Syria's Modest Air Defenses Shot Down 70% of Attacking Missiles

[Doc]

So what?

There would be little point in the Syrian government investing in anti-missile technology if it did not work.

If soviet time air defenses were this successful, one can immagine what the results would have been if the S-300 and S-400 had been used...

None of the missiles were shot down by the Syrians and the Russian AA units were active but did not fire for unknown reasons. You do know that Sputniknews is a Kremlin mouth piece ?

Are you telling us that 105 missiles could only destroy a couple of buildings? Buildings supposedly containing forbidden chemicals, but which wreckage show no signs of contamination?... How gullible can you be?...

They *were* multiple big concrete buildings at each of the three different sites. Now you can see the outlines of their foundations.

Even so. 105 missiles? And no contamination?...

With Chemical weapons, incineration is often used to destroy them. But if you want to believe known liars (Syria, Iran, Russia) then clearly nothing I am going to tell you is going to change your mind.

There was no incineration, just brute kinetic force which wrecked those buildings. Any chemicals present would have been released in the atmosphere. You must agree that something doesn't seem right. And if there were no missiles shot down, where did they fall? All 105 on the same three buildings? You can't really believe their story, can you?...

Each missile contained 1,000 pounds of explosives. If a single missile *were* shot down where is the wreckage??? It has now been close to two days Without any doubt if just one were shot down the Syrians would have all kinds of video posted. Honestly I am surprised they haven't show a previous Missile's wreckage. After all they showed video of AA missiles in Saudi Arabia and claimed the video was of Syrian anti-aircraft missiles shooting at Tomahawks.

AGAIN: Three diferent multi-building complexes CONTAINING SEVERAL BUILDINGS EACH were targeted Not just "three buildings"

You can combine two poisonous chemicals and get salt or you can combine a few benign ones and get Zyklon B.

So that there was no contamination, when Syria was warned in advance of the strike, proves absolutely nothing.

You are funny!... What did they do with the tons of stuff which were supposed to be there?

By the way, where is the salt?...

A cruise missile shot in flight just blows up. There is little left to be seen. But we saw some pictures of craters in the middle of nowhere, which means those missiles just hit nothing, probably because their guidance was affected by EW measures. The fact is that there is no damage to be seen, except those three "complexes" (and minor damage in one airfield). So, where did all those missiles go to?...

That's the same two or three sites. Where did all the other missiles go?... They were shot down, blown up or had their guidance messed up by EW!...
