An Israeli spy satellite reportedly discovered advanced Russian mobile ballistic missiles stored in Syria.
Israel’s “Eros B” satellite has taken high-definition photos of Russian “Iskander” missiles being transported on trucks inside an army base in Latakia, western Syria, Israel’s Channel 2 reported.
Iskander missiles are among the most advanced in Russia’s possession, with a range of up to 500 kilometers and the capacity to deliver nuclear warheads within seven7 meters of a target.
The satellite pictures of the Iskander missiles would be the first proof that Russia has transferred such advanced weapons to Syria.
>For now...we’ll see if they take them home with them, or if they ever leave for that matter.
They’re going to leave them to prevent an outside invasion of Syria. Despite now winning the civil the Syrian army is going to be in no condition to fight anyone for a long time.
Great point FRiend
If they leave them, they might as well blow them up before they go. That will save the IAF the trouble.
Most people will confuse “nuclear capable” with “nuclear armed” and not realize that Russia, like the USA with our cruise missiles, has lots of dual-purpose armaments. Both sides have conventional weapons that have replaceable warheads.
For those who *want* to ramp up their adrenaline, they can see the above and pretend that WW3 is in play...when the more mundane reality is that the conventional air defenses being discussed (Iskander) are fairly boring.
Carry on.
By the way, it is not an air defense missile. And it is the same missile Putin deployed to Kaliningrad to intimidate Poland and the Baltic nations.

Yeah because Russia is totally going to attack Israel./s
Do you really believe what you are writing?
This is the very definition of alarmist hysteria.
Nope, won’t be WW3, Hillary lost. Sorry.
I don't know, Solidworm, why Israel is so uptight. Maybe they're aware that Russia has sold many arms to its ally Iran that Iran then gives to Hezzbolah. Maybe they know that this is a particularly dangerous weapon, and they know it was the weapon of choice Putin moved to intimidate Lithuania and Poland. Or maybe they're all unaware of what a swell dude Putin and his flabby boobs is.
I’m sure you’re right. Putin probably will not challenge President Trump. He’ll stop pursuing what he perceives to be his interest because he’s fond of Mr. Trump.
That is, I never wrote that Putin will attack Israel. And you do know that I didn’t write that.
More like his interests and our interests don’t overlap, so he’ll keep his piece of the Ukraine and (thanks to Hillary) keep his access and bases in Syria. Neither of which were any of our business.
...and when we need to clean some messes in our hemisphere, he’ll let us take care of them.
Can’t see a problem with that.
You implied as much.
Israel is not the target of Russian missiles... so no reason to be “uptight” or concerned for them. Certainly the Israelis are paranoid about anything going on around them. However entirely transparent that you are trying to use the kneejerk pro-Israel attitudes prevalent here to rile up against Russia.
You also seem to be rather obsessed with flabby man boobs.
Sick... but as the saying goes: never judge a fetish.
worm, your fetish is your fetish.
