Syrian Forces Fire Missiles At US-led Coalition Aircraft Attacking Them In Deir Ezzor – Unconfirmed

Early on February 27, aircraft of the US-led coalition carried out strikes on Syrian government forces at the village of Salhiya in the province of Deir Ezzor, according to pro-government sources.

Then, pro-government sources claimed that government forces had reportedly responded with launching anti-aircraft missiles at the aicraft attacking their positions.

An unveryfied video even appeared online showing the alleged moment of the government forces’ response:

If these reports are confirmed, the incident will show the growing level of tensions between the Syrian-Iranian-Russian alliance and the US-led coalition in the Euphrates Valley.

You can call me Al

Just down the SOB’s (unless is it British).

John Whitehot

why?

Paulskiy

I dunno, maybe something along the lines of attacking the legitimate army of a nation on its own territory is in fact against international law. That army being the ones eradicating sex-slavers, beheaders of children, terrorists killing thousands, looting oil, looting ancient artifacts, destroying world heritage sites. When you defend these types of people you get what you deserve.

John Whitehot

yea yea, i was asking why not down it if its british, i should had pointed it out.

Paulskiy

Yeah, it’s a sad state of affairs. I don’t know about you, but when I grew up we all looked to America for moral leadership: the old shining city on a hill, thing. Now, something seems rotten in Washington, and, unfortunately, its puppets in London, Berlin, Paris, and beyond, seem to have decided conquest is better than dialogue and cooperation. Strange as it seems, I tend to look to Moscow for the moral leadership nowadays.

John Whitehot

I agree with you, it’s sad.

I was watching a TV serial from the early 90ies, and the US seemed another country altogether.

Nonetheless, I believe that humans in general don’t really need moral guidance, moral and ethical code it’s already in them.

In my opinion, Russia is behaving according to that code, while everything the US is doing is contrary to it.

It’s also largely a matter of the human quality in the leadership: when you allow – no, encourage – people to lie, steal, fuck and kill each other to reach the top of their careers, you end up with the worse kind of scumbags at the top of the top, people that has stepped over dead bodies and ruined thousands of lives to get there. It’s almost a mathematical thing.

Add to this, that the real leadership is actually a shadow government that does not get elected by the people. A hidden oligarchy that has temporal power over every single elected official, up to the president.

You can call me Al

Because I said so and I a Brit.

John Whitehot

that answers my question, thank you.

You can call me Al

I am a Brit – apologies.

roger temple

I’m british, and I say shoot british aircraft down as well. Serve them right for being where they should not be.

You can call me Al

But we don’t have any planes….

roger temple

We do, but they don’t fly. Bust from the makers.

You can call me Al

LOL, nice one.

Joe

It’s about time …. if not send in the Houthis (but with lots of ATGMs)…. sure the Americans will lose to them. Bare footed that cannot be targeted from the air as American planes have to fly high to high to target humans.

Now that the Russians have sent their latest SU57s plus Su35s that I believe have been linked to the Su57s for effective communications ….let’s see.

velociraptor

Nothing will happen.

Joe

Your grandfather told you again?

If US attacks, it is confirmed … retaliate no more being quiet even though Assad is a timid type . How on Earth can westWes morons label him like you do as a butcher? He is so tame

velociraptor

Why put you so idiot questions?

Look at the history of russian atatcks against IL and US Army!
I write about facts, you abaut your fake dreams.

Joe

Tell us where Russia loses . So far Russia has won Syria and everywhere where Russia is involved even in Ukraine. Russia calls the shots.

If Russia says “Nyet” , it has been recorded and proven US back off.

Hey .. your two F22 was very daring vs F25 but when just ONE SU35 showed up right behind the F22 , both ran off double quick.

Now that is only the SU35 which at close range can easily take the two F22…but long range with Su57? they will free the F22 and F35s …all easily detected.

My are facts … provide your facts … I am all ears.

velociraptor

Russia did not won in syria, because syria is divided.
Russia lost ukraine. Crimea is nothing. Without ukraine the russian eurasian project is dead. russia lost with this everything. consequences? kazakhstan declines from azbuka and will use latin alphabet. this is very important thing, ruskies very slam them. kazakhstan goes closer to china. in central asia are from month to month sronger chinese, within 2 decades will be no more russian, but chinese sphere. in ukraine lost influence. without eurasian project russia has less value also for chinese projects.

f22 was not daring. they checked su35 and then went away, the ruskies do the same thing over baltic and black sea. according to your logic ruskies dares weekly.
su35 never will take single 1 f22, not two of them :DDD if raptors are in combat mde, su35 will not recognize them. will be shot down before the pilot see anything on monitor.
btw., 13 russkie missiles were released on 1 f15, and were able ti hit it. because of pilots mistake. dozens of other ruskie missiles did not hit any other IL plane. so, after decades i see still low level ruskie technology.

you wrote no facts, only your fantasies.

Orcbuu

Bitch PLEASE, stop talking about History you have no clue what was really going on in the time of the Tartar empire.
I give you a small but VERY IMPORTANT clue, our mainstream HISTORY is a LIE.

Anti_Globalista

If I had known it would create such a hatred towards my nation, I wouldn’t have fuc… your girlfriend, and your sister when I was serving in your country. Sorry, but I couldn’t refuse when they came begging for a good one.

velociraptor

russians suppressed decades my nation. they are the same animals like nazi germans.

when you, as soviet soldier were in my country, you were kicked daylly by your officers. i have fotos and films, what did the offocers of soviet army with soldiers.
during those years you were never outside of barracks, beacuse you should not see better niveau then in bestse soviet union. :DDDD

but… when i was in Su/russia, i fucked your girls, women :P

Anti_Globalista

Barking impotent western dogs – dreaming that their cowboy owners would invite them to the table instead of throwing bones once in a while. You deserve to be bossed around by the “civilization” where teachers have to carry guns to protect their students. Now shut yor a-hole up and go be proud on a gay parade. Anything that is still good in your nation are children of us – great Russian nation soldiers.

EoF

I agree but russia isn’t exactly winning in ukiestan imho

Jacek Wolski

Answering a question with a question! You’ll never get your point across with that strategy, mate! ?

John Whitehot

“just ONE SU35 showed up right behind the F22”

it’s 99% sure that there was a second covering the intercepting element.

Tudor Miron

write sbout facts? Lol! You hide behind keyboard while supporting terrorism and spreading lies. How many shekels today?

velociraptor

Tudor Moron, you cen list here the russian attacks against israeli and american planes. I wait…
… but i know, that you, little moldavian rat will not react.

Tudor Miron

What? America (I’m not even talking about brave hasbara boys) attacked Russia? Last time they did remnants of U-2 spy plane were all over the place.

velociraptor

U2? :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD typical ruskie moron. decades want to live from one success. :))))

how many yankie blackbirds did you shot douwn from taht time, huh?

how many missiles arranged you in cuba? oh wait, you were permanently shittiing, when america decided to go in war. so, yanks are nen! they are brave!

back to my earlier comment.

we are in syria now:
you can list here the russian attacks against israeli and american planes

Tudor Miron

There would be more if they would dare to try again. But that one was enough it seems – many decades past but they’re still shaky.

velociraptor

so, how many times attacked ruskies IAF and USAF in syria?!

Tudor Miron

Trolly boy, if I you didn’t get it I will repeat it one more time: Enough troll feeding for today. Go sell yourself alswhere, I’m not interested.

velociraptor

Of xcourse, the giant-mouth ruskie hooligan, when can not show evidences, swearing leave the comment setion. ty chuy!

So, zero times. Dont be ashamed, this is putins failure. But if you lie, that how brave are you, you bacem a troll and idiot!

John Whitehot

at least he kept his name all the time, something you can’t boast about.

velociraptor

IF.

Uses.

SNEAK.

John Whitehot

“how many yankie blackbirds did you shot douwn from taht time”

Blackbirds weren’t shot down because they were intercepted and had to turn around away from soviet airspace.

Soviet aeronautic literature is full of such reports of Blackbirds intercepts by Mig-25 and 31, you are even able to read them but in the total state of corruption your intellect lays you fail to even tend at the historical reality.

if you really think that Blackbirds ever entered Soviet airspace for more than a minute you must live in a Reagan era hollywood movie and become crazier and more jealous at every post.

don’t take my advice and keep it up, but if you are looking into aging without becoming mad you better drop the hate and start a hobby or something.

velociraptor

HAHAHA

Peter

@tudor Miron; I believe velociraptor can be bought for ’30 pieces of silver’

velociraptor

Btw., yanks informed ruskies before bombing of their mercenaries. Moscow shruged the shoulders. All time lives the hotline between yanks and ruskies.

According to intercepted communications the attack of wagner group was allowed by both moscow and damascus.

Russians are hooligans. Brave against old and children, rabbits if come men.

So, again: russians will do nothing.

Nosferatu

If Russians did nothing, there would be US navy in Sevastopol, ISIL flag over Damascus, NATO forces in Donbass and Japn flag over south Kurils. None of which happened. Russia always respons but as it is playing against a stronger opponent it must do so smartly in order not to start WW3.

Joe

Velociraptor,

Is that all? You are just like the Nikki , trump gang .. all so childish .

You have any logic in you? US may have given Russian informed just before attack and Russia must have said “No” but definitely not go ahead you fool. No one is such a fool to say yes… But the US proceeded anywhere and Russia was not prepared for it as F22s etc are used.

Russia does not want to start WWIII , and the damaged was done.

Just look how did the Russians responded….. SU57 and new Su35s that must have been configured to work with Su57 electronics !!

So now try to bomb Syrians and Russians now if you dare … I tell you first … US would not dare now if Russia says “Nyet” . US is really a coward actually and will not go against Russia if Russia puts its foot down. Its a proven fact.

It is only that Russia under Putin is a chess player … look how he made friends even with US allies….like Israel and Kurds.

… I still waiting for anything that says… US dare to take on Russia and win .
We all have seen how Russia responded to US and won … so far Ukraine, Crimea , Syria … and now even winning over Turkey !!!

Better still everyone now wants to buy the S400 over the lousy Patriot that fails all the time. Tested SM3 with Japan lastest …failed.

velociraptor

Russians did not say anything. Russians did not give order to their mercenaries for retreat. This is moscow. Gruesam, kills own citizens.

Aha. until now i heard, su57 is the bestestest thing, which flied ever. 1 pak destroyes 10 f-22s.
i think, pak is NOW 4,5 generation plane, therefore the russians pipes down.

btw., of course, yanks will not reflect russian nyet, when russians attack them. therefore are the yanks better soldiers and winners.

us dare to take on russia :DDD
boy, ruskies told, thes are lords in syria. we see, everybody can kill ruskies, syrians, the famous russian army is hiding itself.

yanks told: we dont care about ruskie aa/ad systems,pak, we overwhelm, destroy it if necessary. i see, yanks fullfill their words, ruskies bluffed. again. as always.

th laughly thing is, how much think ruskies and their asslickers, that they are strong, while they are weak. russia in economical sphere is as strong as italy. in quantitavie parameters. in qualitative 10-15% only. with 300 realtive modern planes, 25 armatas russia is clown, if it want look as big grizzly. :DDD

i looked at movie with shoygu. he is old, fat. also most of general around him. untrained, heavy drunkers. what a pathetic, miserable army! i remeber, how ran drunkan ruskies in palmyra before isis. i suggest, read a long blog abaut what happened there from Sidorenko. he brutally slamed ruskie soldiers. (i wonder, he is not killed by fsb!).

young unpadavan, try to coexist with facts and truth. otherwise comes the cognitive dissonance and you end in hands of psychiatrists.

John Whitehot

“i looked at movie with shoygu. he is old”

like you are young and fit and don’t do booze.

you are already talking from the cesspool of human history.

velociraptor

compare with yankee generals. they are well trained, not fatty.

Overwatch D.VA

do not reply to velociraptor. his posting MO is to distract the discussion and make it go out of topic , he do not aim to create a discussion , he aimed to distract the people who tried to correct his intentionally stupid posting style.

it is the hallmark of hasbara trolls working in tel aviv who paid shekels to spread lies.. and it suited their DNA as their father also liars..

velociraptor

i see troll, you dont have DNA, but DVA.

John Whitehot

of course.

Yet as adults we can manage both responding to jewnazis and keep up the points of the conversation. Comments can be made in reply to others, so really all the threads are separated.

Overwatch D.VA

of course , as long as everyone know that the MO of hasbara trolls always the same , make some stupid comment that will distract the discussion topic at hand..

see this velociraptor hasbara dude did to every article ? see the pattern and you will recognize that he just want to ruin the discussion and certainly not trying to understand truth and facts.

Tudor Miron

Nothing new. Troll keep spreading BS and keep hiding behind keyboard. Who are you brave terrorist supporter? Why do you hide?

velociraptor

The truth about you is painful, isnt it? :)))

I wrote, someday i will visit you in Moscow. :P

Tudor Miron

You? Lol. To ask for forgiveness? You can’t even answer where you are from, what’s your name and nationality. You prefer to support terrorists from behind your keyboard. Leading from behind – that’s your fate.

velociraptor

i wrote. i invete you in restaurant.

no, in internet i will never use my name.

Tudor Miron

Invite me “in restaurant”? Don’t even try – I’m not interested in men and hasbara boys. Those “values” you should keep to yourself.

velociraptor

hahah, you are stupid ruskie. i am sure, the western ruskiefans do not know, that you define yourself as asian nation. :DDD for long centuries. your leaders and popes chose to be enslaved by tatars then cooperate with europeans. this primitive asian mentalyity i feel also in your comments. do you know, why are you so comic? bacause when we accept your wish and consider you as asians, you huff, get sore.

little moldavian moron, focus yourself better on russia. kill the ologarchs. thos will help to your country.

I think also this.

Langaniso Mhlobo

USA and SDF have attacked Syrian army for so many times but Russia never responded by helping Syrian forces.Since Iranians have start operating Pantsir S2 with Syrian and allies now there is causesness.Please don’t respond to this agents who cant proof facts on grounds.

John Whitehot

“USA and SDF have attacked Syrian army for so many times ”

the Syrian Army seems to be in top shape in sending terrorist shitsacks underground.

If the Syrian Army starts losing ground and battles because of the “many USA strikes” you’ll have a rag of a point.

Until then you’re just a troll pretending to be an african who criticizes Russia and in general those who oppose zionists.

Because you people are so fucking desperate that you have to invent dissent and criticism hoping for them to start for real.

Langaniso Mhlobo

You are worst then CNN or BBC news.Useless rubbish agent.you don’t have military training.As a person who fought against your grandfather’s imperialism and apartheid knows we’ll.I support Russia but not their eye open lies.Concentrate on how this war in Syria can be overcome which Russia, Turkey,USA/NATO supports different groups and all promote their interest supported by their lies.

Tudor Miron

Shlobo is that you again? Have you heard of dozens of western MPC killed in Eastern Ghouta? What were they doing there? Ouch! Training, arming and advising terrorists on how to better shell civilians in Damascus is a crime.

velociraptor

no one was killed.

Langaniso Mhlobo

I don’t listen to your white wash rubbish racist USA propaganda.Go and tell Japanese, South Koreans or Saudi Arabia.I think your wife and children are under your oppression.Bloody USA and British agent and volanteer.

You’re not a jew, I never said so. You’re zio troll serving anglo-zio empire to your own detriment.

Langaniso Mhlobo

Sorry if I offended you.People are dying while we criticized each other.The point is both USA/NATO and Russia lies.Russia which I support lies even if the bases or soldiers are killed until,Some valuable information comes out with material evidence.As commentators or opinionates let’s stick to truth in solidarity with people who really dies irrespective of their ambitions.Of cause this paid terrorist are afraid to go back to the their native countries jails were their were released and will continue terrorism.In war there is no rich man or poor man everyone is unsafe,insecure waiting in agony.Let’s leave our differences and stand up for speechless wrong is wrong and wright is wright.

FlorianGeyer

A ‘two minute warning ‘ is just playing with semantics.

velociraptor

15-20 min. you can not wait from yanks, they will sit in the town and mercenaries attack them.

this was again a dirty game from putin. he obeyed 100+ wagner members. similar, like desert hawks in bait tabqa offensive. later ruskies transported the leader and founder of desert hawks in moscow. typical stalinsim! you, ruskies try to play the same games what you played in 19/20th century. BUT! now is 21st century. you will lose AGAIN!

i am happy, that russkie soldiers left my country. i have thousands actual photos, how you ruined the bases; buldings, the nature. you sole also the watertaps. pathetic beggars! your modern wc-s were holes in ground. you destryed the soil with gasoline and oil what you let to flow out on soil and never collected. you are more barbarians then the yemeni freedom fighters. :(

Peter

@velociraptor; “Russians are hooligans. Brave against old and children, rabbits if come to men.”

Though obviously ignorant, it appears you have nevertheless just inadvertently, spluttered out an accurate description of Yankers along with their manly fighting tactics. One would almost think you are assiduously attempting to develop your “projection” skills.

Rob

US and Israeli brutal regimes always blame Islamic countries that why they are united, why they have united army or why they are visiting Russia etc and then these Islamic leaders complying. This is pity that they were fooled by US and Israeli regimes. Indeed these Islamic leaders have no future planning.

leon mc pilibin

So the zionist scumbags insist on a ceasefire in the UN, and then proceed to attack Syrians,,if true,then its just normal behavior for these devious demons in the jewSA military.Shoot them out of the SKY,,simple.

Rob

Shoot down these bastards. How they entered into Syria.

Rob

As UK, US, France have taken Palestine and gave to illegal migrants Israel similarly they will take other countries as will in Middle East. This is their planning. The next number is of Syria, then Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, Libya. Egypt, Turkey and so on because their governments are corrupt and have no unity and no future planning. If Syria was strong then UK, US, France couldn’t reached to Turkey but Turkey have provided military bases to them to arm and train militants and use them in Syria for destabilizing Syria.

But even if they did fire on the invaders, it seems they didn’t get a kill, they need better missiles.

Joe

That would be enough to scare off the American planes .

Sinbad2

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the US staged this attack, to distract Syria from ridding Ghouta of the British military and their pet terrorists.
Expect all sorts of wild claims to try and save the Brits.

Bru

Great if true,
it is high time for Syria to defend itself and resist the US imperialist aggression.
Hopefully Syrians will liberate their country from all terrorist groups and foreign invading armies like the US- NATO, Turkey and Israel ( Golan).

EoF

Russia, GIVE. THE. S400. TO SYRIA.

Wegan

Does not work that way. It’s not just a toy that you can set and forget. You need the right placement, training and set up.
First you need to secure the land and secure borders. Syria will be able to get the S-400 in about a year from now. But it will take 2-3 years for delivery and installation.

gustavo

Delivery and installation is not a problem at all, but training is the important part which can take long time.

Hrky75

Delivery and installation IS the problem. Russia doesn’t have 100s of pcs of newest stuff sitting on the shelfs waiting to be shipped. It needs to be either made from scratch or heavily upgraded – both processes take time and production capability that Russia doesn’t have. In present circumstances Russian military industry produces few dozen brand new planes and upgrades similar numbers. Also they make a dozen SAM battalions worth of equipment for own use and export. If they start building staff today, I’m not sure they could rearm their allies in next few years – and USZios won’t be waiting for them…

klove and light

delivery and installation???? r u stupid…..s-300 and s-400 r in syria already and they cover entire syrian airspace!!! so cut your naive bs!!!

russ

I saw the video about the S400. It takes about 5 minutes to have it operational. The Pansrit is the forward deployed launchers that use the S400s radar. The 400 is a stand off system that of course needs to be secured but it will be set back 100-200 miles from hostilities. The Pansrit is the one close to action but it can be kept “silent” to operate. The real reason Russia is hesitating is to keep us(US) from having a “reason” to escalate this. We would like nothing better than to have a reason. We gave the eastern Euphrates to ISIS and then the Kurds while Syria had to fight their way to Deir Ezzor step by step. Kurds just got in their Toyota pickups and had a country drive from the north to the south. Heck US outposts were peacefully embedded inside ISIS controlled lands.

Hrky75

How many systems are in Syria? A battalion of each – 6 launchers per battery, 3 batteries per battalion times 2 should take on the combined AF of US, Israel and Saudi in a future conflict? What about Iran with it’s AD made in 1970s and Iraq and Lebanon without any. Do you even know how the stuff works? And have you any idea how efficient (or not) these systems are without proper fighter cover. Russian SAM systems in Syria are barely enough to deter IsraelTurkey attacks on Russian basis. Both Iran and Syria need a total overhaul of their AD and AF – dozens of new SAM batteries and fighter jets. To believe that S400 is a wonder weapon that can turkey shoot opposition assets at whim is not naive – it’s dumb…

Wegan

Actually none is a problem. It just takes time. but it will happen.

klove and light

they cover whole of syria already wegan..wtf r u talking about???read my post and stop acting foolish.the s-300 and s-400 currently in syria covers the whole of syrian airspace alraedy!!!! STOP THIS NONSENSE

John Whitehot

in any case, Syria lacks any doctrinal and organizational instruments to operate such systems, and it’s not going to develop any during a war like this.

People read about S-400s on british tabloids and then come here and flap their jaws about it.

Reality is something else though.

klove and light

wow hahahaha u people still believe that russia will help syria to get back their whole country???? hahaha wtf r u people smoking lol……russia sold syria out……east of eupharates is zionist us land..period..stop this bs wishfull thinking….yes me too would like to see the us zionists pigs get their asses kickes out of syria…but thats a WISH…just like wishing for a lottery win!!! please folks stop with that I wish…and the russians will do that and that…….the russians r doing 000000/nothing/nada in the EAST of EUPHARATES

.thats the deal!!!!! russia preserves its bases..they lie in the west at the coast!!!yes they will help keep assad in power……but not the east…thats a done deal!!!!SAA and allies have been bombed several times now in deir e zoor…..no help from russia in the past..and no help in the future…..and stop with this s-300 or s-400 bs argument! they have them in syria since 2016…..r they being used????????????????????????

NONONONONONONO….they will only be used to defend russian bases..they r in the west!!! and all those smart asses saying ” when will they have s-300 or s-400 in deir e zoor???” the s-300 and s-400 that r currently in syria in the west….cover the WHOLE OF SYRIA ALREADY !!!!! but as mentioned before…russia will only use them if their BASES r attacked in the WEST !!!!!!!!!!
now either people here r stupid…or its false propaganda!!!!

like mentioned before…. I wish that syria kicks those us eu zionist bastards out….but thats my wish…and my wish has nothing to do with reality!!!!

calm down…look brother lets make it realllyy simple.

point 1. people here are saying when will syria get S-400?
point 2. S-400 is in syria since 2016
point 3. S-400 covers the entire syrian airspace+ israel airspace+parts of jordanian and iraq airspace.
so there r 2 possibilities……1. people here r totally insane or they r fakes spreading bs .

Rüdiger Preiss

Agreed on that and not to forget Iran easily covers the East part of Syria as well. However, you aren’t going to win fans by adding dozens of question marks and exclamation marks to half or your sentences. Besides, where I don’t agree is that Russia is selling Syria out. It’s not as simple as shooting down a US fighter jet. Russians always have been good at chess – they think several steps ahead.

John Whitehot

at least you had the decency of switching accounts before giving yourself the only upvote you got.

Paulskiy

The Pantsir system which took out the Israeli plane and their missiles, according to Veterans Today, might be something of a stop gap. But in general terms I agree with you: this takes time. Russia doesn’t just have these by the tens and dozens in a warehouse somewhere, either.

Heisenberg

Veterans Today isn’t the most reliable source. It’s full of anti-Zionist propaganda and some ridiculous ideas like the ” wide spread use of very small yield nukes in Afghanistan and Iraq”. However it cites some reliable sources. About the article in question, i only find this https://www.veteranstoday.com/2018/02/14/syria-forces-shot-down-13-israel-cruise-missiles-during-feb-10-attack/

Well in no place in this article it said that the IAF F-16I was shot down by a Pantsir System. It says that it was shot downed by a S-200. That was confirmed later by various sources, inclusive the IAF.

You are also wrong in terms quantity of Pantsir Systems active in Russian armed forces http://www.russiadefence.net/t1878p725-pantsir-s1-news-thread
See post 728. If you were talking about the right amount of this systems deployable by the SyADF their number is 12 battery = 36 Vehicles.

Please read more before posting wrong information
If you want to know more about the Air defense systems or aviation this is the place to go: http://www.ausairpower.net/

If you are more interesting about the type of system that shot down the F-16I read this: http://www.ausairpower.net/APA-Legacy-SAM-Upgrades.html

Paulskiy

I don’t disagree regarding VT. They do some stuff very well, and other stuff is as far left field as it can go. However, I stated that the Israeli F16 was shot down by by the Pantsir system, as according to VT, which I read last week. I never mentioned the number of Pantsir systems used by the RF: I merely pointed out that it might be a stop-gap while the Syrians awaited a more potent replacement for their aging S-200, but that the RF doesn’t have a whole bunch of there sitting in a warehouse somewhere either. Thanks for the links elsewhere: I’ll have a look. And finally, instead of criticizing what I didn’t write, may I suggest that you follow your won advice and read what I actually said. We’re not a million miles apart on this.

You just said in your first post and i quote “The Pantsir system which took out the Israeli plane and their missiles, according to Veterans Today” the only true part of this is “The Pantsir system which took out the…their missiles…” with the help of BUK-M2E battery.
Maybe i dint find the same VT post that you read. However i still state that the F-16I was downed by S-200. Not that really matter, that plane was shot down if it had been with a stone… even better!

Then you said “Russia doesn’t just have these by the tens and dozens in a warehouse somewhere, either” i was just providing sources for you to see that they have more than you thought they had.

Anyway it was not my intention to offend you. I’am sorry if i did.
Best regards

Paulskiy

No worries. I appreciate the fact that you respond politely. There are a lot who wouldn’t. I had another look on VT and found only part of what I was looking for. There was a follow-up article to the one I attach below which stated that it was Russian operated (or likely Russian operated) Pantsir systems which took out the Israeli plane. I guess we’ll never know. The upside is that maybe they’ll think twice now about attacking Syria. The downside that Netanyahu is facing domestic corruption charges, and might double down. It would be nice if peace were to break out occasionally…. https://www.veteranstoday.com/2018/02/10/intel-drop-israeli-strike-on-syria-utter-failure/

Heisenberg

Yes, that is a different VT article.
Well, if i was a Syrian i would be offended ( not by you but for the VT author) when someone writes or says that “it was likely a Russian operated system” every time a expensive “western” jet or piece of equipment is destroyed, like if the Syrian or the Egyptians or any other Arab nation didn’t have competent people operating complex systems.
Are the Russians better at operating their own designed systems? Probably yes, but that doesn’t mean that the others who use them are completely retarded…
Whoever shot it down, Syrian, Russian or Iranian, deserve a medal.
And it seems that at least for some days it halted the IAF operations… and since that, at least from what i can recall only one strike was carried from Lebanon air space, and all the missiles were intercepted.
We will see if that charges lead on to something, or make Netanyahu panic and conceive a large scale operation against Hezbollah in Lebanon and southern Syria.

John Whitehot

has Syria ever asked for S-400s?

No.

If the US shoves its missiles down the throats of its allies, forcing them to buy them or get on the rogue list, it’s not that Russia should do the same.

Deo Cass

Ok! So let’s put it this way: Why doesn’t Russia protect its supposed Syrian ally by targetting the illegal US colonial imperialist invasion and occupation forces with its S400’s, as every true ally is supposed to do?

John Whitehot

“as every true ally is supposed to do?”

no one here takes lessons on what allies are supposed to do by the likes of your kind.

Secondly, Russia protects Syria by not forcing anything on them, a concept that completely escapes your brainwashed perceptions of relationships between countries.

velociraptor

But yanks do some protection. THEY ARE allied country!

John Whitehot

yeah, protection.

you are a shopkeeper and I’m a thug, and you pay me for not wrecking your goods. Other thugs won’t wreck your goods either, because i’m the meanest thug of all.

that’s the US protection, something that ends when all the shopkeepers are fed up with all the thugs, they ally up and beat the living shit out of them.

klove and light

and stop taking drugs….your brain is totally fucked up…zionist child killer

klove and light

shut the fuck up u zionist child killer motherfucker

russ

The real reason Russia is hesitating is to keep us(US) from having a
“reason” to escalate this. We would like nothing better than to have a
reason

nshah

That Q has been wondering me too.. At least Yankees are a good an excellent ally even when their ally are terrorists.. hehehe.. lol..!
what I’m saying is only in that contexts..! They’re a reliable ally regardless of whatever their agendas are..!

klove and light

thats the question to ask…yes right on brother…..other people here r either stupid or fake assholes……S-400 is in syria already…and it covers entire syria air space, entire israel, part of jordan and even part of iraq!!!!!!
so everybody else stop bs here with when will syria buy s-400 or s-300 u morons!

MikeH

US airpower is the primary attack tool therefore strong anti-air missile defenses are the way to overcome the advantage. Whatever can be put into place will be an improvement over the SAA current systems and will make it more difficult for the US to kill civilians and SAA troops.

Manuel Flores Escobar

Pantsir S2 deployed in Deir Ezzor is enough to keep away US jets…

Rob

If just two plans of US bastards are shoot down then there will be no more air strikes.

Rob

Shoot down these US bastards plans. How they entered into Syria. If Syrian led coalition have a little shame then definitely they will destroy all US terrorist bases in Syria where they have kept Syrians hostage.

Joe

US is using F22 and hard to target unless Russia provides the detection like they did for the F35 that got shot by “flying birds”

So without Russia , only Houthis can win the war.

Rob

Russia have provided S300 air defense missile system to Syria along with Pantsir-S1 which is a combined short to medium range surface-to-air missile and anti-aircraft artillery weapon system. Syria also produces their own surface to surface SRBM (Short Range Ballistic Missile) with a range of 300 km and 500 kg pay load. Syria need to use that without any fear because if still they don’t learn lesson so when they will learn.

John Whitehot

“Russia have provided S300 air defense missile system to Syria”

I don’t think so, at least I don’t remember reading about it at all.

The Pantsir was sold to Syria, along some BUK series systems (can’t remember the quantity), but it was before the war. Although Pantsirs were also brought in during the war, idk about the state of the BUK element, probably it has been weakened by the initial attacks of the “revolutionaries”, which “for some reason” targeted the Syrian air defences ast their first priority target.

John Whitehot

Lol.

SYRIA, ASK THE S400 TO RUSSIA.

Rafik Chauhan

no need of S400 all over syra . If Russia provide manpads enough to every SAA battalion in Euphrates and all over Syria border . that is enough to counter fighter jets and helicopter which is main US arsenal. US will do nothing . for SAA will become more easy to fight ground warwith SDF and US thugs.

velociraptor

Manpads are ineffective against us planes.

Joe

Come on … current old Sam too can bring down US planes if near enough . But the problem is the US planes or Israeli planes will fire long distance to destroy . yes so far most Israeli missiles are shot down only a few got through out of many.

Send in the Houthis and see if US can destroy them …. why ? with Manpads alone planes have to be high and high planes cannot target human beings only hot machines.

So who win ? the few 2000 US soldiers ? try them

Justin

He is right and u are wrong! Read my comment above. I explain why!

Joe

I suggest you read my post again I said once armed with manpads in worse case scenario SAA does not have SAM systems, the US planes HAVE TO FLY HIGH. That means if they fight like HEZBOLLAH or Houthis without easily zeroed in Armour, the planes cannot target the soldiers .

The foot soldiers with ATGM are even more powerful than the tanks as they cannot be targeted unlike useless tanks.

So even though Manpads are useless against US planes flying high, it stops them drop targeting the bare footed Houthis at low attitudes and no A10 can even come close with manpads.

That’s the main reasons why Hez and Houthis we’re able to do a lot of damage to the Israeli and Saudis in spite of both having the most modern planes.

That’s the only way to fight US forces as US forces have what the Israeli had…. air power.

So really the US can
Be defeated even by Assad alone

Justin

100% agree! These people dont know what they are talking about!

EoF

Good idea

nshah

Very well suggestion indeed..!

Joe

Come on … if Iran needs to depend on Russia for manpads… sorry better go back home.

Iran should have their own home made missiles too that is far more powerful that those primitive manpads.

Anything that hurts Israel , rest assured Russia will not supply.

Justin

I disagree! A manpad has a ceiling of 15,000 feet! Aircraft can fly more than double that and drop laser guided munitions! a Pantsir S-1 has an attack radius of just 20km so this isnt good enough either because the US can fire long range munitions from safe distances! The TOR-M1 has a height ceiling of only 20,000 feet and range of only 12km therefore also not useful!
Only the BUK-M1,M2 or M3 (along with Syria’s existing S-200’s) can prevent such attacks! Syria only has about 10 of these systems and they are all guarding extremely high value targets! This is the exact systems u should be asking Russia to give the Syrian army! Other wise there are some Chinese options the Syrian MOD could purchase! But I have a feeling that Iran will soon be supplying Syria with such systems! For now the S-200 seems to be doing a good job perhaps because it may be plugged into the Russian high tech radar network! Such bombings occur rarely (although they are very bad) but do not alter the course of the war!

Rafik Chauhan

Manpads can bring down SU 24 of russia. But if US jets are flying high that is different but then USUjets target on the ground is useless with high altitude as it proves in Yemen. US depends on attack helicopters for the ground assuault .and manpads are really will damage this attack helicopters.SAA just has to take care of this . US jets are also ineffective in Syria against daesh they can’t even helped SDF to take small town.bcus US knew firing from low alltitude will put US jets in danger. If SAA were having manpads in die zor then US not dare to attack them and kill 100of soldier

Justin

I still disagree with u! The SU-24’s and SU-34’s can fly high or low! The SU-25 (frog foot) is not a bomber or a fighter jetties is an attack aircraft! This is the aircraft tat was shot from the sky by a manned in Idlib province! This aircraft is made to dive down on its target and deliver a garage of short distance rockets and bullets but can also drop bombs! This aircraft is supposed to fly low to the ground because its official role is to be a Ground Support Attack Aircraft! It must be close to the ground which is why it is so heavily armoured but not invulnerable!
No Russian SU-24 has been shot out of the sky from the ground! Only Turkey shot an SU-24 (bomber) from the sky with an F-15 (multi role fighter).
I honestly dont think u know enough to speak on this subject! No offence but im just making an observation!
You dont seem to know what aircraft has been shot down, its type, its role nor do u understand missile systems and their abilities!
To stop US coalition aircraft BOMBING the SAA, one must have SAM’s with a ceiling of at least 46,000 feet and a radius of at least 30km! this is what the BUK-M2 supplies! The Pantsir supplies even closer for ow to ground aircraft such as helicopters, American A-10 warthogs (US Ground Support Attack Aircraft) and cruise missiles!

As for USA accuracy! They have smart bombs and dumb bombs!Smart bombs can put a bomb up dog’s ass (its that accurate)! Dumb bombs will fall within 90 metres of its target! Inside a city, damage is great even with smart bombs because of the explosion and flying debris!

USA do not use a lot of A-10 aircraft in Syria they mainly use F-16’s and F-15’s! the F-16 was built to be an air superiority fighter and also is the aircraft used to take out SAM! So the F-16 is the biggest threat and it flies HIGH to out run and out manoeuvre missiles shot from the ground!

Manpads do NOTHING!

Manpads are only good for helicopters and attack aircraft!

Manpads are useful against Russia and Syria who se a lot of attack aircraft and helicopters! The USA does not use those type of aircraft over enemy territory IN SYRIA!

To prove that long range SAMs are better than Manpads, just look at Israel’s airforce! They were attacking often and now they have stopped! They do not fly into Syrian territory anymore and not even into Lebanese territory either! One Long Range SAM is enough to keep aircraft away!

The USA and Israel dont want an old system like the S-200 showing that it can shoot down advanced US aircraft (even stealth) because its very bad for sales! Every time an advanced fighter is shot down by an old system it means $$$$$$ Billions of dollars lost!

BUK-M2 is perfect along with the S-200! Because they are not new but can still defend very well from long range and mid range! This is enough to keep US and Israel aircraft away!

Terence Silvestre Jr.

The brave one takes advantage as far as the coward allows him.
Knowing that theirs cowardly aerial attacks from now on will be proportionally answered by antiaircraft weapons, next time, they will think twice before engaging the SAA legally in defense of the land that saw them born, against a foreign force illegally present there, with the collaboration and help of some ungrateful Kurds, betraying the homeland that gave them asylum.

Two allies Russia will never sell S400 to … Iran and Syria . Why? Israel will be threatened and that is a no no . Others from Saudi Arabia to Turkey ….. business is good man.

That’s the way it is …. too bad. Iran must send their own home made missiles

Just turn on every piece of air defense ( hopefully S-400 too ).

Langaniso Mhlobo

Don’t wait for Russia their have been informed before the attack .Second Russia avoids nuclear confrontation.Third USA will continue to destroy legitimate Syrian and Russian army forces on their sovereign land.Lastly Putin and Lavrov wants restoration of ties with western terrorists partners to play the same game of destroying small countries.

You wright instead of bring war capable jets Russians bring in jets for testing purpose while people are dying.Last year when Putin get a opportunity to see Trump he said military solution is not possible.When he met Assad he claimed the war is over and order the withdrawal of troops and jets.

To be honest Syria is actually a testing ground.

John Whitehot

“To be honest Syria is actually a testing ground.”

To be honest, testing weapons on jihadi zionist slaves is much better than shooting them on empty containers for shooting practice.

It also accomplishes an important thing: it keeps Syria clean from zionist garbage and ultimately the free world from becoming the banksters world.

Not everyone is a terrorist.There is a difference in opinion between opposition and ruling government.

then remember that if Nelson Mandela came out from prison alive and the National Congress survived till the end of the apartheid is in large part due to Soviet action.

Russia did not exist at the time, you are conveniently postponing events.

I was talking about the Soviet Union and its operations, especially in Mozambique and Angola, where it reached the point of military clashes with the South African fascists. This wasn’t the original point though, that was, that without Soviet help, Mandela would had died in prison and the Congress arrested and disbanded.

Or do you think that those members of the NC risking arrest in South Africa weren’t protected by the KGB in Mozambique? Because in that case, you are really a naive, brainwashed individual.

It is very amusing how brave Americans are when it comes to killing others with their remote toys. When Russian pilots engage them, they run away and then cry in the newspaper about “irresponsible behavior of the Russian pilots”. Cowards.

Nuno Cardoso da Silva

It is imperative that the Syrian air defense force shoots down a couple of coalition planes, so as to put an end to their piracy.

velociraptor

With what?!

Daniel Miller

S-200 ofc its more the capeble of doing so.

velociraptor

No chance. 13 peces needed to take down 1 IL plane. several other dozens hit nothing. Russia has not enough s-200 to take down 20 enemy planes in that ratio.

moreover, syria has no money. rusjies let pay for each batch in advance. one tames sent dome tanks so, that sy will pay later. syria is small and weak country. iraq was 50x stronger and had no chance.

RichardD

You’re a complete moron. The regime change flunkies have lost almost 2/3rds of what they used to control in Syria. And are losing more every day.

Daniel Miller

Ummm no not even close to 13 missiles had been fired…that is not possible since 1 S-200 battery only has 6 launchers.The SAA theymselvs said only 4 missiles had been fired at enemy aircraft,witch is very realistic since the export model S-200VE can only track 5 targets at a time and can fire 5 missiles at a time,other missiles had been used from seperate S-200 batterys to take down standoff IAF missiles.
You clearly have no idea how the S-200VE works.

errrr no Russia gives them S-200VE missiles,radars,parts and maintenance equipment all for free since they dont use it or need it.
It only takes up space in storage wearhouses so better to just give them to syria then keep them for nothing,also sorry but Iraq is not Syria Syria after 7 long years of war has more experiansed troops than any NATO mambure has not to mention the command structure of the SAA was compleately redone (witch means it dosent have the same weaknesses as other arab militarys).

velociraptor

repeatedly launching system …

Daniel Miller

the S-200 has no “repeatedly launching system” the S200 is a old SAM it needs to be mannualy reloded each time since 1 launcher has only 1 missile.

velociraptor

Syria – 2 defense regiments comprising 2 divisions including 2 S-200 batteries (44 launchers / ≈50[57]/ 48[58]) in service as of 2010,[59][60] S-200VE 48 launchers in 2012

so, they can fire dozens of missiles. (each launcher 4 pieces)
and reload within several minutes.

whats your probem? syrians shot with everything they had. also pantsirs. i did not wrote in the beginning, that they fired s200. you choosed this type. ;)

Daniel Miller

OMFG you are an idiot! The S-200VE launchers have only 1 missile per unite! Even before the ware most S-200VE sytems had not been operational since it was very expensive to maintaine them.

in one thing you have partial right.

this action was iranian.

iranians sent their drone over golan. without consultation wit damascus, moscow. iran is swine land, they try to provoke war between syria and IL.

Russia should proliferate it’s hi tech hardware to it’s allies ASAP. The situation already turned into open and hot war with warring parties and front lines clearly defined. China and Iran should provide cash, Russia needs to build shit and export it – only not heavily downgraded models like they used to do, real top of the line stuff this time. Because, unlike in the 1960s and 70s Russia and it’s allies will be fighting US directly, not the proxies. But I agree with Wegan – production, delivery and training will take years. US and Israel know this , they made sure that all the countries on the list are unarmed and weak with years of UN sanctions and that’s why they’re in a hurry to fight now…

gustavo

Well, I think USA try to bring Syria-Russia attention to this area rather than Ghouta area. Maybe USA-Israel-NATO have material or important stuff hidden in Ghouta, and they are very nervous about that.
