One Exocet and the warhead did not detonate, just the left over fuel.

As I recall the range on these is only 120 to 300 kilometers. I think we can stay out of range. I still think if he attacks it will be B-2s from Missiouri and B-1s out of Qatar. Best way to stay away form radar.

Who knows with these people in charge they may run speed boats with pea shooters.

I was thinking the same thing. It only takes one hit . I’d expect Russia to assist Syria in making that happen.

Assad’s fighting for his life as it is. Syria should be expected to try to defend themselves against an attack from a foreign nation.
