The strike group of the US Navy led by the nuclear aircraft carrier "Harry Truman", passing in the evening of November 15, the Strait of Gibraltar, entered the Mediterranean sea. This was reported today by Interfax with reference to the data of the Automatic identification system of movement of ships (AIS).

The group follows in the direction of the Eastern Mediterranean, where in the spring of 2018, its carrier-based aircraft struck targets in Syria. Then it was originally planned to hit the government facilities in Syria, but in the end the aircraft from this aircraft carrier attacked the terrorists of the "Islamic state" (banned in Russia) in Syria as part of the operation "Unwavering determination".

Before that, the aircraft carrier was on a four-day visit to Lisbon, which was timed to the anniversary of the end of the First world war. Before that, the aircraft carrier group participated in the NATO exercises "United Trident – 2018", but left them ahead of time due to bad weather conditions.

On Board the "Harry Truman" deployed 90 aircraft and helicopters, and accompanied by an aircraft carrier missile cruiser and four destroyers. In total, they can carry more than two hundred Tomahawk cruise missiles. Recall that in the last attack on the Syrian government positions were involved about a hundred "Tomahawks".

It remains only to find out what goals the Pentagon will choose in Syria. There are, of course, only two options – the positions of the Islamic state militants or government and military facilities (as it was on April 14 this year). However, the first option may be a problem after Russia has supplied the Syrian army anti-aircraft missile systems S-300 (and there is a suspicion that it is the Russian military these systems are now serving).

Large Scale forces for the SAA are arriving at Idlib, under orders to prepare for the "New Operation" possible battle of Idlib about to start.

I cannot see Russia letting Assad do this right now, it's a bad time for them. Not that there will ever be a good time.

Unless Putin is waiting to finish the meeting with Trump and depending on how that goes give the Signal.

Troop deployments include the 4th Division and the 5th corps. If those forces are heading there under orders to prepare for an Operation that is pretty telling.

There also has been constant arty fire for the past week that's a pretty clear sign they are getting ready.

But I am 100% certain that real cause is this, not Azov stuff:

Stand off missiles were used. No jets entered syrian airspace.

Update8: I can confirm that the S-300 didn't launch any missile during the engagement over southern Damascus.

There is no report of israeli missiles hitting anything so ...

Tonights target locations:
HQ of the 121th brigade
HQ of the 72th brigade
Depot of medium-range missiles
Iranian bases in the Zabadani region
Iranian positions in the area of ​​Alkaswa
Hezbollah positions in #Daraa CS
Hezbollah positions in #Quneitra CS

Who operates HQ of the 121th brigade , HQ of the 72th brigade and depot of medium-range missiles?

Are Iranians stationed there?

This video shows Pantsir-S1 or S2 of #Syrian Arab Air Defense Force scoring at-least 3 kills on Delilah cruise missiles of #Israel Air Force over Al-Kiswah near #Damascus using 57E6 and 57E6-E missiles and firing constantly their 2A38M 30mm autocannons two hours ago.

Israeli cruise missile parts care of the Syrian Arab Army Air Defence Forces turning it into expensive scrap #Syria #Syrianarmy








Indeed there was a small battle.. seems Syria managed to defend from all attacks..
the only question still around is whether the claims an Israel plane was shot down or not
are correct. maybe it was a missile and they confused it with a plane.. in any case
if there was a plane they will have shown it.. unless in crashed away of Syrian borders//

Okay Seig, are you trying to tell me that all that circus at Kerch bridge was diversion so Israel could launch couple of missiles at low priority targets (Iran) in Syria?

An not even go with aircraft to get PR points over Russian AA systems? Plus some nonsense over INF?

It kinda looks like too much hassle over nothing.

And am I only one here who thinks that INF treaty is BS waste of time designed for nothing more than to keep Eurotrash from getting roasted as warning shot in nuclear war?

They should be meatshield number 1, not some precious snowflakes.

Looks like that IAF strike could have been an operation to allow a bit of data gathering by these vultures.

During d evening they were off the coast of #Lebanon & #Syria, a #Israel|i Nahshon plane, #NATO Boeing E-3A & an #US Poseidon P-8A absorbed all the #SAA & #Russian anti-aircraft batteries, including the S-400 batteries, thus mapping the map of threats in the most up-to-date area

Looks like. Had been deliberately flown with slow strike weapons to see if Poliana-D4M1 is active and where exactly which systems are now and who instructs them.

PS: Syria Mig-25 all aktiv

There is a war already ,an Undeclared war on Russia and Syria  ,by US ,UK and Israel..

look at that map , is a coordinated intelligence operation between them on Russia military and its hardware.

And all this actions of them ,are just preparations to enhance the efficiency of future attacks

not against ISIS but against Russia and Syria.

Hopefully Putin will get his shit together , and get the message that Russia and US +Israel + UK are at war already..

just not openly declared and have a plan for countering this..

Jamming US and Israel warplanes ,blocking their signals should be mandatory .

But at same time without revealing information of Russia air defenses and counter electronics capabilities.
