Caught On Tape: Russian Warships Launch 26 Cruise Missiles At ISIS Targets

Tyler Durden's picture




 

On Monday evening, we detailed the Russian hardware being used in Moscow’s campaign to rout anti-regime forces and restore the government of Bashar al-Assad in Syria. 

As we noted in our preface to that feature, “watching Russia effectively humiliate the West by bragging day in and day out is nothing if it’s not amusing, and indeed the leaked diplomatic cable from 2006 which outlines Washington’s intent to effectively start a civil war in Syria leaves one completely uninclined to be at all sympathetic to the ridiculous situation the US and its allies have found themselves in.”

That, along with the fact that Western nations like France are not only unwiling to admit that the West's participation in Syria has been an outright disaster, but are now set to "correct" a refugee crisis by bombing the very place from which the refugees are fleeing leaves us inclined to highlight the following video (out today from the Russian Defense Ministry) that shows what happens when a military superpower decides that because an existing aerial campaign has become akin to shooting fish in a barrel, it might be time to do some sea-based target practice on a few Nike-wearing, black flag-waving jihadists…

From RT:

Russia’s Defense Ministry has published a video of its warships firing cruise missiles from the Caspian Sea to hit the positions of Islamic State militants in Syria.

 

“[Last] night the ship strike group of the Russian Navy, consisting of the Dagestan missile ship, the small-sized missile ships Grad Sviyazhsk, Uglich and Veliky Ustyug launched cruise missiles against ISIS infrastructural facilities in Syria from the assigned district of the Caspian Sea,” the ministry said in a comment under the video.

 

According to the ministry, the Russian military attack was conducted “by high-precision ship missile systems Kalibr NK, the cruise missiles of which engaged all the assigned targets successfully and with high accuracy.”

 

On September 30, Russia launched its military operation against Islamic State at the request of the Syrian government. Since the start of the operation the Russian military have destroyed at least 112 objects, including commanding pints, ammunition depots and armored vehicles belonging to jihadists.

All here.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but don't those cruise missiles fly through other countries' airspaces?

To reach Syria from the Caspian Sea, cruise missiles would fly, what, a few hundred feet OVER the ground (NOT in space), and those countries would be (shortest route) Iran, Iraq then Syria.  Otherwise over Turkey...

38DD - They can fly withing a few hundred feet of the ground, but you can program them for any route/altitude. I'm sure Russia wasn't worried about evading radars so they used a more reasonable altitude to keep them from bumping into anything near the ground along the way. They would have had to be pretty high just to get over the mountains in Iran - something like 15,000 ft.

By the looks of this graphic (if it's accurate at all) they were routing them between the 'big' cities in Iraq: Baghdad to the south and Erbil/Mosul to the north. Range wasn't a problem - the published range could have taken these all the way to the tip of Yemen (acutal range is much longer).

Permission to overfly from Iran and Iraq wouldn't be a problem. The Turks/NATO would never allow them to overfly Turkey.

Russia's forces in coastal Syria, and offshore, are no doubt carefully watched by the USA, in order to quickly warn US assets when the Russians fly their sorties.

By striking overland from the east, the Russians might have just killed a major fraction of the CIA/Academi guys still in Syria.

Yippee Ki Yay, Motherfuckers.

"...By striking overland from the east, the Russians might have just killed a major fraction of the CIA/Academi guys still in Syria..."

That's maybe a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it, August? There's got to be a couple million in Syria by now, minimum. Most of ISIS, al Nusra, the FSA, and probalby a good portion of the Syrian Army has been replaced by CIA/Academi guys. The Rojava Kurd military and civilians are pissed because they were ALL replaced and are now jobless and homeless. The refugee crisis is our fault because we replaced so many people in the Turkish refugee camps with contractors that the real refugees are being forced out. In fact, I'm pretty sure most of the general Syrian population has covertly been replaced by CIA/Academi guys - even the kids (we use little people as replacements).

And Assad - do you think that's really him, or merely a cleverly disguised CIA/Academi contractor that went under the knife to LOOK just like him? His wife and kids were secretly replaced years ago. That's were we get a lot of solid intel from.

If the war in Syria ends suddenly, the U.S. jobless rate will ratchet up another 3% overnight because of all the unemployed Academi people. Which brings up another interesting point. Those employees at the Bureau of Labor and Statistics and the Labor Department? Yeah... CIA/Academi.

Lmao, this wasn't about killing ISIS. Think about it, would you kill a fly with a hammer?

it was about putting the US and Europe on notice, big time!

26 cruise missiles fired from the Caspian sea, so let's see, how many European cities could have been taken out with  a similar launch out of the Black, Mediterranean, Baltic and North Seas?

How many US cities could have been leveled by similar attack from Russian and Chinese subs?

It's game nobody wants to play except for Israel, the ones truly behind all this ME bullshit.

I hope Tel Aviv gets turned to glass if shit kicks off.

"Lmao, this wasn't about killing ISIS. Think about it, would you kill a fly with a hammer?"

It's been explained by the Russian Ministry of Defense. Some of this ISIL terrorists have air defense systems, and the Russian military is not willing to risk the lives of their pilots. Long-range missiles were therefore the best way.

From 38BWD22, quote, "Please correct me if I am wrong, but don't those cruise missiles fly through other countries' airspaces? To reach Syria from the Caspian Sea, cruise missiles would fly, what, a few hundred feet OVER the ground (NOT in space), and those countries would be (shortest route) Iran, Iraq then Syria".

Correct. That, indeed, was the missile trajectory, as explained in English, with an accompanying diagram, by the Russian Ministry of Defense on the Russian news channel RT.

I red a story a few months ago and I cannot find it.  Supposedly, Russia has some subs or will have some subs in the Caspian.  They will have Bulava's which can fly 6,200 miles.

Because the subs are not in the ocean, they are not counted as part of the number of nukes with missile treaties.  There are no other subs or really any enemy ships on the land locked Caspian.  So they can park these subs in the Caspian and reach any place in the world.

no, Russians have no "quotas" in anything. They don't understand positive discrimination:-) On the other hand, I find them to be far less racist in general, than Westerners. After all, Russians have lived with other ethnicities and cultures for many centuries (muslims, buddhists etc.). As for minorities in Russia, there is not many African heritage persons, but a lot of Asians everywhere. This is a great video from one of the Asian republics of Russia with a message to white-supremacist Ukrainians:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpnyYNkveBQ

This looks like a slightly more sophisticated production than the graphics presented by the Western Media and Pentagon explaining how a Russian based missile shot down MH17 over Ukrain. That said, this just out on that topic;

Typical MSM reporting there from the Telegraph and they don't allow comments on the article.  Also it is odd that the Ukrainians are saying that BUK missile fragments have been found in the bodies but the Australian autopsies (evidence has been presented at a coroner's court in Melbourne Australia) showed that metal fragments were found in the bodies but were very rare (25 metal fragments in 27 bodies) - now I am no expert but if a BUK had exploded near a passenger jet, I would have thought you could reasonably expect to find hundreds of bits of metal in each body.  Source: http://johnhelmer.net/?p=14117

You are right. A BUK detonation would have produced a huge cloud of projectiles. Tens of thousands. But MH-17 shows no damage consistent with such a detonation. It does show damage of an Air to Air missile with much smaller detonation, and also clear evidence of 30MM cannon fire.

It is believed the Ukrainian jet first released an air to air missile which took out an engine, the aircraft them began a turn losing speed and altitude, allowing the SU-24 to approach and finish it with it's cannon. Witnesses on the ground, dozens of them report seeing and hearing just such an event.

I posted many videos on Twitter of a BUK launch and interception of a target aircraft. The massive vapor trail leading to the target would be somthing no body could forget, or miss seeing. Thus no BUK was fired. The vapor trail lasts for anywhere from 5 - 15 minutes, so no way would it not be seen.

The Australian report found no evidence of BUK shrapnel in the bodies. This was reported, but is now being covered up as far as possible.

MH-17 is being covered up because the USA lied about this event, and Kiev is also running scared from the evidence. If we just investigated existing evidence, Kiev would be found guilty at once. Since the evidence is being hidden, including Black Boxes, Air Traffic Cntrol Tapes and Air Traffic Controller, along with reports from pilot autopsy. etc.

If Russia had any responsibility in downing MH-17 [regardless if it was intentional or not], it would have been all over western propaganda media outlets over the past year. It would have been nonstop bashing from every CIA asset in the media and then some. Instead... silence. It's pretty fucking obvious who is responsible if you're not a retarded degenerate lamb like most 'muricans.

Unfortunately no, my dear, "love the ruskies" certainly wasn't the plan of zionists, that happened very spontaneously and naturally:-) Zionists are still VERY desperately trying to spin the same propaganda about "evil Russians" killing poor moderate terrorists in Syria. They have even returned to the ridiculous MH17 plane false flag in our European media. Recent titles in Western newspapers: "Russian shrapnel found in MH17 victims is further proof plane was downed by separatists" "Russia trespasses into Turkey's airspace" - well, sorry, nobody here cares about Turkey either. 

The problem of zionist media is that they keep repeating themself too much. Right now, Europeans don't give a damn about MH17, silly Ukraine etc., they are too busy cheering for Russians killing those evil terrorist muslims. The zionist chatter can no longer reach most of the European audience. The propaganda war in Europe is lost. 

Zionists overplayed their hand. They are now suffering from the famous imperial overstrech:

1) They have spinned so many lies that they cannot control the narrative anymore. 

2) They have too many games going on in the world simultaneously. This is why they are now loosing control. And this is why NWO is retarded! No one can control the world (unless he really is God Almighty)! It is simply too complicated to do. You can compare it to juggling with too many things at once and continuing adding more and more. How long can you keep that pace??? There comes a moment, when you add one thing too much and everything falls down.

US airstrikes were merely resupply missions.

Either that or the guys had to lock on target and go "pew, pew pew!"

We used to wage war like that too. Of course, we were 7.

No, because there are no reports of demolished hospitals and you can bet your last cent that if they had hit ANYTHING that could be portrayed as "careless" we would all know about it by now. In fact come to think of it, I'm surprised the lying bastards haven't wheeled out some old footage of a school/mosque/market being hit and blamed it on Vladimir and his "crappy 1980s" cruise missiles - coz as the whole world knows, ours are sooooooo much better - honest.

That's a nice impressive video, but the middle east problems aren't the kind of thing you can fix with a few cruise missles.  After WW II, the USA and GB divided the middle east into parts where we installed strongmen that could keep their regiion under control.  Sadam wasn't a nice guy, but he did maintain order between the Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites.  Then for whatever reason, maybe gettig Iraq's oil off the market for another one of our buddies, we decide to remove Sadam.  Now, along with many other middle east countries, we have destabilized the region which is creating lots of unintended consequences. 

I suspect the only to 'fix' the region would be to turn large areas into glass - which probably isn't going to happen because it is so politically incorrect.

Living systems of all types share a trait of increasing fertility and toughness when placed under severe stress. If you want to create black swans and increase a population, you oppress that population of living organisms.

If you want to make a society fade away, you make them comfortable and "rich".

If you want to find the most diversity in fungal life, you find an area with anti-fungal plant material (like composted lavender branches). It works the same in human systems.

SgtShaftoe "Living systems of all types share a trait of increasing fertility and toughness when placed under severe stress"

I agreee, but there are also some individuals and groups that only respect force.  I am sure you have run into those sorts now and then - you know, the guys who will insist they are right and take advantage until faced with overwhelming force. Then they back down and become meek.  That's the personality of many middle easterners.

If Russia and China open up a true free trade channel to the ME trouble spot countries it will likely be the quickest way to stability. Things would likely be relatively calm and modern in about 2 generations. That approach will encourage the local population to manage the extremist elements at the local relationship level.

All other avenues of mitigation have some mega-iceberg like secondary and tertiary orders of effect.

well, someone once said: "Russians have always been very poor, but they have always been an important country during the course of history. Why? Because they have considered themselves important." The West will now have to learn that again. Russia does not need to be too rich to be important. 

I remember one video, where Putin answered the question, what is the main difference between the USA and Russia? And he said this: "In current times, we have almost no ideological differences. But we have fundamental cultural and psychological differences. At the foundation of American self-consciousness lays an individualistic idea. Russian self-consciousness is collectivist. There is one Pushkin researcher, who described this exactly and clearly. In "Gone with the Wind", the heroine says: I'll never be hungry again. If I have to lie, steal, cheat or kill, I'll never be hungry again. So for her this is the most important thing. In the mind of a Russian person, hunger is not important. There are other objectives. Something beyond the horizon. Something more soulful. These are very different philosophies of life. This is why it is so difficult to understand each other. But it is possible. We must always look for that, which connects us."

 

There was also a poll in Russia, where people were to rank several things as more or less important. I cannot remember all the points. But two of them were: "better economy" - "for Russia to be important in the world". About 80% Russians put "Russia important in the world" on the first place and better economy only after that. This is why no sanctions will ever work with them:-)

If Russia was serious about removing Western puppets from Kiev they'd be out of the office and splatted all across Europe in less than 30 seconds.

Now watch ISIS become ISNT overnight. I bet all those ICBM's combined cost less than 1 CIA-trained terrorist.
