I think that was a troll. The all caps usually gives them away.

I wondered about the depth as well. Those were pretty large vessels launching those missiles in the videos I saw.

It is amazing that they were able to bring that bird back and even land it with that much wing missing.

They didn’t ‘land’ it they flew it to the ground. Fortunately they had enough runway to stop it. Incredible!

BOL!

“No matter how unpleasant and unexpected for our colleagues in the Pentagon and Langley was yesterday’s high-precision strike on Islamic State infrastructure in Syria, the fact remains that all missiles launched from our ships have found their targets,” ministry’s spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said.

On Thursday, CNN reported that four of the 26 missiles fired from Russian warships in the Caspian Sea went off target and crashed in Iran. That report was based on anonymous Pentagon sources, who despite claiming to have evidence of the targeting malfunction, could not identify where, precisely, the missiles landed.

“In contrast to CNN we do not talk with reference to anonymous sources,” Konashenkov said. “We show the launch of our rockets and the targets they struck.”
