Defense minister Shoigu and president Putin at the Tsugol range in Siberia observe maneuvers
One S-300 missile system is estimated by experts to cost some $115 million, plus $1 million or so per missile.
.
.
….Let us be clear about this
Russian air force personnel will be manning and training the Syrians with these weapons, which represent a massive upgrade over the S-200. If Israel bombs the Syrian S-300s, they will be killing Russians again.
One, Israel, an illegal country occupying Palestine by violence, has been bombing with impunity a legal, sovereign country, Syria, for decades.
Two, Israel and Syria have never established diplomatic relations. Syria and Israel have technically been in a state of war since 1948. Since the creation of both states in the mid-20th century, the countries fought three major wars: the 1948 Arab Israeli War, the Six-Day War in 1967 and the Yom Kippur War in 1973. Syria refers to Israel to this day only as “the Zionist entity,” which was also the Soviet-Russian term.
Three, Syria and Russia (whether Soviet Russia or today’s Russia under Yeltsin and, since 2000, Putin) have been close military allies for many decades, with Russia both training and arming the Syrians.
President Assad and family
Assad has blue eyes, and is in fact an eye doctor who studied ophthalmology in London.
Wiki: Born and raised in Damascus, Assad graduated from the medical school of Damascus University in 1988 and started to work as a doctor in the Syrian Army. Four years later, he attended postgraduate studies at the Western Eye Hospital in London, specialising in ophthalmology.
In 1994, after his elder brother Bassel died in a car crash, Bashar was recalled to Syria to take over Bassel’s role as heir apparent.
He entered the military academy, taking charge of the Syrian military presence in Lebanon in 1998.
On 10 July 2000, Assad was elected as President, succeeding his father, who died in office a month prior.
Four, Russia’s ONLY air force and naval bases outside Russia itself, Hmeimim AFB and Tartus NB, are located in Syria.
If Assad falls, Russia has let down an ally. It has lost its bases in the eastern Mediterranean from which to operate against ISIS and other Islamist terrorists, with Russia’s own population being 20% muslim and a victim of Islamic terror!
Maybe Americans have forgotten the 2004 Beslan school massacre, but Russians have not! 334 children slaughtered! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beslan_school_siege
The Tree of Grief sculpture in Beslan
Fourth, Russia has been the protector of the Orthodox Christian remnant in the Middle East for centuries. If Assad falls, who protects the Christians, the Orthodox Christians in Syria will be slaughtered again by ISIS or the like!
President Assad visits Christians on Christmas Eve
Putin and the Metropolitan, the head of the Orthodox Church in Russia
Russia rebuilt for $100 million the Cathedral of Christ the Savior which Stalin, to please the jews, had dynamited for a large outdoor swimming pool.
Interior; Putin goes regularly to confession with a Father Tychon. IMO his personal style in public is very much “Christian humility and service.”
Fifth, the Russians are irate about the shootdown of their multi-million-dollar Il-20 electronic reconnaisance plane, the death of 15 of their soldiers, and multiple Israeli lies and violations of solemn agreements.
General Konashenkov, a blue-eyed Slav, and spokesman for the Defense Ministry, denounces Israel for lies, treachery and ingratitude.
No politician can afford to seriously piss off his generals or secret police!
Sixth, though Putin has been somewhat indulgent toward Jewry, antisemitism is at the core of the Slavic experience with Khazars for hundreds of years. (Unsurprisingly, the FIRST law passed by the bolsheviks in 1917 made antisemitism a capital crime.)
But even Putin, of North Russian peasant stock, has his limits with the Jews, and said pointedly while inaugurating a new Jewish museum in Moscow, as reported by Russia-1 television:
This is how almost all Russians see the bolsheviks — and what they did to the Russian people:
Accordingly, this is how the Jews view Putin, as being like all Slavs a closet antisemite:
With respect to this failed 2016 meeting between Putin and leaders of European Jewry…
…a German comrade asked me what I thought of this 2016 meeting.
I replied:
***
Okay, I watched the whole video. Putin swallowed several times and seemed nervous, and not at all sincere or friendly. I also saw he had no eye contact with the Jews, who just stared at him skeptically. Especially the hook-nosed, fat man sitting opposite him looked at him very coldly.
M: Why is he even holding this meeting?
John de Nugent: “For fear of the Jews” – to use the New Testament phrase, which is found 11 times.
Pontius Pilate ordered Jesus whipped and crucified out of “fear of the jews.”
John 19:12-16
From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jewish leaders kept shouting, “If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king opposes Caesar.”
[…] But [the Jews] shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!” “Shall I crucify your king?” Pilate asked. “We have no king but Caesar!” the chief priests answered.
Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified. So the soldiers took charge of Jesus.
M: Putin does not need to be afraid. Russia is world power No. 2!
[13:40:02] John de Nugent: Well, the US plus NATO is pretty strong too, and Putin can never — and should never — trust his “ally,” China, which has made it explicit that they are NOT an ally.
The Chinese and Russians basically have never liked each other. The Russians consider themselves a white people and a bulwark against Asia, and the Chinese see the Russians as white intruders in a yellow Asia.
The white Russian subway system in Moscow, compared with that of mongrelized Paris. Moscow, with a population of now twelve million, is by far the largest white city on earth. (Wiki: At the time of the official 2010 Census –total pop. 11.5 milion — the ethnic makeup of the city’s population whose ethnicity was known (10,835,092 people) was:[60] Russian: 9,930,410 (91.65%), Ukrainian (also white-slavic): 154,104 (1.42%), Belarusian (also slavic): 39,225 (0.4%) for a white, slavic total of 93.5% WHITE) )
M: Putin is a communist. We both know what the communists did to us Germans during and after World War II.
John de Nugent: I knew that, comrade, long before you were born. 🙂
Putin was KGB, yes, but only in the anti-NATO, anti-spy defense and was stationed in East Germany. The great foe of communism, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who did 11 years in the gulag, pointed this out, and explicitly forgave Putin his KGB activities because they were directed only against NATO.
Putin gave Solzhenitsyn in 2007 the highest Russian medal, AFTER his massive 2002 antisemitic book in two volumes, Two Hundred Years Together came out. It is so antisemitic that, though Solzhenitsyn was a world-famous dissident and Nobel Prize winner, it has still not been published in English! Here is the French version of volume two.
Putin never arrested anti-Communist dissidents inside Russia.
Of course, Putin unfortunately is not NS either, at least not on race and the Jews. He is just a nationalistic populist, like Orban or Salvini.
M: I certainly do not regard Putin as a liberator of our German nation.
I completely follow what Hitler once said:
“Never believe in outside help, never in help that comes from beyond our own nation, our own people, for within ourselves lies the future of the German people.
If we ourselves uplift this German people through our own work, through our own diligence, through our own determination, through our own defiance, and through our own perseverance, then we will rise again, just as with our forefathers — who did not once receive Germany as a gift from heaven, but had to build the Reich themselves. ” (First speech as Chancellor, at the Berlin Sports Palace, February 10, 1933)
And seventh and finally, the very fact that Russia-1 television used the calendar day of SEPTEMBER 11 [ = false-flag attack by Jews on goyim, a subject which Rt has touched on a number of times]
…and in the critical election year of 2016…
….in order to showcase MY extremely antisemitic website,
–make a special graphic highlighting MY name,
–showing my article in the evening news for 13 long seconds,
–choosing to NOT use the “moderate,” non-antisemitic Paul Craig Roberts site and the article which I had merely recycled,
in order to convey a warning from Putin to then candidate Trump about assassination, proves that
Putin is fully aware of the Jewish Question.
How could Putin not grasp the Jewish peril after 60 million of his fellow Slavs were murdered by judeo-bolsheviks???
My article commenting on Roberts’ piece, the one that Russia-1 highlighted, was blatant and far more explicit —
“Trump, watch out for the Jews!!!”
Dmitry Kiselyov, a rightwing conservative who reflects popular Russian attitudes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitry_Kiselyov), is the director of the number-one network in Russian, Rossiya-1, (different from “Channel 1,” btw). Russia-1 is a government-owned network (like RT, btw). Kiselyov was appointed in 2013, five years ago, by President Putin.

…..The 1917 Van Rensburg prophecy of three world wars — and a German final victory (but emerging into a world in ashes ) marches toward its fulfillment. Britain betrays America, Turkey betrays Russia, Russia invades Europe to “get in the first blow” and “horror bombs” go off.
https://johndenugent.com/english/simon-roche-south-africa-the-coming-all-out-race-war-certain-germans-to-the-rescue-trump-wwiii-and-the-visions-of-the-prophet-nicholas-van-rensburg-100-years-ago
According to the 1917 prophecy of the militant Boer Nicholas van Rensburg,
after a black becomes president of South Africa ( = Mandela) and later a black likewise becomes the president of the United States ( = Obama), and recall that back in 1917 such notions seemed absurd and even unimaginable), with the black US president described as “a black boy,” THEN a male, white, older conservative will take over the reins of the state. He will have “hair like a wig,” constantly frown, and he will end up (against his will?) waging a catastrophic war against Russia.
Russia will be destroyed, and some European countries as well, especially England, which will break its alliance with the United States and therefore will be abandoned by them. Not one Englishman will survive, van Rensburg predicts.
Germans and Boers in South Africa will be the only major white survivors of this useless war that will destroy the entire northern hemisphere of our planet.
They will build together a new white empire in Africa, which will have remained unscathed from the Third World War, and these two very tough, smart, warlike white peoples with no racial illusions will crush without mercy any black people who oppose them..
As far as the Germans are concerned, as I have explained many times on my website, Adolf Hitler ordered, after the great defeat at Stalingrad, the evacuation of elite German scientists and military to Antarctica. They have huge under-ice military bases there, and also in the Andes mountain range, in a kind of existence like a badger, protected in their lairs, but not daring to wage war on the United States or Russia (on neither Soviet Russia nor that of Putin).
What are his prophecies about the Tribe, who are certainly our worst enemy?
He did not mention them. He was a fervent Calvinist Christian, thus a typical Boer, and not anti-Semitic. Like all Boers, he hated especially the English (who had killed two of his daughters in Lord Kitchener’s horrible concentration camps), and he loved and admired the Germans. He prophesied that the Germans would lose two world wars but win, that is, survive — alone — the third one.
Hitler himself said “Das letzte Battalion wird ein deutsches sein.” (“The last battalion will be German.”) This becomes understandable only if one accepts the reality of the military “Absetzbewegung” of 1943-45, the “disengagement movement”.

Where is the proof that Syria has received these Russian S-300 systems and personnel, and how many S-300s were supposedly received? I don’t believe this for a minute, unless definitive proof is provided. As I’ve said before, Putin will never do anything to anger his Chabad Lubavitch handlers. This was just a propaganda statement by Shoigu, under Putin’s orders, to appease the anger of Russian citizens over the Israeli shoot-down of their jet, and “save face” for Russia and Putin, by giving the false impression that Russia is taking retaliatory measures against Israel. Because if Putin did nothing to “save face” over this Israeli provocation, the Russian people and Russia’s entire military would realize that Putin is merely Netanyahu’s puppet. And then Putin would likely be overthrown by a right-wing military coup, as you’ve pointed out. There are no S-300s in Syria and never will be, and I’d be willing to bet money on that. Israel will continue to bomb Syrian targets with impunity, and Russia will continue to do nothing about it.
Here it is:
https://www.rt.com/news/440175-s300-delivery-syria-video/
The Russian Defense Ministry has released video footage of the delivery of S-300 systems, interceptor missiles, radars and other hardware to Syria to boost the country’s air-defense capabilities in the wake of the Il-20 incident.
The night-time footage shows the military hardware being unloaded off the world’s largest military transport jet, the Antonov An-124 Ruslan (the Condor), designed to carry a payload of 120 tons.
The video shows the gigantic front cargo doors of the aircraft opening up, through which the Russian servicemen rapidly unload an S-300 launcher, radar and control vehicles, as well as the mounting of surface-to-air interceptor missile tubes onto a hauling unit.
According to Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu, a total of 49 pieces of military equipment were supplied to Damascus and all of it will be integrated with the Russian anti-air capabilities into a unified air defense control system by October 20, while Syrian crews will be trained to operate the new hardware within three months.
‘49 pieces of hardware’: Syria gets S-300 missile system & more from Russia in wake of Il-20 downing
The delivery of S-300 units to Damascus, which was frozen over concerns by Tel Aviv, was ordered by President Putin in response to the accidental September 17 downing of the Il-20 reconnaissance plane with 15 servicemen on board by Syrian air-defense units during an Israeli raid.
The Russian military has accused Israeli counterparts of acting recklessly and unprofessionally, and of deliberately using the defenseless plane as a cover, while Tel Aviv attempted to shift all the blame for the incident on Damascus and Tehran.

…..‘I hope they didn’t do it’: State Dept in doubt over S-300 delivery, warns of ‘serious escalation’
The news of Russia completing the delivery of its S-300 air defense system to the Syrian Army has provoked a nervous reaction in Washington, as the US State Department said it still hopes that the delivery had not taken place.
“I saw that report. I cannot confirm that it is accurate. I hope that they did not,” the State Department’s spokeswoman, Heather Nauert, said, referring to the Russian military, as she responded to a question about the S-300.
“That would be a sort of a serious escalation” of the situation on the ground in Syria, she added, while refusing to comment further on the issue. Earlier on Tuesday, the Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu told President Vladimir Putin that the Russian military have completed the delivery.
The hardware supplied to Syria consisted of 49 pieces of military equipment, including radars, control vehicles and four S-300 launchers, he added. A unified air defense control system will be created in Syria by October 20, while training of the Syrian crews will take three months, according to Shoigu. The new air defense systems will be particularly able to suppress satellite navigation, radars and communications systems of enemy aircraft over the Mediterranean Sea, in what might be a source of particular concern for the US and its allies.
Russia’s move follows the downing of the Il-20 reconnaissance plane over Syria. It was shot down by a Syrian air defense system while the Israeli jets used it as a cover during an air raid striking targets in the Latakia province. Tel Aviv denied responsibility for the tragedy while the Russian Defense Ministry presented a detailed report on the incident and radar data showing that an Israeli jet indeed used the Russian plane as a cover.

‘New reality’? Israel may increasingly use F-35s in Syria raids after Russia’s S-300 delivery

‘New reality’? Israel may increasingly use F-35s in Syria raids after Russia’s S-300 delivery

The IAF must increasingly rely on the futuristic stealth capabilities of the troubled F-35 jet if it’s to continue its raids with impunity, after Syria’s air-defenses were boosted with S-300 systems, Israeli army radio reports.
Tel Aviv’s self-reserved right to freely strike ‘Iranian targets’ anywhere inside or outside Syria was severely undermined by Moscow’s transfer of S-300 air defense systems and accompanying hardware to Damascus.
The surface-to-air interceptors delivered to the Syrian Arab Army, as well as Moscow’s resolve to jam the radar, navigation, and communications systems on any aircraft attacking targets in Syria via the Mediterranean coast might complicate missions for Israeli F-15s and F-16s. So, to avert potential threats to their fighter planes, Israel will rely more on the F-35 to carry out its missions in Syria, Galei Tzahal (Army Radio) reported.
“The coming attacks won’t be the first, but they will be safer for the pilots in light of the new reality in Syria’s skies,” a source within IAF told the radio station, also emphasizing that Israel has every intention to use this “most expensive weapon in the world.”
In recent years, Tel Aviv purchased 50 F-35 units, known in Israel by their Hebrew name, the ‘Adir,’ from Lockheed Martin, at the cost of $125 million each. Eight of the planes have already been transferred to Israel, while 33 more are expected to arrive by 2021, an IAF source said.
…..Russia’s S-300: Here’s what you need to know about the missile system
According to the technical characteristics of the US-made jets, the active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar system should, in theory, allow the jet to operate undetected inside enemy territory and to evade advanced missile defense systems such as the S-300 by suppressing its signals. Whether or not the F-35’s ‘stealth’ capabilities will be effective in real battle conditions is yet to be seen as, in the past, the aircraft, on top of hundreds of bugs and glitches in its systems, was experiencing radar problems.
Russia’s move to secure the Syrian airspace with S-300 complexes follows the downing of the Il-20 reconnaissance plane over Syria by Damascus’ dated air defense system. Moscow pinned the blame for the death of the 15 servicemen on Tel Aviv, asserting that the tragedy occurred because four Israeli F-16 jets used the Russian plane as a cover during an air raid in the Latakia province.

Netanyahu has said Israel will continue to strike Iranian targets in Syria despite Russia’s S-300 anti-missile systems
10:00 PM – Sep 26, 2018
Tel Aviv denied responsibility, shifting the blame on Damascus and Tehran, and stressing that it will continue to strike ‘Iranian targets’ in Syria. Israel, however, pledged to boost coordination between the IDF and the Russian militaries, to avoid any further unfortunate incidents in the Syrian skies.
….READ MORE: Pentagon hiding ‘life-threatening’ F-35 design flaws to meet deadline – watchdog
https://www.rt.com/usa/437286-pentagon-f35-design-flaws/
Officials overseeing the development of the F-35 fighter jets have apparently deliberately downplayed some critical deficiencies that can endanger lives of both pilots and troops on the ground, said the Project On Government Oversight (POGO), an independent watchdog. It obtained the Pentagon agency’s documents which show that there’s no justification or plans to fix the flaws still plaguing the $1.5 trillion program.
Instead of fixing them, the problems were just re-categorized. The Deficiency Review Board of the Joint Strike Fighter Program Office downgraded 19 Category I problems to a less serious Category II, without providing any plan to correct ten of those critical design flaws.
Category I deficiencies “may cause death, severe injury, or severe occupational illness; may cause loss or major damage to a weapon system; critically restricts the combat readiness capabilities of the using organization; or result in a production line stoppage,” according to the US military documents.
Category II deficiencies “could impede or constrain successful mission accomplishment.” The categories are assigned to the deficiencies by the testing personnel, who identify them during the test and evaluation process.
In many cases, however, the board acted on its own “with no apparent justification or evidence that the flaws were in fact not as serious as initially categorized,” POGO said.
The list of the most critical issues includes problems with an emergency alert system when pilots eject, damage to the plane caused by the tail hook on the Navy variant, or the lack of any means for a pilot to confirm a weapon’s target data before firing, which could lead to troops on the ground being hit by friendly fire.
The Pentagon’s attempts to paper over serious problems with the F-35 are apparently caused by its desire to avoid further delays in the aircraft development schedule, POGO said. The F-35, built by Lockheed Martin, was supposed to finish the 16-year development phase this year.
“They want to be able to go up to Capitol Hill and say, ‘Nope, we don’t have any more Category 1 deficiencies,’” Dan Grazier, a military fellow at POGO, told Washington Examiner, adding that the developers are “just three weeks away from” a major deadline for initial test and evaluation of the aircraft, which comes on September 15.
In June, the US congressional watchdog, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) also warned the Pentagon against moving to mass production of the planes until all technical issues are resolved.
The same report also found almost 1,000 various technical problems affecting the F-35 jets, including 111 designated as Category 1 flaws. The issues ranged from helmets that can hinder pilots’ vision to a stealth-coating that might “melt” during a flight at supersonic speed.
The fifth-generation stealth fighter built by Lockheed Martin was supposed to be a modular design, with modifications adapting it for service in the US Air Force (F-35A), the US Marine Corps (F-35B) and the US Navy (F-35C). However, the aircraft development repeatedly missed the deadlines and the cost of each individual fighter jet is now estimated to surpass $120 million.
The notorious jets have also repeatedly faced various technical issues while flying. Most recently, an F-35 plane had to perform an emergency landing after experiencing a technical malfunction over Floridian skies. When it already parked, the jet’s front nose gear collapsed, adding to the misery. In December 2017, a US Air Force F-35 fighter jet lost a panel during a “routine training mission” in Okinawa.
