century and it is all they have.

30-50 years old technologies that may work in countries that are defenseless but not against a real modern army. Syria face them with the same technology they using and succeeded in embarrassing them and show that are not what they like to think they are.

lets see the second round how well will go for those morons.

Antikapitalista

Seems like the Russians have shitted their pants.

Yep, “not revealing the capacity of their weapons”—that is the stupidest apology that could ever be made! (Especially after doing live-fire exercises a few days before.)

Russian weapons are for military parades, not for war. Maybe because the funds have been embezzled and spent of vodka.

Magnus La Magne

This is not about shitting pants and killing more of them then they kill of us. It is about humanity growing up and leaving war behind us by acting responsibly. The world can clearly see ‘the West’is not capable of doing that. Now it is up to China, Russia and Iran to put this raging bull to rest. Try to love your enemy and turning the other cheek. Putin and the Russians are very very brave. If you are really an anti-kapitalist try harder to understand their position.

Antikapitalista

You must be fucking crazy!! :-o

Russia§s enemies are escalating the war, Russia plays and accomplice, INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE BEING KILLED in the course of this, and you keep babbling about “humanity growing up” when Russia looks the other way when not only ACTS OF WAR, but also the SUPREME INTERNATIONAL CRIMES (of aggression) and are committed?!

Are you just trolling here, trying to harm the Russians even more?

TURNING THE OTHER CHEEK DOES NOT WORK. It has also been formally confirmed in computer simulations.

What really works is the “dog approaches”—either the “big dog approach” (what the West is doing—biting whomever they can), or the “little dog approach” (refraining from biting first, but unconditionally responding to bites—which Russia ought to have done but miserably failed to do).

After all, Russia has been turning the other cheek… and this is what such an attitude has brought it about.

A few years ago this would be unimaginable. Even sanctions against Russia would be unimaginable. Now they are the order of the day.

Nobody will care a fuck what Russia says anymore.

They are not brave, they are just incompetent cowards who have been cornered and rid of their allies because of their past incompetence, so they are now just shitting in their pants

If they ever do anything, it will not be not out of bravery, but under the pressure of sheer desperation. Because they are incompetent cowards.

Antikapitalista

That is a Jain symbol, you moron!

The Russians/Soviets were so “heroic” in WW2, that they lost at least 21600000 of their own people—mainly due to the incompetence of the their leadership—while the Germans lost only a mere 3000000, less than 1/7.

And the Russians still celebrate it to this day…

Volker Burkert

As a German I am grateful to the Russians and their Soviet brothers to have saved the world from the Nazis. The fact that they sacrificed over 20 Millions of their own people in that struggle shows their determination in repelling any aggression against their country and against humankind.

Antikapitalista

Well, but they did it out of desperation, not heroic effort.

My point is that they lost so many people because they had almost as incompetent as they are now. In fact, now they are even more incompetent.

Volker Burkert

Well, they were “competent” enough to throw napoleon and his grand army out of Russia and annihilated it, and they were “competent” enough to throw out Hitler’s “invincible” army and nearly annihilated it. Yes, that was long time ago but, if you know some Russians you will learn that they have a long memory, they are very patient before they react to aggressive behavior, but when they do it is with fury.

Antikapitalista

With Napoleon… maybe. With Hitler—definitely not!

Their casualties were more than 7-times higher than the Germans’.

And if you want to draw the line from there, they as well may lose the next war simply by being completely annihilated.

Hitler was only stopped before Moscow and only with a good deal of luck as well.

Thus, it looks like the Russians have no memory. When it comes to the fury, a lot more of them will unnecessarily die… simply because of their past incompetence and mindless retreat from their positions. Like this one—from the position of international law.

That is not a strategy for survival.

jerry hamilton

The truth about the Nazis is very different to what we have been told.

FlorianGeyer

Exactly . Exuberant emotions to not win wars. Cols calculations do.

Antikapitalista

The Russians have pretty much lost the war against Russia already.

Based on a cold calculation, that launching sites should have been attacked, or at least destroyed.

Simply because Russia is in the right. If you condone illegal behaviour and let your rights undermine, it will only an invitation of further illegal behaviour on a larger scale.

Putin is the chess master of world politics. This is his move in response to US belligerence. His pieces are in place in Syria and Lebanon with China and Iran moving into place. Control of middle Eurasia on the Grand Chessboard is the end-game objective in alliance with China, Iran, Syria and the SCO controlling south and east Asia. Invoking international law further delegitimizes his opponent and establishes the moral advantage. It is a simple move that paralyzes the US without exposing itself as a flagrant outlaw. Putin has painstakingly adhered to legal boundaries, earning the respect of the world. By not responding impetuously he earns the relief of the world. Russia is showing maturity in stark contrast with the West, and is simply providing Syria with upgraded weapons. Even without S-300 much less S-400 systems, Syria downed 71 of 103 missiles launched – an important test. With these pending upgrades the US will look even weaker, and no war can be won without ground forces, now routed. The US lost world respect with Abu Ghraib and will never regain it, and an empire cannot survive without implicit consent of its subjects based on some benefits, not simply submission to force. The only beneficiaries of US empire have been corrupt, implanted rulers, against which the entire non-aligned developing world is revolting. Turkey, a switch-hitter, started with the West and its jihaddists and is now turning its eyes eastward. It is the canary in the coal mine.

Antikapitalista

He is a clown in shitted pants.

The move to the U.S. belligerence would be to target the launchers, as the U.S. does it.

That would make him a man.

What drugs have you been taking?!

Putin has not “painstakingly adhered to legal boundaries”—far from that. Putin has actually been an accomplice in uprooting them.

Russia is not “showing maturity”, Russia is showing *asinine childishness*.

Maturity would mean making good on your words.

Of course, the U.S. will never look weaker, it will only look stronger with every such action.

What Russia is doing is painstakingly apologizing its impotence. Nothing more.

You wrote this: “… and an empire cannot survive without implicit consent of its subjects… ” And Russia is manufacturing that consent in every possible way.

Apologies do not win wars. Russia could have put a stop to this, exacting a price for breaking the norms. But Russia says that this was basically O.K, “business as usual”.

Nobody wants to work or be associated with morons, perhaps with the exception of other morons.

Mario Ceva

USA French GB attack was very weak. A stupid move

Antikapitalista

The attack was quite powerful, but the message that both sides sent was even more powerful.

The West got it message that it could do whatever it pleases, and with total impunity at that.

Russia got its message that… its messages and alliance are not worth a shit.

Mario Ceva

Why the West not follow with more attacks??

jerry hamilton

Because Russia would have annihilated them.

Antikapitalista

Because they are saving it up for Russia. Russia is the real target.

And Russia is provoking it now that the West knows that it has nothing to fear, it will continue to “boil the Russian frog” until there will be a hit war—with former Russian allies taking the front line against Russia because they have found out that Russia affords no protection, so they have switched the sides and they will thus be earning the protection from their new masters.

That is how power and politics works. And that is why Russia is reaping huge losses all the time.

And the more Russia is losing it, the stronger drugs the Russian leadershit is taking to offset the harsh reality.

João Leston

This is funny. So russia gives concret data, acts only when has proven facts, and made good on his words (if you recall, putin said they would react if some of they’re instalations or country man were attacked, they’re country man, military specialist and such, are preety much anywhere the syrian army and goverment is). More than that, they prevented a ground attack, put one hell of a show by intercepting 70% of missiles with older technology (hats off to the syrian army) and even got 0 casualities.

But i know what you want. You think that the person that stays quite for not entering in an argument with an idiot is the weaker one. Well it’s not, Russia proved to be the bigger man, by not escalating this to a WWIII (that’s what you want btw) and even got excelent results giving the Syrian army time to breath, prepare and now raising they’re morale.

Antikapitalista, if you don’t understand something, or you are saying this things just to get paid, at least back them up with somethin real.

Antikapitalista

This is not funny.

Russia ought to make good on its promises and attacked the launching sites. As per the Western example.

Now Russia has lost all respect and invited even more escalations of this kind.

Why are you so fucking stupid that you cannot learn from the past?!

Last year, Russia made a condemnation. That was too little, but still understandable.

This year, Russia has issued stern warnings. Russia has never issued such stern warnings before. Even Russian politicians were talking about a war more often than Western politicians.

So, a Russian military response and a counterattack was EXPECTED.

E X P E C T E D.

Do you understand the word?

Thus, Russia’s military response and a counterattack was the order of the day. It ought to have happened because it was EXPECTED.

But since Russia failed to act on its promises, it merely provoked further actions of this kind simply because a Russian military response WILL NOT BE EXPECTED NEXT TIME.

Thus, IT WILL MORE LIKELY GET OUT OF CONTROL next time. And there WILL be a next time, but Russia’s means of preventing a further escalation will be limited by its past incompetence.

In other words, if Russia made its threats—which were quite well founded time time—Russia ought to have acted upon them.

Thus, it is Russia that is actually escalating it, by enabling it to escalate.

By failing to act upon its threats, RUSSIA ESCALATED THE WHOLE SITUATION TO THE NEXT LEVEL, where threats will not suffice, they will not be credible and there will be no understanding from the others.

What Russia’s enemies are doing, is patently illegal. But Russia is effectively condoning such behaviour. Thus, with no response, the monstrosity will even grow. As I explained it elsewhere, by persistently displaying such appalling incompetence, Russia has effectively escalated the situation from stage 1 all the way to somewhere stage 7 and stage 8: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Glasl%27s_model_of_conflict_escalation .

When will you, shameless apologists of cowardice and the destruction of international law, finally understand how the world works?!

King's cok

Love ur explanation. Russia has only ended up showing it can only bark but can’t retaliate as putin had threatened and the western world have proved to putin GET DOWN LET’S SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH UR UPGRADES AND THREATS. Yet I still expect some so called intelligent arguist to counter you when they are simply blind and have low perception that Russia will not go to war with any body at this time because it simply has a weak economy and has no finance to do that now. Maybe they also failed to see how Iran and Korea were tamed by world power.

Antikapitalista

That is a ridiculous explanation. Iran and North Korea were tamed precisely because Russia betrayed them. The U.S.A. would never do this to, say, Israel (regarding Israel’s nuclear stockpile).

The corrupt Russians join their enemies in attacks against their natural allies… and then the become the target of their enemies…

Remember, all the effort and faith and and everything else we put in Russia, is CONSISTENTLY RUINED by appalling Russian incompetence.

A sane person cannot support the morons, at least not forever, even their patience and sympathy will be depleted one day.

No intelligent person can ague with me because there is no rational counter-argument, only childish shrieks about WW3 all over the place.

You can call me Al

OK you are on strike 2 now you muppet troll.

jerry hamilton

I blocked him earlier.

You can call me Al

A wise move.

ghartwell

Well said.

João Leston

Thanks. Had to block him tough. Too much barking

Mario Ceva

I dont understand why USA made this attack. They only made more decided Syrians to fight and Russia will send more Pansit and Buk anti air missiles to Syria.

jerry hamilton

Simply to try and save face. It didn’t work.

You can call me Al

Now, that is the underestimate of the month.

jerry hamilton

Looks like you have sobered up. lol

You can call me Al

That’s a little unfair……but accurate.

Stanley

After another chemical false flag attack they will.

Mario Ceva

Yes and Syrian and Russian will be better prepared.

Steve Bell

Ha, a “powerful attack” with minimal damage, 3 injured civilians and a 70% interception rate from old Russian SAMS? Back to your drugs, fart-brain.

You can call me Al

Are you retarded ?

Promitheas Apollonious

obviously.

Java Ape Timelord

So USA and circus attacked Syria, Russia did not use S400 (not really required), no damage was done, apart from buildings that had already been attacked, they were empty. Russia got info on how their attacks and equipment worked, and the circus got zilch. Not a smart move I agree.

The Latin Mass

Two Chabad clowns won’t fight each other. Glory to the SSA, not the Russian clowns.

Antikapitalista, this explains Putin in one article:

ghartwell

You are pulling the trigger of disrespect on Putin and Russian military too soon. You are not privy of the overall strategy of Americans or Russia. You have not considered that this may just be the first salvo. Lets consider the following: 1. ‘An article from RIA Novosti of April 9 reported that Russia has sent 40 Pantsir air defence systems to Syria ahead of the planned US attack that Trump has promised.’ 2. ‘the first waves of cruise missiles will be released in the near future by two destroyers, which are already in the Eastern Mediterranean. “They can fire their old Tomahawks, and after that the US they use smart missiles, as promised by Donald Trump,”‘ 3. ‘The goal is clear – it is necessary that the defending side expend the munitions of anti-aircraft guided missiles (SAMs). After that, apparently, the Americans expect to “fire from other ships with impunity, including from an aircraft carrier,” but that’s not until early May, when it arrives in the region.’ Given this analysis from (http://www.newsilkstrategies.com/military-affairs/how-will-russian-air-defences-fare-against-us-attack-on-syria). I will lose respect for you if you can’t look at the whole battle and if you can’t respect Putin’s ability to plan for the complete war not just the first salvo.

FlorianGeyer

It appears that 71 of the 103 missiles launched were not as ‘smart’ at the ‘Uber smart Trump’ said they were :)

You can call me Al

But they were new and shiny.

FlorianGeyer

I clean forgot that Al, thank you for correcting my omission :)

EoF

Finally, official numbers. Pretty good! Great job.

Juden Devshirme ErdoBot

Macron released the top secret evidence directly from intelligence service regarding Syrian regime and use of chemical weapons. https://justpaste.it/1jlq1

John Whitehot

Turkey was right in saying that the strike would be performed but it would not change anything on the ground.

MasterBlaster7

You can’t fix stupid…..with a cruise missile.

mhtsaropinigitakis

i think (and hope)the zionist puppets and clowns could not just leave without shooting something after they amassed all this shit in med…that was just a show so now they can leave the area with their tails down…imagine them leaving scared without even shooting anything after all this blahblahblah..lets hope this is the end and now they leave…or do something usefull for once and hit turkey ^^

MasterBlaster7

Zionist puppet here. Yah, we may leave…but not because you made us. Because your retarded wars are sooooo retarded we cant stomach that level of stupid anymore; haha.

Veraminow

Like Vietnam?

Looks like frequent wind alright. LOL!

Oscar Silva Martinez

So, Syria a modest third world country with soviet era equipment shot down many new era missiles of the top 3 west super powers with 70% of efficiency??? do you guys know some thing? I’m starting to believe that Putin is way ahead in control of all this and he is just testing The U.S, England and France without even using Russia’s new equipment.

MasterBlaster7

nah…no test. If it was a test, he wouldn’t be losing face over this. I hear he is bitching to the UN right now; hahaahahahah

Oscar Silva Martinez

He is losing NOTHING, it’s quite the opposite and of course the Russians have to bitch to the U.N. because they have to show the world their full support to Syria, this is how politics work, but on the other hand I’m 100% sure that behind doors they are laughing their asses out at The U.S., England and France and their useless attempt to chance the course of this war!!!

Truth hurts

I thought so also

SnowCatzor

They’re not third-world dude, they’re actually a reasonably well-off nation by middle eastern standards. Second-world would be fair.

Hrky75

Getting the good stuff in the hands of Syrians and Iranians will nex time insure plausible deniability for the Russians and prevent things from escalating into a nuclear war, all the while being able to shoot back and giving US run for their money. Not even US MSM presstitutes would be able to claim “new Pearl Harbor” once Syrians start shooting down fresh faced boys from Kansas the Neocons are pimping out to Wahhabi as Al Qaida air force and Zio cannon fodder So not only S300, but also more offensive staff like Kalibrs, Iskanders and Su fighters should be send to Syrians.

Michał Hunicz

Great news that old systems can destroy 70% of all missiles. Hope that it will be a modernised version of S-300.

MasterBlaster7

Pffft. Propaganda. If those old missiles managed to shoot down one cruise missile…I would be impressed. Go look at some of those Russian air-defense missiles going up in the air they are zooming up 5,000-10,000 feet and detonating…..cruise missile flies at hundreds of feet….about they height you can fly a kite……actually you would have a better chance of bringing one down with a kite; haha. They fly so low I’m surprised they didn’t ask you for directions.

Prince Teutonic

They fly low until they are near to designated target then climb up to scan the surroundings and compare it against pre-stored image in memory…

Vas.

Exactly but this idiot above knows nothing about weapons and how cruise missiles work.
