Israeli Subs Destroy Russian Missiles In Syria; Russia Holds Largest Post-Soviet Military Drill

Tyler Durden's picture




 

While the (chemical) dust over Syria has yet to settle, one country is not waiting around before in tried and true fashion it kicks the proverbial hornets nest. Only this time the recipient of Israeli aggression is not some small country that can hardly afford to defend itself against made in the US, state-of-the-art weapons: it is Russia, if only indirectly. Last Friday, July 5, in the fog of the Egyptian coup, a contingent of 50 Russian-made Yakhont P-800 anti-ship missiles at the Syrian port-city of Latakia was destroyed. It has since become clear that the attack was launched by none other than an Israeli Dolphin-class (German-made) submarine according to a report in the British Sunday Times, which in turn contradicts a previous report that the attack had been the work of the Israeli air force.

Furthermore, the alleged Israeli naval strike was closely coordinated with the United States. While this open aggression on Russian interests in Syria for now remains unchallenged, one wonder what happens when the news hits that US-made weapons supporting Syrian "rebels" have been mysteriously blown up by Russian rockets and how furious the public outcry would be against such an open Russian provocation.

From Jerusalem Post:

According to the report, the Israeli fleet of German-built submarines launched a cruise missile at the weapons cache after which Syrian rebels reportedly attested to hearing early-morning explosions at a Syrian port-side naval barracks.

 

On Friday, anonymous US officials told CNN that Israel had carried out an air strike on the Syrian city.

 

Three unnamed US officials told CNN the IAF had targeted Russian-made Yakhont anti-ship missiles that could pose a threat to Israel.

 

Qassem Saadeddine, spokesman for the Free Syrian Army’s Supreme Military Council, said the pre-dawn attack hit Syrian Navy barracks at Safira, near the port of Latakia. The rebel forces’ intelligence network had identified newly supplied Yakhont missiles being stored there, he said.

 

“It was not the FSA that targeted this,” Saadeddine told Reuters. “It is not an attack that was carried out by rebels. This attack was either by air raid or long-range missiles fired from boats in the Mediterranean.”

 

A loud explosion was heard near Latakia on Wednesday, an opposition monitoring group said, but the cause of the blast was unclear.

Fast forward one week when we learn that in a perfectly unrelated event, a massive military drill involving naval forces, strategic bomber aircraft, missile-defense teams, tactical and strategic missiles, infantry, and armored vehicles took place in Russia's far east: a perfectly unrelated exercise that just happens to have 160,000 soliders, 1,000 tanks, 130 aircraft and 70 naval vessels that has been classified as the largest of its kind in the post-Soviet period.

From RFE:

An unspecified number of Tu-95MS strategic nuclear bomber aircraft reportedly were being readied for combat missions at an airbase in the Amur region. An armored brigade with some 100 tanks made a 1,100-kilometer rail journey from Buryatia to the Tsugol testing ground in Chita Oblast.

 

Tank commander Dmitry Manyukin told the Russian TV news station Rossia 24 on July 14 that his company's final objectives in the exercise had not yet been issued in order to test the ability of Russian troops to respond quickly to freshly received orders.

 

"The peculiarity [of this drill] is that [although] we deployed here 24 hours ... it hasn't yet been disclosed to us where we will move from here and what we will be ordered to accomplish," he said.

 

According to Manyukin, the emphasis on being prepared for rapid deployment was being emphasized by the Defense Ministry in Moscow.

 

"Since the appointment of the new Defense Minister [Sergei Shoigu], combat readiness has been treated very seriously," he said. "Very strict demands have been put in place for combat readiness ever since."

 

The 83rd Airborne Brigade has been ordered from its base in Ussuriisk to Sakhalin Island, where an amphibious assault will be carried out in coordination with assault ships "Oslyabya" and "Nikolai Vilkov" assault ships.

 

A mobile radiation, chemical, and biological defense brigade has also been taking part in the exercise.

And speaking of hands on...

Putin has said he might personally participate in the drill, which is scheduled to end on July 20.

Surely this news alone, even in the absence of GDP-boosting riots, should be enough to send the S&P futures to 1,700 in tonight's upcoming Kevin Henry inspired, low volume melt-up ramp.

I don't think we have an actual common defense agreement/commitment with Israel nor are they in NATO, so Russia would be deterred from using nukes by the Israeli nukes and "only" conventional counterstrikes would be possible.

IMHO, Israel is not going anywhere,regardless of who attacks them,ever.Woe unto those who come against them,we could be witnessing the TRUE last days beginning.IF they are attacked directly and or invaded by Russians,we will see the wrath of God like never witnessed before or again.Jerusalem is the apple of God's eye, and for the remnant of HIS chosen people,Israel will never again be conquered by any nations armies.And the US WILL come to their defense,and all hell breaks loose.

The reality for Israel is grim and the Zionist regime knows it, hence these increasingly desperate attempts, like a wretched spoiled child, to attract attention to itself. The response will be complex and unexpected though I believe Israeli commerce will be subject to a massive cyber and media attack during key dates for its economy.

With respect to arms shipments to the FSA, the author is correct, they will be impeded. The FSA are a spent force and will in all likelihood turn on their Qatari, Israeli and Saudi sponsors at the first opportunity.

The US and Israel needs to be very careful about Syria and the middle east in general. By Israel being aggressive during internal political turmoil it's crossing the border. Up until now Israel has shown admirable constraint (thanks to the US state department).

China would also team up with Russia.  It would be very easy for the Obama administration to misjudge it's international liberty.

A diplomatic CYA card is my guess. Putin can play hard ball with the best of them and he knows it, but it isn't called for here. I am guessing Russia is more like China with regards to regional vs. global hegemony; lessons the US government would do well to learn before it gets hoisted by it's own petard.

I agree with your proposition that he helps Snowie under the false pretense of being a good guy.  Then Mother Russia downloads all Snowie's intel and gets to review it first as a quid pro quo for his amnesty.  Snowie flies on to elsewhere and once out of Mommie Russkia's arms continues to release and embarrass Hummerika after MuthaBBBrushka has made preps, done their dirty that they may do in preparation for release and response to releases.

Great chess plays.
they get the "inside info", look like good guys all around and Snowie goes riding into the sunset continuing to embarrass HummeriKia...
Win win all around except for the New Normal's Evil Empire.

Nikita Khrushchev backed down when American power confronted the Soviets over a missile crisis within America’s zone. Putin is not Nikita Khrushchev and the Syrian area where a civil war takes place is in Russia’s zone.

Israel’s action, if confirmed, would underscore the foolish and irresponsible relationship America has had with Israel over the years. And make no mistake, Israeli aggression drags America into the conflict on the side of the aggressor.

In Syria’s civil war, the United States has taken a side and clearly Russia will be solidified in taking the opposite side. And this crisis is precipitated by a tiny, foolish country armed to the teeth by its patron and mad beyond any modern standard of states craft.

At this moment, when Russia contemplates temporary asylum for Edward Snowden, the entire intelligence network of the United States is on the line, perhaps including vast information on the Mossad’s activities concerning the American government. And Netanyahu’s maniacal warmongering may be the spark that blows the American Empire apart. At the very least, a phone call from Putin to the White House can now achieve incredible progress in putting America in its place as the blackmail flag can now be raised.

And the Congress of the United States only has itself to blame.

That Khrushchev "backed down" is part of the western media bullshit history.  Here is a cut from Wikipedia:

On October 27, after much deliberation between the Soviet Union and Kennedy's cabinet, Kennedy secretly agreed to remove all missiles set in southern Italy and in Turkey, the latter on the border of the Soviet Union, in exchange for Khrushchev removing all missiles in Cuba.[77]

The idea about getting IRBM's as close as possible to opposition targets comes from the idea that it gives the opposing country much less time to launch their own missiles upon learning of a nuclear attack.  Krushchev was worried that the US advantage from launching from Italy and especially Turkey would inspire the "hawks" to go for a first strike.  So he decided to put the missles in Cuba to neutralize the advantage.  The idea that they were to stop a USA renewed invasion attempt is ridiculous on the face of it.  As a matter of fact, Khrushev actually came out ahead with the withdrawal of the US missiles from Italy and Turkey.  That was what he wanted all along.  Since Kennedy, as opposed to the psychopaths on the JCS, never intended to make a first strike anyway, he didn't feel he had much to lose with this deal with Krushchev and a whole planet (intact) to gain.

I posted this on another thread earlier, but it is worth considering; I am not sure at all the USG 'leadership' is taking Russia and China seriously enough, as a result of their DC Hubris...

The Russians and Chinese can disrupt the items outlined below, and may in a way become allies of the US People....

 

Americans are woefully ignorant of the MB infiltration into the USG.

Chalky is the primary connection between the totalitarian Left and the MB.

Been to DC lately? I have. In just 4 years the amount of muslims and mosques have exploded like mushrooms in the district and surrounding areas.In some places you might easily think you were in Saudi Arabia. This complements the large number of domestic Stalinists, Maoists, etc he put into office upon overthrowing the government in 2008.

Chalky's job is to bring a combination of international Left/Muslim rule to America, voiding its Constitution and eventually creating an authoritarian regime. All the EOs updated or signed during Chalky's tenure are complete. He has built a machine and is awaiting orders to turn it on. It makes the Enabling Acts under NAZI Germany tame in comparison, although the scenario is a close duplicate of the history of the Third Reich.

The purpose is several fold: take down the US financial system; place the US under an international globalist power system with the fig leaf of "sovereignty;" eliminate borders and install a regional or international currency after the Crash; dispose of any Americans who will not accept the 'Fundamental Change' or who actively resist.

From the Left's point of view, Ayers was probably correct in estimating about 20 million AMericans will not co-operate, requiring their mass liquidation.

It is important to note, however, that, like any Plan (made by Man), things can go wrong. It is up to Americans to react in time or successfully defeat the Plan if they awake too late to prevent it.

The goals of the two groups which share this fascist view coincide for now. I am still trying to analyze how the two groups will hash out Control after they achieve their goal (both being unaware of the manipulation of the PTB, or a belief TPTB will "side" with them after the near goals are achieved).

That class of sub is very small and has total of zero ICBM tubes.

It is suspected that the stretched Popeye Turbo is the primary strategic second strike nuclear deterrent weapon which can be fired from the 650mm secondary torpedo tubes of the Israeli Dolphin class submarines.[1] It is believed that the SLCM version of the Popeye was developed by Israel after the US Clinton administration refused an Israeli request in 2000 to purchase Tomahawk long range SLCM's because of international MTCR proliferation rules.[6] While the standard Popeye is 533mm the Dolphin class submarines have four 650mm torpedo tubes in addition to the six standard 533mm tubes allowing for the possibility that a SLCM Popeye derivative may be a larger diameter.[7]

This 'missile' is pure-speculation on the part of a writer, who has clearly never seen such a missile. So there is zero confirmation of any of it. There is a difference between pure speculations and material realities, and web pages full of alledged unsubstanciated nothings are not evidence of anything. What it is though, is one more page in the thousands of pages on the net, about missiles which turn out to not even exist.

No.   There were a series of test launches in 2002 off the coast of Sri Lanka by an Israeli Dolphin class submarine.   The launch is known.   The history and payload of the missile are not.   But there is a capability.   A stretched Popeye is most likely, given the range in the observed launch compared to the possible range given the fuel in a standard Popeye missile.   The other alternative would be a Tomahawk launch.....but the US publicly refused a request by the Israelis for sub-launched Tomahawks.   That leaves an indigenous missile based on the Popeye as the most likely explanation.

The person making the claim is the person with the onus to substantiate the claim, not the person who says you haven't substantiated your claim, you've just made shit up and want me to believe you.

I wonder, is your choppy, disjointed and fragmentary manner of expression just an honest representation of a scattered and fragmentary way of thinking?

After doing successful battle with assorted rabid anti-gold trolls, flat-earth deflationary nitwits and Chinese Citizenism roadside crappers, pinning you to the mat would be small potatoes indeed.  Not that I feel any great motivation to do so, of course.
