Winged PR above Syria

You have to be a masochist-samobitan to get into a fight with the United States

Since September 2015, only Russian cruise missiles (KR) “Caliber” of various modifications and the latest expensive “X-101” with a range of more than 5,000 km flew over Syria. There was no military meaning in these launches: the fighters of the Syrian opposition and militants of any terrorist organizations have no radars, military aviation and air defense systems that need to be broken or deceive with the help of the Kyrgyz Republic. Now the Americans have hit the Americans BGM-109 Tomahawk, which looks more meaningful: the latest Russian fighters, radars and anti-aircraft missile systems (air defense systems) are deployed in Syria, and Russian specialists shockly modernized and strengthened the Air Force system of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA). As a result, the Russian Kyrgyz Republic was striking in the old Toyota militants or it is generally incomprehensible that some conditional goals of the “terrorists”, and the Americans defeated the main operational air base of Saa Shayrat, which was also used by the Russian military. At the same time, the Pentagon mockingly informed the Russian side in advance about the future raid on the channels of the exchange of operational information: they say, do not sleep, get ready for a night blow. Nevertheless, 59 kr Tomahawk passed like a hot knife through the oil, through the Russian-Syrian air defense.

The Pentagon tried very hard not to hurt a single military man in any way in order to avoid unnecessary complications, and this was brilliantly succeeded, but the Russian prestige and pride turned out to be in sight of the world community, and our Foreign Ministry from the Ministry of Defense undertook to fight back, as they could and how it would turn out.

On April 3rd, controlled by the opposition of the town of Khan-Sheikhun in the province of Idlib was covered with a cloud of poisonous substance (os), presumably Zarina. More than 80 people died, including children and women. The Foreign Ministry (Maria Zakharova) answered decisively: there was nothing, they say, this was - the “provocation and staged video material” of the malicious Syrian humanitarian volunteers “white helmets”. But the PR Genoral of the Ministry of Defense Igor Konashenkov suddenly admitted that the SAA really struck the Khan-Sheikhun, and the gas attack was, but this is the result of the bombing of a certain “warehouse of ammunition of the militants”, which were either stored there or made homemade chemical weapons. Director Konashenkov somehow did not take into account the fact that the inhabitants of Khan-Sheikhun was covered by an aerosol cloud of OV, that it was a cloud that someone was supposed to spray using special factory ammunition or aviation equipment. Such a cloud cannot form as a result of an explosion/fire in the "warehouse of ammunition." Fire destroys the unstable sarin.

Konashenkova’s version became the official position of the Russian Federation, although it de Facto recognized the use of the Syrian regime. Russian diplomats and PR managers fought back as best they could, but the position was obviously lost. Damascus's regime has already used Zarin against his own population during the civil war. In 2013, according to the Russian-American agreement, the reserves of the Syrian OM were taken out and destroyed along with delivery funds, but it seems that some stagnant of both remained. President Donald Trump, obviously, heard a wonderful PR capacity to act as a strong leader, agreeing to the proposal of his generals to deliver a missile blow to the Shayrat base, from where a chemical air jacket was allegedly inflicted. The destroyers of USS Porter and USS Ross demonstrated excellent rate of fire and combat power, launching Tomahawk in 14 minutes for targets in Syria. Our Navy, in order to launch a couple of dozen “caliber-nn”, had to collect a whole flotilla.

In terms of combat power and efficiency, one American destroyer (in the USA there are now 63 pcs. And 22 more cruisers) compare with the entire Black Sea Fleet, and this unpleasant detail spoils the PR cartin of the world, carefully drawn by Russian military-patriotic PR works. Konashenkov bravely replied that, they say, the American blow to the Shayrat base was “ineffective”, because “according to Russian objective control means, only 23 missiles were reached to the Syrian air base,” and the remaining 36 kr shared where. And again, a straight-out PR general would be better to keep silent, since his words confirm that the latest Russian radars deployed in Syria are not able to control the flight, although modernized, but structurally old Tomahawk (has been produced for 40 years), which have no Stals elements, unlike the latest American Kyrgyz Republic. That is, the Tomahawk launch over the sea, when a solid fuel starting engine throws up the KR up, see, and when it flies, around the terrain over land, they begin to lose and get confused. In the Pentagon, by the way, they argue that all KR hit the target.

Konashenkov added that Russian air defense in Syria is “objective”, protecting the base in Khmeimim and in Tartus. And before everything else, there is no case, and in the Syrian air defense there are only araps who could not cope with anything. Indeed: to protect against the Kyrgyz Republic (even from old Tomahawk), an effective radius of defense S-400, S-300V4 and the “shell” in Khmeimim and in Tartus is good if 30 km. And in vain in the newspapers they draw radii of hundreds of kilometers, that as if Russian air defense “closed” all Syria. However, on the way to Shayrat, the Tomahawk flock successfully flew through the zone of responsibility of Russian air defense on the coast in Tartus. I had to urgently compose a version that Tomahawk was missed from some noble considerations to let the Americans more fully reveal their true aggressive essence and still introduce into considerable expense. In Moscow, the cost of a volley of Tomahawk estimates up to $ 300 million. But in truth, Tomahawk is five times cheaper than domestic Kyrgyz Republic, and they purchased the Tomahawk now launched for a relatively long time, when one thing cost $ 500 thousand (in 1999). Even taking into account inflation, the Tomahawk volley cost somewhere around $ 40-50 million-in general, once every 10 less than the total launches of Russian Kyrgyz Republic in Syria.

In general, Moscow lost its current PR campaign. During the summit in Florida, even the chairman of the PRC Xi Jinping said that he understands and justifies Trump’s actions, who was horrified by Syrian children strangled by. But, on the other hand, the Syrian Air Force was not finally defeated by him, and in Washington it was announced that it was a one -time action. Trump proved that he is a strong leader, and our VKS with Syrian allies can continue to bomb, if only without Zarina and others. Obviously, the annoyed Ministry of Defense announced that from April 8, he was closing a special hot line with the Pentagon and will not perform a memorandum about the prevention of random clashes in Syria. This, however, is again PR: the military-technical capabilities of the parties are disproportionate, and the gap is that it is necessary to really be a mahistan-samobitan in order to get into a fight with the United States.

A week, a Secretary of State (a long -standing acquaintance of Igor Sechin), the cavalier of the Order of Friendship of Rex Tillerson for negotiations in the Kremlin and the Foreign Ministry should come to Moscow. By the way, they may agree on something. Trump’s team and Putin’s team act in one PR field and similar methods. There is a basic basis for understanding and interaction. There is a basis for transactions.
