Syrian Air Defense Activated In Response To Israeli Strike On T4 Airport

ILLUSTRATIVE

Late on January 14 (around 22:00 Damascus time), the Isareli Air Force carried out a strike on the T4 airport in the Syrian province of Homs.

According to pro-Syrian sources, the Syrian Air Defense responded to the strike by downing “a number of of missiles.” Nonetheless, the Syrian side confirmed that at least 4 missiles hit the T4 airport area, but said that the strike caused a material damage only. Pro-Israeli sources claim that multiple ‘Iranian personnel’ were killed in the strike.

The T4 airport is the operational base for Iranian-backed anti-ISIS operations in the central part of Syria as well as hosts a part of Iranian unmanned aerial vehicles deployed in the country.

It wasn’t active before?:))) Why have it then?

d'Artagnan

4 missiles were fired from Lebanese airspace and all were intercepted. Syrian media just showed fragments of missiles and no damage.

Zionist Internet Warrior

no man, it would’ve been easier to intercept if that was the case. However, SANA said the IDF warplanes launched the missiles from Al-Tanf airspace which is only 35-60km away from T4. The Syrian radar operators had little heads up.

Simon Ndiritu

Syria has turned to be a P*ssy country that does not stand up for forces that have helped it eliminate ISIS and Al qaeda

Human kind is doomed

After 8 years of war Syria is a wounded country, with not much of the strength and power and at the same time confronted to a number of wild beasts (USA, Israel, Turkey) What do you think Syria CAN do?

bob

Suffer!

BlueHeadLizard

Yep and Israel keeps winning friends in the neighbourhood.

bob

Judging by the comments on here I’d say theres more chance of hell freezing over

But one can only hope some mad mullahs see sense

Human kind is doomed

Not the smartest answer…

bob

You know your name, well cross out the “Human”part and insert Iran instead and you’ll be doing much better!

Free man

Why should Syria suffer? This war should already be over. It is also an American and an Israeli interest. I am sure that Russia will ensure the security of Syria’s neighbors.

Jimmy Jim

TIME TO BURN SOME KIKERS!

Jake321

Are you some dimwit eating road kill in a shack in WV, Adolf, or just another drunk Putz Putin the Poisoner Troll in a Moscow Troll house waiting for some Chechen to blow you up?

occupybacon

What would be their option in your opinion, strike back at Israel?

Kananda

Yup! the Leviathan complex.

BlueHeadLizard

Good question. So Syria would open up another front. Israel inevitably win so invade more Syria territory on top of Golan Heights and expel the remaining Palestinians in Gaza, West Bank and Israel to this new conquered territory ‘New Palestine’. Syria is prudent not to pick a fight it would loose, at least for now, and focus on its immediate priorities.

Free man

The Russia-Israel agreement allows Israel to attack Iranian forces and respond to anyone who attempts to hit Israeli aircraft. So it is better that the SAA doesn’t intervene.

bob

Who writes this stuff?

Honestly its obvious by now even to a ten year old that Syria doesn’t have an air defence system

I wish they’d send it back to Russia and ask for their money back

Honestly what a bunch of mugs!

Jimmy Jim

get a life asswipe kike loser lol…..

Concrete Mike

Honestly its.obvious , IDF=ISIS AIR FORCE.

These were lob bombs tossed over from lebanon. A cowardly strike that wont change the outcome of the war.

Zionist shills like you will howl for days and make shit up. Your existence is pathetic!

bob

Did you use ready mix by any chance?

Obviously some of it got between your ears, concrete that is!

Hos Ng

On vt there was a great article about how iran took care of the oil thiefs in deir ezzor. Turns out a bunch of 911 type traitors and mercenairies died. Yay.

<>

Goodjob, Iran shall have no peace in Syria.

Jimmy Jim

lol KIKE

<>

LR, I expect us to hit them harder after Gantz wins, Bibi is a chickenshit and that’s all he can do, same vs Hamas. We will deal with our enemies like we know best, first our corrupted government must go, I’m pretty sure in March it’s finally over.

<>

Well hitting Syria is not our first priority, crushing Hamas for good is. Like seriously, they have no where to run and are locked between us and Egypt. One major operation is all it takes to send 20K of them to meet their God, Bibi is afraid to do it. Fine then, let someone else who is willing to do it the option, that fucker doesn’t wanna resign. Civilian casulaties will be part of it too, but it must happen sooner or later – and it will.

<>

20K are only Hamas, 10K is Islamic Jihad. 20-30K in total, still it’s not something that should stop us. We need to act like Russia is doing in Idlib, the IDF casualties won’t be as high as you claim..we will just flatten everything if we have to. Gazans can choose – remove Hamas and face a major Israeli operation that will hurt them too.

<>

Not genocide, they can go into safe zones near the Egyptian border till the operation to remove the terrorists is over. If they choose to stay in the middle of the fighting between us and the Islamists, then they will get hurt inevitably. My prediction is up to 800 dead IDF troops, and maybe dozens more Israeli civilians due to rockets. But after that, we can finally have peace.

<>

Whatever the cost, I take the Russian war in Chechniya as a role model. Israel can not accept them firing rockets whenever they don’t get 15M$ per month Qatari money (Bibi made a deal with them). A war to end the Islamists is the only option, we just need someone with balls like Gantz to lead it.

<>

No problem LR, it’s better to talk here anyways. Gantz has served 40 years in the army, if I need to trust someone with my life – it’s him. Let’s see after March 2nd.

<>

I agree.

Jake321

I wish it wasn’t so.

Jake321

Nahhhhhhhh…but maybe ethnic cleansing.

<>

He is just messing up with you LR, don’t take everything seriously. The facts are if we go inside Gaza to crush Hamas using our full firepower, we will do it and no one can stop us. It just takes an order.

Concrete Mike

If you want to get rid of.hamas, then hit qatar, like seriously.

How pig headed do you have to be? This is all.a show and it will end in a shoah if you dont stop the militarism loop.

That loop is a toilet flushing, and the only way to go is down.

<>

We don’t talk to terrorists – we kill them.

Jake321

And who will bring on a “Shoah,” you, big mouth? Any country or group that ever seriously tried that will make such pretty glow in the dark dust and vapor.

Jake321

Gaza will be flattened well before anything like that happened. And there will be a lot more Palestinians in Europe, Jordan, Egypt and wherever other than Gaza.

truth has no comparable power

Hey buddy.. I do understand that iran and some other countries around your country wish to kill all Jewish people, which is absolutely insane to think like that…. but they are muslims so they are brain washed by their “”suppose religion/Muhammad:”” They have no moral this people who think that all Jews should be killed, I even read a message in previous post . 1 of this so called muslim,he was messaging in his post that he will be happy to kill Jews babies and kids to cut their heads of.. Because of that behaviour Europe hates Iran USA hates iran and so on Religious leaders have no place in our society as country leaders.. When this war in Syria has started they quickly run towards Europe.. why they didn’t run in Saudi Arabia,is a Muslim country or any Muslim countries?? They chose Europe because we are good in our hearts and souls and they like to abuse that. We will eliminate anyone ho wants us harm.. they dont like how we live they should stay the fuck in their countries.. Peace man

rightiswrong rightiswrong

Palestine is their country you ducking European imported POS.

Jake321

But you said the poor Palestinians are gone. So why speak of a non-existent Palestinian country?

rightiswrong rightiswrong

I said no such thing. The Palestinians are clearly still there, occupied by an apartheid force of brutal killers, but they are still there, have been for thousands of years. Long before those wandering barbarians who worship golden calves turned up.

rightiswrong rightiswrong

No one has peace as long as your lot are on the planet.

<>

Then maybe you should move to the moon?

rightiswrong rightiswrong

Go duck yourself, the world did better with Palestinians, your lot are a stain on humanity.

<>

Lesson learnt – you don’t curse me. Blocked number #57.

rightiswrong rightiswrong

You ducking little girl, 57 times, go duck yourself.

A bit thinned skinned, about 4 short ducking pervert.

Jake321

Poor Palestinians. You stated that in the past tense. Stain or not, clear that in your vacuous mind the Israelis are here and the poor Palestinians are gone.

rightiswrong rightiswrong

Don’t be projecting your hopes on to my posts.

The Palestinians are the rightful owners of Palestine. The apartheid force inserted by Britain and the US are there only as long as their foreign backers need them there.

After that, they will be sent back to Europe.

wrong english

Looks fine to me. But maybe it doesn’t translate quite right into your Russian, Igor.

NUKE THE KIKES & SAVE THE PLANET!

Damien C

Guys some of you need to remember

The Syrian government don’t have battalions of S300s strewn all over the place. With limited resources and trained personnel they have to be efficient with what they have available to them. They still use the S200 and several BUK systems from the 1970s-1980s which while still effective as the USA cruise missile attacks can testify are not as accurate as the more modern s300 or s400.

That said accuracy in retaliation against Israeli aircraft is not the issue with any Israeli strike on Syria, it is regional geography that saves the Israeli planes and their pilots. Syria has a mountainous border with Lebanon almost 150 miles long rising in height from 4,500 ft to 12,000 ft The Israeli warplanes fly low out of Israel an into Lebanese airspace along the mountain range once they reach an area that they wish to fire from these planes steep climb to just above the mountain peaks fire their missiles and dart back down behind the mountain range for cover, then return to Israel.

If the Israeli’s send 4 planes (F16s) like they normally do that’s at least 24 missiles to deal with, some are going to get through especially with limited Air defences. Which is why the head choppers are continually flying drones at Syrian and Russian bases to probe the defences. The results and intelligence ends up with the Israelis to aid them in planning further attacks. This pop-up and fire method (shoot and scoot) is the only way Israel conduct operations in Syria they do not enter Syrian airspace at anytime with Israeli identification transponders active, otherwise they would be eliminated as a threat very quickly.

The Israelis have in the past flown through Jordanian and Saudi airspace and into Syrian airspace proper to carry out attacks. However they usually use U.S identification signatures which allows them to fly unhindered as the Syrian Air Defences will have them listed as coalition aircraft.

The Israelis will then launch an attack on Iranian assets and leave. Many hours later once the Israelis are home safe the U.S will deny it was coalition aircraft involved in the attack but they will only make this clear once the Israeli aircraft are free of danger.

Damien C

Israels last three attacks have been with 4 planes, I said that they use Lebanons airspace and mountains for cover in the second paragraph, and when they struck at the Iraqi border they were using US transponders for cover

Leon

If the S300 is totally inefficient, sell them back and buy a few Iskander to reply after each attack ….but I’m not sur Putin will agree.

Damien C

I don’t think anyone anywhere has ever suggested the finest ADS in the world is inefficient

Leon

Never, anywhere has a S300 shot down an aircraft in a real conflict. But what I should have said: if the S300 IN SYRIA is totally inefficient , sell……

Jake321

Whatever. Whatever works and this has been working very well.

Leon

Air defense activated BUT S300 still sleeping deeply.

Zionist Internet Warrior

Yes, because unfortunately the Russians control it.

Kananda

the s-300 is too proud to contact the IL PLANES :d

Rhodium 10

Accord Syrian ministry of defense…4 cruise missile were shot down…one hit the base caused limited damage…during the last Israeli attack vs Damascus….sources told that 2 missile hit target…but it was Debris vs civilians houses..as Pantsir shrapnel blades use to cut the intercepted missile and parts of them continue with the inertia of the flight until they fall to the ground causing sometimes damage.

Zionist Internet Warrior

60% interception rate with BUK/KUB against advanced Delilah cruise missiles is pretty good. However, 80-90% is what the SAA needs to strive towards.

Jake321

And the Islamist Iranian body bags just keep going home, whatever rate you make up.

Zionist Internet Warrior

Hard to believe this is still happening when Syria allegedly received 28 S-300PM2 launchers and many radars. But the facts are only 4 out of the 28 S-300 launchers are deployed inside Maysaf, and under the Russian Military Operators control. As for the other 24 S-300 SAM, they are in storage wasting away while the Kike’s continue to strike at ease.

Kananda

the f-35 are really invisible for these radars

Zionist Internet Warrior

No, not invisible. Maybe to the old soviet ones. If that was the case, how did a Syrian S-200 hit an Israeli F-35 the same day and time as a catastrophic bird strike? :)

Kananda

Trust me, there were really birds. Two weaks later russian suchoy was hit by birds. 3 weeks later russian plane at sheremetyevo met birds … simply such things happen.

one another IL aircraft was hit by s-200

btw., just the older radars are able to recognize the stealth aircraft. the stealth technology was developed againste more modern, advanced radar systems.

but the SAR has not enough AD systems to detect these stealth machines. russians sure, but they sit on their measurements. :)

Jake321

That’s because the Russians don’t want the Syrians to use them. They don’t want to lose another spy plane or maybe a civilian airliner which could be Russian. And the Israelis, whatever you call them, keep sending your butt buddies home in body bags with impunity. Your close friends need help. Go join them, big man.

“Syrian Air Defense Activated In Response To”

5 minutes after 12

Jake321

Israel bumps off Islamist Iranians and their lap puppies yet again with impunity. Syrian air defense activated mostly after the fact as usual. At least this time they didn’t shoot down a Russian spy plane or a civilian airliner like their Key Stone Cops Islamist Iranian military buddies.
