Dat zit zo: Rusland
overweegt als reactie op die laatste aanval haar S-300 defensie raketten te leveren aan Syrië.... Deze
raketten hebben een groot bereik en kunnen bijvoorbeeld de illegale
aanvallen van Israël (intussen meer dan 100 aanvallen en stuk voor stuk oorlogsmisdaden) tegen Syrische doelen worden voorkomen. Deze raketten zouden Israëlische
toestellen al in het Libanees luchtruim uit kunnen schakelen......
(ook die laffe manier van aanvallen via het luchtruim van een ander land, is een grove schending van
internationaal recht, immers Israël begeeft zich illegaal in
Libanees luchtruim, alweer een enorme oorlogsmisdaad van terreurstaat
Israël......).
Ofwel Syrië wordt door deze illegale aanval straks veel beter beschermd tegen dit soort illegale aanvallen, of die nu van van de fascistische apartheidsstaat Israël komen, dan wel van terreurentiteiten VS, GB en Frankrijk (of andere NAVO landen). Ik noem die laatste landen, daar deze de aanval openden met kruisraketten, die laag kunnen vliegen om detectie te voorkomen, echter ook met deze verdedigingsraketten kunnen kruisraketten van de VS, GB en Frankrijk (en anderen) uit de lucht worden gehaald, of ter plekke het lanceerplatform (schepen, vliegtuigen, of lanceerplatforms op land) vernietigen dat laatste hoorde ik onlangs op WDR..... Al moet gezegd worden dat ook zonder de nieuwe Russische raketten, het merendeel van de afgeschoten kruisraketten werd vernietigd, voordat het doel werd bereikt!

Het
is te hopen dat Rusland deze S-300 raketten levert aan Syrië zodat er een
eind kan worden gemaakt aan de westerse en Israëlische terreur in
Syrië. Volgens het Russische dagblad Kommersant is de (gratis) levering van het S-300 raketsysteem een feit en worden er al onderdelen afgeleverd in Syrië, iets dat de Syrische regering ontkent, men zou hier nog een besluit over willen nemen. Reuters citeerde Lavrov die stelde dat zowel de Russische als de Syrische autoriteiten nog niet hebben beslist over een definitieve levering van dit defensie systeem.
De corrupte en psychopathische massamoordenaar in de persoon van de Israëlische premier Netanyahu, heeft al aangegeven dat met de levering van het S-300 raketsysteem aan Syrië (alweer) een spreekwoordelijke rode lijn zal worden overschreden en dat Israël daarop actie zal ondernemen.......

Niet
vreemd dus dat de commandant van de VS terreurtroepen, in deze van CENTCOM, Joseph Votel terreurstaat Israël in het geheim bezocht, immers dit raketsysteem is ook een gevaar voor het agressieve VS leger in de regio......
Commander of US Troops in Syria Makes “Secret and Unprecedented” Visit to Israel

(ZHE) — Increasingly
it appears that the recent US coalition missile strikes on Syria
have utterly backfired: instead of weakening Syria or degrading
its military capabilities, the attack may have actually served
to strengthen Syria’s defenses.
Since
the massive strike which involved the US, UK, and France launching
over 100 cruise missiles, Russia is rumored to be moving forward
on delivery of its advanced S-300 missile defense system, which would
be a monumental upgrade allowing Syrian defenses to far surpass
current capabilities which utilize the Soviet-made S-125 and S-200
air defense systems.
Crucially,
S-300s have a range of up to 150-200 kilometers (or 120 miles),
bringing Syrian deterrent reach easily to within Lebanese
airspace (as Israel has routinely struck targets inside Syria
while firing over “neutral” Lebanese airspace in recent years),
and could even extend airspace coverage into Israel itself.
Could
this be the reason for some major behind-the-scenes diplomatic
scrambling?

On
Monday VOA News chief White House correspondent Steve
Herman announced that US
CENTCOM commander General Joseph Votel is in
the midst of
“a secret and unprecedented visit to Israel.”
Knowledge
of the “secret” visit was based on exclusive footage broadcast by
Israel’s Kann
News,
which first reported, “the commander
of the American Central Command arrived for the first time to Israel,
and met with senior security officials, including the Chief of
Staff.”

No
doubt the potential for what weapons experts have commonly described
as the “exceptionally advanced” Russian-supplied S-300 in
Israel’s backyard is making Tel Aviv and its allies nervous. Israel
has repeatedly called delivery of the S-300s a “red line”
for which it would act, however, plans for just such a scenario
could be hastening.
Early
Monday morning Israel’s Channel 10 senior diplomatic
correspondent broke
the following, subsequently confirmed in the Times
of Israel and Reuters:
Russian newspaper Kommersant reports that Russia might deliver S-300 anti aircraft missiles to Syria in the very near future in order to defend Damascus & Strategic Syrian army bases from Israel & U.S. airstrikes.
Kommersant reported Russia will give the S-300 missiles to Syria for free from Russian army supplies as part of its military assistance to Syria. This way the delivery could be done very quickly.
Russian military sources said parts of the S-300 will be delivered soon to Syria via cargo planes or Russian navy ships. Until Syrian officers will be trained to operate the system it will be operated by Russian military experts in coordination with the Syrian army.
According to Kommersant Russia believes that delivering the system will stabilize the situation in Syria and deter Israel and the U.S. from continuing its airstrikes in Syria. Russian sources said that if Israel attacks the missiles the results would be catastrophic.

Though
still being hotly debated and contested among analysts, Syria’s
over 30-year old current deterrent system appears to have performed
well, likely stunning the West and neighboring Israel (which itself
played a part in the coalition attack) as it reportedly shot
down 71 of the 103 cruise missiles, according
to official Russian and Syrian government sources.
As we previously described, Pentagon officials have vehemently denied that their “nice and new and smart” cruise missiles were actually shot down, and Russia now further claims to be in possession of at least two non-detonated coalition missiles. Most Western media reports continue to assert that Syrian missile defense failed to shoot down a single inbound missile. Notably, the Pentagon has been careful in all statements to say Russia’s S-300 system (currently present aboard Russian battleships in the Mediterranean) did not engage.
However, there are other possibilities that the coalition’s missiles simply failed in reaching their targets in some instances without intercept by Syrian defenses, or even that advanced Russian air defense Electronic Counter Measures (ECM) may have been in play.
But
one doesn’t need to take the Russian Defense Ministry’s word for
it. It is entirely possible and even likely that Russian intercept
claims are inflated, yet that there were
a number of intercepts that night was
also reported by several important outside sources, including
by Syrian pro-rebel media,
foremost being the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), which
has for years been a chief go-to source for all mainstream reporting
on Syria (though ironically when SOHR contradicts the mainstream
media, such as in this case, its numbers are ignored).
SOHR reported,
based on “several intersected sources” on the ground, that “the
number of missiles that were downed exceeded 65.” That
anti-Assad/anti-Russia pro-rebel SOHR is saying this is hugely
significant, and is consistent with Russia’s claim.
But
all of this will perhaps quickly become a moot point if Russia does
indeed deliver the S-300 system to Syria after warning immediately on
the heels of the US-led strike, that
there would be consequences.

On
the very morning after the US strike took place, Russia’s first
deputy chief of staff, Sergei Rudskoi, said Russia
would “reconsider” whether to supply the air defenses to Assad –
an issue previously thought dead as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu had reportedly successfully
lobbied President
Putin against the possibility in 2013.
Netanyahu
was quoted
at the time as saying of the S-300 system, “We’ll
destroy your missiles if you deliver them to Assad” –
a warning which has recently been repeated in the form of an Israeli
“red line”. However, Russian military sources have this week
been quoted
in the Times
of Israel as
saying: if
Israel tried to destroy the anti-aircraft batteries—as analysts
have indicated Israel likely would—it would be “catastrophic for
all sides.”
But
on Monday, Reuters reported
that no decision had been made on S-300 delivery to
Syria, citing Foreign
Minister Sergei Lavrov,
who said, “We’ll have to wait to see what specific decisions the
Russian leadership and representatives of Syria will take.” Lavrov
added, “There is probably no secret about this and it can all
be announced (if a decision is taken).”
However,
given Israel’s past history of “strike first” in Syria and
negotiate later, we could witness missiles flying before any official
announcement takes place.
