Syria Shot Down 22 Israeli Missiles, Russian Military Claims

Syria’s air defense forces have shot down 22 missiles launched by Israeli warplanes during an airstrike against targets in Syria, the Russian military said Friday.

Rear Adm. Vadim Kulit, head of the Russian military’s Reconciliation Center in Syria, said six Israeli fighter jets targeted facilities in the provinces of Damascus and Homs from Lebanon’s airspace late Thursday.

Kulit said Syrian air defense units downed 22 of the 24 missiles launched by the Israeli warplanes with Russia-supplied air defense systems Pantsyr-S and Buk-M2.

There was no immediate reaction from Israel, which rarely comments on its military operations in Syria.

Kulit’s statement followed a report by the Syrian state news agency SANA that Syrian air defense units responded to an Israeli airstrike targeting the Damascus countryside and the central province of Homs. There were also no immediate reports of any casualties.

Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes inside Syria in the course of the country’s civil war.

    About time a couple of those zio pig cowards who hide in Lebanese air space were shot down! Pretty sure that any of the IOF pilots that happened to eject and land in Lebanon would be warmly welcomed!

      Using the same “justification” that Israel uses to attack inside other nations(attacking “enemy proxies”) Iran could attack Israel. Israel bombs anywhere anytime it pleases and the world yawns because Israel “has a right to self defense”. Who doesn’t? Someone cuts a fart in Iran and the world is all of a sudden on the brink of nuclear war. What hypocrisy!

      Where are the chinese ??
      Seriously, the chinese should have an airbase in lebiland and practice fighting the israeli planes
      The chinese airforce really needs combat practice.
      And israeli would make great practice targets.
      Come on China … Time to step it up.

        “typical inferior racist amerikan—more stupid than pygmys” Yuri.

        Isn’t that kind of racist?

      If the IDF were as bad ass as purported to be they would have already invaded Iran and Syria. No,,, they’ll leave that for their rottweiler pet, the USA.

          Don’t hold back Larry… tell us what you really think!

    Under the terms of the NPT, a non-signatory (Israel) attacking a signatory (Syria) requires all other signatories to come to the aid of the signatory. Time to remind a shitty little country that it could be turned into a glass parking lot.

    Every attack provides Russia-China with more data on how to protect themselves and allies from the US-NATO war machine.
    And they use a $100,000 anti-missile to shoot down a $600,000 US Missile.
    They are just worried about how to stop balloons with burning rags attached.

    1. Raptar Driver says

      How much the missiles cost is irrelevant. The American criminal empire can print unlimited money that is subsidized by the rest of the world.

    2. yuri says

      exactly—as USA suicides into debt and moral depravity they will no longer be able to fund Israel—and Golan will return to Syria

  6. NGg says

    Zionist mafia runs the show

  7. Raptar Driver says

    What do they care if they lost any missiles?
    My criminal idiotic government will just supply with more free missiles.
    Start taking out the aircraft, that might make a dent?

    As long as the U$ continues to provide missiles, and as long as Israel can launch from Lebanon this will continue. At some time Russia will be forced to say, “No more,” but I’m not holding my breath.

    Gevalt ! Gevalt !! Gevalt !! An Anti-semitic pogrom again on our innocent people…

    It would save a lot of MONEY, Lives and Stress if Syria would simply take out the Planes carrying the payload.

    The best part is, Israel would think twice before Bombing Syria again.

    Gosh,Golly Gee Wiz,WHY didn’t I think of that ?

  12. irish says

    shoot down the planes,then aim for tel aviv.

  13. edwardi says

    I am looking for information on what did the 2 missiles that got through into Syria hit and what that damage looks like. Syria must put that stuff up somewhere, as evidence of the crime.

    Look up S-400 missile system on your favorite search page…

    The S-400 Triumf, previously known as the S-300PMU-3, is an anti-aircraft weapon system developed in the 1990s by Russia’s Almaz Central Design Bureau as an upgrade of the S-300 family.

    So when this is deployed and turned on THEY OWN THE SKY…
