Interesting, the B1's took off from Qatar, Way out of S-400 range... That would mean the B1s bypassed at least two remaining ISIS strongholds to reach their targets in Damascus and Homs.

Note in the last two paragraphs -
- 1 - The Navy just ordered 350-odd new ones in the last two years.
- 2 - The Navy also ordered -”the procurement of modernization kits to be installed in Fiscal 2019, when the Navy begins mid-life recertification.” - which clearly indicates a stockpile that is aging and requires mid-life recertification in 2019. On the whole, one would think its better to shoot off the old ones and replace with new, than to mess about maintaining old stocks.

I missed the part about Putin saying if the allies fired more than 110 missiles, he will shoot them down. I guess firing 109 meant he got a full night’s sleep. Right?

I think their top antiaircraft missiles might cost comparably to a JASSM. Forcing Russians to spend money is how we brought down the USSR the first time.

"It more than paid for itself in the message sent to Iran, Russia and the region. The United States can act with impunity and Russia cant save you. ....and North Korea."
Russia is using Syria as a public weapons testing area. Putin hopes to sell arms for cash.
President Trump just proved to the world that deploying Russian weapons won't save you.
To: Navy Patriot
Actually, the way to look at is that Qatar and Saudi Arabia are Thirteenth Century Islamic Terrorist states that the US, UK and ESPECIALLY France should have Nuked back to the Stone Age and turned their "Mecca" into a mile diameter glass bowl. And Qatar has publicly sided with the West and helped bomb their fellow muslim Assad even further into the stone age.
To: armourenthusiast
Showing the world that Russian weapons were futile against American forces in the first Gulf War put a heavy dent in the USSR’s arms business. What do they export but arms and oil?

true, but i don't think there are that many out there to get new mod-kits, most anything we have would have been built post 9/11 Iraq/Afghan strikes which ate up most if not all of what was left after the Gulf war, not to mention what 0bama used and the 50 some Trump launched the last time
and after looking at the numbers from this strike, at least 66 came from the UK/france
i guess my point is we don't really have that a large surplus

And Qatar has publicly sided with the West and helped bomb their fellow muslim Assad ...Just as their/our ally Saudi Arabia has sided with the West and helped bomb their fellow Muslims.

The Saudi's have been at war with Iran in Yemen for years now.
It's not going well, even with our support.
So the Saudi's are now on a good will tour, they've even found nice things to say about Israel.

The “Saud” family are definitely of Jewish lineage.
One of the worst kept ‘secrets’ on Earth.

We shot 802 of them in 2003. The Program Office was begging them to stop.

Good.

Also good, one thing we know about Muslims is they never lie or engage in deception to disarm those they hate, it is forbidden in the Koran.
