First Shipment Of Russian S-300 Rockets Arrives In Syria
Two days ago we reported that the most recent escalation in the Syrian proxy war involved a bitter exchange between Russia and Israel, where the latter warned the former that it would proceed with destroying any arms shipments from Russia into Syria, specifically referencing the S-300 missiles that has been known to be en route to Damascus for several weeks now. The Israel defense minister warned that: "The shipments haven't set out yet and I hope they won't. If they do arrive in Syria, God forbid, we'll know what to do." Well, according to Lebanese newspaper al-Akhbar not only has the shipment been sent out, but it has already arrived. Check to Israel and coming through on its warning to begin an offensive action not only against Syria, but more importantly, implicitly against Russia.
More:
"Syria has received the first shipment of Russian anti-aircraft S-300 rockets," Lebanese newspaper al-Akhbar newspaper quoted Assad as saying in an interview due to be broadcast later on Thursday.
More of the missiles would arrive soon, he was quoted as saying.
Russia has said it would deliver the missile system to the Syrian government over Western objections, saying the move would help stabilize the regional balance.
A staunch ally of the Assad government, Moscow has appeared to grow more defiant since the European Union let its arms embargo on Syria expire, opening up the possibility of the West arming the rebels battling to topple the president. The embargo lapses on June 1.
The United States, France and Israel have all called on Russia to stop the missile delivery.
So much for the United Stated, French and Israel's foreign policy leverage, at least in the eyes of Gazpromia Russia, for whom preserving the veto power on Qatar gas pipelines into Europe is the only prerogative.
And just like Israel couldn't get enough of scaremongering about the Iranian nuclear facility in Fordow which was said would lead to the war if left unchecked (we are still waiting), now it is the turn to blindly accuse Syria of preemptive "defensive" violence:
Officials in Israel, the United States' main ally in the region, say the S-300 could reach deep into the Jewish state and threaten flights over its main commercial airport near Tel Aviv.
Israel, wary of any Syrian weapons being sent to Hezbollah in Lebanon, has already launched three air strikes against Damascus to stop suspected transfers.
Sources close to the Russian weapons export monopoly Rosoboronexport said last year that an earlier agreed S-300 deal had been frozen due to concerns over violence in Syria. But one of the sources said Syria had already paid 20 percent of the contract price.
Earlier this month, Israel was reported to have told Washington that Syria had begun payments for a $900 million purchase of S-300s, with an initial deliver due within three months
So if the missiles, shown below, have indeed arrived, look for red flashing headlines about loud explosions in Syria in the next 24 hours. And after that, look for even redder flashier headlines, describing Russia's response.

Not as long as it took you to write that post, neocon.
lol @ downvoters. The truth hurts, as does getting called on your 'conservative' fraudulence, neocon bitchez.
Ummmm, actually, I think the downvotes were because, instead of providing a brief summary and a link to the article, you simply copied and pasted it (and then neglected to provide a link).
As you've only been here for five weeks, you may not realize this, but many here are quite well aware of repugnant creatures like Leo Strauss and Irving Kristol, the loathesome "thing" that they spawned called neoconservatism, and its roots in communism.
For the benefit of those who didn't already know the above information, a summary and a link to the article would be more helpful.
It's likely that the downvotes were not because "the truth hurts", but because you pasted a metric assload of text that was old news.
Yeah there was that too.
"Syria has received the first shipment of Russian anti-aircraft S-300 rockets," Lebanese newspaper al-Akhbar newspaper quoted Assad as saying in an interview due to be broadcast later on Thursday...."
If a newspaper with a name like "al-Akhbar" claims to quote Assad, I suppose we have no choice but to believe it. Snort.

Anybody taking bets on Benjamin 'cannot stand idly by.' Netanyahu, standing idly by?
Perhaps Fox News and CNBC is more reliable for you...
You are right to question any information, but I suspect your statement goes beyond basic skepticism.
You prefer your lies to come from the US MSM I guess? Must be a "buy American" kind of guy.
CNN is covering Jodi Arias for day 361. THAT is important.
By todays standard, S 300 is an aging defence system. Russia is not going to risk cutting edge equipment with a chance of capture by rebels.
Yet, B-52s and TU-95s are still active and get scrambled to in a fly-by.
Do they still carry those flintlock and black powder triggered atom bombs from the 1940s?
By your standard, the US AEGIS is an aging defence system, likewise the Patriot defence system is an aging defence system... Names mean nothing - its the version number that counts.
"The Map is not the Territory"
Yep. Weapons, sensors, and fire control systems are not Paris-Hilton-flaky, must-have-the-latest, fashion items like shoes and iTampons.

He's out wokking the dog(or two)...
That is all fucked up shit, but to be fair to the Chinese, they suffer from the same maladies as the rest of us, the human condition. You can find all sorts of stories just like these for just about any country in the world. Look at the wave of mass rapes in India, parents murdering children in the US, wars and genocides around the world etc, etc, etc...
Well said!
Same circus, different tent.
Sorry, but Switzerland is not the same as Pakistan. I know that doesn't doesn't square with your world view, but you need to accept it.
thats racist
Switzerland... home of global central banking... you are correct, it is not the same, but several orders of magnitude more severe. Sure, the sheep are more passive, but... on the whole, which is worse?
The ones responsible for what you speak of are not "Swiss" any more than a Paki is "British."
Sure the Swiss are exactly the same, didn't we hear about someone going on a rampage over there and killing a few Swiss Citizenisms?
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
Maybe they have less incidents due to smaller population, but they still have their moments.
So in other words if one group behaves a certain way 1% of the time, and another group behaves that same way 90% of the time, those groups are then the same because 'they both behave that way.'
Makes perfect sense--if you're an internationalist who wants to see the civilized world destroyed with third world immigration.
Look Mommy .... a moderate ! You could defend Buchenwald ? China is like a really big .... North Korea .... they're bullies ! LOL
You can't compare Europe to some third world mudhole. Stop falling for the internationalist line that 'we're all the same' and therefore we should import millions of third world immigrants into our civilized countries.
Europeans may have a history of warring with each other, but at least we're capable of conducting ourselves civilly in between wars. Can't say that for most of the rest of the rest of the world.
Like General Westmoreland said, "Life is cheap in the Orient."
Awesome moniker, lol
They hatin'. :)
Threadjack much?
Muppet Pimp, Yes you are digressing with your post and I was wondering where you were going with your headlines & links -- until I saw the "Last, but not least..." portion. Nice setup for Irony, regarding GS!
I'll repeat what I've said a number of times: GS would and will sacrifice the US, if it means having the same (MFN - Most Favorite Nation) status in China as it does in the US. GS is "global", with loyalty only to themselves (key shareholders), and will do whatever they need to do to keep it that way, and to promote the Neocon agenda.
Now, back to the main thread please.
The USA will fight both Iran and Russia until the last Turkish soldier.
Israel will fight both Iran and Russia until the last American soldier.
Fixed it for'ya!
They are the great masters of the ol' "Hey! Let's you and him fight!"
To hear the western media tell it, Syria is in chaos. The government is supposed to just be hanging on in parts of Damascus and a few Alawite strongholds. How is it that the Syrian government can recieve such a big and complex weapons system? How can they pay even 20% of 900 million dollars?
To translate MSM in the west, just take the opposite side and you will see clarity.
i think it is allready paid for, Russia is just fulfilling contract.
How is it that the Syrian government can recieve such a big and complex weapons system?
Because it was there all along. When you hear it in the news that means that it already happened long ago. Like I said before, if you were Russia would you announce to the world that you were giveing the Syrians a missle system? No, you would get it there first like about 3 months ago and then you would have a training excercise in Russia (like they are doing now) to train the Syrians on how to use it properly (because atm there are Russians manning it in Syria) and that's the way it goes.
I think the attacks that Israel launched a few weeks ago against Syria were an attempt to take them out or at least expose them but that is just speculation on my part. By the way , you don't pay for weapons like that. You don't pay for shit when superpowers are usiing your country to fight a proxy war.
Believe nothing you hear from the msm....nothing.....
Iranian line of credit extended to Syria pays for it.
http://www.strategypage.com/qnd/iran/articles/20130528.aspx
I hav to laugh at Israel and the USA's reasoning. They do not want Syria to have the ability to "defend: itself agains aircraft flying over its terrain so they won't have to worry about drones and other flying aircraft being shot down as they implement a "No fly" zone.
Israel and the USA have to realize, it is a human right to defend if attacked. As far as been publicized, the Russian "Anti Aircraft" missiles are defence weapons, not offesnsive.
What is Isreal and the USA worried about? Human rights? Tell that to the victims of collateral damage, the dead and wounded in Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, Gaza and Afghanistan?
Shhhhh, you are ruining the narrative.
Israel is pissed off they cannot give air support to Al Quida
Shhhhh ! Let the mutual suicide continue unabated .... I want the Syrian civil war to be forever .... just like .... the Muslim hatred for Israel !
tell that to the sunni muslim car bomed by the the shia Muslim and vice versa never no outrage about Muslim on Muslim death and yet a Muslim has a greater chance of being killed by another Muslim based on religion than they do by the evil west. denounce and reject Islamic on Islamic violence first and then we can talk about human rights
everyone has a bias.often the effectiveness of the written word involves how clever (or not)
one is at hiding that bias.
This scenario revolves around which geo-political viewpoint,and thus,which bias,one holds.
IMHO the entire north african-mid east scenario revolves around two poles: Gas to Europe,
via which pipeline, and: vested interest maintainence of the petro-dollar,and thus $us as world's
reserve currency.
No holds barred
If the europeans want to secure the gas (and not be Russia's bitch) they had better get cracking
How cleverly I hide my bias .... claiming to be the Unofficial Spokeshole for the Jewish ether !
Has anyone else heard of the Samson Option?
it is well known here. The world permanently Tebowing until the nuclear glow goes away in about a thousand or so years sounds shitty, but do not put it past the israelis.
In the end, Israel will prevail.
If they make a capital or two glow in the process, so be it.
Aerial bursts flatten the target and create minimal fallout.
Israel's nukes are "Dial A Yield", just like the U.S. arsenal. No need to make a real big mess.
If it is done it will be as a means of protecting their own people.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
"If they make a capital or two glow in the process, so be it."
Yes, and public opinion around the world will be fully supportive. I can't imagine any blow-back, none whatsoever.
Predicting the consequences of your actions is so overrated.
@ Divinewind
"Praying for the peace of Jerusalem" does not mean Jerusalem has divine sanction to engage in war all over the planet.
National Jersualem might have some peace if it hadn't rejected and murdered its Messiah 2,000 years ago. It hasn't known peace since.
That is the "Divinewind" of justice.
***If it is done it will be as a means of protecting their own people.***
If you think Israel can nuke another country and walk away unscathed you are delusional. WWIII will ensue and Israel will be destroyed.
Fully agree. Using nukes crosses a line. if Israel thinks it has enemies now, Jesus F'ing Christ, just use a nuke and see how much hatred that ignites.
Regardless if one is pro or anti Israel, in pure clinical and objective terms, it is our should be self-evident that...
If a small nation opts for nuclear war, that this is the end of that nation. No matter how much damage it thinks it can inflict elsewhere, the nuclear annihilation in such a small geographic area would be complete. And the afterglow would last for thousands of years. Not to mention that their people would be hunted down mercilessly in the rest of the world -- hunted down to the man, woman or child. They would be genetically eradicated.
Israel knows this, and all the other smart people know this also. The Nuke 'option' in no offensive option, in the final analysis. It is merely a retaliatory defensive option against a much larger nuclear power.
And Iran having one nuke or more, does not mean that Israel will be in danger. It only means that it cannot be attacked by Israel or the US, to prevent it from supporting Hezbollah. THAT is the real motivation there. And with a nuclear Iran, it would force the Likud to finally come to the negotiation table with more genuine intentions than they have to date. And this is where there real 'rub' is: Having a fair and negotiated peace settlement goes counter to Likud (read Zionist) strategic intentions. It is not against the intentions or interests of Israel (a nation of mixed political and ideological views), but against a very stubborn and well-financed subset of Israelis: the Zionists in the Likud. And, as the Likud goes, so does the US. Capisce/comprendere?
And likely trigger the Mother of all Pograms.
Israel probably will prevail against all its earthly adversaries in the end, but it won't prevail against the only one who matters. And that's one carpenter whose bad side I wouldn't want to be on.
You mean the one who is to come to their aid in the end?
Looks like you misunderstand. "Israel" ceased to be a tribe 2,000 years ago when the old covenant was broken. And it certainly doesn't mean a clan of deluded Khazar converts to Judaism descended from southern Russia.
See http://www.khazaria.com/ for reference.
@They trynna cat
Israel already lost that battle. Her horrific judgment (A.D. 70) for the murder of her Messiah is well-documented.
It is the twisted interpretation of the relatively-new "Dispensational" view of the Bible that gives any credence to the notion that its prophecies of Israel predict world dominion.
There is no longer "Jew or Gentile" in God's view. (see Romans 10:12). For "There is no respect of persons with God" (Romans 2:11).
The problem with the great majority of evangelical christianity in the west is they don't understand the difference between the Biblical ideal of Israel during the Old Testament, and Zionism which has nothing whatsoever to do with that.
"Israel" ceased to be a tribe of kinsmen 2,000 years ago. Anyone can be an Israelite today--you just have to let the right one in.
As for how things are going to play out from here on out, the Book of Revelation is pretty clear about that. And that has nothing to do with Dispensationalism.
The Book of Revelation has largely been fulfilled. It was written to encourage Christians about things that were "shortly to come" for "the time is at hand".
Who writes a letter to encourage others about to endure terrible persecution with events 2,000 (or more) years later?
Dispensationalism has done more to destroy true Christianity than many 'external' factors. (It's roots go back to a Jesuit theologian as a way to overthrow the Protestant faith)
"Who writes a letter to encourage others about to endure terrible persecution with events 2,000 (or more) years later?"
The one who knew what would come to pass in 2,000 years, because he is outside of time.
As for the "time is at hand" remark, the entire Revelation is written in allegory and code. The time has in fact been at hand for over 1,000 years now as we see the pieces moving into place. We know that the mark of the beast is the mark of a man, 666, and that mark is clearly displayed on the flags and synagogues of those still waiting for their satanic messiah.
You miss the point. Entirely.
John was writing to "the seven churches of Asia". The book has applications and truths for us today, but it was written AS A LETTER TO REAL CHURCHES in John's day!!
It was NOT written in allegory and code, (though it was written in apocalyptic language with reference to Old Testament imagery). In fact, John says at the beginning...
"Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand". (Rev 1:3)
There was a blessing upon those who read and understood the letter. To write so as to make it next to impossible to understand would have been a curse.
Further, for you to say that the "time is at hand" means it has been so for over 1,000 years, is as inane an argument as one could imagine, and makes the language meaningless.
To tell someone that something is "at hand" but know that it isn't going to happen for another 1 or 2 thousand years, is to be deceitful and a liar. Are you really willing to charge the apostle John with that in your defense of your wild interpretation?
That's like saying that Jesus' words to the disciples were directed only to them, when they were clearly meant as a message to all Jesus' later followers who would read the Gospel centuries afterward.
"If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first."
By your reasoning, the entire New Testament is to be read as some sort of historical novel wherein the words contained applied only to that present time or the time immediately after.
Also by your reasoning the beast (the antichrist) already came and went, since "the time was at hand," right? And what about the end of the world and the second coming as described in Revelation? Already happened, huh?
The official position of the Catholic Church is that much of the Bible is written as allegory. This obviously makes perfect sense when you consider examples such as the passage in Isaiah that appears to be speaking to the King of Babylon but is obviously speaking to Lucifer (son of the morning).
How someone could believe that the "Book of Revelation," that speaks to the end of the world, has already come to pass, is beyond me.
"How someone could believe that the "Book of Revelation," that speaks to the end of the world, has already come to pass, is beyond me."
You should never boast about ignornance on a public forum. It could come back to haunt you at a later time. ;-)
Go back and reread my post. I never said that the whole NT was to be read as a historical novel. What I am saying is that before you can get a right interpretation, you must consider the context in which it was written!
When Jesus said, "If the world hates you, remember that it hated me first," He was speaking to His disciples gathered around Him, and by EXTENSION and application to all His followers from then on. But He wasn't talking to people in the 21st century and IGNORING those to whom He was speaking, which is what you say John's methodology was.
This out-of-context interpretation of the Bible is the major glaring deficiency of Dispensational theology.
I'm not a Dispensationalist, and believing that the Book of Revelation is unfolding today is not Dispensationalism. So let's get that straight. Just as Jesus spoke to His disciples and by EXTENSION and application to all of us today, He also spoke to John and the churches of Asia and by EXTENSION all of us today. Reading the substantive message of Revelation that's pretty obvious to me at least.
So you don't believe that the Star of David = mark of the beast = 666 (six points six angles six sides)?
You don't believe that "those who claim to be Jews and are not" are the Ashkenazim?
You don't believe that "the beast" will be the antichrist who will rule from Jerusalem, and who receives his power from "the dragon" (satan), and that he will be worshipped as he makes war with Christian believers?
You don't believe everyone will be forced to receive the mark of the beast in order to be able to BUY OR SELL (exactly where we are headed with a one world electronic currency and eventual microchip implants)?
Based on your belief that all of God's punishment has already been meted out on this earth (as opposed to the afterlife) suggests to me that you're the Old Testament Dispensationalist, not me.
Divine Wind? Celestial Fart would be more appropriate.
too close to Russia. Russia nukes Tel Aviv if that happens
specifically,which europeans are you referring to?
Their free for a reason..
http://m.youtube.com/results?q=rpg%20fail#/watch?v=rWhvvnvvKLg
S-400 is the modern system and no way Russia is going to let the muslims play with it and/or risk it getting in the hands of the US/Allies.
Oh yeah, Libya and Iraq turned out great so lets do it again with Syria.
all they need is a serbian student and an archduke now.
I wish Russia the best of luck, but to quote Paul Mooney, "you can't beat the devil."
They've been doing it again with Syria for a while now. US/Nato arming so-called rebels,
and MSM reporting that as Rebels-good guys--Assad-Bad guy,and the sheeple just lappinf it up
"Israel doesnt bluff!"
Putin doesn't either... and who's the bigger thug in the 'hood? Not Bibi Netanyahu for sure...
"Well done" Hollande and Cameron! Things are going to escalade faster than you can say "merde/shit"!
I don't know why people think Putin is a bad guy. He's one of the few leaders (I honestly believe) who has the best interests of his country and his countrymen in mind instead of ONLY being interested in enriching himself. Now is Putin going to not maintain some amount of wealth? No that would just be suicidal.
So what is Putin worried about? The "Russian" mafia seems to be his biggest threat internally. Nothing external can match, and we all know that the "Russian" mafia isn't really Russian at all...
Always remember, Israel will fight to the last american.
and to the last american tax dollar
Israel nukes Damascus .... gold lower .... stocks rally ! LOL
Gives new meaning to the phrase "Buy the Dip".
If you meant to be ironic/sarcastic, it went over the heads of your down-voters, like an S300.
"Has anyone else heard of the Samson Option?"
It'd only work IF Israel were invaded 1973-style. So far Bachar onyl tries to defend himself from NATO/Wahhabi attacks...
And the S-300 will be used against Obama's drones... which will be launched over Syria soon. US tax-payer's money at work... Aren't you proud?
Smart man.
In fact, drones will be used to make the S-300 reveal itself.
Then they will be taken out.
Syria must not be allowed to defend itself.
Syria's self-defense is "offensive" to Israel, just as Israel's "self-defense" is offensive to all of its neighbors. War is Peace, Ignorance is Strength, Freedom is Slavery.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YorwoqFGCn4
The same mentality as the gun control crowd.
You can't have guns to defend yourself because it interferes with our ability to control you.
"In fact, drones will be used to make the S-300 reveal itself.
Then they will be taken out."
Right. Is this before or after the Russians jam GPS and spoof the drones into landing? They've already practiced this.
Not likely. I would think the S300 would be able to detect drones and pass the target information to fighter jets that could scramble to shoot them down.
Looks like Russia looking to get rid of some old rocketry, and will leave the trash heap (thanks to forthcoming Israeli airstrike)composting to Syria.
Still... it doesn't look good for Russia if their gear proves useless. So I doubt taking it out will be all that easy.
Finally, the Israelis need to actually feel the pain of the wars they start for once. No more young American boys need to die for these Yid bastards either.
Thumbs down from the Warmongers and/or paid Hasbara. Try experiencing combat before advocating that others go in your stead.
Where are those suitcase nukes when you need em?
I take it you're referring to a False Flag operation as a pretext to... whatever.
But be careful, such a device can be made by virtually ANY nuclear power. I'd have to check (with Mr. Spock), but I think that the 'signature' can be faked also by those few who know what they're doing and have the means to do it. Meaning: you could 'pin the tail' on almost any ass (donkey) you wanted.
Things are starting to get interesting...WW III? Sure looks like how it would start from all the scenarios I've ever heard of.
Try to explain to the average Libtard that the "people" of the US have absolutely nothing to do with the running of their so called Country. For that matter, try explaining it to a RHINO. What does all this crap have to do with 9/11 again?
Try explaining to anyone that the Mossad carried out 9/11 and you'll be admonished and shunned as some type of crazy person. Unreal.
Once they own and control all of a country's media, they own and control the hearts and minds of that country's people. Just like Bibi said, the Americans belong to Israel.
Then that footage of Osama Bin Laden watching the planes fly into the twin towers over and over thinking He did it is funny... jhc on a stick.
Looks like Assad learned a history lesson by watching what happened to Iraq etc.
Not much a threat to not import the Russian hardware when you know you are going to end up dead with Exxon mobile oil flags stabbed all over your country.
look noble... it's in the interest of democracy, okay?
IF, Mid-east/nth africa oil/gas was to be priced in euros(unlikely,now) or CYN,or Gold,rather than $US, the current US hegemony would be over.
End of the American century/empire. ,Being able to print the currency in which Oil/Gas/Commodities are traded is all that keeps the world's biggest debtor nation afloat.
therefore,TPTB will do,WHATEVER to maintain that hegemony.
Which may well include WW111
Yup,
Ain't about oil or access and it hasn't been. It's the mighty petrodollar. The longer it holds the longer the plundering can continue.
Why is oil going higher when everyone is using less and holding larger reserves?
To soak up those extra dollars pumped into insolvent banks that are leaking into the 'real' (manipulated) economy and to keep them from coming back to the US and triggering inflation beyond what already exists and crashing widespread confidence in the Dollar.
Ponzinomics.
Life in the USA is gonna start sucking hard when we have to pay for oil (and every import) with real money instead of printed funny money.
Imagine a million Chinese drones flying in to aid Syria. They will make a move against Western Oilygarchs before long.
I've long dreamed of a Chinese army pushing 6 million little warmongers back into the sea. Unfortunately that'll only send most of them to the US or Europe to further fuck us over.
Moar Cowbell...!!!!!!!!
Those are bad ass missiles... but don't forget the missiles that fly underwater.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shkval
"You sunk my sub!"
"In fact, drones will be used to make the S-300 reveal itself.
Then they will be taken out"
Cos Bachar will gently park his S-300's in line after he used them? Hey, your tactical sense is simply extraordinary!
Methinks by sending S-300's Putin is making sure the Russian naval base he has in Syria (located in Tartus) will be secured without having to press the red button himself.
Pretty smart if you ask me...
It always cracks me up when some Zionist stooge swaggers around talking tough about Israel's military capabilities. Without all the American weapons technology those cowards stole and blackmailed over the past 60 years, they wouldn't stand a chance against Arab kids with slingshots.
Must be nice to live in a fantasy.
Spot on Trynna.
Me thinks you have not a clue about modern battlefield strategy and tactics.
Neither do your boys in the IDF either, evidently, as they got their shit mopped by Hezbollah just a few years back.
Easy to talk tough when you've got an 800lb gorilla fighting your battles for you.
You are reading WikiBS far too much.
This is totally incorrect.
How come I get the feeling that the U.S. really doesn't care about them...They voiced concerns but they didn't throw a tantrum...
Maybe this is why....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtuN8UuAWTg
Missiles have arrived.
Enough of this idle chit-chat, let's smash things up!!!!!
this is the first time anybody has pushed back against globalist ambitions in the region, the irony is of course that it's another globalist doing the pushing.
that's not to say they don't compete with each-other and it would be a mistake to assume they are one big happy family. maybe Putin is trying to shake down his cohorts for a bigger place at the table or maybe he has not been given assurances that Tartus will remain under Russian military control once the US/UN backed terrorists (maybe but becoming increasingly less likely) oust Assad.
or maybe he sees the reality of the situation on the ground and realizes that these so called "rebels" are getting there asses kicked all over Syria by the Syrian army and have no hope winning militarily. he sees the west's plan for Syria has failed spectacularly, the Army stayed loyal to Assad, the foreign, jihadist, extremist al-ciada terrorists have been outed publicly and Assad finds himself with the moral high-ground while his forces are turning engagements into routes.
i think he see's this as an opportunity to assert Russian influence on a geopolitical scale that has not been possible for decades. after all, it is becoming increasingly more apparent that despite globalization the east and west still view the world as one giant chess board and Putin just moved to knock a few of the west's pawns off the board, while saving his own...
welcome back to the cold war.
Or More like he want's a piece of Israels new gas field so that he can keep his finger on Europe's throat.
God forbid Israel and Qatar get their pipeline installed thru Syria.
A couple dozen S300 launchers can be rendered completely useless with simple drones armed with hellfire missiles. Either waste the missle on the drone (which it might not hit) or be taken out by a relatively inexpensive and easily replaceable missile. Even if they had 100 launchers which they do not, it wouldn't take more than 24 hrs to eliminate them completely.
Syria has an airforce for dealing with drones. Drones are for terrorising helpless people on the ground, can't really be used against an airforce and an army.
Please don't forget that the Syrians also have varying numbers of SA 2/3/5/6/8/9/11/13/19/22 in addition to the S300 (SA-10), a lot of handhelds (SA7/14/16/18 etc), and AAA. They do not need to waste S300s against Predators/Reapers and such.
Hey fumduck, when your radar lights up you don't know if it's a drone or an attack plane. It's up to 150 km away. So the guys manning the missle battery have to make an imperfect decision and take action.
If they are using counter measures as any Nato country would, any attack will LOOK LIKE thousands of false images. Or your screen will be a total haze. As soon as you leave your radar active for a while or fire a missile, that is the bait -- now a real plane will locate and take out the battery.
Try to keep up with the grown ups or STFU.
Ignorance and Ineptitude all in the same package... How efficient.
Maybe you could stop watching the know nothing pundits on Fox News and get a clue.
Thanks for playing kid... The grown ups have got it now.
This is nice field-testing of Russian HW and systems. First in Syria, to prep for Iran -- which gets REALLY hot and serious for the US/Israel.
Those drones would have to get past the radar
Maybe it's worth a try but maybe it fails.
You have no idea how many missiles were shipped.
Also, drones aren't cheap either so there may be far less drones than missiles in most cases.
Correct me if I am wrong, but the missiles are surface to air and CANNOT be used against a target unless Syria is attacked via the air again by a rogue nation such as Israel?!? If they are used then it will be the aggressor's fault, not Syria's ... or am I missing something?
You're missing the twisted logic of Zionism.
You are wrong, so I will correct you. The missiles have a range of 150km. So if the battery is stationed near the Syrian/Israel border, it covers MOST OF ISRAEL. It could be used to threaten most of their civilian air space.
How much Syrian air space does the iron dome violate?

No you crazy guys said that.

/It pisses me off when Clingons time-travel and sneak to Earth, impress some semi-literate shepherds of questionable hygiene with their Shock & Awe show, and tell them that they need to follow their (Clingon) code of personal and social conduct, which is centered on a hard-ass, Clingon-like deity. What a devious way to take over the Federation: By changing its past on Earth. /s
no dice.

Israeli correspondent for military affairs: Contrary to Assad's declaration, Syria hasn't received any shipment of S-300 missiles.
old... old news!
money had been paid and cleared through various russian federation banks
indeed... some big russian banks not willing or unable to transact large amounts of syrian drafts for past and future payment, for fear of 'bis', et.el
israel isnt attacking/targeting russia per se if it destroys russian made weapons used by muslims, but those who are using these weapons, dont get your panties in a bunch, there s not going to be a war between israel and russia ever. Russia couldnt care less if the muslims who bought their weapons got those weapons destroyed, as long as they paid for it.

Hezbollah attacking rebel-held town in Syria:
http://mobile.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-22710915
Good for them. And how's this for a laugh:
"The US State Department has demanded that Hezbollah withdraw its fighters from Syria immediately."
Step back and consider the forest instead of looking at the trees: The plan for the New World Order that was set forth by Samual P Huntington in his book, The Clash of Civilizations and Remaking the World Order, was for Russia to be the center of one of the six or seven cultural blocks into which the world was to be divided. I assume that may include Syria and Iran as well as various Caucusus States and some other States in that region. It will take a little more push, to form them into a close coalition. That is what I suspect these current events represent.
But, what is planned for the other side?... Isreal's use of a WMD on Syria, in particular, a tatical nuc on Damascus, provides the justification for their complete destruction. That also meets the conditions set forth in the prophecy in Odediah (as most Jews, today, are descended from Edom more than from the Hebrews.) --- Not that I believe those prophecies but I believe that some people who have more faith than reason will expect them to transpire and be guided by them. So, they may well happen. --- They predict the utter extermination of the House of Edom. That will be the real holocaust, which the West and Germany has already paid for, and it also is the intended outcome of WWIII.
The stage is now set.
We will leave Syria not one day later after we remove chem weapons from Assad. Sorry for the inconvenience of friendly fireworks from sky in coming months.
How many Russian missiles do you think the Israelis can make the Syrians buy before they get hip?
I love Muslim on Muslim violence.
