I think it was Iran, but either way you make a great point. They didn’t launch hundreds.

for four to miss their targets in 2015, isn’t that kind of bad.

i dont know i dont know much about military hardware. just sounds like a large number out of 21.

“some of which landed in Iraq instead of Syria?”

Maybe that was intentional?

Last I checked, ISIS stood for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

Might have been a targeting error, or in-flight malfunction, or even the U.S. or Israel testing an electronic countermeasures weapon.

I hope you're not under the impression every missile fired hits its target.

I remember (because I lived near Eglin, AFB) when we ended up with a Tomahawk landing in Alabama...

ISIS put pics online when one of our Tomahawks crashed last year.

For some reason that didn't make as much press.

Russians are going to use the opportunity we've fostered in Syria to test out new toys they've built. I'd expect 'teething' problems.

probably due to the usual hi level of Russian quality assurance, rather than targeting errors.
