You should pass this on to NATO intelligence Y. They will appreciate it.


...what makes you think NATO doesn't read Cyprus Forum?


Back in the 80s there was a Ropucha, with a similar fit/personnel, permanently stationed to the SE of Cyprus.

We referred to it as “The South Cyprus buoy” and would usually do a photo run on it, prior to landing at Akrotiri. We didn’t buzz it for ages though, just to annoy them, or use our Death Ray. :roll:

The Russians would have done a 75FT pass, and stopped it dead in the water and bought The Death Ray out.

We had strict instructions, not to use our super-duper, war-winning “secret” Dan Dare device just to show off. Spoilsports.

Being programmed robots we of course had no option but to slavishly obey. :lol:

...the Swedes are in the skies, from Larnaca, off the coast of Syria.

No one knows why, but there is speculation that they practice so far from home, collecting data, on Russian transmissions; interesting.

Yes our good friends from Sweden are doing their bit!

The whole world is on our side, which is saying something about Russia! And Cyprus is doing its bit for letting the Swedes use Larnaca as their base, so well done Cyprus!

Israeli forces reportedly struck targets near Damascus on Tuesday with missiles, according to Al Masdar News, just hours after US President Donald Trump withdrew from the Iran sanctions deal.
Syria's SANA reports that air defense systems intercepted at least two missiles fired at the al-Kaswa area, which is proximal to southern Damascus.

Yeh, in their dreams, they intercepted 2 Israeli Missiles with party flares and left over fireworks.

Israel is entering the war. Just as predicted.

Several of your western sources also carry the story!

Try to keep up! That's not news, Israel has been carrying out acts of war in Syria on one pretext or another for at least two decades. Your prediction ..... isn't, it's historic fact. All were acts of war and all contrary to International Law and the UN Charter.

yes, the Western Sources only regurgitate what the Syrians are claiming.

The Israeli's just keep very quiet about everything. They do not discuss their operations or make any claims about being successful or otherwise. they just go about their business and let others do the talking.

They are actually very clever. Far too clever.

The Syrians have S200 only and the Israelis have familiarity with S300/S400 which the Russians will never deploy against the Israelis because that would be the end of the S400s reputation.

The only other action against Syria before the Syrian Civil War, was actually when Syria was about to invade Israel in 1967 and actually got done and lost the Golan Heights. There is nothing wrong with defence.
