C-300 - think about democratizing Syria three hundred times
Not so long ago, the Russian president was literally attacked by foreign "partners" with his visits. The American delegation, the British, then the Israeli. Making the effort, the heads of the delegations smiled crookedly and tried to keep a calm look, which, however, not all and not always succeeded. Obviously, the main message of those visits to Russia is the desire to convince Vladimir Putin that he refuse to support the current Syrian authorities. And most importantly, he refused to supply the C-300 ZRS to Syria, otherwise these same systems will obviously interfere with the "democratization" of the country under the strict guidance of the United States, Great Britain, Israel and other global democrats of our time.
“Vladimir, my friend, maybe you don’t need it ...” - this is an approximate translation of those appeals from the above delegates to the Russian president during their visits to Russia and negotiations with Putin.
“It’s necessary, Benny, it’s necessary!” - Vladimir Putin’s exemplary answer to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who had already decided to “test” the Syrian air defense a couple of times with his planes, and found out that without the Russian C-300, this defense of “democratization” lends itself quite easily .
And on Thursday, Syrian President Assad, during an interview with Al-Manar (a Lebanese television station), stated that Syria had already received the first batch of C-300 SAMs from Russia, and after a while the remaining party would also arrive in the country. These words of Bashar al-Assad quickly dispersed on the Web with the help of Lebanese, Syrian and Israeli publications and television channels. If you believe Assad, then Putin’s message in the form of “We must, Benya, it is necessary!” Has worked, and now with the announcement of the no-fly zone over Syria there will be no particular problems for Assad himself. Well, in the sense that as soon as in the sky over a country engulfed in civil war and under attack by radicals of all stripes, some kind of “flying” F-16 appears, then a system capable of hitting aerodynamic targets at altitudes up to 27 km and at a distance of 150 km, this board will land quite effectively ... Forcing to land (at least in parts), if you like ...
One can imagine how this fact was "delighted" by Israeli, American and other "friends" of Syria. At the same time, violent "joy" was demonstrated even before the start of deliveries. For example, two Israeli ministers dispersed in earnest, stating that Israel knows what to do if C-300 are delivered to Syria. These ministers are Moshe Ya'alon (Minister of Defense) and Yuval Steinitz (Minister for Intelligence and Strategic Planning). But they knew “before” ... And now what? Now, something like C-300 is in the hands of Syrian government troops, if this is, of course, not a big disinformation, launched to achieve certain goals ... And if so, what will Mr. Yaalon start doing the same? If he is well acquainted with the characteristics of the Russian modernized C-300 ZRS, then the only option here is something like this: urgently go to the Wailing Wall and “own sorrow” about this to quench ...
It is worth recalling that the C-300PM air defense missile system, which is about deliveries in Syria and was in Russian-Syrian contracts, is a system of medium (long) range. The number of targets fired is 6, followed by targets is 12. The complex consists of 48 rockets capable of hitting targets at a speed of about 1800 m / s. To deploy the complex takes no more than five minutes. The rocket in use is 48H6, having a length of 7,5 m and a diameter of 0,519 m. The warhead of a rocket weighs about 145 kg. Today such a defensive weapons In addition to the Russian Federation, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Greece, and China possess; Moreover, Bulgaria, Slovakia and Greece are NATO countries.
Interestingly, the words of Assad that the first batch of Russian C-300 came to Syria were published immediately after the information appeared about the intention of EU officials to lift the embargo on the supply of arms to Syria. The authorities of individual EU countries can get the opportunity to supply weapons to Syrian militants unilaterally without the need to coordinate such supplies directly with the EU authorities. The term of the embargo ends on May 31, and after that, the EU states alone may be able to transfer arms to the Syrian “opposition” directly. The embargo, reportedly, could be extended and all EU members without exception would be obliged to comply with it, but only in the EU does the horror story about the use of chemical weapons in Syria continue. Needless to say, it is the Syrian government forces that are able to use weapons of mass destruction in Brussels. The fact that this was done as an obvious provocation by radical Islamists is out of the question, although the evidence base is more than convincing.
Is it worth being killed about the fact that now even Europeans can directly get an opportunity to provide support to Syrian extremists? It would be possible to get killed if Syrian militants had not received any help before. But the presence of Western (plus Turkish, Israeli, Qatari) small arms, armored vehicles, equipment, MANPADS, mines, communications and navigation systems suggests that all this fussing with the embargo is nothing more than fuss. The embargo was only a cover for the Western world (well, the EU, at least) to cover up the illegal supply of weapons to the radicals in Syria. Like, look - we don’t deliver any weapons to the Syrian government forces, which means we are keeping the embargo .. But, excuse me, we didn’t wait for, for example, the British suddenly began to deliver weapons to the Assad troops ...
And if now the observance of the embargo on individual EU countries does not apply, then the EU finally signs off in a desire to support a motley crowd of extremists in Syria. Again to support extremists ... And yet this is already something that clearly resembles frank sadomasochism. At a time when European countries themselves are suffering from rising radical Islamist sentiments, when extremists allow themselves to keep in fear entire urban areas of the cities of the once calm old Europe, European leaders are ready to support Syrian militants with all their might. The disease is serious and requires effective treatment ...
But if the European leaders are not friendly with the head, then what about the Israeli authorities, who are going to solve the Syrian issue in the same way? One gets the impression that Israel wants to receive at its side another pseudo-state in which radical sentiments will reign that can ultimately spill over against Israel itself. If there is little Palestine, infinitely revolutionary Egypt, and if there is a desire to be in the tight circle of "friends" from among the radical Islamists with the elevation of this to the degree of chaos, carnage and clan fighting (as in Libya, for example), then Israel can only wish: forward and with a song! .. If the head on the shoulders of Israeli politicians has remained, then it is time to reconsider its policy towards the current Syrian authorities. At the very least, Netanyahu managed to besiege Minister Ya'alon, from his office, saying that he bit his tongue about Israel’s determination to solve the Syrian issue now. What is it? A glimpse of reason or a banal reassurance related to the advent of Russian C-300 in Syria? The second in this situation looks more likely ... Well, if there is no gray matter of its own, then C-300 adds it.
By the way, all the lamentations of the West and its allies about Russia's supply of S-300 to Syria, generally speaking, are unreasonable. ZRS-300 - a weapon of clearly defensive nature. And when you consider that the Syrian "opposition" has aviation no, but, therefore, it is difficult to use these complexes against it (the “opposition”), then the West, together with Israel, gives itself off with all its giblets. Between the lines regarding the American (European and Israeli) concern about the Russian supply of anti-aircraft missile systems reads: “Putin, what have you done! We already wanted to send our bombers to the skies above Syria, and you ... "Well, in words: wai-wai-wai - support for an authoritarian system, wai-wai-wai - axis of evil, wai-wai-wai - opposition to democracy ...
Yes, we heard all this already. Has got it already! Not impressive. And if they want to talk about it, then let them talk with our C-300 - heart to heart ... Maybe those foolish ones will beat out ...
