Syrian Air Defenses Shot Down American Missiles

[westwall]

Suuuuuuure he did. That's why they were expanding their territory nearly every day and raking in hundreds of billions of dollars from the oil fields they had captured. That's why he claimed that ISIS would take "years" to defeat. If you weren't so silly, in dumb sort of way, you would be funny.

The entire Syrian episode has been a farce. Here is the make up of the "rebels".

Isil is fighting alongside of the rebel "groups". Al Qaeda is fighting alongside the "rebels".

We were once gain sold a bill of goods.

I agree with you on this. The rebels truly are scum. But their kids aren't. At least not yet. Regardless, the use of chemical weapons needs to be eradicated, no matter who they are used against. Because once their first targets are dead, they turn them on us.

There are a number of reports today that I find very disturbing.

The first is that Assad has been routinely using chlorine gas against his people over the past year even after Putin promised he wouldn’t. Trump did nothing. According to the reports of last week’s attack, there was chlorine and Saran in this attack.

So if Assad has been gassing his people this whole year, why wasn’t something done before this week to put a stop to it? Are we now good with chlorine gas but not Saran? This is bullshit.

It has estimated that 400,000 people have been killed in the Syrian civil war. 5 million have fled the country in the worst refugee crisis in history. 6 million more have been “internally displaced”. That’s half the population of the country pre-war. Why are some forms of murder “acceptable” and others worthy of retaliation? Dead is dead.

Very few of the 400,000 deaths have been as a result of chemical weapons. Why is it acceptable for Assad to kill his people so long as he doesn’t use chemical bombs to do it? Barrel bombs are OK, as are guns, knives, starvation and lack of medical care. Chlorine gas too, but don’t use Saran. That’s a “red line”.

It isn't "acceptable" for anyone to murder their citizens. But, it is also not our business. However, given the nature of WMD's, their use DEMANDS a response. No matter whom they are used upon.

Like our response to Saddam and he was killing his own??? and Mission accomplished??? lol lol

What are you blathering on about? How about trying to say something sensible. Or at least coherent.

The United States, Great Britain and France launched a missile attack on government facilities in Syria early in the morning of April 14, 2018. According to the British Royal Air Forces representative Air Vice Marshal Gavin Parker, the targets were the research center in Damascus, Mezzeh Military Airport of the Syrian Air Force located near Damascus and several warehouses in Homs where the chemical weapons were allegedly located.

Of course, mainstreammedia started talking immediately about panic among the Syrianmilitary and the infrastructure facilities destruction but thesestatements were far from the truth.

103 missiles are reported were launched in Syria and the Syrian air defense systems managed to shoot down 71 missiles. In particular,five missiles were fired at the Mezze airfield and all of them were destroyed in the air. Thus, the Buk air defense systems accomplished their task successfully.

Mezzeh Military Airport after the U.S. shelling

According to the Syrian military airport photographs, the military equipment and the runways have not been destroyed.At the same time, the smoke is a consequence of launched Buk missiles.

In general, we can say with certainty that the attacks of the United States and its allies were ineffective, the targets were not affected, the critical infrastructure facilities were not destroyed.And most importantly, the Syrian air defenses have fulfilled their mission showing the countries of the West the Syrian land is under reliable protection.

Yeah sure

 

[jc456]

And here the last few years you dupes were acting like ISIS was the greatest military force in the history of the world instead of a JV team.

Well, just because Obama couldn't stop them doesn't mean they were a JV team

Obama bombed the shit out of them. Trump is doing the same, except he's abandoned the rebels that relied on us and said to kill civilians. ISIS was always a JV team. A gaggle of impoverished sand people that didn't even have a helicopter.

Suuuuuuure he did. That's why they were expanding their territory nearly every day and raking in hundreds of billions of dollars from the oil fields they had captured. That's why he claimed that ISIS would take "years" to defeat. If you weren't so silly, in dumb sort of way, you would be funny.

Can’t get anything right can you? 234,000 have died. It isn’t our war and no regime change is needed unless you have someone to take over . Girl, for once get something right

[Tom Horn]

It's remarkable how our leftist turds lie and expect to be believed. Damascus and the surrounding areas are well-lit cities, not rice paddies or deserts in the middle of nowhere. Back in the 60's our satellites could take a pic of what time it was....on Khruschev's wristwatch. How did we know within an hour if our targets were struck? think of what our satellite imagery is capable of today. Remember the green-illumination footage of Baghdad being struck at night 27 years ago? Now factor in we used manned aircraft in addition to ships in 3 seas..they track their projectiles and know exactly if they acquired and destroyed their targets. What you're seeing here is simply PTSD....(Post-Trump-Stress-Disorder)...they hate the man so much they've forsaken their own country and people over him.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

read some military history
the enemy ALWAYS over claims
there is no way they shot down 70% of the incoming missiles

How do you know for sure? After the 2017 strike on a Syrian airbase only 23 of 59 cruise missiles actually made their targets.

Regardless...70% intercept rate is pretty damn good. Especially when we consider the fact that the Russians are claiming that their S400 system was not even utilized during the attack.
NATO jets didn't break Syrian airspace either. If they had we may be reading about downed jets as well. That Russian system looks like the real deal.

there is no way they shot down 70%

Why not? Does anyone know the success rate of the system?

A fool is born every minute lol

Unless you have something concrete to counter their claim then where are you? Where is anyone? We do know that certain targets were intended to be hit which were not. We also know that certain targets were intended to be hit which were. Further, we know the stated number of missiles deployed by NATO forces, 103. So, where is that list of targets? If we do, then we can surmise an approximate success rate.
Do we have that list? If not then how does anyone really know for sure?

You do ? Since when?

3 targets. All destroyed according to every source I have seen that is not a Russkie bot!

[Desperado]

Where's the physical evidence of shot down broken up U.S. Cruise Missiles on the ground?

They wil provide that when we provide the physical evidence that Assad gassed his own people.

Physical evidence says otherwise... gawd you Russian trolls are priceless...

Russian troll...maybe they can put that on my 214. I find it funny that any critical thought or inquiry is immediately passed off as an unpatriotic act.

Commander Military Strategic Air Command (COMSAC) has video that disproves your BS.

Do you mean AF Global Strike Command (AFGSC)? SAC has not existed since the 90's...Air Combat Command after that till '09. Either way, does he provide the target list?

Did you watch the Pentagon briefing at 9am EDT this morning?

One was a research facility in Damascus. The other two were located near each other and was a chemical weapons manufacturing facility and then a storage bunker.

Check that briefing from the Pentagon this morning.

 

[Darkwind]

Millions of dollars to blow up 3 buildings. Told Russia and Syria ahead of time so they could clear them out. The airport reporting that it wasn’t even hit.

Then Trump resurrects “Mission Accomplished” during a toilet tweet

Stop cheerleading for the enemy dumbass

Trump is far more of an enemy to me than some broken little army on the other side of the planet. Millions of dollars to hit 3 buildings that posed zero threat to the U.S.

I agree it was a dumb move but you are sympathizing with the enemy and endorsing a noob conspiracy thread. Unless you actually believe those inbred towel heads were capable of defeating 70% of our military might.

Endorsed the thread? No, just pointing out we accomplished nothing and spent millions of dollars to do so. Meanwhile Assad gets to have some dinner, take a shower, and say MAGA-type things to rally his base.

You dont know what was or wasn't accomplished. Unless you're going to pretend you have private investigators on the ground.
Your hate for trump clouds your critical thinking.

He just hates America and takes every opportunity to ensure that America comes out in the worst light possible.

The truth is, people who think as he does is the greatest threat to America.

They shot down zero, how is it you're getting 70%?

In fact, Syria launched noting but ballistic (meaning unguided) missiles in the hopes of shooting something down. They missed the incoming missiles, but I see no one is talking about where THOSE missiles came down.

I’ll go with the UN figures as opposed to those given to you by Putin.

No it’s not our war but then neither was WWII. However impact of absorbing the five million refugees created by this conflict is being felt all over the world.

Assad would be gone if were not for the Russians and the Iranians. While I might wish that someone would put a bullet in his head, I’m well aware of what happened with the last regime change in the region which was undertaken with no plan for who and what came after.

The reality is that there are no good answers and this isn’t my area of expertise.

I just don’t see the point of saying you can kill your people, just not that way. If nothing is being done to end all of the killing why draw a line on one method? No one is stopping him from using barrel bombs, which are classified as “terrorism”.

And Trump is clueless. He thinks a few missiles and its “Mission accomplished”. He actually complained that no one thanked him for doing this. He didn’t DO anything. The killing will go on.
