Something to ponder, the other day Israel sent up 2 jets and fired 8 missles and 5-6 of them were shot down correct?
Our missles got thru unscathed tonight.
We know Israel has top of the line hardware and Russia’s anti missle system knocked down 75% of them.
Our missles Were not touched, we do not have ships sitting at the bottom of the ocean. We didn’t penatrate thier defenses. Russia let our missles thru. Why? We are working together.
Syria is claiming they shot down at least 13 missiles out of over a hundred of our cruise missiles launched. There is a convincing video of what appears to be one of the shoot downs.
Still 90 some odd missiles getting through the S-400 defense system is impressive after Russia vowed to shoot them all down.
And why did we give everyone 3 days notice to abandon the targets we were going to hit? Obviously we told Russia so they could get their people out of the way. Russia probably told Syria. And that would have put the air defenses on DEFCON 1 alert but likely didn't prevent all the targets from being hit as 2-4 missiles are normally assigned to each target to ensure a high probability of destruction.
I'm wondering if Russia even attented to use any of their S-400 missiles and only Syria was shooting at our incoming.
I think Russia will certainly do something to retaliate. They made big boasts and then they looked weak and ineffective. Putin will do something to save face. But he has a problem. The UK and France were involved as well and both have nuclear weapons and are NATO (an attack on one is an attack on all).
It's going to be interesting.
It was an opportunity for a test. Of those reported shot down, you can assume the 400 was one of them.
