IDF: Syria’s Anti-Aircraft System Most Advanced in World

(Ynet News)
August 13, 2007
The Syrians have purchased the most advanced ground-to-air missiles from the Russians, considered the cutting edge in aircraft interception technology, said a senior Israeli military source.
According to one estimate, the Syrians have more than 200 anti-aircraft batteries of different types.
The Institute for National Security Studies recently issued a memo on the strengthening of the Syrian army. Researcher Yiftah Shapir writes that the anti-aircraft deals between Syria and Russia include the purchase of SA-24 missile systems, an armored vehicle which carries four Igla-S missiles – among the most advanced shoulder-fired missiles on the market.
In addition, the Syrians purchased 36 to 50 Pantsir S-1 (SA-22) systems that combine missiles and shells. It is installed on a high-mobility vehicle and has a launcher of 12 missiles.

Iran and Syria hoping Russian Bear didn’t sell them a “Pig-in-a-Poke.”
September 8, 2007
http://www.tribulationperiod,com/
The location of Wednesday night’s mysterious supersonic maneuvers in Syria, coupled with the so called repulsion of the intruders, following a dropping of “munitions” by the aircraft, apparently at different levels, and the somewhat “out of character” responses by Russia, Syria, Israel, and the United States, lead me to believe the latest DEBKAfile Report to have a reasonable degree of validity.
It appears from the character of the events as they were described by the Syrians, this was a deliberate planned set of maneuvers by Israeli jets to test the newly installed high tech Russian Pantsyr-S1E Missile Repellant System’s ability to repulse attack aircraft from striking a target.
With April Fool’s Day some seven months away it hardly seems fair for the Russian Bear to play such an outlandish April Fool’s joke on Syria and Iran, especially considering what they paid for the Pantsyr-S1E missiles purchased from the Bear to repel air assailants.
I suspect the analyzing DEBKAfile military experts are correct in their assessment of this week’s mysterious bird droppings over northern Syria by Israeli birds with afterburners. If so, everybody is clamming up for different reasons and we may never know for certain. I can picture the guys in the NSA Control Room really having a chuckle over this episode. And I can imagine all the excuses for the systems failure that are being copied from intercept between the Syrians, Iranians, and Russians. If it is true, my hat is off to the IAF, and I express my gratitude for a major coup which supplied valuable information to Israel and her allies.
The intelligence gained could be a deciding factor in a “go” or “no go” strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities.

Advanced Russian Air Defense Missile Cannot Protect Syrian and Iranian Skies
September 7, 2007, 1:16 PM (GMT+02:00)
DEBKAfile’s military experts conclude from the way Damascus described the episode Wednesday, Sept. 6, that the Pantsyr-S1E missiles, purchased from Russia to repel air assailants, failed to down the Israeli jets accused of penetrating northern Syrian airspace from the Mediterranean the night before.
The new Pantsyr missiles therefore leave Syrian and Iranian airspace vulnerable to hostile intrusion.

HADACOL SPECIAL RECALL FOR BIRD DROPPINGS IN SYRIA!
September 9. 2007
http://www.tribulationperiod.com/
I have had a lot of fun issuing the last three blogs, as well as this one. It is a very serious matter, but I enjoy all the ridiculous statements being issued by all those associated with, and directly or indirectly affected, by it.
Of course, I could be wrong, but as a retired NSA analyst, having set through episodes like this one in the Command Post, as my specialty was required, it is like old home week at Ft. George G. Meade for me.
As you know from my previous blogs, I think this was a natural reaction by Israel to the installation of new Russian high tech intercept hardware that desperately needed to have its capabilities tested by F-151 Israeli aircraft. It would have had the full approval of the United States. Such information would be vital in the event Israel and/or the U.S. decided to strike the Iranian Nuclear Complex and the Scud complex in Syria.
The Syrians are embarrassed as well as the Russians who sold them the equipment, which apparently wasn’t all it was chalked up to be, and the Iranians are no longer smug about the same Russian System being able to protect their Nuclear Complex.
Hence, no one is saying anything that resembles a failure on the part of anyone.

Straight Skinny – Israeli F-15I’s blacked out Syrian Air Defenses to destroy a Cache of Nuclear Materials!
September 16, 2007
http://www.tribulationperiod.com/
This is not good news for Iran, because they have the same type of Russian Air Defense Systems as Syria.
This means that Israel and U.S. attack aircraft will be able to black out the Iranian nuclear sites Air defense Systems.

As Promised – Blow Hard Rhetoric out of Red Faced Iran!
September 18, 2007
http://www.tribulationperiod.com/
Iran is whistling loudly in the graveyard, trying to artificially keep up its faded courage. Iran discovered its nuclear and military sites do not have the great protection from aircraft and missile attacks, which was promised to them by the recently acquired Russian Detection Systems.
Syria’s protection was proven to be a myth by the success of the Israeli air strike in northern Syria.
Their anticipated whistling is in the form of threatening rhetoric against Israel. It is blow hard, hot air, rhetoric. They do not have 600 launch proficient Shihab-3’s to send up. Even if they did, none of them have nuclear warheads – Israel’s do! The Shihab-3 testing has been limited. Israel has a missile detection and destruction system that works. Blow hard rhetoric, the U.S. and Israel know is all hot air, is all that Iran can launch upwards at the present time.
Who knows, this might cause even a man as fanatical as Ahmadinejad to back off. I imagine his religious superiors are all over him now like a duck on a June bug. If Syria and Iran want to win a war with Israel they had better back up, develop an effective air and missile shield, allow UN inspectors back into Iran, find a way to secretly develop a deterrent nuclear weapon, and employ some of their well known Persian and Syrian cunning to lead Israel down a dead end peace path of deceit.

Syrian and Iranian Military Confidence is staggered after IAF and Commando Success!
September 23, 2007
http://www.tribulationperiod.com
All the wild screaming coming out of Iran’s President Ahmadinejad is a cover for a blow to his confidence in Iran’s military capabilities.
There are two factors working in the Middle East that are currently appearing in print, which have future implications:
FIRST
Syria, Iran, and Russia are all terribly shocked and embarrassed by the obvious great success of Israel in avoiding what they thought was a magnificent high tech aircraft and missile system, which could not be penetrated.
AND SECOND
Russia’s Putin is rushing to Iran to assure them everything will be just fine, because he does not want the oil laying golden egg goose to stop sending its gold eggs from oil revenues to Russia. He desperately needs them for the Russian Economy.
All this will have a direct affect on the timing of a major Middle East War which, Lord willing, I will discuss in the next Blog.

Russia’s Putin heads to Iran to Placate the Golden Goose!
September 24, 2007
http://www.tribulationperiod.com/
I retired from the USAF Branch of the National Security Agency at Fort George G. Meade in 1971, and began work on my first book, “Tectonic Chaos,” in the early seventies while still a student at the Missionary Baptist Seminary in Little Rock, Arkansas. I am certainly not one of the “Johnnie Come Lately” boys in bringing the Antichrist out of the Middle East Arab World.” I have believed he would come out of Syria or Lebanon from my youth. The following is a quote from my first book, which was published in the mid-seventies, more than thirty years ago.
Begin Quote
“Revelation 13:1 – And I stood upon the s and of the sea,
and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
The ten horns of Revelation 13:1 are ten Arab nations who will soon form the nucleus of the seventh kingdom, and the ten crowns are the kings who will rule then. For years we have pictured the typical Arab as a scrawny little fellow on a camel in
the desert with a rather comic expression on his face. This viewpoint is quickly changing. Oil is slowly replacing the dollar in international importance, and soon Arab nations will have gained economic control of much of the earth’s wealth. We will not try to stop them because of the Soviet Union – And the Soviet Union will not try to stop them because of us and Red China. The world power block will block itself while the Arab nations prosper in their midst.”
End Quote
I watched the above scenario begin in the late sixties while still in the NSA, and knew it would continue until the ten Arab nations attacked Israel, which would be followed some three and one-half years later by China, and what was then the Soviet Union, coming down to join the Antichrist at the final battle of Armageddon.
I wrote my second book, “Tribulation Triad,” through encouragement by Dr. J.B. Powers, to whom I dedicated my third book, “Birth Pangs from the Bottomless Pit,” which was published in the early eighties.
Sure enough, the Golden Goose Middle East Arab countries have been protected from a take-over of their Golden Egg resources by the United States, Russia, and China not daring to take over the Golden Egg laying resources. They feared what the other two would do, if one attempted to do so. But Russia has indeed been on a Golden Egg Easter hunt since the Soviet Union economy went to ground zero as the Union splintered into many countries. Russia rushed into the Middle East to offer all sorts of high tech military weapons, scientists, and builders to get the golden eggs, which they desperately needed to build up a non-existent Russian economy – and Iraq and Iran made it happen.
North Korea and China did the same, but not on the same grand scale as Russia.
There are several reasons that Putin, as indicated in the article which follows from the DEBKAfiles, is heading for an October 16 meeting in Iran, but the main reason is to exercise damage control on the complete failure of the supposedly invincible Russian aircraft & missile detection & destruction system that was pawned off on Iran and Syria for a large number of golden oil revenue eggs.
He wants more golden eggs from the Arab oil producing revenues.
The very strong ties between Russia, China, and North Korean with the fanatical factions of the Islamic nations of the Middle East world, will be made very plain at the final battle of Armageddon, when they all come down to get a piece of the possum oil pie.
End of 7 Blogs
The 7 Blogs will help to understand the excerpt which follows by Dr. Jack Wheeler, titled “Silence in Syria, Panic in Iran,” which I received from Tommy Walls, the Senior Pastor of Meadowlake MBC in Conway on September 28, 2007. As I have indicated since September 7, there is a great deal of anxiety in both Iran and Syria since the aerial attack in northern Syria, which destroyed the invincibility myth of the Russian detection and destruction systems. They both are now acutely aware of the vulnerability of their defenses against aircraft or missile attacks on their military facilities.
Begin Excerpt from Forwarded Article by Dr. Jack Wheeler
SILENCE IN SYRIA, PANIC IN IRAN
Dr. Jack Wheeler
One of India’s top ranking generals assigned to liaise with the Iranian military recently returned to New Delhi from several days in Tehran – in a state of complete amazement.
“Everyone in the government and military can only talk of one thing,” he reports. “No matter who I talked to, all they could do was ask me, over and over again, ‘Do you think the Americans will attack us?’ ‘When will the Americans attack us?’ ‘Will the Americans attack us in a joint operation with the Israelis?’ How massive will the attack be?’ on and on, endlessly. The Iranians are in a state of total panic.”
And that was before September 6. Since then, it’s panic-squared in
Tehran. The mullahs are freaking out in fear. Why? Because of the silence in Syria.
On September 6, Israeli Air Force F-15 and F-16s conducted a devastating attack on targets deep inside Syria near the city of Dayr AZ-Zawr.
Israel’s military censors have muzzled the Israeli media, enforcing an extraordinary silence about the identity of the targets. Massive
speculation in the world press has followed, such as Brett Stephens’
Osirak II? in yesterday’s (9/18) Wall St. Journal.
Stephens and most everyone else have missed the real story.
It is not Israel’s silence that “speaks volumes” as he claims, but Syria’s. Why would the Syrian government be so tight-lipped about an act of war perpetrated on their soil
?
The first half of the answer lies in this story that appeared in the
Israeli media last month (8/13): Syria’s Antiaircraft System Most
Advanced In World. Syria has gone on a profligate buying spree, spending vast sums on Russian systems, “considered the cutting edge in aircraft interception technology.”
Syria now “possesses the most crowded antiaircraft system in the world,” with “more than 200 antiaircraft batteries of different types,” some of which are so new that they have been installed in Syria “before being introduced into Russian operation service.”
While you’re digesting that, take a look at the map of Syria: Notice how far away Dayr AZ-Zawr is from Israel. An F15/16 attack there is not a tiptoe across the border, but a deep, deep penetration of Syrian airspace. And guess what happened with the Russian
super-hyper-sophisticated cutting edge antiaircraft missile batteries when that penetration took place on September 6th. Nothing. El blanko. Silence. The systems didn’t even light up, gave no indication whatever of any detection of enemy aircraft invading Syrian airspace, zip, zero, nada. The Israelis (with a little techie assistance from us) blinded the Russkie antiaircraft systems so completely the Syrians didn’t even know they were blinded.
Now you see why the Syrians have been scared speechless. They thought they were protected – at enormous expense – only to discover they are defenseless. As in naked. Thus the Great Iranian Freak-Out – for this means Iran is just as nakedly defenseless as Syria. I can tell you that there are a lot of folks in the Kirya (IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv) and the Pentagon right now who are really enjoying the mullahs’ predicament.
Let’s face it: scaring the terror masters in Tehran out of their wits is fun. It’s so much fun, in fact, that an attack destroying Iran’s nuclear
facilities and the Revolutionary Guard command/control centers has been delayed, so that France (under new management) can get in on the fun too.
On Sunday (9/16), Sarkozy’s foreign minister Bernard Kouchner announced that “France should prepare for the possibility of war over Iran’s nuclear program.”
All of this has caused Tehran to respond with maniacal threats. On
Monday (9/17), a government website proclaimed that “600 Shihab-3 missiles” will be fired at targets in Israel in response to an attack upon Iran by the US/Israel. This was followed by Iranian deputy air force chief Gen. Mohammad Alavi announcing today (9/19) that “we will attack their (Israeli) territory with our fighter bombers as a response to any attack.” A sure sign of panic is to make a threat that everyone knows is a bluff. So our and Tel Aviv’s response to Iranian bluster is a thank-you-for-sharing yawn and a laugh. Few things rattle the mullahs’ cages more than a yawn and a laugh.
