The Iranian ministry of defense has denied a US media claim that four of 26 cruise missiles fired from Russia's Caspian fleet at Syria’s IS militants have fallen in Iran.

We have not received any report indicating the crash of the Russian missiles on Iranian territories, an unnamed official at the Iranian Defense Ministry responded. He also called the allegations as "psychological war".

Russia's Defense Ministry also denied the reports of the alleged incident. "All missiles have hit their designated targets", the Russian Defense ministry was quoted as saying by Fars News Agency Thursday.

"No matter how unpleasant and unexpected for our colleagues in the Pentagon and Langley was yesterday's high-precision strike on Islamic State (of Iraq and the Levant) infrastructure in Syria, the fact remains that all missiles launched from our ships have found their targets,"Russian defense ministry's spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said.

The four Russian Navy warships had fired a total of 26 missiles at the positions of the ISIL terrorist group in Syria, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said Wednesday.

Russia has set to launch surgical air strikes against the militants in Syria on September 30 by Sukhoi Su-25 ground attack planes, Su-24 and Su-34 bombers. The Russia's move followed the request of Syrian President Basshar Shoigum, the ministry added.

Earlier Thursday CNN reported, quoting Pentagon officials as saying, that at least four of the Russian cruise missiles have crash-landed in Iran.

The CNN report followed the Russian army's announcement that all the 26 missiles hit and completely destroyed their targets in the Syrian provinces of Raqqa, Idlib and Aleppo.

JUST LIKE RUSSIA "BOMB" ISIS

 

[Providence]

That part of the globe is pretty adequately covered through sat cams I believe. Any failed or mis hits ideally can be detected.

This is the age of twitter and YouTube and every asshole having a mobile phone with a cam. You dont think it will be over all the social media if it happened?

This is good for Iran. When US cruise missiles fell in Pakistan, we reverse engineered them to make nuclear capable Babur cruise missile and Air Launched Ra'ad cruise missile.

If Iran has the scientific prowess, it can reverse engineer these missiles.

Proof please? CNN claims Russian missiles crashed in Iran, Moscow refutes, US can’t confirm — RT News

This triggered a quick reaction from the Russian Defense Ministry, with spokesman Igor Konashenkov saying that all the missiles had hit their targets on Wednesday. “Unlike CNN, we don’t distribute information citing anonymous sources, but show the very missile launches and the way they hit their targets almost in real time,” Konashenkov said. The spokesman pointed out that the strike targets are being photographed before and after being hit, while Russian drones are monitoring the situation from Syrian skies 24/7.

The high precision strikes might have been “unpleasant and surprising for our colleagues in the Pentagon,” but the fact is that“the missiles launched from the ships hit their targets,” he said.
“Otherwise one would have to acknowledge that IS facilities – located at a considerable distance from each other – exploded all by themselves,” Konashenkov said.

you gave it to china and they developed it for you

Yes that's why they have no equivalent missile that looks like a tomahawk. When you make your own cruise missile then come talk, can't even make a plane, forget a cruise missile.

The CJ-10 may have benefited significantly from foreign technology acquired by China throughout the 1990s, notably the Kh-55 (purchased from Ukraine), and the Tomahawk(unexploded and parts purchased from Iraq, Pakistan, and Serbia).

Four Syria-Bound Russian Missiles Crashed in Iran, U.S. Officials Say


BRUSSELS — Four cruise missiles in a barrage of 26 fired by Russia from warships in the Caspian Sea at targets in Syria crashed in a rural area of northern Iran, senior United States officials said on Thursday. Russian and Iranian officials dismissed the claim as nonsense.

It was unclear exactly where in Iran the missiles might have landed, or whether there had been any casualties or damage. The United States officials said the flight path of the Russian cruise missiles, called Kalibrs, would have taken them across northern sections of Iran and Iraq en route to Syria.

Of the initial 26-missile volley, the officials said, four went awry and hit northern Iran, according to technical sources of information like radar and satellite imagery.

The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss military intelligence.

I take it, by the end of next week, all of them have crashed into Iran somewhere.

Yet we don't have a CJ-10, which is a totally different missile compared to Babur. Maybe we provided China assistance and access in their cruise missile program, that is certainly believable.

Pictures or it's fake. In this day and age when a 4 years old kid has a smart phone, any claim without a single photo as evidence is a joke.
