By now, there should be so many israeli pilots shot down over Syria considering the astonishing Syrian kill ratio.
I suggest we all make a donation to the Israeli Pilot Widows foundations. Must be so many Israeli families crying over their loved ones now rotting away in a dark dinghy Syrian Torture camp by now.
Making a donation to our ally Israel in need that must be losing its pilots hand over fist is the least we can do. Only a few months earlier, these Israeli pilots were conducting exercises with the Cyprus National Guard so we should all be sad at their plight!
Paphitis, I don’t know what you’re on about and I ain’t got time to read all that but what’s important is that there were dozens of videos posted on the Internet taken by Syrian civilians LIVE who were all over the city using their smartphones.
So we’re not interested in doctored images that may get posted by the criminal Yanks/Brits one or two days later... it was pitch black and everyone could see in a dozen odd videos that absolutely NOTHING was landing or you'd be seeing explosions on the ground very clearly.

Elementary…
Yes and dozens of Israeli sorties over Damascus too, but the Israeli pilots seem to be OK yet the Syrians somehow knocked out 70 out of 103 Tomahawks.
By the way, I was really surprised how you posted a video supposedly depicting a Syrian Air Defence Missile shooting down a Tomahawk.
I would have thought that the Cyprus national Guard knew what a Tomahawk is and what it is capable of doing and the altitudes it cruises at, at subsonic speed in the shadow of the terrain.
Don't they teach you about this stuff or not?
You can't escape the fact that not even a single Coalition aircraft or Israeli pilot was ever shot down over Syria and yet we are suppose to believe that somehow they are capable of taking out Tomahawks. Who are you kidding?
Explain the logic please! Where are all these downed aircraft and captured Pilots? In your fucken dreams is where they are.
A Tomahawk would be about 1000 times harder to take out than an F-16 is. Or any aircraft for that matter.
Please tell us all how it is possible to kill 3 quarters of all Tomahawks!
this is what a Cruise Missile attack looks like, from real Damascus smart phone footage fyi. It doesn't look like any of them were intercepted or destroyed either.

Last night France, the UK and the U.S. launched an illegal attack on Syria and bombed several military and civilian sites within the country. They justify their attack as revenge or punishment for an alleged 'chemical attack' that had taken place a week earlier.
The 'chemical incident' on April 7 in Douma was designed to reverse Trump's publicly announced decision to order the U.S. military out of Syria. The Saudi financed Salafi 'rebels' in Douma collected bodies, probably from another incident, and stacked them up in one apartment to stage a scene and to create fake videos of a 'chemcial attack' which they falsely attributed to the Syrian government.
Putin has said ........
“An act of aggression against a sovereign state that is on the frontline in the fight against terrorism was committed without a mandate from the UN Security Council and in violation of the UN Charter and norms and principles of international law.”
The obvious U.S. disregard for any international law and for the international organizations like the UN, the OPCW and IAEA will have serious consequences. The U.S. can now surely forget about its desire for an disarmament agreement with North Korea. Russia, China and others will use the example of last night's strikes to disregard international law when it will suit them. There will be no more favors like holding back S-300 systems or adhering to U.S. sanctions against other countries.

Tomahawk’s are old junk from the 80s… pretty much everything the US/Britain have are old junk.
Putin is a fool for not wiping the floor with them both, because I honestly don’t believe they’ll be able to react for their technology and defensive capabilities are outdated garbage.
And this is what the real Syrian Air Defence looked like, and nothing had actually hit a Tomahawk from this video at least, with a lot of footage of Tomahawks finding their way to the target.
And listen to the screams of the people. Hear it because it would have been as terrifying as all hell. Look at all the explosions on the ground.
But anyway Einsteins, We are suppose to believe that Syria knocked out 70 out of 103. Mmmmmm OK! Oh look, is it a Tomoahawk or a flying pig.
They use to call the F-111 Flying pigs in the RAAF. They had the same terrain following Radar as Tomahawks, and believe me there is no S400 that could beat an F-111. Only in your dreams.
No S400 radar would even see an F-111 before they would hear the cluster bombs go boom! Sorry.

An F-16 is old junk, but the Syrians couldn't get even 1 Israeli F-16.
but they are not junk either only in your fantasy. F-16s are now 4th generation with all the upgrades to their avionics. An F-16 and an F-15 today is not the same as those of the 80s.
Same with a Tomahawk. A Tomahawk is something the Syrians are unable to defeat. And you know it too.
The F-18 was introduced to the RAAF in the late 80s. But the F-18F Super Hornets are new planes being replaced by the F-35 whilst the F-18F becomes the new Strategic Strike Aircraft until it is replaced with F-22 as a continuation of the F-111 (affectionately known as Pigs)
You know, the F-111 first flew in 1967, but the damn thing was a great plane. One of the best Strategic Bombers on the planet.
Even the Hellenic Air Force's F-16 fleet is predominately Block 52+. They are quite up to date, with the most advance F-16 being the Block 60s which only came out 5 or so years ago and is what the Israelis have.

AKROTIRI, Cyprus (Reuters) - Cyprus distanced itself on Saturday from Britain’s air strikes on Syrian targets, saying it had no prior briefing or involvement in the action launched from a British sovereign air base on the Mediterranean island.
Four Royal Air Force Tornado jets from the Akrotiri base in Cyprus fired Storm Shadow missiles at a military facility near Homs where it was assessed that Syria had stockpiled chemicals, Britain’s Ministry of Defense said.
“Cyprus did not have any participation in this operation and conditions of full security exist in our country,” Cypriot government spokesman Prodromos Prodromou said in a statement.
“The Authorities of the Republic of Cyprus have been monitoring the situation from the first moment, however, Cyprus did not receive any prior briefing,” he said.
Neither the airspace of Cyprus, or its flight information region - a huge swathe of eastern Mediterranean airspace - was used, he said.
Btw, Cyprus has no say at all what the RAF uses its base for. Why even apologize then?
And of course Cyprus received no briefing. All other allies however did. Australian Government was briefed as was New Zealand and Germany among others. probably Turkey was briefed too along with all other NATO allies, including Greece's Tsipras Government which the Americans trust more.
All allies knew it was going to happen. And when Trump said "it may or may not occur," I took that as an indication because Trump fucked up when he tweeted that the missiles were on their way. I bet he got put in his place over that stupidity too.
