LOL! That's exactly how I picture Mattis with his 3 pictures of the Barzeh Research Facility. 103 missiles, 100% success!
Truly bagdad-bob level propaganda directly from the US government.
Reminds me of when the Chinese showcased their new air superiority fighter's capability by showing footage from Top Gun.
I think it is far, far more likely that the nation notorious for fabricating evidence for military strikes in the middle is is telling the lies, especially when they refuse to provide any evidence despite everyone knowing that if the strikes happened as they said they did, then they would have footage to prove it.
The US could dispel all of this by showing the footage we all know they have of this strike. Why aren't they providing ANY evidence? US has world's best surveillance and command and control, world's most advanced air force. They have footage of this strike... but for some reason they won't show it...
Russians are providing more evidence. Lots of pictures.
There are more photos if you look here

You don't find the interception of these cruise missiles interesting even on just a scientific basis? This is literally rocket science at work here!
It is amazing that soviet SAMs like the S125 are effective at intercepting low-altitude cruise missiles. The soviets truly were the greatest rocket scientists ever!
I just don't understand why my fellow americans, such as yourself, have such little scientific curiosity. You would gladly swallow the oozing spittle of a Trump supporter like Mattis than even gaze briefly upon the evidence at hand.
Man good catch on the countersinks. No way to explain that as damage originating externally.This image clearly shows shrapnel from inside out, hardly evidence of a shoot down. Note that counter sinks are always on the outside of skin so you can have flush fastener heads. Also the gray paint color is the outside paint color, the inside is usually green or white primer. This piece clearly looks like a properly spent missle:
Yes, those look like actual cruise missile parts, but there will be the debris from over 100 missiles laying around at the three targets, there is no evidence where this debris was actually collected.
It actually isn't rocket science, there is no rocket in cruise missiles, they use turbofan engines. Considering these missiles are 30 years old and aren't stealth and we've been able to shoot down Russian made missiles since 91, I'd be shocked if Russia couldn't shoot these down. The fact that all three targets were taken out, though, shows their defenses didn't actually work.
Gee, did your lame ass even bother to read what you linked to?, apparently not,The pentagon was very careful not to announce any of the targets before hand. So of course they hit "what they wanted to hit".... they announced what they wanted to hit after they hit it. lol.
Great circular logic to support your quintessentially british faith in American military supremacy.
Thanks. For how much practice Russians have with blatant propaganda, you'd think they'd be better at it.Man good catch on the countersinks. No way to explain that as damage originating externally.
I'm sure many Trumpists will believe this Russian News, after all, they seem to be very good at that.
Agreed. The Russians did not even shoot these missiles down. They stood by and let the Syrians take the hits and let them defend themselves. A pitiful performance by the Russians all around.
The only thing more pitiful and pathetic than the Russians is the US and its semi-retarded cruise missiles half of which weren't even shot down, they simply crashed. Probably because they were built by Trump supporters in factories all over America. What an embarrassment for our country, and one that was only exacerbated by Mattis blatantly lying on national television. Only an idiot would actually believe that "100% of 103 missiles hit their targets and Syrian air defenses fired in salute at a later time, blinded by muh tomahawk glory".
The Russian news may or may not be true, and you don't have to support Trump to believe it. Just that Trump supporters should be especially good at doing so.if thats the case, the OP is a flaming trump supporter.
Putin already has the stain of hundreds of Russians slaughtered trying to attack a refinery that housed US soldiers and he did nothing. He couldn’t do anything. It’s not sitting well back home.
Let's see:
We shot about a hundred missiles at three targets, and each missile had about 1,000 Lbs. of high explosives.
..and this is the result?
Where did the other 99 missiles go?
I seem to remember that we had people with technical expertise (assuming no shens) but I can't be absolutely sure I'm remembering correctly.

If so then "40" is a rather specific number...
Sure but only one of those were mentioned by our resident missile expert .To be fair, so are all numbers Except the weird-ass ones that mathematicians like to theorise about.
The tree had it coming, dammit!
I anxiously await whoever Trump & Co install as the new leader of Syria. I hope they do not forget to send refugee ballots to the men and women here in Europe and USA when they hold the election.
Your post reminds me of this Flash clip which was someone's prediction of how Iraq II would conclude.
