Celebrating mediocrity :
On the 20th of August 1998, America fired about 75 tomahawk missiles simultaneously at two separate target in Afghanista and Sudan which was in retaliation against the bombing of US embassies. I just wonder what's so special about SLCM missiles - well kudos to Russia for hitting those terrorists hard.

Daesh says that the Russian Kalibr cruise missiles were not that effective because only 32 of the 33 terrorists hit were evaporated on impact. The last one only lost his left arm and righ leg. That is all. Other than that, they thank Allah for his protection.

Bro, I am surprised at your statement. The fact that America used SLCMs in 1998, equally means Russia should have used them too to project parity in power right? In 1998, which war was Russia involved in? Or should a country just launch cruise missiles for just no reason? A lot of these weaponry have previously existed in Russia's arsenal, but they had no use because Russia didn't have any external wars to fight. Pls stop this Russia/America comparison, both are superpowers in their own respective rights.

Mr Shoigu also said that Russia had informed the US and Israel in advance about the missile strikes.

That's a warning to NATO,.Russia will see this war to the finish..300 air sorties between saturday and today, hiting over 600 targets..currently,the ASSAD govt has taken over the the de-facto capital of the rebels(HOMS)after reaching a cease fire with them..meanwhile,Turkey is seriously crying,their investment(The Turkmen) are being bathed left,right and centre with balistic missiles.http://www.ibtimes.com.au/russia-goes-ballistic-syria-turkey-issues-warning-1490498
Of all the external parties involved in the syrian war,only one happens to be achieving its Objectives,he's the leader of the country below,,.

Appleyard:
Since when does ''inform'' translate to ''taking permission''?

When Russia was to commence hostilities in Syria, it gave the US 1hr notice, which means, informing the US of its military intensions. It is standard practice done to avoid unintended consequencies/incidence. It is not ''seeking permission''.

ValerianSteel:
My point here is Russia wouldn't dear enter the Mediterranean on a high horse as RT would make us believe Russia has an invisible navy that can make mockery of any other Navy as they've been postulating when Russia sent it's naval fleet into the Caspian,nowhere in the news was it captured Russia informed or announced its intentions to other parties within the Caspian,hence the theory RT wants the world to believe,Almighty Russian navy is invisible.

You do Know Israel operates an underwater nuclear arsenal in the Mediterranean and would not risk a Russian sub going anywhere near it,Russia has to inform Israel else should the sub cruise anywhere near the silo,it would have been sunk by Israeli sub.Russia having knowledge of Israel's Mediterranean control won't risk loosing its sub to unprecedented aggression from Israel.

Clearly Russia wouldn't want a dispute in a territory far from its homeland hence the important announcement to Israel primarily and US,Israel's action is to allow the Russian sub's presence in the Med avoiding any anti-vessel confrontation with Israeli subs as well.

It is not necessarily seeking permission but making intentions known and avoiding confrontations in territorial waters Russia isn't party to.

Am sure my point is duely noted
