The “fairly muted response” by the IDF involved attacks against three Syrian air defence batteries, four targets involving Iranian forces deployed in Syria, plus and five other unspecified targets.
Yeah sure…it’s a miracle Syria has anything left after all the Israeli bragging
Potato-man
Time to deploy Arrow/IronDome on the Northeastern border?
Time to deploy SAM’s in Lebanon?
JSR
it is constant high level meetings. by this Russian will have good idea about Rafale and other exported equipment in region that fly around.
Interesting
@Marcelogo
As a paradox if what they say as a form of self denial would be true that would result in a whole s…load of bad news for them.
10.000ft too high of a quote for engage Syrian air defences?
20 missiles of three different types getting all together on the same target of opportunity, making part of a strike package of 8 planes?
Just near your own main base in the north of the country?
well said
So far a fairly muted response by the IAF…just a lot of chest beating via the media
“Rebels”, AQ, IS…same sh*t
Just different factions of the same movement/organistation
It would be the same if in WWII you said we are fighting against the SS but the Wehrmacht is our ally
Just checking the cargo bay is empty
I very much doubt Pantsir could shoot down LORA. Engagement time is very short and would require near optimal conditions. I can well believe they shot down something, more likely a cruise missile or maybe a drone.
Well it had to be either EXTRA, Predator-Hawk or LORA….or maybe it was those nasty kamikaze birds in action again
Point is: it is based on an old – in fact very old – airframe, finished with new engines, new avionics and maybe certain new parts but structure-wise it is the old Tu-160 … just a new-built. Period, and IMO discussing these differences is not talking about nothing.

It is well known that there are 4 unfinished airframes from the early 90’s which will be finished as part of the Tu-160M2 project…why is this such a big revelation ??
Airstrikes at Al Bukamal.
Some speculation that the filming is done by a new type of UAV

I know you may find this difficult to understand with all the Sputnik horsesh@t in your ears. But free press, means free press. As in, even if some, all, or no one disagrees with a pundits views, they still have a right to express them.
Yeah I know…as long as it’s not the work of devious pro-Putin fake news agents (basically anyone advocating a change in foreign policy) or “Hybrid Warfare Russian Propaganda” then they can get banned, have their platforms closed down for “breaching community standards”… :highly_amused:
So have you guys caught any Kremlin Gremlins yet? I mean after a year of hysterical witch hunts, you’d think there would be something tangible by now? Or is the Free Press just going to continue it’s steady drum beat of propaganda and hope for the best
@sepheronx
NDF also operates with the SAA in the area, so they may face large casualties as well.
I know….but it (SAA/NDF) amounts to the same thing more or less
It looks like the attack has been repulsed but fighting is ongoing

@FBW
It is a pundit expressing his opinions (however right, wrong, or inaccurate). He isn’t a mouthpiece for the government or any faction thereof. It is exactly the ability to publish articles that may challenge convention, or be contrary to prevailing views that make freedom of the press. And however odd, or incorrect his opinions (as Tr1 stated below, in an Op-Ed), he certainly has that right. You know, in the vein of Voltaire?
My, my…such a brave soul :highly_amused:….parroting the same war mongering propaganda we’ve heard for like forever…which basically amounts to stoking the war at every chance and preventing peace breaking out at any cost
@TR1
mfw when people don’t understand what “Opinion” piece means.
Geez captain obvious :applause:…I mean what would we do without you
Major IS counterattack in progress…while the IS figures may be exagerated, little doubt that there are pretty heavy SAA losses
Islamic State announced the capture of 4 villages in Deir Ezzor province: Shoula, Kabejeb, AlbuOmar, Al-Jabaliyah.
65 Russian and Syrian soldiers killed at Shoula and Kabajeb village. 2 Russians captured alive (denied by Russia). 4 Tanks destroyed.
What sort of retard write up is this by the author …..A Meltdown
Nothing unusual…just the free and independent media at work 😎
@KGB
If the 2016 election in the US and the 2014 to 2017 Syrian war did not make you question……
It’s been pretty obvious for anyone with half a brain long before that…but yeah, since last year, since they’re feeling threatened and vulnerable, even the last pretenses were dropped

The Russian Army has erected a pontoon bridge at Deir Zoir (NE sector) apparently under fire

Austin,
you naughty boy… spreading “State Sponsored Propaganda” again 😎
Here’s some more…SAA footprint is increasing on the East bank of the Euphrates
Under the cover of Russian airstrikes, the Syrian Arab Army was able to cross the Euphrates with little-to-no resistance from the retreating Islamic State (ISIS) terrorists.
Once they reached land, the Syrian Arab Army attacked the small town of Al-Nashid, where they were met with some resistance from the Islamic State forces.The Syrian Arab Army was able to impose full control over Al-Nashid after the remaining Islamic State terrorists were forced to retreat east of the town.
Oh I get it, you are daft enough to actually believe everything that comes out of Russia because it is “not the Amuricans”. RussiaDefense.net is that way.
Thread topic is VKS in Syria. Not American ISIS “cooperation” on the ground.
There you go again…more self-congratulatory, paranoid, idiotic commentary
