Photos of the US, UK, and France's missile strike on suspected Syrian chemical weapons sites on Friday night appeared to show the Syrian defenses firing blindly in a wild, likely failed attempt to intercept missiles.
Before the strike, Russia had threatened to shoot down US missiles heading for Syria and then attack the platforms that launched them. A retired Russian Admiral elaborated on that threat, saying specifically that Russia would sink the USS Donald Cook with a torpedo if it fired on Syria.
Despite being in the area, the USS Donald Cook didn't fire a shot and possibly served as a distraction while cruise missiles poured in from ships, submarines, and jets in an attack that the Pentagon says succeeded completely, in that all missiles hit.
This wouldn't need pushing if the idea of the Damascus bombing being nothing inportant, like last year's airfield, wasn't legitimate.

Russians can't decide how many missiles they took down, it always some random number.

Isn't it stranger that the US used 75 missles on one building complex of 3 3-4floor residential structures and only took 2 floors off the building? That's 70million dollars. Think it's better for weapon sales to just say most were shot down.

Radar guided missiles "firing blindly". Truth is. None of the missiles did any damage.

Russia and Syria can only damage control with their fake news claims about shooting down missiles, missile landing nowhere, no damage, lol we totally won, guise, etc. because that's all they can do. They would never dare to follow up on their tough guy threats about attacking NATO because they'd get their asses handed to them forthwith, just like they did when Wagner Group got BTFO last month, lel

I wish imqageboards weren't mostly damage control from differnet countries' shills, they were nice before that started

Russia didn't even bother to shoot down any. Syria used its old 1990 series BUK missile systems.
Russia is hiding the capabilities of their S-400 and TOR's for a reason. They are devastating, and Russia wants to shoot down planes and sink ships, not take out a few worthless cruise missiles.
