“Russian nuclear cruiser makes port call in Syria”
20:041 4/04/2010

SNIPPET: “Russia’s nuclear-powered missile cruiser Pyotr Veliky has arrived in Syria’s Mediterranean port of Tartus ahead of Russian Navy drills in the Indian Ocean.

A large Syrian naval delegation accompanied by Russia’s ambassador to Syria, Sergei Kirpichenko, visited the Russian warship on Wednesday.
“The Pyotr Veliky’s visit to the Syrian port of Tartus is a symbolic event. It is a continuation of our historic ties with Syria that serves as a guarantee of our future cooperation not only in the naval sphere but also in other areas,” Kirpichenko said.

“I am certain that we will witness new and significant progress in our bilateral cooperation in the near future,” he added.”

S-300 and Iskander missile defense systems

Just more Russian defense systems for the Israelis to embarrass.

The appropriate response is for Israel to supply the Chechen.

I think we are getting close to that time that is predicted in the Bible that predicts that this city will cease to exist despite some 5,500 years of continual existence.

[SatinDoll]

What city?

[SatinDoll]

All the really nice, advanced weaponry and gear are no replacement for real warriors with training and courage.

Syria, there will be no United States to stop the Israelis at the gates of Damascus like the last time you were stupid enough to take them on. (Blame Obama!) The Jews will TAKE you entire nation if you attack them.

Damascus

[Mr. Mojo]

Syria, there will be no United States to stop the Israelis at the gates of Damascus like the last time

Let's hope not. Wouldn't put anything past the regime of Hussein Obama.

[SatinDoll]

Thank you. We’re evidently thinking about the same outcome.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Damascus.

[SatinDoll]

Yes.

If the Israelis do take Damascus, how long will it be before Iran hits Israel with nukes?

Anyone want to guess?

[SatinDoll]

LOL!

[RFEngineer]

the S-300 is a formidable system - unlike the systems formerly employed by Syria.

[Constantine XI Palaeologus]

The Iskander is an offensive missile system, not defensive. wikipedia

Course, no matter what they Syrians have, it doesn't mean squat without training.
