Photos of the missile strike launched by the US, the UK, and France on targets in Syria on Friday night appear to show the Syrian defenses firing blindly in a wild and most likely failed attempt to intercept the missiles.

Russian top brass reveals 'true targets' of US-led strikes against Syria
MOSCOW, April 16. /TASS/.The US and its allies sought to hit Syrian military targets, including airfields, during their missile strike, Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Major-General Igor Konashenkov said on Monday.
"The true targets of the strike delivered by the US, the UK and France on April 14 were both facilities in Barzeh and Jaramani and Syrian military facilities, including airfields," he said.
According to Konashenkov, a photo of a facility located in the Barzeh area shows that "the destruction caused by the missile strike does not correspond to the scale of destruction from the use of three dozen cruise missiles."
"Moreover, the survey of this and other facilities revealed neither this number of ammunition fragments nor the corresponding number of craters," he added.
A mere thirty missiles would be more than enough for destroying the facilities the Air Forces of the US, UK and France chose as targets for last Saturday’s missile strike, Konashenkov added.
"One can see perfectly well from the satellite photos circulated by the Western media these are ordinary buildings on the surface," he said.
"I’d like to recall that the Tomahawk missile warhead is equivalent of 500 kg of the TNT depending on its type."
"That’s why, whatever the method of computation, a mere 10 missiles would be enough to destroy each of the three facilities even with account of a three-fold margin," Gen Konashenkov pointed out.
Syria's air defense
As many as 112 surface-to-air missiles, including 25 Pansir missiles, were used by Syria’s air defense forces to repel the strike delivered by the United States, France and the United Kingdom, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman said.
"A total of 112 surface-to-air guided missiles were used to repel the strike," he said, adding that 23 out .......

"A total of 112 surface-to-air guided missiles were used to repel the strike," he said, adding that 23 out of 25 missiles fired from the Pansir-S1 system had hit their targets.
"Twenty-nine missile were fired from the Buk system, with 24 of them hitting targets. Eleven missiles were fire from the Osa system.
Five of them hit the targets.
Thirteen missiles were fired from the S-125 system, five hit the targets.
Five missiles were fired from the Strela-10 system, three hit the targets, Twenty-one missiles were fired from the Kvadrat system, eleven hit the targets.
Eight missiles were fired from the S-200 systems, none hit the targets," he said, adding that such poor performance of the S-200 system could be explained by the fact that it was meant to hit aircraft.
Moreover, in his words, a missile fire from this system hit a fighter jet of one of the neighboring countries not long ago.
According to the ministry spokesman, facilities protected by air defense systems suffered practically no damages. "All of the four missiles fired at the Dumayr aerodrome were shot down; 18 missiles were fired at the Blei airfield, all were shot down; 12 missiles were fired at the Shairat aerodrome, all were shot down; two missiles were fired at the T-4 aerodrome, all were shot down; five of the nine missiles fired at the Mezze airfield were shot down; 13 out of the 16 missiles fired at the Homs aerodrome were shot down," he said.
However only five out of the 30 missiles and guided air bombs fired at research facilities at Barze and Djaramani were shot down by Syrian air defense systems.
On April 14, the United States, France and the United Kingdom delivered a massive strike on Syrian targets in bypassing of the United Nations Security Council.
According to the Russian defense ministry, the missile strike was in the small hours on Saturday.
The ministry reported that a total of 103 cruise and air-to-surface missiles had been fired, 71 of them were shot down by

The ministry reported that a total of 103 cruise and air-to-surface missiles had been fired, 71 of them were shot down by Syria’s air defense units. Three civilians were wounded.
Neither of the missiles appeared in the zone of responsibility of Russian air defense systems in Tartus and Hmeymim. Russian missile defense systems were not used.

None of the SAM launches were shown to be at low altitude.
They were shooting at air launched decoys. Look up ADM-160.

Install S-300 in Damascus and tell the Americans try again and watch as all their missiles get shown live on the internet. Also give some Bastion-Ps to the Syrian and watch USS Donald Cook sinking live on the internet too.

That's some next level gaslighting here, I distinctly remember all of the msm reporting strikes on airports
Dylan Garcia
We are in the fog of war anons, don't get to much stuck on the small details. Step back and ask yourself what the bigger picture is, I mean what does the amount of rockets and whether they were intercepted or not matter? We're getting bombarded with information to confuse, distract and waste our time on the stupid details.
Like first and foremost: DO WE KNOW IF THERE WAS A CHEMICAL ATTACK?
FACT: We don't know. We don't have any independent inspection into the attacks, and we have the people of America, Britain and France acting as a herd of sheep. Instead of speaking up to government and demanding investigation we have this back and forth of propaganda coming from everywhere, keeping us glued to our screens.
Why don't we have an operation going like IOTBW to wake people up and demand responsibility from the government?

This is just a live systems test between cooperating powers in a cooperative proxy testbed site with a punitive strike as the cover. We're getting ready for something bigger.

Trump is planning a "fake war" with Russia and will let them nuke LA, SD, NY and DC and call a cease fire after eliminating most minorities, Jews, media, and the deep state so white people can take back America. You're welcome.

And yet both facilities and air bases were leveled. Successful defense, Syrians!

They were bombed. They moved all of their Syrian planes to other bases though, so the fields themselves are empty.
