Night and day over the Stark. The Stark wouldn't last five minutes in today's threat environment.

I would think they learned a lesson from that incident. Major innovations to follow.

This could be true. Putin just announced that Russia is delaying delivery of S-300s to Syria. I believe they already have some. Maybe Putin doesn't want to be blamed.

if they do have the surface to air equipment provided by Russia, they probably can down the F-22 if they were really trying...

I doubt the Russian stuff could down anything built in the last 20 years in the US. This sounds like a load of BS to me. Top of the line Russian stuff doesn't seem to work to well against top of the line NATO stuff in any conflict in the last 30 years.

Why do you doubt it? The Russian military has been modernizing ever since Putin became President the first time. We are not talking about the old Soviet Union. The United States military hasn't faced much of modern Russian equipment. The Russians don't sell their best stuff to other countries except maybe Syria. They haven't sold the S-400 system to anyone, but there was a rumor that they may have been willing to sell it to Syria because of American threats.

Once the Robonorosexport Denied Assad Interview saying he Received First batch of S 300 ..

Then Now Putin says delaying S 300

so as of now No S300 is operational in Syria

No possible fire of Tomahawks from US ships

Yesterday Russian radars detects two ballistic missiles fired from Mediterranean

So why not they detected the Tomahawk missiles

I hardly doubt that there is going to be a attack on Syra on Thursday. Obama is traveling to Sweeden today.

The Russians have been modernizing but have huge production issues. The Americans haven't exactly been sitting on their hands either. It's not like they said "Well, we've only gone against older systems, so we don't have to make a really good top of the line system."

Tomahawks hug the ground. They are designed not to be detected by long range radar. Ballistic missiles arc high into the atmosphere, easily detectable. It's physics.

Supposedly the Iranians have a domestic copycat version of the S300. So if the Russians are going to stop delivering missiles, the Iranians may be able to supply some. These may be the actual missiles that may have been used and the ones that were targeted by the Israelis. This incident was supposed to have taken place around the first of the month? Bin Ladin take down first of May. What's with this President and the first of the month? October 1st?

Tomahawks? I suppose Russian fleet in the Mediterranean consisting of around 10 warships by now is not just sunbathing. Matter of factly they may easily relay all the mosquito moves in the region to the appropriate Syrian authorities. That's what they are doing now. If need be they can also intercept targets flying against UN legal orders. Why in the hell they can't? They are equipped well to show miracles Copperfield can't imagine.

If you're talking about the Israeli missile test, where else would they? It was a flight test of a new target simulator, which means they were deliberately crashed at the end of the test. There is no one under the flight path in the Med, which means if they failed during flight, no one was in danger of them crashing onto their heads. It's the safest way to test a new simulator.

Look friend,

I was asking about the beakers in the animation...are they beakers or not, and if they are, why?

nevermind

goose chases end up where they begin

If you want to stop the US or other western forces you need to contest command of the skies with your own aircraft backed by ground to air defenses or else your defenses just become targets.

If Russia were really serious they would send a substantial number of their own Su-27 with Russian pilots.
And attack submarines. So far they aren't.
