So Syria has no functional air defense, cruise missiles just hit their valuable targets like that.

If America goes in on the ground, I have popcorn and DSTV

GreenandGold:


We would all love to... But with AWACS + EA-18G Growler + Tomahawks, those S400 batteries stand no chance.

For all we know, they could have been attacked last night.

ZIMBABWEAN DEFENCE ATTACHÉ BIDS FAREWELL TO CHIEF OF THE NAMIBIAN DEFENCE FORCE
The Zimbabwe Defence Force’s Defence Attaché Lt Col Masoka Mabhena bid farewell to Lt Gen John Mutwa, Chief of the Namibian Defence Force, on 30 March 2017 at the Defence Headquarters. Lt Col Mabhena will be succeeded by Lt Col Oscar Tshuma.It always makes me happy and proud and I presume my colleagues too are happy and proud to see how the Ministry of Defence and especially the Namibian Defence Force are doing on training.

the US ships are sitting ducks and will be gone in a second
Now that there's no agreement

Nok234:


S400 has been build for stufflike Growler and tomahawks and Russian have jammer huge jammers, they dont only have s400 for air defense

GreenandGold:


Wait? The most sophisticated, most defended Navy in the world is sitting ducks? From who? The Syrians? Are you kidding me?

frumentius:
Enough about Syria, Drumpf and the thuggish Vlad. Can I go back to tormenting Henry now?

Nok234:


I dont agree France is the GodFather of those countries you listed, if there is a problem and Nigeria is involved France will imediatly take the opposite side. We have example with the crisis with Cameroon, France is the country that build BIR of cameroun and imagine against who ? ... If someone slap you once, you must be careful.

Just30:
the Russians dummy
59 tomahawks for one airfield? Poor efficiency
And majority of the tomahawks did not set target

Henry240:


you know, i am your worst nightmare, the sum of all your fears.

frumentius:


Facts dear boy, facts. No amount of peacocking around in your emperor's new clothes will trump facts.

frumentius:


I've always thought this. Biya and Deby will most likely die in office. Does Nigeria have a plan for the inevitable fall-out from a disorderly succession?

GreenandGold:


Dude, 59 Tomahawks increases the effectiveness on the target and also the probability of surviving air defences. Do you think they'll fire only 1? It doesn't work like that.

As for Russia, they'll NEVER get directly involved. You know it.

Just30:
like the US can even dream of a direct conflict with Moscow
The US won't even attempt, cost they will pee in their pants once they hear the Russians are coming for them on Syria terf.

NAF took first position in the "technological aspect" of the recently concluded Science Expo, with a cash prize of 1million naira.
Apparently, NAF is not making attempt (atleast non that the officials are aware of) to produce a catapultable version of the drone cos that would be more costly and since mini hand-held drone can fill that gap, redundant.
Also, Gulma is not just off the counter kind of drone, it can give out coordinates in real time to aid artillery fire or other varieties of smart munition.

Vikkie14:

Ah! Wetin i do now? I don stir dem hornet nest ooo, i'm so so afraid now. Yeah! SSS and Nemesis are coming for me... How do i get outta this now? Oga please nah.
Rubbish. I believe that's how you want me to feel.

I SHALL BE WAITING for you and your goons. Kindly also inform your buddy in NIA and you might be needing the service of NASDRA as well.

Funny Guy.

frumentius:

Are you off to your underground doomsday bunker?
Don't rush there just yet. The strike was a once-off, the Russians were pre-warned and none of their assets targeted. Trump is just signalling to his domestic audience how tough he is.

Henry240:


That's great news. The Gulma turned out pretty well. impressive!

The issue of the hand launched version, is that also down to a lack funds? why is it redundant?

Its just another case of Trump playing 4th Dimensional Chess

- Russians were pre-warned (guess who the Russians would have called straight away)
- The strike didnt hit a major base or any other vital infrastructure.
- The damage from the missile strike is actually quite limited, with only ~29 of the 50+ missiles hitting actual targets
- Losses to the SAA are a whole 6 guys and unknown amounts of equipment
- even the runway only suffered minor damage

Effect:

- Destroys the Media + Democrat narrative that Trump has ties to Putin
- Shows that he is a tough guy ahead of the China meeting (ie: North Korea)
- Appeases the Neo-Conservatives in the Republican Party who have been sabotaging his efforts (John McCain)
- He looks good for being decisive while at the same time he makes Obama look weak (gotta piss on that legacy!)

As one analyst said:

"So how does a Master Persuader respond to a fake war crime?

He does it with a fake response, if he’s smart. "

TLDR; Its a big pile of nothing. US has launched over 14,000 air/artillery/missile strikes in Syria so far... none of them led to war either.

Henry240:


Which you constantly haven't shown, unfortunately.
