Syrian Air Defense Intercepted 71 Cruise Missiles Launched by West - Russian MoD

[F-22Raptor]

The Pentagon is holding a live briefing now.

Just confirmed that 105 cruise missiles were fired. NONE were shot down. Syrian air defenses fired over 40 SAM's, largely after the cruise missiles struck there targets.

They also released the before and after photos of the sites struck. Over 70 missiles were deployed against the research facility in Damascus. It was obliterated.

the S400 is intended for use against aircraft/BM that THREATEN russian forces in syria. obviously that was not the case as no missile entered russian AD covered airspace. syrian pantsir systems were very likely used in the attack as it's currently their only viable defence against CM.

It's intended to intercept cruise missiles and I already referenced where the Russians said it would be used to shot down incoming missiles. There are clear intercepts as well, but most got through. The missiles obviously went through S-400 covered areas to hit targets near and in the capital. I'm sorry but no amount of face saving works with such overwhelming evidence of damage and strikes.

Scenes of destruction in Damascus:-

Tomahawk cruise missiles reduced their targets to dust and smoldering ruins across Syria.

These images belongs to an R&D organization. Israel had provided its coordination for coalition bombing campaign.

In an other attempt 10-11 cruise missiles were fired at an air base, all of them were intercepted and destroyed. Shows wherever Syrian army was present to defend skies of Syria, Syrians were successful in countering cruise missile attacks.

S 400 was inactive, no russian fighter was flying to counter cruise attacks, S 300 was sleeping otherwise none of those cruise missiles could land on Syrian educational institutions. Americans achieved nothing of this attack except for humiliation, 3 wounded huh, what a result. Proving that the claims about downing missiles was right.

The Russian Defense Ministry has commented on a joint US, British and French missile strike on Syria, which took place on the day, when the OPCW experts are set to start a probe into allegations of a chemical attack in Douma, a claim denounced by Damascus as a provocation.

The Russian Defense Ministry stated that most missiles launched by the Western states on Syria had been downed by the Arab Republic's air defenses while approaching their targets.

"The Syrian air defense system has been conducting an anti-air fight," the ministry added.

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, Syria repelled the Western attack with air defense systems made in the USSR over 30 years ago.

"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."

Later in the day, the Russian General Staff issued a statement, saying that a total of 71 cruise missiles out of 103 had been intercepted by Syria, adding that no government military airfrield had been damaged as a result of the attack.

"A few years ago, we refused to supply S-300 air defense systems to Syria due to the request of some of our Western partners. Taking into account what happened, we consider it possible to return to this issue. And not only with regard to Syria, but with regard to other states," the General Staff stated.

Syrian air defense forces have intercepted all 12 cruise missiles, which had been used to attack the Dumeir military airfield, according to the Russian Defense Ministry.

"Over the past 1.5 years, Russia has fully restored the air defense system of Syria and continues to improve it."

Russian Air Defenses Were Not Used to Repel Missile Strike

Russia's air defenses haven't been used to repell the missile strike on the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic, the military said.

"None of the cruise missiles launched by the US and its allies entered the zone of responsibility of the Russian air defenses, covering objects in Tartus [naval facility] and Hmeymim [airbase located in Latakia province]," the Russian Defense Ministry explained.

"Russian air defense systems at the Hmeymim and Tartus bases have timely found and controlled all the missile launches from naval and air vehicles of the US and Britain," the Russian General Staff stated, adding that it hadn't recorded French aviation's participation in the attack.

Poor soles, Syrian have shown you this early morning how big they are and how small is smallness....

The missile system has a range of 200 miles, it doesn't need to hit Russian bases, just the targets it was meant to protect.
As for the rest, more evidence should have been gathered, but my country has acted so that's that. I'm interested from a military point of view.

Do you agree with your country's action or not? Or a you just gonna act like a soldier who has been given orders...?
