What will Syria fight in case of possible external aggression?

On the eve of TSAMTO conveyed a message about the potential of Syria to repel external aggression. In connection with the rapid development of the situation, TSAMTO publishes extensive material on this topic.

As already reported, the situation around Syria has strained to the limit under the far-fetched pretext of the use of chemical weapons by government forces. weapons.

What has changed in the political arena over the past day in assessing the possibility of a strike on Syria?

US President Barack Obama is ready to sanction a limited military strike on Syria, despite the refusal of the British authorities to participate in the operation, the Washington Post reported, citing representatives of the US administration.

On the eve of the British Parliament rejected a proposal by Prime Minister David Cameron on a possible military operation in Syria. The vote was advisory in nature, but D. Cameron said that he would act according to the opinion of parliament.

It should be noted that two days ago, the British Foreign Ministry for the aggressiveness of military rhetoric even outstripped the United States, saying that "the military operation against Syria will begin, even despite the UN Security Council veto."

Commenting on the refusal of the British authorities to participate in the military operation, a representative of the US National Security Council Caitlin Hayden said “RIA News”That US President Barack Obama will be guided by the national interests of the United States when deciding on Syria.

“Despite the statements that B.Obama did not make a final decision, everything indicates that the blow may occur as soon as the UN inspectors investigating the alleged Himataku leave the country on August 9, the Washington Post writes.

On the eve of Brussels, a NATO council was held at the level of 28 ambassadors of the North Atlantic Alliance. Diplomats blamed the use of chemical weapons in Syria on President Bashar al-Assad, saying that they have at their disposal "information available from a wide range of sources indicating the Syrian regime as responsible for the use of chemical weapons." NATO also said that those responsible for himataku should be responsible for their actions, reports RIA Novosti.

The meeting of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council on the situation in Syria ended the day before without a specific decision, reports France Press.

The meeting of the Five (China, Russia, Great Britain, the USA and France) was held on the initiative of Russia.

The subject of the consultation was a draft resolution proposed by the UK, which provided for the adoption of all necessary measures to protect civilians in Syria, including the possibility of using force against the Syrian authorities. On Wednesday, representatives of the "five" have already discussed this British initiative and also did not come to an agreed decision.

According to TSAMTO, if Russia and China, acting jointly on the Syrian issue, will succeed in unblocking the situation at the diplomatic level, this will be a great victory for common sense.

Considering the fact that the regular units of the Syrian army have recently achieved significant success in combating armed oppositions (read mercenaries), the made-up pretext of allegedly using chemical weapons by the troops is the “last grip” to unleash aggression against Syria and accomplish the task which the armed opposition could not decide - to overthrow the regime of Bashar al-Assad.

Therefore, Russian diplomacy in cooperation with the Chinese side is facing extraordinary efforts to ensure the supremacy of the UN Security Council resolution on Syria when making certain unilateral decisions (bypassing the UN Security Council) by Western countries (primarily the United States). In addition, it is necessary to ensure the utmost objectivity of the investigation by UN inspectors of the use of chemical weapons in Syria.

What can Syria oppose in case of external aggression?

An obvious advantage, in the case of a ground operation, is the mobilized army, which has recently gained tremendous experience in fighting the armed opposition, including in urban environments. The disadvantage is that part of the military infrastructure has already been destroyed by opposition militants. It is possible that damage was caused to a number of bases where ammunition is stored, as well as to military infrastructure facilities. Based on the fact that hostilities with the opposition are conducted almost throughout the country, it can be assumed that the location of key military infrastructure in Syria has long been known both to militants and their foreign sponsors.

With regard to the combat readiness of the Syrian Air Force, it should be noted that the fighter aviation during the armed struggle with the opposition it was used extremely rarely, and there is no data on the effectiveness of the use of military helicopters (several helicopters of the government army were lost as a result of shelling from MANPADS).

The existing air defense weapons were absolutely not involved, which in the case of external aggression should play a key role (obviously, at the first stage these will be massive strikes with cruise missiles with the further use of aircraft on key military infrastructure).

Air Defense

In recent years, Russia has carried out several large arms shipments to Syria. Among the largest programs in the air defense segment:

- supply of 6 ZRPK 2С6 “Tunguska” (the contract was concluded in 2004 year, delivery was realized approximately in 2008 year);

- 18 delivery of Buk-M2E ADMS (the contract was concluded in 2007 year, delivery - in 2008 year);

- supply of 36 ZRPK Pantsir-С1 (the contract was concluded in 2006 year, deliveries began in 2008 year, this year, presumably, the last batch of 6 units must be delivered);

- delivery of a large batch of Igla MANPADS as part of the Sagittarius launch modules (order from 2005 of the year, delivery to 2005-2006, the number is not known);

- delivery of two divisional sets of the Pechora-125М C-2 ZRS (order from 2008 of the year, delivery to 2011 and 2012 from the Air Force, 2 of the divisional sets for 4 PU, total 8 PU).

Prospective purchases in the short term in the air defense segment:

- modernization of the C-125 “Neva” air defense system (several dozen). The current technical condition of the complexes and the degree of their readiness is unknown. A request for a commercial proposal for the modernization of the C-125 air defense system into the C-125 version of the Pechora-2М was received for a long time, the program status is not known;

- the purchase of the Tor-M1 air defense system (the application has been received for a long time, the program status is not known);

- purchase of C-300 AAMS (delivery data not available).

It should be noted that there is still no exact data on what type of C-300 AAMS system Syria ordered in the 2010 year (for a number of sources - C-300PMU-1).

Supposedly, deliveries under this contract should be completed no earlier than mid-year 2014. After delivery, commissioning and comprehensive testing of the operation of all the equipment included in the C-300 ZRS, it will take at least six months to train Syrian specialists, even if they have previously completed training in Russia. Therefore, the achievement of full combat readiness of Syrian C-300 SAMs (if they are delivered anyway) can be expected no earlier than the end of 2014 - the beginning of 2015 of the year.

Other programs

Among the other largest programs that are currently implemented with Syria, it should be noted that the OBT T-72 fleet was upgraded to the T-72М1 level (around 1000 units), two Bastion-P PBRKs were delivered, a large number of aircraft MiG-23 fighter fleet, modernization of several MiG-29С fighters, delivery of training equipment for Mi-17 and Mi-24 helicopters and a number of other programs.

Among the promising projects were discussed the possible purchase of diesel-electric submarines, MBT T-90С, various types of surface war ships, a number of other weapons.

Currently, contracts for the supply of several weapon systems, including 24 fighter jets MiG-29М / М2 and 36 Yak-130UBS, are underway with Syria, but now they are suspended because of the actual blockade of transport routes by Western countries.

Other suppliers

In addition to Russia, a number of Syrian weapons systems put Iran and, possibly, North Korea.

REFERENCE:

The military-technical cooperation of Russia and Syria began in 1956. During the period of cooperation, about 65 tactical and operational-tactical missile systems, about 5 thousand, were delivered to the Syrian Armed Forces. tanks, more than 1,2 thousand combat aircraft, 4,2 thousand artillery guns and mortars, 70 warships and boats, other types of weapons.

Consequences for Russia

From the point of view of ensuring its geopolitical influence in the region for Russia, the preservation of the item of material and technical support of the Russian Federation is of key importance. fleet in the Syrian port of Tartus. The MTO point in Tartus is the only reference point of the Russian Navy in the Mediterranean Sea.

With the loss of Tartus, the deployment of the Russian naval force on a permanent basis in the Mediterranean Sea will become problematic.

In the case of the fall of the Bashar Assad regime, Russia, represented by Syria, will lose its almost only current ally in the Middle East, and the loss of profits due to the cessation of military-technical cooperation with Damascus will amount to several billion dollars.

If, as a result of external aggression, the legitimate authority in Syria is forcibly overthrown, the next predictable step will be the military operation of the USA and Israel against Iran, which will bring the theater of military operations closer to the borders of Russia.

        I can reassure you - those who need it already know this, especially if you remember that Israel is nearby, and the Mossad does not eat bread in vain. Just if you’re trying to describe
        What will Syria fight in case of possible external aggression?
        it would be desirable if their data and opportunities could be cited.
        Here are 6 ZRPK 2S6 "Tunguska" - this is a lot, enough or not enough, and if they are already remembered, then how many "Shiloks" do the Syrians have, and ZU 23-2? A ZSU-57 has not survived?

          Today in Syria's air defense there are about 900 air defense systems and more than 4000 anti-aircraft guns of various modifications. Most reachable in range are the S-200 Angara and S-200V Vega air defense systems (near 50 launcher) and the S-75 Dvina; S-75M Volga. Israel's extreme concern is the modern medium-range air defense systems - the early C-300 modifications (48 air defense systems), which at the end of 2011 were allegedly supplied by Russia (according to other sources - Belarus and China). The largest representation in the air defense system of Syria are air defense systems and medium-range air defense systems, among which there are modern complexes Buk-M1-2, Buk-M2E (36 SOU, 12 ROM), as well as obsolete air defense systems C-125 Neva, S -125M "Pechora" (140 PU), 200 SPU "Cube" ("Square"), 14 batteries of the Osa air defense system (60 BM). In addition, in 2006, a contract was signed for the supply of Syria 50 with the most advanced Pantsir-S1E air defense missile systems, some of which are already in service. The ground forces include the Strela-1 anti-aircraft missile launcher, the Strela-10 BM (35 units), about the 4000 Strela-2 / 2M MANPADS, the Strela-3 air defense system, and more than 2000 XU-XN anti-aircraft artillery systems -23, ZSU-2-23 "Shilka" (4 units). For long-term storage there are anti-aircraft artillery guns of calibers 400 mm and 37 mm, as well as 57 mm guns KS-100.

              You missed the discussion. He was silent because he had little to compete with the Israeli Air Force in special operations. This is not a jamb, this is the order of things. It’s one thing to call a point strike, another thing to shoot back from a massive raid.

                With the extreme raid of the Jews, according to some reports, one plane was lost. Either they shot down, or he fell down.

                Believing official Israeli information is pointless, according to it, they did not fly or bomb at all.

        Or do you still think that the intelligence of Amers and Israel is ... like ours ????

        Everything is unexpected ... all of a sudden, once the Grad’s division unexpectedly started firing at Tskhinvali? wassat

        Her, dear ... that's what you are in vain recourse Or "a lot of hats for throwing"? wassat

        JYL-1 Chinese three-coordinate long-range radar detection station deployed in Syria (pictured is a self-propelled version of the station)

        and JY-27 VHF, Type 120 (LLQ120) 2D Low Altitude Target Detection Radars.

        The Pentagon will "gather" data on the effectiveness of Chinese systems and test its methods of overcoming Syrian air defenses and only then will strike!

        A more pressing question is to what extent the Syrian air defense, modernized by China, will pose a threat to attacking American aircraft.

        Syria has 120 air defense positions, equipped with a mixture of Russian and old Soviet air defense systems SA-2, SA-3, SA-5 and SA-6 (respectively S-75, S-125, S-200 and "Square"), as well as 50 EW stations of Chinese and Russian production.

        Modern Chinese radars can detect stealth American planes, perhaps even stealth planes and KR.

        The JY-27 radars (range of detection of air targets of 500 km), set in 2006, may turn out to be especially effective.

        Currently, these stations are deployed north and south of the city of Palmyra in central Syria.
        The detection range of these radars permeates not only Syrian airspace, but also the space of neighboring states.

        Little is known about the less powerful Type 120 two-axis radar (LLQ120), which is a further development of the JY-29 / LSS-1 2D, capable of simultaneously tracking 72 targets at a distance of 200 km.

        Probably, these radars work only in range and azimuth of targets, which makes them an addition to the general air defense radar system.

        China itself is deploying 120 such radars as part of the HQ-9 and HQ-12 air defense systems, but Syria can use them as specialized EW stations.

        Syria is armed with four Type 120 radar positions deployed in Dar-Izzah, Baniyas, Tartus and Kafr Bukhum.
        JY-29 radars were previously mistakenly identified as JY-11B Hunter-1.

        A tri-band JYL-1 radar with a detection range of 320 km is deployed in the Kafr-Bukhum area.
        Previously, it was also incorrectly identified as the YLC-2V High Guard 3D.

        There are a number of questions regarding whether Chinese radars can transmit target data to Soviet-made air defense systems, because the lack of interaction will force the use of voice communication to transfer data between nodes, which is a potential source of errors, they can also be interfered with if data is transmitted in open mode.

        Ultimately, Syria’s integrated air defense system will not be able to successfully withstand a large-scale military operation from the United States and NATO.

          If we assume that the Chinese radars are deployed and the Syrian crews have learned to skillfully operate them. How and how to implement the data received from these radars? How resistant are the enemy’s electronic warfare equipment? Are there enough air defense forces and equipment to protect these radars, as well as military personnel for defense and protection of radar positions?

There are extinct volcanoes on the Golan Heights, along the border, there are Israeli military bases (I think this is not a military secret laughing ) So Damascus can be seen without binoculars in fine weather, as well as other cities, and I don’t even need satellites to detect missile points and radars, I wrote that year at the beginning of the Syrian conflict, that Israeli planes were flying over Syria if you remember? Then almost the entire territory was still under government control.

              If you wish, you can cover any equipment. There are many ways to disguise, it is enough to be smart. Suppose you need to cover the air defense shell. It’s not a matter of digging three shelters with an excavator at a distance of 30 m from each other, the complex is driven into one of them, covered from above, laid off even with straw and covered with soil. False shelters also fall asleep, everything is equal on top and guess where it is hidden. The likelihood that an explosion of a bomb within a radius of 5 meters will disable it is minimal. But these are of course complex tricks, it is enough to drive them into a settlement and hide under awnings ...

False shelters also fall asleep, everything is equal on top and guess where it is hidden. The likelihood that an explosion of a bomb within a radius of 5 meters will disable it is minimal. But these are of course complex tricks, it is enough to drive them into a settlement and hide under awnings ...

                But what about the rebels and their "sympathizers", they, even without special means such as drones, transmit the movements of troops and equipment

                  The rebels and their sympathizers can give out with high accuracy the coordinates of stationary objects, such as, for example, stationary radars, barracks, deployed headquarters and they are likely to be destroyed. The same objects that can be moved using for shelter, for example, civil buildings in the village are more stable, because during the time between the establishment of coordinates, transferring them to the interested party and striking, the position of this object may change. Americans will not randomly hit civilian targets, because the danger of defeating non-combatants still worries them, no matter what they say.

Its task is to preserve artillery, tanks, and preferably helicopters, mobile headquarters, communications, and maximum warehouses. In principle, all this is feasible by dispersal over the controlled territory, as well as regular movement. Losses will certainly be inevitable, but it will be possible to make them minimal.

So one can argue for a long time about US intelligence. Remember the "friendly" shelling of each other's penguins in Afghanistan? there, too, they crumbled each other themselves, be healthy, because "according to American intelligence ..."))))) but about the "suddenly" emerging "Grads" on the outskirts of Tskhinval - have you ever heard the word "politics" and the term "political technologies"? "tactics" and "strategy"? Have you ever thought that the intelligence was aware, just that the leadership of Russia (South Ossetia and Abkhazia) needed the Georgians to start shelling Ossetian cities? in order to get a legitimate, within the framework of international law) reason to gouge the entire military infrastructure of Georgia (causing great material damage to Saakashvil and slapping NATO and the United States in the face), as well as to finally give independence and recognition to South Ossetia and Tskhtinval?

Even when watching videos shot by Syrian and Russian journalists, tankers act in the city without cover infantry. in one video I personally saw the operation of special forces with tanks. so that the tanks to hide from the militants built themselves a corridor of buses with the full connivance of the infantry, there even snipers did not work against the grenade launchers.

          According to specialists, based on the air defense and aviation resources available to Syria, the situation looks something like this. Syrian air defense will be able to repel the first blows destroy 40 to 50 air attack weapons, including up to 20-30 long-range cruise missiles, with a distraction of false targets up to 40-60% or more percussion instruments.
          At the same time, their own losses can amount to no more than 10-15% of the initial composition, while retaining their combat capability.
          And this is subject to a high-quality operational environment, good training of personnel, their experience and the organization of counteraction against ground-based DRGs.
          Syria’s air defense system is capable of disrupting an air offensive operation or even an air campaign of the NATO and Israeli air forces if 450-500 aircraft and 200-400 cruise missiles are involved in its operation.
          In order to secure air supremacy over Syria within a reasonable timeframe, the NATO-Israel coalition will need to create an aviation grouping of at least 2000-2500 multi-purpose aircraft and at least 1000-1500 sea-based and air-based long-range cruise missiles.

          To suppress the Syrian air defense system, which has about 650 anti-aircraft missile systems, and aviation, which has about 450 aircraft of different classes, the creation of overwhelming air superiority will be required, otherwise NATO aviation losses will be very large. The alliance will need to assemble an air fleet of 1500-2000 aircraft.
          If the NATO forces create a grouping of only 600-700 vehicles, it will suffer significant losses, because it will not be able to suppress all air defense and air force assets at the same time, and many of them will effectively counter it. If they create a grouping comparable to that which was set up against Iraq in 2003, that is, 2000-2500 aircraft, then by massing forces they will be able to solve the problem of suppressing air defense and air force assets in the first blows. Then the loss of NATO aviation can have in the range of 20-30 aircraft.

              Martin Dempsey, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
              sent official letter to the Senate with his assessment of a possible military intervention in Syria. The general assessment of the military operation by the general remained negative.
              Training and support for Syrian rebels costs about $ 500 million a year. * "Limited" attacks with cruise missiles and aircraft against "hundreds" of military targets in Syria .. Estimated cost of the operation: "billions of dollars" ... Creating a “no-fly” zones ”in Syria in order to limit the use of the Syrian Air Force. Initial value: $ 500 million, further value: $ 1 billion per month ...
              Securing control over chemical weapons in Syria. It will require the creation of a “no-fly zone”, and the introduction of a limited contingent of ground forces, as well as operations to seize objects using special forces. Cost of operation: over $ 1 billion per month.

                It fits. The fact is that by printing money and "scrolling" with their help its economy, the United States will need to get rid of their excess (inflationary) mass in the United States (otherwise inflation and dollar depreciation cannot be avoided). The war, and the subsequent restoration of Syria, as well as - - loans and financial assistance to the new government (in the event of a displacement of the legitimate government) - an ideal opportunity for the United States to get rid of unnecessary (in the United States) paper (while receiving a lot of political and economic dividends). But in case of a "not successful war" the consequences for the United States may become unpredictable (from the consolidation of anti-American forces in the Islamic world to the aggravation of financial problems in the United States itself).

          You give figures, not taking into account the use by the coalition forces of electronic warfare, the state of the Syria’s combat control system, after the first wave of strikes. The number of air defense systems indicated by you does not exist. The May and July strikes by the means indicated by you, the Syrian command failed to repel. Air defense systems are characterized not only by quantitative indicators. An example of Iraqi and Libyan air defense is a convex example. A fair amount of contamination of the territory of Syria by regular and contingent agents of the Coalition countries will greatly simplify the task of detecting and neutralizing Syrian air defense forces and means before launching the massive use of cruise missiles.

                Regarding its losses, the US Army statistics are lying. Counts the loss of ONLY AMERICAN CITIZENS. And in hot spots of non-US citizens in the Amer army serves at least 2/3 of the personnel. They are fighting for US citizenship. Which they promised after returning with a victory.

                Think about yourself, whom the amerskoy command tends to send to the most dangerous places?

                For example, during the suppression of the Shiite insurgency in Falluja, the army did not begin the storming of the city until they completed the entire sergeant composition of the military group of immigrants from the CIS - non-citizens of the United States. First, it was believed that these same people for urban battles are better suited, and secondly, to improve the loss statistics. And they do not mind.

                And still do not consider the loss of PMCs - private military companies. And there are no fewer of them than state troops. How much exactly, no one knows at all.

                In addition, if as a result of a fire a soldier dies not immediately, and after (sometimes a lot after) dies in a hospital, he also does not get into the statistics of combat losses.

                But that is not all. Some of the dead are recorded as service members outside the hot spots. And they, too, are not recorded in the statistics of combat losses.

                REAL losses of the American army - the biggest state secret of the USA. Amer concluded from his Vietnam war. According to the US military, in Vietnam, the United States could not win because of journalists. Which sent sensational materials from the war. Now, journalists in hot spots are taken under unprecedented control. They also shut up those who were trying to inflate about freedom of the press and the right of citizens to information.

        Maybe there won't be this next war, Honest Jew. Here is a look at the problem of the Russian historian V. Mirsky: "I am not one of those who are convinced that the Assad regime could in no way use this weapon;" that in Damascus - are they full to expose themselves like that? " Of the two sides fighting in Syria, neither is better than the other, each is capable of anything. Of course, it is more logical to assume that this provocation was arranged by the opposition in order to give the West a pretext to actively intervene. But it is possible that the government also intended to provoke the West to do just that. intervention. Why? Yes, so that America is drawn into a war that it cannot win. Assad is well aware that there will be no mortal threat to him, even if his enemies launch missile strikes. Of course, his military potential will be seriously weakened, but how can they in Damascus to doubt that Russia and Iran will easily compensate for all the losses, will give as many weapons as needed, and Tehran will still throw in manpower - "volunteers" of their number of soldiers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps tion. Yes, and Hezbollah from Lebanon will bring up new forces of experienced and fearless fighters, Shiite fanatics, only who can resist the Sunni fanatics.

        Now Assad has found a second wind, he is sure that time is working for him, because it is impossible to destroy his regime without a large-scale land operation involving tens, if not hundreds of thousands of soldiers. But such an operation will not be, this is clear to everyone, even air bombing is very problematic: after all, Assad’s air defense systems are much stronger than those that the ill-fated Gaddafi had, there will be serious losses, pilots will die. But neither in the USA nor in Europe, I am sure, there will be a man who would agree to send “our guys” to death in order to bring down some Arab dictator. A recent survey in the United States showed that only 9% approve of a military operation. Therefore, Obama and Cameron are forced to limit themselves to half measures - rocket attacks from ships. By doing so, they divert themselves from the fierce criticism that both leaders, especially Obama, have continuously been subjected to for many months ("washed his hands, just chatting, and there the whole people are dying!") And at the same time avoid victims on their own side. And eat the fish ... and so on. But you won’t win the war with cruise missiles, and you won’t help the rebels too much, because they demand that they be supplied with anti-aircraft systems and anti-tank missiles, but this is precisely what Obama is afraid to do, realizing how many buckets of slop will be poured on him in his country, if it turns out that Damascus was captured by the savages and scumbags from Al-Qaeda, faithful to Bin Laden's precepts - to kill Americans wherever possible.

        Therefore, the Assad regime is not afraid that targeted missile strikes will lead to a victory for the rebels. And the moral and political gain for Damascus would be enormous: just imagine the headlines in the media, starting from the Russian ones: “So they waited — another country fell victim to gross aggression under a far-fetched clumsy pretext! After Iraq. Afghanistan, Libya - now Syria! The aggressors have shown their face once again! More importantly, the more America gets involved in the Syrian war, the more likely - under the law of escalating conflicts - that Russia and Iran, not wanting to lose face, will double and triple their support for the Assad regime. It turns out that by drawing the West deeper into the war, you draw Russia deeper - on your side - and tie it closer to you. Isn't all this a plus for Assad and his entourage, isn't it a win? Why not go to the provocation with the use of chemical weapons for this? "
        Doesn't that sound pretty convincing? After all, “don't put your finger in your mouth” to Bashar al-Assad, as the classics wrote. Father ruled an artificial state with an iron hand, an example before his eyes.

      In an open confrontation with the coalition of the West, Turkey and the Arab monarchies, victory in the Syrian war cannot be won.

      Assad’s chance is to disperse his forces, evacuate strategic targets, and wait out an attack that will be time-limited. Save your strength in this way to continue the fight against the rebels. In addition, Assad needs to expose the civilian population of Syria, a small sacrifice throughout the country, several thousand, including women and children, to place the civilian population in the places of the alleged attack, to show in all media the footage of dead civilians injured during shelling of the coalition. To wage an information war, to raise a wave of civil protest in Western countries, behind enemy lines.

          Regarding Hiroshima, Dresden, Korea and Vietnam - this was a long time ago, after World War II, few people paid attention to the loss of civilians at that time.
          Relatively recently there were wars in Yugoslavia, Iraq and Libya. Civilians perished.
          But the Western public did not see the corpses of civilians who died as a result of the NATO attacks on the pages of newspapers and television screens, they do not know this, many think that they helped people to destroy tyrants.
          No one has ever waged a successful information war with them.
          Of course, if, as a result of the US attack, there will be enough civilian casualties in Syria, Assad will not need to put his hand to it, but it would be desirable if he himself planned such a trap.

              I get the feeling that you give too low an assessment of the mental abilities of Europeans and Americans. Stop listening to Zadornov’s feuilleton :)

              Do you know that in the last year, the Russia Today news channel in English began to become popular in the West?
              And the fact that most of the French, Americans and British are against the operation in Syria?
              And the fact that the representatives of the inhabitants of England - the House of Commons of the British Parliament has already banned a military strike on Syria?
              In my opinion, this serves as direct evidence that the information attack works great.

              Now, regarding the fact that the placement of civilians on strategic projects is an ignoble act.

              You remember how the Yugoslavs voluntarily went out to defend the bridges from NATO air raids, they did not even have to be forced.

              And the Alawites, Armenians, Druze and Arabs are Christians KNOW that genocide awaits them in case of defeat; volunteers will not have to search for a long time.

              In addition, do not consider Assad a noble hero with an immaculate reputation, a faithful ally of Russia in the future, or a legally elected president.

If their governments wish, and the operation does not bring losses, everything will go like clockwork ... alas.

Alas ... all the intended goals were destroyed, no matter what ... and the factories and bridges .. and the television center banged and threw a gift to the Chinese ....

    Cyprus will provide its Andreas Papandreou airbase for the use of the Russian Air Force. According to the Filelefteros newspaper, such an agreement was reached by Russian and Cypriot Foreign Ministers Sergei Lavrov and Ioannis Kasulidis at the talks in St. Petersburg.

    It is planned to sign the agreement on the use of the base during the visit of the President of Cyprus Nikos Anastasiadis to Moscow, the date of which has not yet been determined. After that, Russia, which can already deploy its warships for refueling in the port of Limassol, will receive serious opportunities for operations in the Eastern Mediterranean, the newspaper notes. Now Moscow, which recently announced that the Russian fleet will be permanently present in the Mediterranean Sea, has at its disposal only a logistics point in the Syrian port of Tartus.

    “It’s absolutely clear that in addition to airplanes, Moscow will deploy radar detection equipment on its base that will cover part of the region, including Israel, Lebanon, Syria and part of Turkey,” a senior Russian Air Force officer said.

    The air force military base in Cyprus will be able to facilitate the duty of the Russian fleet in the Mediterranean Sea, in addition, after the destruction of militants in Syria, Tartus may become not just a logistics point, but a full-fledged naval base of Russia.

    MORE - MORE: On August 29, a large anti-submarine ship of the Pacific Fleet "Admiral Panteleev" left Novorossiysk for military service in the Mediterranean Sea.
    On August 30, a large landing ship of the Baltic Fleet “Minsk” left Novorossiysk for military service in the Mediterranean Sea.

But there is one small fact that everyone forgets. The S-300 air defense system has not yet participated in more than one military operation. And the military people know that the real combat situation is always different from the training one, even if training firing is as close to combat as possible. and if anyone has a fact about the use of this air defense system in real hostilities, then please give a link.

    Obama's determination to "punish" Assad appears to be fading away. The Geyropeans refused, either on their own or on orders from Washington, it does not matter, and Obama said that he would not fight alone.
    The United States will begin a military operation in Syria only as part of an international coalition. This, according to Reuters on August 30, said US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel.
    They will achieve little with missiles (already on the previous branch I spoke about this in more detail). and a full-scale ground operation is hundreds of coffins and a threat of impeachment from Congress (which is unlikely to give consent). Moreover, Assad explicitly stated that he would use chemical weapons in case of external aggression against Israel or American bases in Turkey or Jordan. It seems that all this fuss was started before the twenty summit in St. Petersburg in order to force Putin to make mistakes or with this sauce bargain for themselves favorable conditions “not to attack Syria”. One to the same thing was the injection around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, the days and hours were also counted before the attacks of Israel and the USA, and the faithful dog Netanyahu shook a cardboard with the red lineAs a result, Britain found an excuse for not participating in the bombing in the form of a ban on parliament, and the United States in the form of Britain's refusal. exactly the same as now, they did not bother to come up with anything new. And Putin, judging by his demonstrative calmness, did not fall for this hysteria.
    "Non-attack on Assad" in exchange for the abolition of the introduction of a monetary union between China and Russia, and after and in all BRICS countries. That's what the US and its owners fear the Fed bankers. Such a blow to the genitals, they clearly can not stand.
    Why not rule out the possibility of such an asymmetric response in the event of a direct attack by the United States and its BLV mongrels on Syria and Iran?

    Egypt closes Suez Canal for warships heading to attack Syria

    The French-language version of the Iranian news agency IRIB reports:

    The Egyptian Minister of War categorically spoke out: “Not a single warship, British or otherwise, has the right to cross the Suez Canal to attack Syria!” This decision is consistent with the joint defense agreement signed between Egypt and Syria, which obliges both countries to confront the common threat. The decision to close the strategic Suez Canal, which was adopted by Al-Sissi, complicates the task for the US-British coalition, ready to jointly attack Syria. CBS News said on Tuesday that the United States is preparing to launch raids against Syria on Thursday, its duration will be three days, they will be "limited and targeted." It is planned that against 40 targets, about 300 cruise missiles will be launched on Syrian territory, and the Syrian opposition will determine its goals on its own. The same Iranian agency in another message refers to Reuters as the primary source of information about the closure of the Suez Canal.
    NOT EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD IS THE ENEMIES OF SYRIA!

    Well-known French blogger Allen Jules, a well-informed expert on Middle Eastern issues and with his own sources of information, has just published the following:

    The situation is becoming increasingly difficult for Western politicians who are eager to start a war no less than Hitler once. General Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, Egypt’s new strong man, worthy heir to Nasser, announced the blocking of the Suez Canal for US warships sailing in the direction of Syria, including their floating supply bases.

    If we talk about purely military-technical benefits, then it will amount to not a few billion dollars, but much less. At the moment, the Syrians are able to pay their expenses only partially. Yes, and in the past they were mainly on credit.
    Trade with Turkey, Israel, the USA, etc. many times more.

    Russia has delayed the delivery of arms under contracts with Syria to a later date. According to a Kommersant newspaper on Saturday, August 31, citing a source close to Rosoboronexport, in particular, the first MiG-29M / M2 fighters to be delivered this year will only reach the Syrians in 2016 and 2017 year.

    According to the publication, the delivery dates for Yak-130 combat training aircraft and S-300PMU2 air defense systems may also move.

    According to Kommersant sources, the main reason for the delays was the financial difficulties of the Syrian side. In particular, for MiG, Syria paid only 30 percent of their value (in three tranches of 10 percent), after which payments were stopped.

The Armor that appeared in Syria, imprisoned on the Tomahawks, is a good sign. In any case, good luck in battle, Syrian friends! Let us recall the wars that Russia has been waging for centuries.

    The military-technical cooperation of Russia and Syria began in the 1956 year. During the period of cooperation, about 65 tactical and operational-tactical missile systems were delivered to the Syrian Armed Forces, about 5 thousand tanks, more than 1,2 thousand combat aircraft, 4,2 thousand artillery guns and mortars, 70 combat ships and boats, other types of weapons .

    People are fighting, not weapons. The results of the database will depend on the strength and training of the Syrian army.
    In battles with American mercenaries and other terrorists, the results of the Syrian troops are not brilliant.

    Over the past 40 years, the United States and NATO have gained vast experience in combating air defense systems built on the basis of the obsolete Soviet systems S-75, S-125, S-200 and Kvadrat. Such an air defense system was successfully suppressed by Israel in Lebanon, as well as by the US and its allies in Iraq and Yugoslavia. As a result, it can be considered today practically useless against the modern armed forces of NATO and quickly suppressed. And it was precisely on them that the first strike was delivered by Tomahawk cruise missiles from the ships of the 6th fleet in Libya. Some long-standing Soviet air defense systems S-200VE caused some concern for the Americans in Libya. To avoid the defeat of anti-aircraft artillery and man-portable air defense systems, coalition planes operated there from medium heights, at which it is impossible to get them. This tactic was well tested by the Americans in Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen. In addition, consider their undeniable superiority in the field of electronic warfare.

    War is not drafts, and not even football. A mechanical enumeration of everything that shoots does not mean anything. Air defense is a system where radars, electronic warfare systems, communications, and, most importantly, their interaction, preparedness and the morale of calculations play the most important role, and I repeat - the system. And it will be possible to speak about it only retroactively. The Serbs had an air defense system, were preparing to fight back, but their equipment lagged behind the aggressor for a generation and their rare, albeit striking successes - evidence that the system did exist. As is the case in Syria - God forbid that the quantity should be supplemented by quality: mastering the technique, coaching calculations, their coherence and willingness to fight.
