| Russian cruise missile strikes fired without advanced notice: U.S. |
| 2015-10-09 |
| [ARA] Russia fired cruise missiles at Syrian targets this week without giving any advanced notice, U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said on Thursday, describing a trend of unpredictable military action that has put the United States and its allies on edge. "We've seen increasingly unprofessional behavior from Russian forces. They violated Turkish airspace ... They shot cruise missiles from the Caspian sea without warning," Carter said after NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... defense talks in Brussels. Moscow said on Wednesday its warships fired a barrage of missiles at Syrian targets from the Caspian Sea, passing a distance of almost 1,500 km (900 miles) over Iran and Iraq to reach their targets. |

| #5 Detecting multiple thermal launch blooms from space of subsonic missiles should be notice enough. |

| #1 Surprise is kinda sorta the whole point of a cruise missile strike. The Pentagon is too used to seeing their secrets published in the NY Slimes. |
