#9  I wonder what kind of warranty the Rooskies give on these systems? Rooskie WO in your MiG or Sukhoi? Pilot if you bought the silver, entire flight crew if gold?

#8  thx, Big Ed, Mullah Well-Done, even Smoking™?

no word that the Syrian electronics were baked, IIUC, but "blacked out", which has to spin turbans even more than an explicable EMP blast. You can bet the (operable) phone lines to Moscow were burning up, though....heh

#5  Interesting. But I doubt Iran will implode from within in 60-90 days. 2-3 years of serious help from us for the unrest to grow into a full revolution, maybe.
We will see. The Iranians still have a lot more teeth than Syria if we do hit them because of their closeness to the gulf and the ability to seriously disrupt oil traffic. So hopefully that is part of military plans.

#4  I assume the main reason Israel needed the Americans to sign off on the raid - to convince the Americans it was absolutely necessary to take out this target - was that the raid would reveal Syrian, and by extension Iranian, air defenses were effectively non-existent.

#3  What this article doesn't mention is that sending commandos that far downrange and retrieving them is a major accomplishment in itself.

#2  What's Russia's turn-around time for fixing a field failure like this? The window size is important.

#1  The mullahs are freaking out in fear.

Good friggin deal. Let em stew in their own juices. You make the bed you lie in--now enjoy. Terrorist-sponsoring pig brained meatheads.
