In reply to your usual posturing and display of ignorance, conceit and bravado ........ I think I will wait and see what happens. I really do hope that the US/coalition doesn't think like you otherwise there will be a lot of tears. I know you are of the rash opinion that your coalition is invincible but, just take a few minutes to ponder the far better informed opinion in the following :
Russia Has Called the War Party's Bluff - By Pepe Escobar
The Admiral Kuznetsov is fully equipped with anti-ship, air defense, artillery and anti-submarine warfare systems – and can defend itself against a vast array of threats, unlike NATO vessels.
To top it off, as this comprehensive military analysis makes clear,
Russia has “basically made their own no-fly zone over Syria”; and a US no-fly zone, viscerally promoted by Hillary Clinton, “is now impossible to achieve.” Well-informed Western analysts know that
Moscow never brags about military buildups – and has mastered to a fault the element of surprise. Much more than calling a bluff, it’s Moscow’s Sun Tzu tactics that are really rattling loudmouth Washington. (
Loudmouth Australians as well :roll: )

Then consider ......... this hypothesis:
Hmmmmm ......In April 2010, it was announced that by the end of 2012 the Kuznetsov would enter Severodvinsk Sevmash shipyard for a major refit and modernisation (
which it did) , reportedly to include
upgrades to obsolete electronics and sensor equipment, installation of a new anti-aircraft system .........
If they can alter GPs signals around the Kremlin and if such a system is fitted to the Kuznetsov and/or others of the flotilla ...... it will make
ALL your cruise missiles obsolete and the flotilla virtually impregnable to attack. Cruise missiles use GPS to navigate, in case you didn't know !
If they then decide to use an Iskander short range ballistic missile ........ although I doubt they will:
The weapon would allow Russian forces to strike deep into Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon and Israel with virtual impunity—though Tel Aviv has been actively working with Moscow to de-conflict their forces. (
and any hostile battle group within range) The 9K720 Iskander-M—known in NATO parlance as the SS-26 Stone—is a potent short-range ballistic missile.
I suggest you show a little more humility .......... you could lose the Syrian conflict to Assad and Russia and all end up in the dock in Den Haag charged with war crimes by the ICC !
