[Sugarcane]

Russia’s early warning radars have detected the launch of two ballistic rockets in the eastern Mediterranean, Russia’s Defense Ministry stated. The launch reportedly took place at 06:16 GMT Tuesday.

The trajectory of the missiles is reported to have been from the central part of the Mediterranean Sea towards the eastern landmass.

The Syrian embassy in Moscow currently has no information on the incident.

There were no rocket attack signals or blasts in Damascus, the Russian embassy in Syria noted.

Armavir, an early warning system against missile attack, is situated in southern Russia. It is run by the Russian Aerospace Defense Forces. They provide radar coverage of the Middle East. There are two radars there, with one of them facing southwest and the other southeast.

Israel says missile launch was joint drill with US​

Firing had raised alarms after Russian radar detected rocket; IDF and US earlier said they had no knowledge of ballistic objects


Russia raised a brief alarm in the Middle East Tuesday after apparently detecting a joint Israel and US missile launch test in the Mediterranean.

Israel’s defense ministry confirmed that it carried out a test of an Anchor missile, which was meant as a test of radar systems.

Russia reported that two ballistic objects had been fired from the central Mediterranean to the eastern coast of the sea at 10:16 a.m. Moscow time, which is an hour ahead of Israel.

The Russian RIA news agency later reported that the two objects had fallen into the sea.

The ministry said Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu had informed Russian President Vladimir Putin of the launch.

The Russian Embassy in Syria said it saw no sign of a missile attack in Damascus, and an Israel Defense Forces spokesperson said the military had no knowledge of a launch, Reuters reported.

“The IDF does not refer to foreign reports,” a spokesperson told The Times of Israel.

A NATO spokesperson told RIA the group would probe the reports.

A US official said none of its forces in the area had launched any missiles, CBS reported.

No other information was available. The Defense Ministry declined comment to Reuters.

The news comes as tensions have risen in the region over the possibility of a Western-led strike on Syria

So it wasn't an 'Anchor' radar missile test, more like an offensive capability test....

Stick to your own western values and stop racist comments. You don't have time for Egypt now. Keep ready for 100000 Iranian missiles and Russian S300, S400.
