Looks pretty impressive for a military who's soldiers have no socks...It would appear that the ol' Bear still has some teeth.

Good chance for us to grab some intel on their systems.
That said, I'm headed to Costco for some more rice and beans. |

Seriously, this situation is buggered beyond belief. I'd like to say that Putin has outmaneuvered Obama, but Putin didn't really have to maneuver at all. Obama navigates foreign politics like a blind, drunken, palsy victim with his shoes tied together. |

 Russia's decision to attack what it claims to be IS targets in Syria with cruise missiles fired from warships in the Caspian Sea represents a new twist to Moscow's growing involvement in the crisis. It is not clear yet why these particular weapons were chosen in preference to air strikes - but the missiles would have had to fly a considerable distance over Iraq and then Iran to reach Syria. Sea-launched cruise missiles have long been a favourite US weapon of choice in interventions overseas, so there may be an element of Russia demonstrating that it has the full military panoply of any other "superpower". |

The internet link says there are 6 ships (corvettes) in the Caspian sea with VLS. The ground attack missile is a 3M-54 Klub (3M-14T variant) link with inertial guidance. Which means it might have hit kinda close to what they wanted to hit.

Yeah, my math was bad when I wrote that , however... the Russians said 4 ships fired 26 missiles. Which means they lied or another ship somewhere has VLS.

Looking around, it seems that Dagestan has VLS capable of accommodating 8 3K14s, but I was under the impression that the only variant in service was an anti-ship version, and that the land attack version wasn't in service. Perhaps I be wrong. Dport could probably correct me here, but alas, he is gone. |

Russia has done in a few days what the US failed to accomplish over the course of years.
The strategic implication is that the only backing for the Fed Res Note as the World's Reserve Currency, the US Military, is ineffective. Thank you Dear Leader. |

However these 2 guys take out 2 tanks in the column.
