4 Russian Cruise Missiles Intended For Syrian Targets Crash In Iran by honeywealth75(m): 9:52pm On Oct 08, 2015
At least four cruise missiles fired from Russian navy ships in the Caspian Sea towards Syria Wednesday crashed in northwestern parts of Iranaccording to U.S. officials.
Regional press reports in northwestern Iran referred to the crash of “ unidentified flying objects.”
On Wednesday, Russia fired 26 cruise missiles at what it said were ISIStargets in Syria, assisting a ground offensive launched by the Syrian military in central western Syria.
U.S. officials said that it was unclear if the Russian missiles caused any damage or casualties as they crashed in Iranian territory.
A videoreleased by the Russian Defense Ministry of the missile launches also included an animation detailing the trajectory the missiles took flying over northwestern Iran and northern Iraqen route to their targets in Syria.
Little noticed regional press reports on Wednesday mentioned an “unidentified flying object”that had crashed near the town of Takab close to the border with Iraq. A report in Oyan News cited the governor of Takab describing the crash of a “drone” near the village of Qiz Qapan in the early morning hours.
Images posted by Oyan Newson Thursday in several structures in the village which matched initial descriptions provided by witnesses.
Wednesday’s launch marked the first use of Russian cruise missiles in combat.
A U.S. official told ABC News that their use in Syria was probably intended to demonstrate Russia’s military capabilities. The official noted that other weapons available to the Russian military already in Syria carried more firepower than that aboard the cruise missiles.

It's a common thing with cruise missiles. With a reliability factor of 0.68, it always has up to 40% chances of failure.

Make dem dey dribble themselves.
When dem finish, dem go show us their real intensions.
1) ISIS leader who was in US prison was RELEASED by US to Iraqi government (which US installed)
2) Similarly, Iraqi government RELEASED him
3) US government supplied "moderate rebels" in Syria against Asad.
4) For some miraculous reasons, many of those "moderate rebels" joined ISIS with the weapons given to them by US and now under a former US detainee.
5) ISIS used US weapons (see point 3 above) to get more weapons from Iraqi army because Iraqi army didn't put up a serious defense of their arsenal. Note that many if not all of the weapons captured by ISIS, were supplied by US.
6) Now Russia fires missiles at supposed ISIS location in Syria but ends up in FAARRR away Iran. Note that Iran and Syria doesn't even share any border
7) Question: Are all these mere coincidences? And also, how come in 2015 with all the advancements in military technology (Russian military for that matter) should a missile miss it target by that margin? Their is IRAQ between IRAN and SYRIA for God's sake. Even Nigerian missile would have come closer to target!!
Anyway, I am not going to start a conspiracy theory on this.

Russia denied the report, even if it's true at least they didn't take 30 minutes to ''mistakenly struck'' Doctors Without Borders hospital killing 22 staff and patients.
