Syrian War: News #22

When guidance is cut, missile fly ballistically, so its fly path was predictable after missing the plane.

Is it ballistic though... does it shut down the engine and then just fall, or does it just keep flying till the fuel runs out and then falls?

I understand why the Usraelis feel suffocated. All around they see enemies. Because they are not just a displaced people. But also a misplaced people. No cure for their sickness, other than death or emigration.

Unless you have a death wish you do not provoke a stronger enemy, you wait until you have gained sufficient strength to at least make that enemy think. I'd say that Syria/Russia/Iran have played a pretty astute game, being much better placed now than 5 years ago. That is the game now playing out.

I'm sorry but the Israelis (or to be more accurate, the Zionists) made their bed, now they can lie in it. Many moons ago they made a few strategic decisions, war not peace with their neighbours, expand as much as possible, implement apartheid, infiltrate the US political system for financial and military gain. They have been amazingly successful in all four areas but it had the consequences we now see writ large.

In particular, the now unstoppable rise of Iran, once the home of a very large Jewish diaspora, that they have succeeded, again very successfully, in turning into an implacable foe. As a response they are now moving to support the despotic regimes in the Arabian peninsular as their next, increasingly desperate, throw of the dice.

Yet again, for the umpteenth time in history, Syria is again turning into the anvil. Hence the US and Turkish activity in the country and the slowly increasing confidence and reactions of the Syrians. Putin told Israel that Syrian forces were off the Russian AD leash and the IAF ignored it. I suspect that the IAF have no doubt now that their aircraft, if they strike Syria, will be pursued regardless of who's airspace they are in. They know that, if they keep pushing, the S-300 will come off the leash as well upping the anti. We get an indication from reports that Iran may be upgrading SyAF AD so will be after some real world practice.

Israel is very aware that they are in a real bind now. Their confidence in their AD has just been shattered. If the SyAF down say an F-15 in Israel what do they do? Take it on the chin or heavy response? If the latter do they get a barrage of SAMs and SSM in response? Before they know it Hamas and Hezbollah will have fingers twitching on their fire buttons.

They sowed the seed now they live in fear of the whirlwind.

No need for officials to do " ANALYSIS" or decide. The people analyse. They decide. THEY DECIDE....... Officials do what they are told by the people ( parliament). They declare war. They accept defeat or victory. You are responsible to supply FACTS. FACTS ONLY.

Dream on.

Iran's power will not be growing now, with all the sanctions. No big purchase of fighter aircraft or their manufacture in any significant number. Army probably can not get any stronger. Navy expansion needs decades and massive investment, not displayed by available numbers. Missile force is at maximum. No Nukes because of internal politics. Diplomacy is at dead-end. While there is actual physical damage to infrastructure by attacks, and even worse the continuous psychological damage to morale by attacks not properly responded to.

You are far too pessimistic. Iran is getting stronger all the time, in part due to investing in making its friends stronger. I have no doubt that an oil for fighters deal is underway. The days when Israel could attack are now gone.

Also re the tanker fire, looks like a welding screw up.

A fire that erupted on an oil tanker off #Syria’s coast had not been caused by a military attack, but broke out due to incautiousness and lack of safety precautions, said a Syrian military official, correcting an earlier report

TankerTrackers: The tanker that burned yesterday off the coast of Baniyas is not an Iranian vessel, but a Beirut-registered tanker called WISDOM. The vessel helped Iranian supertanker ARMAN 114 offload 300-350 thousand barrels at a time due to depth restrictions.

More on the tanker. Almost all, apart from it not being an attack, not as previously reported

The explosion of a tanker off the coast of Syria:
The military men of "RussVesna" on the spot managed to find out what really happened.
The UAV attack is completely ruled out, the fire occurred inside the vessel.

It is reliably known that an explosion occurred on the Iranian tanker "Wizdom" (under the flag of Panama) in the middle of the deck due to a short circuit in the electrical network, which caused a fire. There are no casualties.

The commander of the grouping of Russian troops in the SAR made a decision to send an MI-8 helicopter with a spillway device; it made 6 drops to the fire site with a total volume of 30 m³.

By 18.00 the fire was extinguished, the danger of spillage of fuels and lubricants in the sea was prevented.

Does anyone know if he has a new Twitter handle (or any other platform for that matter, like Telegram/discord/gab)?

Thanks in advance

Try DaggRober.

Last nights IAF attack was inland halfway between Latakia and Tartous. Must be in the Hmeimen air defence zone and must have been from the sea.

During the night it appears #Israel conducted an extensive airstrike in Northern #Syria. This was a larger scale operation than the usual airstrikes we have seen in the last several months.

Multiple sites were targeted. A civilian asset was struck in the Al-Samra / Al-Haffah area, causing the death of a civilian, and a Syrian military site in Deir Shamil, near Masyaf was struck, injuring personnel

Israel just killed a Syrian civilian and wounded others. The IDF bombed a plastic warehouse in Lattaquia.

Video of the air strike.

Russian air defense useless. Syria has to be delighted. No good advertising for Russiche products and security. It's just embarrassing that.
Israel can do what it wants. When is it finally end? That was now in the core area with Russian S-400 coverage. Russia loses all credibility.

When Iranians get it their heads that West Syria is already taken

The Russian components are there to defend Russian forces and Russian bases, Israel is free to "defend" itself by striking targets it will claim to be Iranian weapon stores or threats to Israel.

Of course Syria does not have unlimited air defence systems or capabilities and I am sure they don't have all their best systems protecting plastic factories.

No indeed not however with them carry out hundreds of strikes already with who knows how many more to come, there won’t be much manufacturing left = less jobs, weaker economic activity post war. Perhaps that’s part of their military strategy, to weaken Syria in every possible way and do it under the guise of their ‘defending’ horse shit mantra.

I actually agree that Russia should be also intercepting those missiles Israel launches if they are getting closer to Russia's controlled sector. To make it clear to Israel without actually posturing hard.

But it may be a case that such missiles can only be intercepted at rather close ranges. What most posters here forget, or ignore, is that missiles that fly low, doesn't matter if the S-400 has 300km range. That range is reduced greatly unless there is an AWACS flying around and picking up said objects at long ranges.

Otherwise, the system is there to protect against fighter jets, bombers and other bigger targets that do not fly low. For engaging missiles, it is more up to Tor, Buk or Pantsir to hit those and I'm not sure Russia has BUKS in Syria.

So that would mean those missiles would have to be flying within range of about 20km or so.

So the american and european taxpayers spend another 100 million bucks to destroy an old factory worth 50.000 bucks. Great victory for the western countries!

Perhaps they use soon to be expired munitions for simple targets like civilian infrastructure? Still real time training for pilots too win/win.

Can't remember attacks by Israeli helicopters for a while.

i have been explaining for years already ,with out much success in enlighting the zombies in this
forum ,that Israel is not only at war with Iran , they are at war with Russia too. as a matter of fact
Russia is far more important target , than iran for the zionist state. The Syrian war ultimate goal ,
the most important of all goals , was to create a new Soviet vs afghan war part 2 , to give Russia
a vietnam in syria. This is why israel is attacking Syria economic infrastructure ,sabotage the pipelines underwater of syria , hit at syria oil facilities , this is why neyanyahu also help azerbaijan to attack armenia ,that they know russia is under obligation to protect.

So US ,UK and israel are at war with Russia.. is an undeclared war , and putin is pretending that this
is a "syrian issue" but is Russia destruction through a slow ,bleeding war ,what the anglozionist nazis states wants. The day Israel intentionally ambush a Russian spy plane , they intentionally provoked the death of russian officers about 12 of them and Russia own animations ,of how their intel plane was shotdown ,shows Israel was bombing right there very close to Russian base in latakkia.


So israel is not a friend of Russia, they are enemies ,and they fought against Russia soviet times too during union too , during the egyptian war vs israel. israel is an enemy of russia ,but in front of cameras ,they just say is only iran what they want to target. but vast majority of their attacks are against syria and not iran. When israel airforce ambushed the russian spy plane to get hit by an s-200s missile (the putin official story , most likely they shot it down with an f-16 missile) Russia sputnik news even detailed how israel military , not only did not apologized to russia , but were making fun of how poor precision and how outdated are russian s-200s. They travelled to moscow
"for talks" to explain "what really happened" but in reality there were there to humiliate Russian military and putin even more and make fun of it. They even found a solution to the problem , and told they need to use better precision weapons , next time to bomb syria.

Israel is at war with Russia and putin is doing nothing about it , he allows they to continue threatening their soldiers lives , and he is fully responsible for the shutdown of their spy plane for his passive and weakness vs israel that only encourage them to continue to attack syria .

and their intention is to destroy every missile that russia give to syria ,oppose Syria recovery from the war , keep the war going , and keep russia military there , in an endless war ,and to humilliate russia even more , So the zionist state is pushing to keep alive the war as long as possible.. the more time Russia is forced to stay in syria ,the more money russia will have to spend in protecting syria and their soldiers.


This is why i have been saying putin , is a bad president , he allows nations to harm his soldiers with impunity , he don't have any policy to stop israel or the west ,other than to hope one day israel will get tired of slapping the face of putin in syria. Because putin don't draw lines to israel , and threaten them with shoting down their planes if continue attacking syria ,they see no reason to stop ,because no consequences for their actions .

the entire thing ,the entire syrian conflict could have even been avoided , had putin did not developed russia as a gas station ,that depends of stability in oil prices to survive , reason why
russia is in the middle east.

So the slow death ,the anglo zionist powers are planning for Russia is to create as many syrian/ukraine like scenarios in zones of russia major economic interest ,to keep russia in a dead trap , of an endless wars in as many places as possible.

Russia aims for good relations with all countries... only the west demands obedience from all the countries it will trade with.

Russia has very specific goals and objectives in Syria, but they are not there to help Syria fight Israel, or Iran fight Israel.

Getting dragged into such a conflict in no way benefits Russia and I don't really think it would help Syria either in the end.

The minor occasional attacks by Israel probably do less damage than their current support for terrorists... take that away and they will likely expand support for their terrorists and try to escalate things in other ways.

Would be nice to see some country give Israel a bit of a bitch slap, but the US and the west will rise up and defend their puppet master no matter what...

Syria and Iran need to start by cleaning house because Israel is obviously getting intel from more than just satellites.

The question is: Why does Russia do not provide TOR-M1 to Syria? I already asked this question in 2012.  PanzirM1 is not sufficient and reliable enough. Only TOR sufficient and reliable . We also see that on your own Russian Air Force Base.

The attack was in the core area of the Russian air defense. A distinction where the attack was limited to 10 to 25sec. Russia must have previously known where the attack goes.

Either Russia stops these attacks diplomatically or it stops this military. The credibility is otherwise zero.

Iran uses this more and more and continues to turn China. Russia is not reliable. Iran and Syria could provide important capacities for the future but Russia lets both hang because of Israel.

Russia doesn't give a **** about israel/iran mini war in Syria. They never hided that fact.

And they won't give tor for free. Neither did they gave any new weapon for free. Mostly what they gave is outdated stuff that they want to get ride off.
