Do we know what was actually bombed and the effect?
Visions of blackened sky or a dessert rapidly filling with oil. Sounds like a ecological disaster.

The Coalition are very well aware of such matters. It looks like the RAF were given targets in the Omar Oil Fields as part of Operation Tidal Wave II.

Now, however, everything seems to be fair game except those points where the oil reaches the surface and the makeshift refineries, which are run by civilians. The U.S. is still keen to avoid an environmental disaster; it is also carefully avoiding civilian casualties, which means the refineries—really just boilers run by locals—are off-limits. In recent weeks, the coalition has started hitting oil truck loading platforms at fields. It’s also targeting oil and gas separation plants for the first time, having destroyed 13 plants so far this month. Heavy machinery that might be used to repair facilities is also being hit. On November 4, strikes destroyed multiple cranes, rigs, excavators, pipefitters, and a front-end loader in Syria.

The Russian strategic submarine, the Vladimir Monomakh, has carried out a double Bulava ballistic missile test launch from a submerged position in the White Sea, successfully hitting two targets in the Kamchatka region in Russia’s Far East.

“Salvo firing from a submerged position was made in accordance with the plan of combat training. The parameters trajectory of two ICBM ‘Bulava’ worked normally. As confirmed by objective monitoring, the missile warheads successfully arrived at the Kura test site in Kamchatka,” the Defense Ministry’s press service reported.

U.S. Navy’s Trident II D5 Missile Achieves New Test Flight Reliability Record

Sunnyvale, Calif., Nov. 10, 2015 – The U.S. Navy conducted successful test flights Nov. 7 and 9 of two Trident II D5 Fleet Ballistic Missiles built by Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT). The world’s most reliable large ballistic missile, the D5 missile has achieved a total of 157 successful test flights since design completion in 1989. The D5 is the sixth in a series of missile generations deployed since the sea-based deterrent program began 60 years ago.
The Navy launched the unarmed missiles in the Pacific Ocean from a submerged Ohio-class submarine. The missiles were converted into test configurations using kits produced by Lockheed Martin that contain range safety devices and flight telemetry instrumentation. The test flights were part of a demonstration and shakedown operation, which the Navy uses to certify a submarine for deployment following an overhaul.
“This reliability record is a testament to the unwavering dedication to the deterrence mission by the Navy program office, the submarine crews and the industry team,” said Mat Joyce, vice president of Fleet Ballistic Missile programs and deputy for Strategic and Missile Defense Systems, Lockheed Martin Space Systems. “Building on a six-decade history of success, we’re moving into the future by implementing new engineering methods that will pave the way for continued innovation and performance.”
To support the U.S. Navy Strategic Systems Programs, Lockheed Martin is incorporating modernized electronics technology to cost effectively prolong the service life of the D5 missile design on current and next-generation submarine platforms. These two missile flights formally qualify the new flight control and interlocks electronics packages for deployment in 2017. The modernized avionics subsystems, which control key missile functions during flight, enable missile life extension through 2042.

What were the USN doing testing Trident over Russia?;):D

I assume that was claimed as a rocket test too?

Yes it was. It was a Bulava failure. Russia admitted to it.

A spectacular spiral light show in the sky above Norway on Wednesday was caused by a Russian missile that failed just after launch, according to Russia’s defense ministry.The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed that a Bulava ballistic missile test had failed. …. “It has been established … that the missile’s first two stages worked as normal, but there was a technical malfunction at the next, third, stage of the trajectory,” Reuters quoted a Defense Ministry spokesman as saying.

I think you’ll find that the parliament hasn’t yet approved bombing in Syria…

UK Forces can strike targets in Syria if required. The UK could have used Tornado GR4s and Brimstone for the attack to kill ISIS fighters Reyaad Khanand and Ruhul Amin in Syria, but chose Reaper and Hellfire.

… & why the RAF spend quite a few Strom Shadows on pickup trucks.

You have mixed up Brimstone and Storm Shadow.

As I was saying all along…

And you believe the report? I get it though it is a mindset. Sad that you lap it up!

Turkey has just announced that it’s aircraft have shot down an aircraft in accordance with its rules of engagement.

Turkish military now saying that it was a drone.
