Oh #, I just heard that Russians dared to attack us around Tanf, targeting a 155mm artillery piece. I am going to have to do some digging, I was not online much at all yesterday. We intercepted some of the attack, but others got through causing damage.
Syrian air defenses have engaged missiles targeting the area of Latakia, a city in the coastal province that is the home of Russia’s Khmeimim Air Base. Seven people were reportedly injured in the attack.
According to the state SANA news agency, the attack targeted the Technical Industries Agency headquarters in Latakia, owned by the Syrian military. Reports from the area refer to “powerful explosions” heard in the city. According to Syrian military sources, the strikes also targeted a power station and an aluminum factory.
The attack began around 10 pm local time. Photos posted on social media show tracers and missile plumes streaking across the night sky above Latakia, as well as several explosions.

before it breaks out? SMH ... your a bit late to the party man. I forgive you though. the GEC does a good job at making sure everyone online only discusses the fabricated media drama that is Trump vs. Mueller.
A Russian military Il-20 aircraft with 14 service members on board went off the radars during an attack by four Israeli jets on Syria’s Latakia province, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
Air traffic controllers at the Khmeimim Air Base “lost contact” with the aircraft on Wednesday evening, during the attack of Israeli F-16 fighters on Latakia, said the MOD.
Those Russians just cannot seem to hold on to their planes over Syria. Maybe they are hanging out with MH370 ??? A French frigate also allegedly fired cruise missiles.

there is no going to war with Russia. We already have been, for many years now.
Lets see Steve's analysis.
A Russian military Il-20 aircraft with 14 service members on board went off the radars during an attack by four Israeli jets on Syria’s Latakia province, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
Russian radars also registered the launch of missiles from a French frigate in the Mediterranean on the evening of September 17.
