Imagine what the S-400 would have done.

That was a total failure, hence the reason the whole "test" ended in just one hour.

They were using the S-200 system apparently and the Russian are now preparing to upgrade the Syrian air defence system to the S-300.

What is interesting is the reaction from Russia! No threats, no bluster, no open shows of aggression they just keep cool. If they do respond I think it will be a single massive blow on the US and ALL its allies in the region, including Israel if they try to take advantage of the chaos.

Russia is not saying too much about their response but if you think about it; The US has another fleet on the way .... are the Russians allowing the Syrians to take the brunt rather than deplete their own capability using the S-400 and hypersonic weapons where it will count most? Is this US raid just to confuse the situation until more reinforcements arrive? :roll: :wink:

That is impossible. The videos released by Russia and Syria are also a major gotcha (for idiots) but most of you are not clever enough to understand the propaganda.

It just so happen that someone took video of a Syrian missile which self detonated over the suburbs of Damascus, supposedly to give the illusion that it had intercepted and destroyed a Tomahawk Cruise missile at such a high altitude. But if you look closely, there was no debris from the Tomahawk that was supposedly destroyed at a few thousand feet. That's because the Tomahawk hugs the Terrain. When it flies towards a mountain, it pops over it and down the leeside onto its target with total precision. The S-400 will only detect it when it has line of sight and would have seconds to knock it out. Not impossible, but highly improbable. The Russians would be lucky to intercept and destroy about 10% (which would be a massive success if they did that) and only the S400 would be capable of it and maybe the S300 but certainly not the S200.

The Tomahawk Cruise Missile cruises at about 150 feet or 50m above the ground. How clever are all you Einsteins? Pretty dumb as a matter of fact!

The Tomahawk navigates the terrain with the use of a Terrain Following radar aided by terrain contour matching (TERCOM). The F-111 and the Panavia Tornado utilize a similar system allowing the aircraft to follow the terrain with such precision and fly under the coverage of any known radar system apart from Australia's JORN radar which is the only radar in the world capable of detecting small boats on the surface of the ocean because it reflects radiation from the ionosphere and is hence able to detect low flying terrain following cruise missiles like the Tomahawk.

For navigation, they utilize GPS and Interial Nav Systems.

IDIOTS!

Not only have they failed miserably but the idea of blowing up a "chemicals lab/depot" is as dumb as Trump himself because you'd be releasing all the crap in the air if it existed... Americans are so fucking stupid! :)

All the videos I've seen are intercepts and absolutely nothing lands!



yes but there is a major problem with this video. it was a staged production.

And Tomahawk Missiles fly so low over the terrain, lower than some people fly their kites! :lol:

These things are designed to fly under the radar like the Tornado and F-111 can use Terrain Following TERCOM to fly at 2000km/hr at about 100 feet above the ground without pilot input.

here is a video of an F-18 following a Tomahawk. barely off the ocean surface. In fact, the F-18 was much higher than the Tomahawk which would have been as low as 20 m (60Feet) above the water.

A bit different from the US's Nikki Haley's version ..... but of course her intelligence is from the White Helmets and the terrorist proxies the US/UK support ....... what will happen when Russia actually provides proof there was no chemical attack on Douma ? Little doubt they will just brush it off as they usually do when presented with the facts ..... all propaganda of course in their book and there a lot of people who believe them.

Briefing by official representative of Russian Defence Ministry Major General Igor Konashenkov Full Transcript

Quote:

The Russian Ministry of Defence has overwhelming evidence that in Douma on April 7 there was a planned provocation in order to deceive the world community. Its original purpose was to provoke missile strikes by the USA against Syria.
It is to be reminded that a video clip recorded at the Douma hospital where injured people were allegedly brought to is the key ‘evidence’ of all these accusations made by western countries.
However, we managed to find those who directly had taken part in this footage, and to ask them questions.
Today, Russian shows an interview with these people.
Citizens of Douma told how a staged clip had been recorded, in which episodes they had participated and what roles they had had.
Besides, they showed shots with them in the clip.
Both persons involved in the clip have medical degree and work in emergency department of the Douma Hospital.
According to them, those who had been brought to the hospital had no injuries caused by chemical agents.
When civilians were receiving first aid, some unidentified people rushed in the hospital.
Some of them had video cameras. These people started shouting, spreading panic, and dousing other people with water. They shouted that all people in the hospital were victims of chemical weapons use.
Patients and their relatives started dousing each other with water.
After the action was filmed, the unknown persons escaped immediately.

Russia will undoubtedly respond and could escalate the war to WW3. The west should have never intervened in Syria from the very start, instead it threw its support behind tens of different, mostly jihadist groups, demanding the removal of the Syrian president oblivious to the fact that a successor would most likely be another or indeed other dictators. I can not believe how terribly naive and blatantly stupid the three heads of state have shown to be.
What the hell do they hope to achieve by striking at Syria. Had the west remained out of Syria the war would have ended by now. Let us not believe for a moment that this strike is a humanitarian one. I reserved judgement on Trump but now I can voice my opinion on him.
What a fucking plonker he turns out to be.
As for our own May, what a stupid bloody woman, the silly old cow has absolutely no clue as to what the consequences of her decision might be.
Perhaps its time for Cyprus to show the British bases the red card. These bases are not helping Cyprus, its time we stand up and demand our land back.


And the first casualties of any retaliation by the Russians, could well be the people of Cyprus, the Brits haven't done enough damage to the country already. :evil:


With all due respect but there is more chance of hell freezing over before the Russians attack RAF Akrotiri.

The Coalition attack on Syria was limited and a warning to Assad over his use of Chemical warfare. Russia was not targeted at all.

And neither does anyone in their right mind think that Pootin is stupid enough to attack a British Military asset directly because that invokes NATO's Article 5 and will result in the destruction of all of Russia's bases in Syria.

That is direct conflict and war and I don't think Pootin can stomach the prospect of his Nuclear annihilation. Do you think Pootin has such suicidal tendencies?

I think you will find that there is NOTHING Pootin can do other than his usual propaganda, plausible denial, and hysteria designed to muddy the waters and throw ash in your eyes as to who the culprits really are.

And a big thank you to Cyprus' Agios Nicholaos listening post. It was instrumental in gathering all the intelligence necessary. It's great to see Cyprus play a pivotal role.

General you are back with your usual shit.
Cyprus has played no part ypu blithering moron. The vast majority of Cypriots, Americans, Brits and French do not support the strikes on Syria.
Learn how to spell Putin you fucking idiot.

For a start who said what was intercepted on the video was a Tomahawk??
That obviously is not a cruise missile.
From what I heard on the news the total number of Tomahawks were about 30 out of 103.
Who you said is an idiot?
