Reports Say Russian Ships in Syrian Waters Delivered Advanced Anti-Aircraft Missile System and Technicians

The Russian warships that arrived in Syrian territorial waters in recent days were reportedly carrying technical advisors who will assist the Syrian government in setting up an array of the super-advanced S-300 missiles.
This is according to Syrian and Russian sources cited by the London-based Arabic Al Quds-Al Arabi which said that Moscow is seeing a Western attack on Syria as a “red line” which it will not tolerate in any way.
This comes as the United States is moving the USS George H. W. Bush aircraft carrier off the coast of Syria and the Arab League has reportedly drawn up a plan for a no-fly zone over Syria which would utilize American logistical support.
The report said that Russia is maintaining their support for the Assad government in Syria, despite constantly growing Western pressure and amongst the puppet leaders that make up the Arab League.
In addition to the S-300 missiles, the report states that Russia is also installing advanced radar systems in all of the critical Syrian industrial and military installations.
Arutz Sheva reports that the S-300 system is regarded as one of the most powerful anti-aircraft missiles systems available.
They also point out that the radar system is capable of tracking 100 targets simultaneously while engaging up to 12 separate targets.
Deployment of the S-300 takes a mere five minutes and have a long life span with no maintenance required.
The system will provide coverage of areas both north and south of Syria which would be able to detect troop or aircraft movements towards Syrian borders.
The long-rage surface-to-air missiles were developed by Russia in 1960s-1970s in order to protect industrial and military bases from aircraft attacks and cruise missiles.
This S-300 system will reportedly be used to “deflect a possible attack by NATO or the U.S. and EU,” although the possibility of an Arab League-sponsored attack is considerable if recent reports are to be believed.
This system can reportedly target much of Israel and the Turkish Incirlik military base which is utilized by NATO, which would likely be leveraged if a no-fly zone operation was conducted.
The report claims that Russia was planning to sell the S-300 system to Iran but backed down after American and Israeli pressure.
However, the report also claims that Iran paid for the system for Syria and Arutz Sheva alleges, “It is not known if some of the missiles have reached Iran as well,” although that statement should obviously be taken with a large grain of salt.
The stakes have been raised considerably as of late with the U.S. Embassy in Damascus urging all American citizens to “immediately” leave Syria and the Turkish ministry telling Turkish pilgrims to avoid traveling through Syria altogether.
Furthermore, the French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said that “humanitarian corridors or humanitarian zones” could be established in order to protect those supposedly under attack, according to the Financial Times.
Juppe said that the issue would be further discussed by Foreign Ministers of European Union member nations when they meet next month, although it appears that preparations for such an operation are already being made.
Juppe claimed that full scale military intervention was not on the table although his other statements indicate otherwise.
“In response to a demand from the Syrian national council, we will examine, notably with our EU partners, the possibility of launching humanitarian initiatives to alleviate the considerable suffering of the (Syrian) population,” Juppe said.
Of course, as we have seen in Libya, any “humanitarian initiatives” that establish “humanitarian corridors or humanitarian zones” indeed require a full scale military intervention that will undoubtedly leave countless civilians dead.
Even more importantly, any intervention whatsoever will spark the ire of the Russians and Iranians, likely causing a much larger conflict.
One might argue that this has been the plan all along, to first enter Syria under humanitarian pretenses which would, as I have previously covered, cause the Iranians to strike back and thus give justification to the Western nations that have been pushing for an attack on Iran.
If Iran attempts to help Assad defend himself against a foreign invasion, Israel would no longer need the smoking gun justification to launch an all-out assault on Iran and the United States would likely follow.
This is truly a hellish scenario, given that Russia would come to the side of Syria and Iran, likely drawing in China, which has been goaded recently by the United States in the South China Sea dispute.
I truly hope that all of this is a bunch of hype and that nothing will happen, as if this does unfold in the manner in which it is currently, the world will enter a new age of horrific war that will make previous world wars pale in comparison

This goes well beyond a coalition shooting fish in a barrell, and the complex of alliances resembles 1914. Major war is quite close, what with the ultimatums and deadlines on autotrigger.

Absolutely zero chance. Syria has been among the target list for decades.
WWIII is just around the corner. NATO, in the guise of “Syrian freedom fighters”, overthrow Assad and he is hung or shot, his family rounded up and executed. Assad retaliates before he dies by bombarding Israel with SCUDS tipped with chemo/bio weapons, 1000s of Israelis die. Israel retaliates by nuking Damascus utterly, fulfilling Isaiah 17:1, a prophecy never fulfilled but written 2600 years ago. Russia and China and Iran attack US forces in the ME, nuke cities INSIDE the USA, and attack Israel, with Russia, led by Putin, leading the pack. The war of Gog and Magog starts, fulfilling Ezekiel 38, 39; WWIII is in full swing, lasts about 91 days, 1/3 of humanity is killed, and Antichrist arises out of nowhere and negotiates a peace treaty with Israel. The Tribulation prophesized in Revelation begins. Read Revelation chapter 5 to the end and you get the whole picture. JESUS CHRIST, the Risen Savior, the real life historical YESHUA OF NAZARETH, makes His 2nd Coming to earth and destroys the Antichrist and all associated with him, then He judges all the nations and casts all unbelievers, dead or alive, into Hell to await the final Great White Throne Judgment.
Are YOU ready to face your Creator, the ALMIGHTY God YAHWEH ELOHIM? Be born again today and claim the free gift of eternal SPIRITUAL salvation TODAY. This physical life is just dust in the wind. Your soul WILL either go to heaven, or hell, when you die, and the chances of your dying physically soon GO UP ASTRONOMICALLY with each passing minute. Call on Jesus Christ TODAY. John 3:3, John 14:6.
Amazing
And yet:
Revelation 9:20 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
The tiny minds of our world leaders have always resorted to war when their feeble attempts to create economic growth have failed. This is a historic negative feedback loop they live in because the western countries economy is based on WAR. Peace collapses the war vendors bottom line so they must keep turbulence going in order to keep their profits and subsidies going.
Precisely. The love and worship of money is the ROOT of all evil.
Remember, Stalin said, “The death of one person is a tragedy; the deaths of a million is a statistic.”

Your friend,

Neva, neva, neva surrendah!
supposedly under attack? it is not something we should send troops into harms way over but it is stupid to ignore the near civil war that is in Syria now.It can be expected though, Putin and Obama are losing popularity, a war is the answer for these idiots
Russia has become now the light of the world… The only power ready to defend weak nations from the attack of the greedy corrupt Western powers and their Zionist controllers. Now the greedy pack of shameless bandits grouped by NATO should think it twice before raping Syria like they have just raped Libya to steal its resources. China should join forces with Russia and defend Syria from the rapacious NATO vultures and the House of Rothschil that moves their strings.
it’s amazing that Obama has not been compared to bush policies on invading a foreign country! The Russians are right…Libya, for example, just traded one dictator for shariah rule which is another type of dictator…what if Occupy wallstreet began calling for Obama to step down for his giving the banks huge bonuses with taxpayer dollars…would Nato then step in and force Obama to step down??? How long will it be before Obama’s policies get us into WW3…Russia is now threatenning the same and I am sure China will step in
I, for one, am pleased with the presence of Russia. Sick and tired of hearing
about tyrants invading and over-throwing in-place governments for their own
rapacious indulgences. NATO be damned. The invaders have been going in and
raping sovereign countries without impunity. I guess the cannon fodder
troops are expendable and endless. The truth cleverly told is the biggest
lie of all.
