Syrian airspace were guarded by Russian s300s, and US fired 69 cruise missiles at Syrian govt. No single s300s were fired. I think Russian radars even not detected missile attacks.

Which company?
And representative images doesn't match SAM category.

Syrian airspace were guarded by Russian s300s, and US fired 69 cruise missiles at Syrian govt. No single s300s were fired. I think Russian radars even not detected missile attacks.

Russians were informed of the attack before the missiles were launched. The Russians (at the Shayrat base) were asked to shelter themselves - in order not to cause Russian fatalities and escalate the situation to a Russia-US stand off! That's why Russia didn't bother to shoot down the Tomahawks (S-300 missiles are damn expensive too!).

The US attack was more symbolic and not intended to kill - not even the Syrian soldiers. The idea was to degrade some of the air fields capabilities. It's a warning shot - that's all.

As per some portals , US informed RUSSIAN to evacuate the region along with their assets.

And another report said that only 19 tomahawks were successfully targetted where as 59 were fired.

One of the news article mentioned below:
US FIRES CRUISE MISSILES ON SYRIAN AIRBASE !!!

The United States Navy fired a barrage of cruise missiles into Syria on thursday night in retaliation for this week's gruesome chemical weapons attack against civilians, U.S. officials said.

A total of 59 Tomahawk Cruise missiles were said to have been launched with observers in Syria reporting that dozens of the missiles had hit the airbase. The missiles targeted hangars, runway, fuel depots and aircraft.

The Naval Vessels involved are said to be the Arleigh Burke Class Destroyers, USS Ross and USS Porter that had launched the heavy saturation attack using Tomahawk Cruise Missiles against a Shayrat Air Base..

This was the first direct American assault on the Syrian government and Donald Trump's most dramatic military order since becoming president.

Now it is a matter to see whether the US provided additional Electronic Attack as jamming by either E/A 18G fighters or any other assets in the region since the Syrian airbases are said to be backed by Russian S-300 and S-400 SAM system, in addition to SyAAFs S-200 SAMs protecting its bases.

No fighter jets (Growlers) were used. Russians just didn't engage the cruise missiles. They probably tipped off the Syrians too, and probably sheltered the jets and Syrian soldiers. The damage probably was to the runway and some depots.

India’s Akash surface-to-air missile to be deadlier in next Avtaar
After DRDO was granted Initial developmental funds to develop next generation surface-to-air missile, DRDO has finally disclosed some information of its upcoming Air Defence systems which will be ready in next two to three years. idrw.org was informed that Akash New Generation (Akash-NG) has been conceptualised with solid propulsion, wing-body-tail configuration, electro-mechanical control system, active RF seeker and laser proximity fuze. Akash-NG system will be capable of search, track and fire while engaging 10 targets at ranges up to 50 km with configuration of CCU, multifunction radar (MFR) and launcher for air defence of VA/VPs. DRDO has also undertaken the development of Akash Mk-1S as a Technological Demonstrator to prove the upgradability of Akash Mk-1 missile with RF seeker through necessary modification/retro fitment on the existing missiles. Akash Mk-1S is will have same range of 25km Akash which has been developed and inducted into Indian Air Force (IAF) and Indian Army (IA).

DRDO developed QR-SAM to be tested later this year
BDL, BEL and DRDO Co-developed Indigenous QR-SAM (Quick Reaction, Surface to Air Missile) with a range of 30kms is likely to be tested after the second half of this year, as per Industrial sources close to idrw.org. QR-SAM Project is one of the fast-tracked projects after India scrapped plans to procure imported systems to replace ageing Quick reaction Air Defence systems in both Indian Army and Indian Navy. QR-SAM weapon system will be a quick reaction, all weather, Canister-based network-centric capable of search on the move, track on move and fire on short halts while engaging multiple targets at ranges of about 30 km with two vehicle configuration for Area Air Defence in Army/Air force Variant. According to the information provided to idrw.org ,QR-SAM System design has been completed and most of the sub-systems including X-Band Quad Transmit Receive Modules (QTRMs), Two Way Data Link (TWDL) onboard segment etc. are under realization. QR-SAM) for the Indian Army will replace its Soviet-vintage OSA-AK (SA-8) and SA-6 units, while in Indian Air Force it will compliment already procured Israel developed SPYDER units and in Indian Navy, the missile will complement existing Israeli Barak-1 Air Defence systems in front-line warships.

Wow,we are developing QR-SAMs....

Wow,we are developing QR-SAMs....

There are quite a few missiles in this segment with overlapping capabilities.

Maiden Firing of BrahMos Land Attack Supersonic Cruise Missile

Indian Navy successfully undertook the firing of BrahMos Land Attack Supersonic Cruise Missile from a ship today. This variant of Long Range BrahMos Missile was fired from Indian Naval Ship Teg, a Guided Missile Frigate, on a target on land. BrahMos Missile has been jointly developed by India and Russia, and its Anti Ship variant has already been inducted into Indian Navy. Majority of the frontline ships of Indian Navy, like the Kolkata, Ranvir and Teg classes of ships, are capable of firing this missile. Land Attack variant of BrahMos Missile provides Indian Naval Ships the capability to precisely neutralise selected targets deep inland, far away from coast, from stand-off ranges at sea.

This successful maiden firing of BrahMos Land Attack Supersonic Cruise Missile has significantly enhances the prowess of Indian Navy and has placed India into the club of select few nations.
