The Russian fleet has been greatly beefed up from those earlier reports. Add these ships to the Russian fleet:

1 Kirov class battlecruiser
1 Kusnetsov class aircraft carrier
1 more Slava class missile cruiser
2 more Udaloy anti-submarine ships
3 Sovremenny class destroyers
1 Kashin class frigate
Several Nanchuka and Tarantul class missile corvettes (Sunburn (SS-N-22) and Super Sunburn (SS-N-26)anti-ship missiles)
2 more Akula class SSNs (1 Akula and 1 Sierra already deployed)
Possible 1-2 Oscar II class SSGNs

LOL. Jimmy Carter hasn’t been the worst president in American history for at least 4 years and 7 months now.

Your conclusion makes perfect sense...We have surely lost favor, plus it is arrogant to think that the US as we know it will endure till end times.

Hi, Jeff,

You seem to be really “up” on the weapons capabilities... What capabilities do the Syrians AND the Russians have to shoot down incoming Tomahawks?

Do we know to what degree Assad has been able to move assets into either hardened facilities, or into civilian areas?

What are Iran’s capabilities to respond to US at this point (beyond Hezbollah-type activities)? I recall that Iran had obtained / was supposedly trying to upgrade North Korean BM-25’s, I believe?

There is absolutely no confirmation that the Pacific Fleet with a Kirov, or the Kuznetsov is coming. Link please with a credible source.

Biblical scholars have often wondered why the United States isn’t ever mentioned in end-times prophecy. I offer this:

Could it be that the reason we’re not mentioned is that the US DOES NOT EXIST in that time because we’ve been blown off the map in a thermonuclear war?


Yes, this will happen.

BTW, what do you think of this, and how much does it increase the risks to our forces?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3063488/posts?page=107

Surely there is somewhat more risk, esp. if the Russians have any capability to track our planes.

There is so much in what is coming out of the Administration regarding the military intent & results of a U.S. hit on Syria that is (given a modicum of thought) contradictory, wishful thinking, or just plain silly, that I hardly know what to make of it, unless it is all “misdirection” of some sort.

We will see if he's a true Indonesian from a Asian culture because Asians do not take kindly to losing face.

One of the ships in this story is the Petr Velikiy (a Kirov) missile cruiser is the “large anti-submarine ship” from the Northern Fleet. Technically she is an all around combatant capable of dealing with nearly every threat.

One likely scenario. Our warships launch Tomahawks at Syrian targets. Russian warships closer to Syria launch interceptor missiles to try to shoot them down. Our warships see these Russian missile launches and think they are being attacked. They launch missiles at the Russian warships. The Russian warships see the inbound missiles and launch their missiles at the American warships. World War Three ensues.

Didn't we knock down an Iranian passenger jet in similar circumstances some years back?
