Russia and Iran deny the report:

“Tehran has denied US reports that four of Russia's cruise missiles targeting ISIL actually fell to the ground in Iran, with the country's defense ministry calling the accusations “psychological war.”

“Russia's Defense Ministry also refutes US media reports of an alleged incident involving cruise missiles which were fired at ISIL positions in Syria on October 7, stating that all missiles hit their designated targets.”

“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.”

You are exactly right.

Isn’t it just peachy that POS Obama purged out our most competent Admirals and Generals./s

Well, he did the Stalin/Communist thing when he did that.

I don’t have a lot of faith in our current military leadership above 2 Star.

Lavrov is an incredible liar. But I think he regularly gets beat out for top prize. Nonetheless, Lavrov lies like Hillary.

“Only proves we have better aim...we hit the hospital...and the milk factory....and the Chinese embassy...”

... and every time we bombed a large group of armed and belligerent arab males it was really just a wedding party!

I started to ask the same question.

Could this be fuel degradation from being in storage for a long period.
I mean when is the last time anyone heard of the Russian Navy firing a weapon of any kind. I almost forgot they had a Navy.

Somebody is lying. Question is who.

Not really, because everyone is lying. The question is who's lying the most? The safe money for that bet is Russia and Iran.

Actually, we aren't debating anything of the kind.

We know that 4 of 26 missiles missed entirely, because they didn't even fall in the correct country. We have no idea that the remaining 22 landed anywhere near their "targets," only that they didn't miss as badly as the first 20%.

Yes. 20% That's a lot of misses, and there were no doubt many more.

Something very wrong with this story, what Russian “ships” are in the Caspian Sea? Maybe 2 barges.

So much easier to launch from their real ships in the Mediterranean.

It’s like the US launching missiles from Lake Michigan to hit a Caribbean target.

If the missiles weren’t hacked into crashing, at least our Intell guys got a lot of valuable information on the electronic trail of the missiles from ship-readiness to launch to flight.

Probably going to find out that the missiles were made in Red China.

Buy 20 missiles and you get two egg rolls free.

"CNN reported that four of the 26 missiles fired from Russian warships in the Caspian Sea"

Why would Russia have anything more than patrol boats in the isolated (and extremely shallow) Caspian Sea?
