I guess now we know why VKS did not bother with targeting those Tomahawks. They took the scenic route...

The US also said that they were launched off Crete, sensibly well away from any possible local retaliation.PapaDragon wrote:

Just exactly what i was expecting. that the missiles will come from Jordan
zone . So the Russian warship trying to block the american missiles will be pointless because AMericans can deviate their attack from Jordan or Israel.
The attacks can be done from persian gulf too through IRAQ. There had to be
ground navigation decoys deployed through the flight path to correct the navigation. yes that is through terrorist controlled zones.
So this is why i was saying ,that you cannot measure the real performance
of air defenses in a country like Syria ,because 70% of it ,is under occupation
of terrorist. So Syria ,neither Russia can not setup their air defenses there propertly. S-400s have to be deployed far from the coast and medium to short air defenses in the coast. If Syria had control of its borders , and had short air defenses across most of its borders, the attacks will have been totally neutralized.

And if i recall right wasnt whole Russian sub in Gulf of Mexico a hoax? It was claimed by that "Aliens are among us" portal Washington Free Beacon and both US and Russian officials denied such incident.
I've seen that the nothern command center of the US navy said it happened.

Does the S 400 don't cover much of Syria? If they do they could have shot them down? Sorry I am no expert, just wondering.

There is indeed doubt as to the number that hit the target. The US says 59 and Russia 23 (from memory) the highest other number is 44 possible impacts from satellite images, which if you allow for double hits could bet a bit nearer to the US figure. There is also a report of another one hitting a local village. But, as you say there seem to be some missing missiles.miketheterrible wrote:
S-300V and 400 easily reach those. Even later variant of Buk's can reach much of that as they get closer.
And may i ask to the people here how we know if Russia didn't strike those Tomahawks? Afterall, many did not reach their target. Actually, more than half didn't.

Two Russian servicemen were killed as a result of an attack by militants in Syria. Medics are struggling for the life of another serviceman, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.
"Two Russian servicemen were killed in the Syrian Arab Republic as a result of an attack by militants… A mine explosion killed the two Russian servicemen. Military medics are struggling for the life of a wounded Russian serviceman," it reads.

report:Russia/Iran will respond w force if red lines crossed again
Following Friday’s cruise missile strike on a Syrian airbase, in retaliation for the chemical attack on Khan Sheikhoun earlier in the week, the alliance supporting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad made a joint statement threatening action in response to “any breach of red lines from whoever it is”.
Usually major announcements like this are made at a much higher level.

Russia has distanced itself from any statement that it would respond with force if the US crosses any red lines again in Syria.
"We are not aware about that, we cannot confirm that and we do not know where Reuters got this and where these anonymous sources appeared from again," Peskov told reporters.
Russia unaware of "red lines" statement
