"Photos of the Syria strike appear to show missile interceptors firing blindly, totally failing to stop missile attack"
Photos of the US, UK, and France's missile strike on suspected Syrian chemical weapons sites appear to show Syrian defenses firing blindly and wildly missing.
An expert told Business Insider that it doesn't look like the Syrian missile interceptors flew in the way they'd have to to intercept the US and its allies' cruise missiles.
Syria says it knocked down 71 of the 105 missiles fired, but the US says all missiles hit their targets. Satellite photos appear to show that the missiles hit.
Photos of the US, UK, and France's missile strike on suspected Syrian chemical weapons sites on Friday night appear to show the Syrian defenses firing blindly in a wild, likely failed attempt to intercept missiles. ...
Before the strike, Russia had threatened to shoot down US missiles heading for Syria and then attack the platforms that launched them.
A retired Russian Admiral elaborated on that threat, saying specifically that Russia would sink the USS Donald Cook with a torpedo if it fired on Syria.
Despite being in the area, the USS Donald Cook didn't fire a shot, and possibly served as a distraction while cruise missiles poured in from ships, submarines, and jets in an attack that the Pentagon says succeeded completely, in that all missiles hit.
