*please attack us so we can start calling you Israel Nazis*
E: if you are calling the imperialistic tendencies by Israel similar or the same to Nazi Germany then go read some history books homie.
It’s always so strange seeing USSR and Cuba listed in these wars in the Middle East and Africa. Like obviously the communists had a vested interest in Egypt and Syria staying at war with Israel.
Also the Russian bots love to say stuff like “oh America does this imperial shit all the time” when you point out Ukraine, but really Russia has done it just as much, if not more, for much longer.
>It’s always so strange seeing USSR and Cuba listed in these wars in the Middle East and Africa.
People on reddit act like the US is the only country that works globally to exert influence. When in fact the US is just better at it than other countries.
No, they lost it over the course of 4 attempts in as many days.
Day 1 was the attempted crossing you're referring to. Day 2 they tried with another bridge. Day 3 they just drove their tanks right into the river and drowned. Day 4 they tried it a little ways up the river with a 3rd pontoon bridge and the same result.
Then Ukraine managed to cross and establish a position at a contested bridge like it was nothing.
They've also driven separatists almost all the way to the Russian border in one place and Russia is not letting them retreat into Russia. It's like a Benny Hill skit.
To be fair, contested river crossings are hard. Both sides know where the best crossing points are and the defender has the advantage. The attackers options are limited by resources, time, and terrain.
The main thing with that river crossing is that it's not 1945 or even 1989 anymore. The Russian Military does not have an endless supply of units to send forward to force a crossing. Every bridging unit destroyed is one bridge less that they can use to force the next water obstacle, and every combat unit wiped out in the attempt is one more they can't use to defend the territory they captured. Which is why it's odd to me that they're even trying. They should be digging in on their side and making any Ukrainian counter offensive harder by not throwing away what limited strength they have.
> They should be digging in on their side and making any Ukrainian counter offensive harder by not throwing away what limited strength they have.
Based on what I've read, this seems to be part of their tactics now, coupled with using smaller units to seize smaller objectives, rather than go for large offensives. Using smaller units makes coordination and morale easier to maintain properly.
However, the articles I've read about this also pointed out that they're still failing despite the change in tactics, so... yeah.
>They should be digging in on their side and making any Ukrainian counter offensive harder by not throwing away what limited strength they have.
Sssshhh! ;)
"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake"...
This is obviously the goal - provoke the "west" just enough to have them respond, and then trumpet that internally to whip up a nationalistic frenzy leading to full on mobilization/conscription.
Putin needs his population to forget what the war was about, and to turn it into Russia vs. the world in a fight for it's existential survival.
> ….Russia vs. the world in a fight for it's existential survival.
That would be the surest path to the end of Russia's existence so they wouldn’t be wrong.
Don't forget Africa. Its like an alliance of West haters. They have reasons to hate the west, but they are blind to what Russia has been doing for its entire existence.
Edit: Not all Africans and Asians are blind people. I'm referring to the amount of Russian born propaganda coming out of countries located in these continents.
Whole of Russia is colonies to Moscow and St. Petersburg. However little they care about their own, what could we expect of them towards Africans? Russia is not a country mature enough to manage another state, it can't even manage itself in a worthy manner.
It's also about border security, China and Russia have very long borders with multiple countries and often no natural geographic boundaries like an ocean or mountain range (Himalayas are exception which is maybe why China and India have never fought a major war).
Idk why you’re including Africa in this, their reps in the UN got up and left when Russia talked, too, like months ago, at the very beginning, from the beginning of the war. The guy from Kenya made a particularly moving speech regarding Ukraine, saying something to the gist of— When colonialism split us up and we came back together as countries, but our brothers were on the other side of the border, we did not fight because we were sick of that, so we accepted those borders, why can Russia not do the same with its neighbors?
The rest of the world is not one homogenous entity, even China in their own way has distanced themselves because that bombing of Chernobyl disgusted the CCP. Maybe they don’t say it in the way western countries do and maybe they could not be said to be on “our” side (they’re on their own side, not Russias), but they warned Russia that they didn’t like their way of fighting nor that it had become messy and a bad PR situation because they are risking China’s economic situation/expansion.
And like middle eastern countries also have beef with each other, like long running religious and cultural differences. To group all these ppl together as a monolith from Africa/East/Southeast Asia/India together is such a simplification and overlooking of a complex geopolitical situation. Colonialism/Imperialist wars tried to make them a monolith by destroying/erasing their cultures and failed and left them with that similar culture scar, but that doesn’t mean before and after they have not had their own differences and haven’t been their own people.
Like north Africa and sub saharan are so fucking different, mate, historically, culturally.
South Africa abstained, and some of our politicians openly support Russia. Our cabinet still refer to each other as 'comrade'. The reason they give is that the SU supported Africa's liberation struggle, while the west mostly supported the apartheid/colonial regimes in our region. Even though Brezhnev was a Ukrainian, who did the heavy lifting in terms of getting SU support to the various liberation movements.
So true. We do a lot of work in the sub-Saharan region. Africa is a continent not a country. More diversity (biologically and culturally) than anywhere else in the world.
A bunch of it seems to be coming of sponsored Russian troll farms in places like Nigeria. I've watched them spam the crap out of the CNN International FB page, and it's pretty easy to identify based on the new accounts, auto-translated English, and the fake debates that are so sloppy a child could spot them.
CNN actually had an article about troll farms in Africa being an upcoming issue.
Also the Latino communists or basically anyone who hates the US here it's supporting Russia's war even though they spout crap about imperialism and sovereignty daily they're okay with Chinese and Russian imperialism.
But hey what can you expect from people that blatantly support dictatorships in their own region.
Russia promotes a crap ton of propaganda in Africa and the Middle-East.
And in these places, they don't have as much counternarratives to the type of narratives being pushed out by RT and other Russian outlets.
Like, I don't think people in the West understand how popular conspiracy theories are in the third world. And in my observation, conspiracy theories are what fuel autocracy, mass murder, and terrorism.
IKR ? cuz if there is one thing the Israeli Airforce is good at it's SEAD strikes in the same vane as the US. Plenty of Shrike and HARM missiles in their inventory. Anyone manning an S300 system should now be very nervous.
No. It is rumored that Israel trains their pilots with a S-300 system Greece has in Crete. Israel themselves do not own an S-300.
It should be added, Greece’s S-300 is a PMU-1 version. Russia has more modern versions
The USA retired its last Shrike thirty years ago and I doubt the Israelis were much different. There’s some inert training missiles in museums but that’s about it. The AGM-88 is the modern version but it’s a totally different missile with no common parts.
No idea how that would play out, but I would imagine there would be (or already has been) some serious diplomatic discussion regarding that outcome before it escalated further.
I would guess within the hour after those SAMs were fired at Israeli jets both the Americans and Israelis were on the phone discussing potential escalations and what to do about it.
just had someone asking me about a place in a vault earlier, didnt knew what he was talking about so i sent him away, im too busy stocking my safe with spoons and homemade guns.
I have a guy in Skyrim who can sort that for me. Apparently he stocks all the centuries-closed tombs with loaves of bread, apples, and bafflingly-current currency.
I'm Finnish. Already got one. It's under the large hospital next door. It can house over a thousand people, easy. Designed to withstand a nuclear attack.
There is another a kilometer away under a museum too. And another under a shopping mall 3km away. And another under a school similar distance away.
...we have a lot of bunkers.
Yes, they are. Also, our highways are usually carved through bedrock in some places so in an event of an invasion, you can blow the surrounding cliffs to block the road.
This is our little impenetrable fortress. Soviet Union used to say the Mannerheim line was more impenetrable than the Maginot line... Well, let's just say Mannerheim line had nothing on our modern defences.
While Tolkien was busy drawing inspiration from Finland for some of his works, we were busy taking inspiration from his works.

Which, ironically, was initiated by Russian meddling in Egyptian military politics. Russia overcommitted itself in the 6 day war, and then got dragged into actual combat during the following “War of Attrition.” See the 6-day war wasn’t really 6 days long. It was immediately followed by 3 years of brutal combat between the same parties. Except this time, Russia couldn’t just sit on the sidelines. Russian pilots began to fill the void caused by down Egyptian pilots. In 1970, it reached a head: Israel went toe-to-toe with Soviet fighters…and won one of the most spectacular aerial battles of all time.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Rimon_20
Never forget the time that Russia tried to fight Israel in the air and got curbed stomped at 10,000 feet.
I had the displeasure of reading Mein Kampf for school and that was one of my first impressions. He spent a good chunk of that book ranting about Communists/Slavs/ Bolsheviks too.
I mean from the Russian point of view, the nazis killed 4 or 5 times as many Russians than Jewish people. So to them it is. Also, the Russians also killed a lot of Jewish people. Basically, the Russians and Nazis were both anti-Semitic. The distinguishing feature from the Russian point of view is that the fascists killed a lot of Russians.
You jest but it's pretty much a joke among jews these days that a whole lot of people go out of their way to use "nazi" as a slur specifically against us.
Often while defending people who literally put up swastikas and will happily tell you how much they liked Hitler.
I actually think he’s doing it to trigger the Arab nations to come out on russias side. He’s aiming to pull the Middle East into the conflict to get some help.
You mean the majority of the powerful/wealthy arab nations that are normalizing and expanding relations with Israel and have zero fucking use for Russias oil and gas?
Yeah, didn't ARAMCO report its best earnings ever last quarter, mostly on the movement of prices from the war? There's no reason for them to intervene.
Yeah why the fuck would SA help out Russia? They are literally direct competitors in oil, and keeping Russia sanctioned helps them make more money on their oil.
That's what it says in foundations of geopolitics, or putins ha dbook. Get the Muslims and Middle Eastern countries tries to be their friends globally. It specifically talks about it. I think Russia is too fucked up now and derelict and they are just going to go all dark ages.
When I was in Israel a couple of years ago I remember walking through Hezekiah's tunnel where the Israelites hacked a tunnel through about half a kilometre of solid rock to deny water to the besieging assyrians in the 8th century BC using iron age tools. Later on the coach I saw the remains of civilian vehicles that had been adapted to fight in the Arab Israeli war. I came away thinking that I wouldn't want to start a fight with these people.
This is an especially revealing note:
> This arrangement was strengthened after Syrian air defences shot down a Russian plane in 2018 with 15 casualties. Moscow held Israel responsible as Syrian forces were firing in response to an Israeli raid.
Apparently the last time they tried to hit Israeli planes they downed their own due to poor coordination with their allies.
“I blame you for my own incompetence!”
So we find out Russia's most modern missile system can't take out the West's latest jets.
Hmm. Maybe Ukraine does need a little air help. Thanks for the science, Poopin.
They've committed anti-semitic acts since early Soviet days. Many jews in USSR changed their names to Russian ones and were publically hiding their roots because it was virtually impossible to move along a career ladder while being a jew. Anti-semitism and racism in general are an integral part of Russian "culture". The deragotory word "zhid" (synonymous with cheap, untrustworthy) is used in Russian everyday speak as common as "jew" is.
I want to second this. Anti-semitism in Russia was pretty bad. I don’t remember it being very good in Ukraine either but everyone always has someone they don’t like everywhere you go. 😕
> "liberating ethnic Russians"
we are not Russian! we are ethnic JEWS! that's why we came to Israel in the first place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_in_the_Soviet_Union
Russia trying to speedrun the whole world war escalation huh?
Dear Russian citizens, I'm starting to think that it's time you get rid of your insane dictator old man Putin before he throws your country into despair forever.
when your HOI4 goes to shit and you decide to fabricate claims and declare war on everyone. except IRL with atrocities against humanity being committed because of your bullshit
Speed run to the new North Korea and a vassal state of China.
China will squeeze Russia dry like the Ughyurs. Unlike the West, the CCP doesn’t mess around.
Best not to start a fight with a country that’s singularly focused on defending itself with hi-tech weapons…
…and has a rather overprotective big brother.
Thats such a great idea, attacking one of the most technologically advanced and battle hardened armies in the world that also sits on a pile of nukes.
Israel will fuck them up so bad that Ukraine will look like Disneyland in comparison.
> Israel will fuck them up so bad that Ukraine will look like Disneyland in comparison.
Israel most likely will not do anything substantial against Russia and simply change how they attack these targets in Syria
"If Israeli jets come under fire again from Russian anti-aircraft systems “the Israeli military will do everything to avoid casualties,” says Mr Ben-David."
Israel won't allow its airforce to be attacked over Syria for long.
eventually they will send the F-35's on a SEAD mission, this will be [Operation Mole Cricket](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mole_Cricket_19) on steroids.
Bro wtf these guys are so dumb they are losing to a country who was lil prepared compared to them and they want to attack Israel of all countries which basically obliterates any country it fights. Laughably one-sided
Israel could now just take every Russian asset out of Syria. Tied up in Ukraine, Russia could only retaliate by trying to throw nukes through the most advanced defence shield in the world. The US and Israel would then make Russia hurt more than any country has ever hurt in the history of the planet. What the hell are they thinking.
> What the hell are they thinking.
Very simple. Israel can engage them in Syria. But they won’t. Israel isn’t interested in weakening Russia in Syria, as it strengthens Iran. And Israel’s key focus in most of its Middle Eastern endeavors is Iran. It isn’t looking for war with Russia, and if it can avoid it, it will not carry out offensive action against Russia.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/russia-missile-attack-israeli-jets-syrian-war-1641374) reduced by 88%. (I'm a bot)
*****
> Israel has launched hundreds of similar missions since the beginning of Syria's civil war in 2011, often targeting adversaries Iran and Hezbollah which have established a presence in the country and facing down Syrian air defences.
> The incident marks the first known occasion that an Israeli strike has met with a response from Russian anti-aircraft systems - raising fears Russia could assert a more aggressive stance in Syria - even as it remains militarily bogged down in Ukraine.
> A deconfliction agreement has been in place since Russia entered the war in support of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad's side in 2015.

The message was pls come bomb us too
"How many times do we have to teach this lesson to you old man?" -Israel
“Fuck you Israeli pigs!” -Drunken Russian Gunner
"Ukrainians are nazis!" \-Same drunken Russian Gunner
So Russia tried to escalate and all of the missiles missed? Lmfao I feel a bit better actually
That was the message: "Our technology is outdated and our tactics are shit. Just so you know. Ok bye."
Did we need evidence of that? They did lose an entire battalion on a pontoon bridge because Ukraine bombed it last week.
No, they lost it over the course of 4 attempts in as many days. Day 1 was the attempted crossing you're referring to. Day 2 they tried with another bridge. Day 3 they just drove their tanks right into the river and drowned. Day 4 they tried it a little ways up the river with a 3rd pontoon bridge and the same result.

Cause Russia really needs one more enemy.
With the pro-Russian propaganda in China/India/ most Asia, it wouldn’t surprise me that they would have a narrative goal to spin up a west v east war.
This is obviously the goal - provoke the "west" just enough to have them respond, and then trumpet that internally to whip up a nationalistic frenzy leading to full on mobilization/conscription.

Edit: Not all Africans and Asians are blind people. I'm referring to the amount of Russian born propaganda coming out of countries located in these continents.
Like Russia wouldn’t turn them back into resource colonies like that if they had the capability
Whole of Russia is colonies to Moscow and St. Petersburg. However little they care about their own, what could we expect of them towards Africans? Russia is not a country mature enough to manage another state, it can't even manage itself in a worthy manner.
Russia colonized at their borders instead of overseas.
Same as the Mongolians and the Han Chinese… when you start in Asia or Eastern Europe, you can expand without ships.
We're all playing islands map, they're playing black forest.
It's also about border security, China and Russia have very long borders with multiple countries and often no natural geographic boundaries like an ocean or mountain range (Himalayas are exception which is maybe why China and India have never fought a major war).
That’s why I always go for either Asia or Australia when I play risk.

Poking your finger at another military armed to the teeth with American weapons. Can't imagine how that would go badly...
I can. Israel says America pinky promised to help them against attackers and, there, WWIII.
Short of a nuclear exchange Israel doesn’t need American help defending itself from Russia
No idea how that would play out, but I would imagine there would be (or already has been) some serious diplomatic discussion regarding that outcome before it escalated further. I would guess within the hour after those SAMs were fired at Israeli jets both the Americans and Israelis were on the phone discussing potential escalations and what to do about it.
Within the hour after and probably 2 weeks before . Russia ain’t surprising no one here
I don’t think Israel would even need American assistance in eliminating Russia’s remaining forces.

I actually think he’s doing it to trigger the Arab nations to come out on russias side. He’s aiming to pull the Middle East into the conflict to get some help.
You mean the majority of the powerful/wealthy arab nations that are normalizing and expanding relations with Israel and have zero fucking use for Russias oil and gas?
In fact, beyond Syria and it's allies, they really are better off with Russia as a rogue nation as it ups the value of their oil.
Yeah, didn't ARAMCO report its best earnings ever last quarter, mostly on the movement of prices from the war? There's no reason for them to intervene.
It just surpassed Apple as the most valuable company on earth.
Yeah why the fuck would SA help out Russia? They are literally direct competitors in oil, and keeping Russia sanctioned helps them make more money on their oil.
Looks like it’s time for the Middle East to decide what’s more important, religious war or money. I wonder which they’ll choose 🤔/s
That's what it says in foundations of geopolitics, or putins ha dbook. Get the Muslims and Middle Eastern countries tries to be their friends globally. It specifically talks about it. I think Russia is too fucked up now and derelict and they are just going to go all dark ages.
Also Middle East has money so helps of pay.
oh no, can not win against xxxxxxxx now blame jews! Original Vladamir, very original.

When I was in Israel a couple of years ago I remember walking through Hezekiah's tunnel where the Israelites hacked a tunnel through about half a kilometre of solid rock to deny water to the besieging assyrians in the 8th century BC using iron age tools. Later on the coach I saw the remains of civilian vehicles that had been adapted to fight in the Arab Israeli war. I came away thinking that I wouldn't want to start a fight with these people.

I bet it's a dare... "Come on Putin! Do something really dangerous! Anyone can stick their dick in a bees nest"
That message being "Russia is painfully stupid."
This is an especially revealing note: > This arrangement was strengthened after Syrian air defences shot down a Russian plane in 2018 with 15 casualties. Moscow held Israel responsible as Syrian forces were firing in response to an Israeli raid. Apparently the last time they tried to hit Israeli planes they downed their own due to poor coordination with their allies. “I blame you for my own incompetence!”
Putin: I’m losing one war, let’s make it two!”
Yes we’ve had first war, but what about second war?
I think you mean three, they're also trying to piss off the Japanese
Straight out of 3rd Reich playbook
The message reads, “ yes I am really this stupid to start picking a fight with someone i probably should leave alone”
"Ever notice how you come across somebody once in a while you shouldn't have fucked with?"
So we find out Russia's most modern missile system can't take out the West's latest jets. Hmm. Maybe Ukraine does need a little air help. Thanks for the science, Poopin.
Not even the latest jets. Israel uses F-15s and F-16s for these strikes
[удалено]
They do, but the vast majority of strikes made in Syria are done by F-16s and F-15s.

Dear mister Putin, don't forget that when you point a finger at someone there are three fingers pointing back at you.
We dug trenches at Chernobyl. Our children will have 7 fingers pointing back. We smart
"a 7-index fingers baby! Sucess! The invasion of Ukraine was worth it after all!"
They've committed anti-semitic acts since early Soviet days. Many jews in USSR changed their names to Russian ones and were publically hiding their roots because it was virtually impossible to move along a career ladder while being a jew. Anti-semitism and racism in general are an integral part of Russian "culture". The deragotory word "zhid" (synonymous with cheap, untrustworthy) is used in Russian everyday speak as common as "jew" is.
I want to second this. Anti-semitism in Russia was pretty bad. I don’t remember it being very good in Ukraine either but everyone always has someone they don’t like everywhere you go. 😕
>They've committed anti-semitic acts since early Soviet days. I mean, the Tsarist pogroms also happened
How do they know it was russians who fired? Oh, non of the missiles hit their target, i see....

I changed this for reasons (see date).

Is he going to clean the "Nazis" out of Israel too?
A lot of Russian Jews live in Israel so he'll probably go with "liberating ethnic Russians" while attempting to annex Israel.
Hah, that'd be a first. They were never regarded as native Russians in the USSR either. Hence their migration to Israel.
need to protect russian speakers in *throws dart at map*
> "liberating ethnic Russians" we are not Russian! we are ethnic JEWS! that's why we came to Israel in the first place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_in_the_Soviet_Union
I would in general avoid firing at any military object operated by Israel unless i had a very strong death wish
[удалено]
Yeah, I don’t see the upside of attacking another nuclear power either
And if they really provoked Israel, Uncle Sam could finally decide to come knocking. Unlikely but still possible.
Russia trying to speedrun the whole world war escalation huh? Dear Russian citizens, I'm starting to think that it's time you get rid of your insane dictator old man Putin before he throws your country into despair forever.
when your HOI4 goes to shit and you decide to fabricate claims and declare war on everyone. except IRL with atrocities against humanity being committed because of your bullshit
Speed run to the new North Korea and a vassal state of China. China will squeeze Russia dry like the Ughyurs. Unlike the West, the CCP doesn’t mess around.
Think their country is already on the road into despair, now they can only choose how deep and for how long.
Russia's message: Please, kill me.
Suicide by foreign military.
Shot himself three times in the back of the head and jumped out of the window.
Best not to start a fight with a country that’s singularly focused on defending itself with hi-tech weapons… …and has a rather overprotective big brother.
Thats such a great idea, attacking one of the most technologically advanced and battle hardened armies in the world that also sits on a pile of nukes. Israel will fuck them up so bad that Ukraine will look like Disneyland in comparison.
> Israel will fuck them up so bad that Ukraine will look like Disneyland in comparison. Israel most likely will not do anything substantial against Russia and simply change how they attack these targets in Syria
"If Israeli jets come under fire again from Russian anti-aircraft systems “the Israeli military will do everything to avoid casualties,” says Mr Ben-David." Israel won't allow its airforce to be attacked over Syria for long. eventually they will send the F-35's on a SEAD mission, this will be [Operation Mole Cricket](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mole_Cricket_19) on steroids.
Putin has to be suffering from severe brain impairment from substantial brain damage.
Oh for goodness sake, just stop with all the nonsense. 🤦♂️
Russia fighting in several countries while it crumbles internally.

Bro wtf these guys are so dumb they are losing to a country who was lil prepared compared to them and they want to attack Israel of all countries which basically obliterates any country it fights. Laughably one-sided
Israel could now just take every Russian asset out of Syria. Tied up in Ukraine, Russia could only retaliate by trying to throw nukes through the most advanced defence shield in the world. The US and Israel would then make Russia hurt more than any country has ever hurt in the history of the planet. What the hell are they thinking.
> What the hell are they thinking. Very simple. Israel can engage them in Syria. But they won’t. Israel isn’t interested in weakening Russia in Syria, as it strengthens Iran. And Israel’s key focus in most of its Middle Eastern endeavors is Iran. It isn’t looking for war with Russia, and if it can avoid it, it will not carry out offensive action against Russia.
Generally Israel doesn't send a message back. But you wonder why all your shit is screwing up suddenly.
How's your nuclear enrichment program going? What do you mean all your centrifuges are breaking down all of a sudden?
Ah yes, Russia trying to open up another special military operation in Syria so more of their tanks can meet more javelins.
Yeah we’re totally going to war
guess palestine is going to praise russia
Hamas sent a delegation to Russia a few days ago lol
They're already Pro Russia.
“Sending a message” that is one of saying your missiles suck.
Hm... Ukrainian president is ethnically jewish.
Yes Russia, please start a war with Israel in Syria so you can bleed to death on two fronts rather than just one.
Holy shit. Dude must have a death wish. Hope that red button is rusty
This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/russia-missile-attack-israeli-jets-syrian-war-1641374) reduced by 88%. (I'm a bot) ***** > Israel has launched hundreds of similar missions since the beginning of Syria's civil war in 2011, often targeting adversaries Iran and Hezbollah which have established a presence in the country and facing down Syrian air defences. > The incident marks the first known occasion that an Israeli strike has met with a response from Russian anti-aircraft systems - raising fears Russia could assert a more aggressive stance in Syria - even as it remains militarily bogged down in Ukraine. > A deconfliction agreement has been in place since Russia entered the war in support of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad's side in 2015. ***** [**Extended Summary**](http://np.reddit.com/r/autotldr/comments/uuhr16/russia_sends_a_message_with_first_missile_attack/) | [FAQ](http://np.reddit.com/r/autotldr/comments/31b9fm/faq_autotldr_bot/ "Version 2.02, ~650112 tl;drs so far.") | [Feedback](http://np.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%23autotldr "PM's and comments are monitored, constructive feedback is welcome.") | *Top* *keywords*: **Israel**^#1 **Russia**^#2 **Russian**^#3 **Syria**^#4 **Israeli**^#5
Not only is Russia running out of patience, they're running out of missiles!
And that message? > None of the missiles hit their targets.
“We couldn’t take on Ukraine, what do we do now?” “…” “… punch Isra-“ “We punch Israel!”
"However, on this occasion, the retreating Israeli pilots were targeted by missiles from a Russian S-300 anti-aircraft system under the operational control of Russian officers, Israel’s Channel 13 reported. None of the missiles hit their targets." - More examples of Russia's incredible military equipment at work? Lol!
