Pretty much. It escaped into the wild, and people started to notice its unique nature.

Have a look at the footage of the launch, they’re at sea, at night so a cold background. The missile flare (the booster seems to burn for quite a while) and succession of launches will get picked up, particularly with the contrast. It’s also a region of the world where you can guarantee the US has a lot of coverage.

He just needs Assad as a puppet long enough to install a stronger government so that Syria can be an ISIS buffer. Putin is terrified the Muslims in his country will side with them to directly attack Russia. Why does this feel like a Soviet War from the 70’s and 80’s? I seriously fell like we have seen this dog and…

lol, Russian claims remind me of older Soviet claims. No civilians killed, terrorists targeted and destroyed, peace restored. Afghanistan all over again.

When I was a kid, I would build boxy Hind-esque helicopters out of Lego. Like Hinds crossed with Airwolf. I miss those old creations.

You know Tyler, you write informative stuff. Too bad the comments always go to shit.

Also of note is that all the hardware used in the attack is for sale, making the peculiar long-range one heck of an advertisement to prospective buyers.

All you did was further the point that Russia’s two dozen meaningless strikes have made zero impact.

Yes yes, Putin is the real hero in all this. If only he got a fair shake in the media. Poor guy.

Don’t you know? Russian missiles have advanced terror-seeking technology, long kept a secret from the Western Capitalist Pigs. And so do their bombs. And tank shells. And bullets.

This is as close as they can get to doing red flag exercises with the US I guess.

Since they are both working the same war zone, why not test things without an escalation of force against your #1 competition?

Russia is straight up trolling the US and other coalition forces.

Russians seem to be using Syria as a live fire training exercise for their forces.

“Clearly the cruise missile strike was a blatant advertisement of capability and show of force on Russia’s behalf,”

My question is why do we know who any of these guys are? My understanding is that the code, if you will, is doing the special forces job without complaint and always as an anonymous team. I thank this guy for his service, but am not a fan of him seeking fame and personal recognition.

Unless ISIS has this guy, good luck.

You also want to launch stuff at the equator to use the earth’s rotational velocity.

Also one not written by “Tyler Durden.”

I’ve only read a few of your comments, but the amount on nonsense you spew about Israel in those comments sure make it sound like u have no clue about geopolitics

They destroyed one building and you think that’s more than the coalition air forces have achieved?

Just so we’re clear, I’m a liberal Independent and strongly opposed to our never ending state of war. I am, however, strongly opposed to us allowing Putin to further destabilize the region, especially when he doesn’t have the ability to back it up. As for your arm chair quarterback tin foil hat theories, I’ll take the…
