Silence In Syria, Panic In Iran

"Syria has gone on a profligate buying spree, spending vast sums on Russian systems, "considered the cutting edge in aircraft interception technology."

Syria now "possesses the most crowded antiaircraft system in the world," with "more than 200 antiaircraft batteries of different types," some of which are so new that they have been installed in Syria "before being introduced into Russian operation service."

I think the Syrians got ripped off.

I think Syria’s silence is due to more than just perhaps a broken down air defense. I think they’ve been caught with their radioactive pants down.

And guess what happened with the Russian super-hyper-sophisticated cutting edge antiaircraft missile batteries when that penetration took place on September 6th. Nothing.

So much for the Russophile wankers who claim the bear is now a force to be reckoned with.

> Why would the Syrian government be so tight-lipped
> about an act of war perpetrated on their soil?

In addition to the speculations in the article (which
might suffice to explain it), there is also the curious
question of “has anyone seen Assad lately?”.

Condi supposedly had a phone conference with Syria
on the 25th, but has said little about it, in particular
whether the Basher himself was on the line.

Other than that, I see nothing from him in the media
since before the incursion. I’m wondering it Syria is
quiet because they are frantically trying to dig him
and a bunch of top Baathists out of some ruins at a
target site.

It may depend on who is operating the air-defense surveillance system too. It is looking more and more like Mossad has penetrated Syria’s intelligence and armed forces.

Iran and Syria against America and Israel is like a mouse trying to fight a hungry lion. Syria got owned. You are next Iran.

I think the Syrians got ripped off.

The Russians wouldn't do that, or would they?

Bwahahahahaha.

I guess you take the boy out of the KGB, but you can't take the KGB out of the boy.

Great post.

Methinks the Russkies sold them some bum equipment.

[RockinRight]

Well said.

[RightWhale]

There is no defense anymore. Iran best make peace now.

Russians are the greatest used car salesmen in the world.

Great bumper sticker, that

I imagine Assad on the phone to Putin, wondering why Israeli aircraft, like bees, are flying his skies unopposed, with all that overrated, overrated Russian anti-aircraft junk dotting his landscape. Whatever the reasons, it’s just funny.

[Obadiah]

Awesome! Best news I’ve heard all day. Only Democrats are saddened by this news.

It reminds me of “Back to the Future”, where the Professor sells the Libyans pinball machine parts for a nuclear weapon- ha
