The high precision strikes might have been “unpleasant and surprising for our colleagues in the Pentagon,” but the fact is that “the missiles launched from the ships hit their targets,” he said. “Otherwise one would have to acknowledge that IS facilities – located at a considerable distance from each other – exploded all by themselves,” Konashenkov said.

Hit Iran? Iran is too far away for short range missiles to reach.
With social media, it likely some pics may appear and then some missile parts. Since they did overfly Iran enroute from the Caspian Sea it is possible some fell short.
Unless they were launched from the Caspian sea which is still nearly 400 miles from the furthest eastern reaches of Syria.
“Hit Iran? Iran is too far away for short range missiles to reach.”
The Russians were showing off their long range cruise missile capabilities by launching from small ships in the Caspian sea. The missile would have to fly through Iranian and Iraqi airspace to get to Syria. They are claiming 26 launches 26 hits. CNN disagrees...
As the US is now supposedly an “ally’ of the Iranians then a “provocation” like this can be argued to justify other “steps”
Have the Iranians said anything about this?
All the camel riders together can be handled nicely with short range tac nukes, especially neutron which kills but does not destroy (as much)
Let it lie fallow for a while...
Just musing...
Please be serious, Ivan.
RT is a Russian government propaganda site. Don’t believe anything they report without verification from another more reputable source.
Ha, RT accepted here now? Pimping for that POS pedophile Putin? There were explosions in Iran and its too late to backtrack, that was in the Iranian press. http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/putins-missiles-misfire-kill-iranian-sheep-14033
OOps sorry ...go back to buying the CNN article with no sources.Sorry for a technicality and popping your disnfo bubble especially since Putin has done more to protect my family then anyone sitting on their fat ass on a website complaining or my government.
Sorry...carry on with your Russia mockery.
Like CNN, MSNBC, Reuters?
Paid Russian troll? Go rub oil on your queer leaders chest
Oh and point noted...you defend CNN. Like I said...you are not too bright.
Let us see whether the Pentagon presents actual evidence publicly rather than relying on CNN anonymous sources. Remember USG was lying just a few days ago about the Russians using only dumb bombs, an accusation now totally discredited.
The English Russia web site has video
of cruise missile launches it says is
into Syria. Impressive the way they are
lined up at nite headed off.
These were assault missiles... with big magazines.
I didn’t defend cnn I told you to go rub oil on your queer leaders chest while in horseback. Heck I know obama is a faggot but Putin is like a village people fag lmao
Wait wait. The Iranians are claiming the missiles killed Iranian sheep. I think this is a sneaky Russian attack on the next generation of Iranians.
