USS Porter and USS Ross can each carry 90 Tomahawk long-range, all-weather, subsonic cruise missiles. They're now on alert over Syria.

Iraq War 2.0 coming

i could only hope<333333

>>33556383
plan is for cruise missile attack tonight

pentagon reporters told not to go home, subway at pentagon to remain open 24 hours

>>33556195
>What will a cruise missile attack on Syria look like?
>look like

The answer is in your own post OP


>how would the S300 hold up against it?

That depends on where the missiles are heading. If it looks like they're heading for Damascus, the Russian bases, or any secured location well within SAA controlled territory, Russia might fire on them.

If they let the Russian MoD know that the missiles are heading for Raqqa or something IS held, then they'll just hit them with every radar they have just to get profile imagery on the cruise missiles.

Bump for interests

How much damage could it potentially so, and could Russian AA or whatever do anything?

>>33556259
what website is that?

>>33556195
So is it casus belli if Russia shot down one of the missiles?

>>33556195
its about to kick off in the sandbox boys...again

>>33556195
>What will a cruise missile attack on Syria look like?
Not good for Assad.
>how would the S300 hold up against it?
Most cruise-missiles fly NoE. Expect maybe 1 in 30 to be intercepted, tops.

>>33556432
>subway at pentagon to remain open 24 hours
GAME OVER GUYS THIS IS IT WW3 INCOMING FUCKING PANIC

>>33556762
No

However the warhawks in Congress would be REEEEEEE up a storm over it and CNN will blame hackers.

>>33556195
Wow it's not like nobody has launched cruise missiles into Syria before!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILch2QMFo8A

anyone have a source on all the rumors? I've been seeing a lot of 'SHIT'S GONNA HAPPEN TONIGHT' but i don't see anyone revealing or hinting at a source.

>>33556686
Not a lot. They simply don't have sufficient missiles in theatre to make a big difference. Further, >>33556782

Targets would be SAAF airfields and ordnance depots where any chemical weapons could be stored. At most the Russians would have S-300s stationed near the airfields but it would not be wise to hit the AA in case it's manned by Russian soldiers. A similar risk applies to hitting any barracks.
It wouldn't be an attempt to toppled/decapitate the Syrian Government like it was in Iraq or Libya, just to remove their ability to deploy attack aircraft.

It's dangerous though. I think the Presidents of the US, Russia, and Syria need to try to talk at first and establish what happened and ensure it doesn't happen again.
Directly targeting Syrians makes eventual peace that much harder. If talks fall through then launch cruise missiles at what's described above (And possibly expand target list depending on the situation)

Aroer (Hebrew: ערוער, עֲרֹעֵר) is a Biblical town on the north bank of the River Arnon to the east of the Dead Sea, in present-day Jordan. The town was an ancient Moabite settlement, and is mentioned in the Bible.

Look, as someone who voted against Trump and worries about his tendency to think of solutions militarily, I don't think we're any closer to war than we were yesterday. Trump is mercurial and wishy-washy. The only thing we could have pushing us toward war is the fact that Steve "Gas the (((Globalists)))" Bannon got demoted to bitch boy.

This is all going to boil down to whether or not he ate a bad burrito and if someone calls him a cuck on FOX News tonight.

>>33557066
Unless they have special storage sites for any chem stuff, they would be stored alongside conventional bombs.
Which would be on airfield grounds so if you're going for planes on the ground you may as well go for their weapons storage.

>>33557139
I don't think he will attack anything right now either. Just start forming plans to have ready if needed.
The best course of action at the moment is to monitor and start setting the basis for talks with Putin and Assad.
Making threats, empty promises, or resorting to military action just disrupts that process. Stay quiet until you're at a negotiating table.

>>33556195

USA will never risk war with Russia. Probably just PR stunt and show of strength. Assad with help from Putin will soon win this war and will then hopefully destroy with Iraqi Army the left over of ISIS, and if we are lucky the kurdish terrorists get exterminated a long the way, or is a kurdish government more preferable to Edrogan The Roach?

>>33558006
funny i am waiting to here about that, especially since it wouldn't be the s300, Russian S400 systems are around Assads palace and critical airfields. I am curious as to just how well they performed. Also do not forget the s300 launchers can still plug into a s400 command and control.

>>33556195
So what now? Is this some proxy war shit or full boots on the ground? At the least I feel like the UN will send in their army of cucked peacekeepers.

>>33558051
We have no idea what the end effects of the strike were yet. For all we know every Tomahawk bounced off their AT field.

Hopefully no Russian personnel got hit otherwise shit is going to be even harder to fix

>>33558064
PRobably never even saw it coming.

>>33558042
this is totally different. no investigators have even been to the location of the chemical attack so there is no definitive proof of who even carried out the attack or if it even was a real attack.

I wonder what US SF on the ground in Syria right now are doing.

>>33558111
getting ready for quds attacks

>>33558090
How does that change the fact that if Russia didn't respond to Turkey intentionally shooting down an Su-24 it will absolutely not respond to America if Russians were collateral damage.

OP here

the source was cernovich btw, he said on his stream they would launch cruise missiles tonight.

Fucking bizarre that he had a scoop on this.

>>33558111
Most likely conducting recon on locations for more strikes.

>>33558160
Whoever the dude that was posting in all caps and about the Subway at the Pentagon staying open 24HR had it right.

>>33558205
Maybe they were even close enough to watch these strikes. I'm sure it would make for a helluva show.

And if the Russians were warned, the SAA / AF would have moved anything important off the base before the cruise missiles got there.

An hours warning (a wild guess) isn't enough time for the SAA to move their shit to safety.

60 Tomahawks for one airbase?! Are they planning to write 'AMERICA' with craters? It's hard for me to imagine there's that much stuff left at impoverished Syrian airbase to warrant 60 cruise missiles.

>>33558651
wrong

they wanted to overwhelm any potential defenses with saturation

They didn't want the S300 to make a smaller strike into a propaganda disaster.

You are thinking from a military perspective when the strike was political.

They certainly left certain outlets open and warned Russia in advance, or at least the Russian forces on the ground were warned somehow.

Its more likely that they are fucking pissed at Assad, the fucking tard had his civil war won with the US committing to not ousting him. Instead he forces Trump's hand and very could end up dead.
Perhaps they wanted to teach him a lesson and didn't intercept the missiles.

he's burnt out on manpower and the only thing really keeping shit from hitting the fan are the Russians.

So the question, does this strike count as an official declaration of war against Assad's regime, or is jist supposed to be show of force/warning shot?

US can't "officially" declare war without an act of Congress

>>33560414
Meanwhile the US just bombed syria for something that had literally nothing to do with the USA, and they have no proof to back up their accusations.

But hey, Russia fighting back against US coups in neighboring countries is totally wrong..

>>33560436
>he doesn't think Assad is winning
ISIS loses more ground every hour, getting crushed in a triangle between his forces, the Kurds, and Iraqi forces, while NATO and Russian airstrikes smash them constantly. ISIS is on its way out. It is doomed.

>>33560495
I know that, but I was wondering how the international community, especially Russia and Syria, would see it.

>>33560495
Yes they can. "We declare war genocide"

The demise of ISIS will likely be the only good thing to result from the clusterfuck that is Syria.

>>33558689
0. In 2003, we fired over 800 Tomahawks into Iraq and only 2-6 of them were shot down by Iraqi defenses (mostly by flak in and around Baghdad).

But it doesn't matter since Assad's current stance is one of open skies, since he has no reason to antagonize any entities currently using his airspace, and resistance would be utterly futile anyways (as they learned the hard way in '82).

>>33560551
so you're saying we could operation linebacker them with impunity for a good bit of the foreseeable future?
spool up the B52s my dudes, time to remove arab

>>33560403
the base that was bombed had dispatched an aircraft with a2g munitions containing sarin gas.so the inference being made is that syrian chemical weapons on a syrian base in a syrian plane....blah blah...there must be chems there.

also, syria is not supposed to have chem weapons as of 2013. nonetheless they were dispatched from a syrian government installation. they goofed and fucked up on an international treaty on chemweaps that they were a part of.
its a shitshow

Dumb, as fullyclassified black projects exist in the US military.

>>33560403
It probably wasn't Assad that directly ordered it. Probably some commander in the area/airbase that ordered their use thinking it would kill tons of rebels or win him some kind of victory.
These missile strikes send Assad a warning to pull on his commanders' leashes and tell them that is not okay. Or if he did order the use of chem weapons it shows Assad he can't get away with that shit. Even Putin said Russia doesn't "unconditionally support them" which is code for 'We don't know why the fuck he did that'.

What's the average weight of a cruise missile/fighter pilot bomb? Asking for a friend

>>33560989
Dunno, according to wikipedia a Tomahawk cruise Missile payload is 1,000~ lbs.
So, we hit that airfield with about 59,000 pounds of explosive.

So they deliberately didn't target the supposed Sarin gas at the airbase
Only destroyed Assad's jets/runways, which he needs to fight against the terrorists

And then after doing this terrorist attack, Trump says he's fighting terrorism?
