No kidding. These are not manpads. These are upgraded medium range SAMs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buk_missile_system

Terrorist organizations should not have these. I hope Russian advisers were killed.

The site allegedly attacked by Israel in Syria manufactured chemical and biological weapons, according to a report in Iraqi newspaper Azzaman that appears in London...

...The installation was badly damaged and there were numerous casualties. He said that about 3,000 Iranian Revolutionary Guards were stationed at the installation, as well as several Russian experts.

(I’m thinking BLU-109, which is about a 2,000 pounder.)
