Moscow: “US attack on Damascus is imminent”
Russia is claiming for the past ten days that the Trump administration is about to attack Syria because of the Assad army’s use of chemical poisons in East Ghouta. Washington has not addressed this claim one way or the other.
Tthe Russian General Staff first warned “about an imminent attack in Syria” on Tuesday, March 13. The Chief of Russia’s General Staff, Gen. Valery Gerasimov, was quoted as saying that Russia has “reliable information about militants preparing to falsify a government chemical attack against civilians,” and warning that Russia would “respond to a US strike on Syria, if the lives of Russian servicemen were threatened, targeting any missiles and launchers involved.”
Underlying the Russian general’s warning was a suggestion that Syrian rebels fighting in Al Ghouta would, or had, faked a Syrian chemical attack on civilians as the pretext for an American attack. Then, on March 17, Gen. Sergei Rudskoi, head of the main operations for Russia’s General Staff, amplified the claim by charging that the US had sent “a fleet of strike carriers to the Mediterranean and Red Sea carrying cruise missiles.” He added details: “This force is comprised of 7,500 army personnel, an aircraft carrier, at least one cruiser, destroyers and 65 to 70 aircraft.” Actual US military movements are confirmed by DEBKAfile’s military sources. But Russian military sources go on to state that this armada “is ready to launch roughly 400 long-range Tomahawks against a target in the Middle East on any given day.”
To meet the US war threat articulated by Moscow, DEBKAfile’s military and intelligence sources report that, last week, the Russian air force landed at its Khmeimim air base in Syria a Mi-8MTPR-1 helicopter carrying a Rychag-AV active jamming station. This electronic package is capable of detecting and suppressing the electronic command-and-control systems and radars of surface-to-air and air-to-air missiles carried by aircraft, drones, land vehicles and surface ships within a 400km radius. The Rychag-AV station can moreover suppress diverse targets simultaneously, and function on board ships, aircraft and land vehicles, as well as helicopters.
The arrival of this advanced jamming station certainly beefs up Syrian defenses against sophisticated US and Israeli attacks. There is no word on how many of these stations were shipped to Syria. If properly spaced out on Syrian soil, they would be capable of disabling US military operations right across the country, from northern Iraq to the Mediterranean, and also interfere with Israeli military activity inside its northern border.
There has been no comment from American or Israel sources either to confirm or deny the Russian claims of the past ten days of an imminent US attack in Syria. Perhaps they are waiting to see what is behind them.
i hope they strike yesterday before today. Fuck russia and syria
Me hope not. Me think Israel must learn to live with thy neighbour. Make Peace not wAr. No one must use a very old book for claiming thy land. If thy WWIII breaks out no promised land for u.
Good joke!Who attacked Israel again and again?If the Arab armys dindt start a war in 1948 all Arabs from this time where still in Israel.
But the Arabs say to their “Brothers” that they should go for some weeks so the Arab bombs cnat kill them.After that they can came back and take the Jewish goods.
And dont forget:ALL Arab Countries where made by Brits and French…
And Israel was made by Truman.
No, made by G-d
yeah, we know, the juice only do righteousness and the British did all the bad stuff, set up the Emirs with the wood fetching franchise and gave the colonisers their idolatrous state entity.
the Lord G-d demands it.
When the Lord accepts a person’s ways, He will cause even his enemies to make peace with him.
זבִּרְצ֣וֹת יְ֖הוָה דַּרְכֵי־אִ֑ישׁ גַּם־א֜וֹיְבָ֗יו יַשְׁלִ֥ם אִתּֽוֹ:
When the Lord accepts a person’s ways, He will cause even his enemies to make peace with him:
He will appease [them] for him that they should make peace with him.
Better a little with righteousness than great revenues with injustice.
חטוֹב־מְ֖עַט בִּצְדָקָ֑ה מֵרֹ֥ב תְּ֜בוּא֗וֹת בְּלֹ֣א מִשְׁפָּֽט:
How did you arrive at that strange conclusion? If you hadn’t noticed, Israel is under siege and has been for years. It can live with ANY neighbor as long as they don’t want to destroy it.
“Me think Israel must learn to live with thy neighbour. Make Peace not wAr.”
@Kriss,
Just out of curiosity, have you tried communicating that concept to any of Israel’s neighbors such as Syria, Lebanon or Gaza or even to such “neighborly organizations” like Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, ISSIS or the Al-Aksa Maurters Brigade before you singled out Israel?
Isn’t it nice, Kriss, to live so far away from all of this and still be able to make a comment like that?
“If thy WWIII breaks out no promised land for u.”
Quite the opposite…the borders will be expanded.
HEAR, HEAR!!!
You need to listen to very old book. Only it can save your life and soul.
Taking into account that one nation claims to be god-chosen I don’t think this old book will give anything useful
no the neighbours have to stop attacking Israel in the name of that primitive religion !!
Wow, you sound like Grover from Sesame Street.
Me think you no think. Since 1948 people have denied ireal the right to exist. Anyother cou try would have destroyed their enemies by now. Thise who bless isreal will be blessed, those who curse isreal will be cursed. Lets see if your idea or that one cones true……
Eternal Book not old
You defy the WORD of Israel’s G-D fool
& you imply with rediculous audacity that Israel is the obstacle to peace..
Now that’s really Rediculous
Let America try, their destroyers, stealth aircrafts ,frigates , aircraft carriers would be destroyed this is Russia. almost two weeks now a Russian general gave the warning directly to American general Dunford. America quenched and didn’t attack. America has been attacking 1000th grade military with rag-tag and kalashnikov rifles without even a 15th century cannon mounted on dugout cannoe.
You must be a comedian,we wiped Putins forces out twice this month ,,The Russians couldn’t respond because they don’t have the capability Russia is a mouse
Russia won’t fight you in Syria, you’re right, but you have no strategic depth and no forces for occupation. Your strength is only to sit still. Also, your ability to do the strike is being eroded day by day. Soon Lebanon’s airspace will be denied to you.
None of us, nobody here knows anything. Its guessing and wishful thinking.
Only because Trump is a traitor.
Israel needs a lesson
Not from you, donkey Ali !
The “lesson” you speak of will probably end your pathetic life as you know it. Once these big players start attacking each other, it is anyone’s best guess whether we even have Internet and GPS anymore. Believe me, you don’t want Israel to get a “lesson”, what comes later will definitely be worse.
That’s ok they still need a lesson
“That’s ok they still need a lesson”
@Ali,
It seems you still have not learned from all of the lessons YOU have received so far, Ali!
u european and north american have learnt from ur fathers and mothers only a single word ‘fuck’. everything in this world is ‘fuck’ near u people.
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
Would not be very wise to incite WW III, might be your own downfall!
I agree. US and Israel must take out its enemies now. Syria is a dung heap propped up by the devious Russkies. Putin wants to start WWIII. Better sooner than later. Russia is meddling and has always been the enemy of America and Israel. Game on…
attack today the rubish russian base and assad the killer dictator
Yes, attack and die. The more will be gone, better for this world. Dumb idiot should be gone
Isaiah 17:1-2
if russia is jamming israeli strategic communications inside of israel, then that is an act of war perpetrated against israel,by the Russian bear!. i think that the greasy bully of a Russian bear will find that the tiny mouse, the bear tries to put in the corner, that tiny mouse will jump forward suddenly and bite the throat of the big, smelly, greasy bully of a bear. the tiny mouse will rip out the throat of the bear.
I think Russia had a plan for the KARS contract…Russia want that Turkey will get into wars and in 2021 when the contract must be renewed Russia will say NO!What does that mean?That mean that Turkey must give back a big piece to Armenia!A really big piece!
YESHAYA 28…do not scorn, lest your pains become strong, for a complete destruction have I heard from the Lord God of Hosts upon the entire land.
30…Therefore, so said the Holy One of Israel, “Because you have despised this matter, and you have put your trust in oppression and a perverse one, and you have relied upon it.
Therefore, this iniquity shall be to you as a breach of a falling [wall], revealed in a fortified wall, whose breach will come suddenly.”
And He shall break it like the breaking of a potter’s jug, crushed without pity, and in its crushing shall not be found a shard, to scoop fire from a hearth, or to scoop water from a cistern.
What kind of humans being write, attack and kill? You dont know not only you but your family is going to die? The God kingdom is going to replace the dirt of earth an all the corrups economic, political and social entities.
Daniel 2.28, 44
Exactly. . . those who work wickedness are built up. Yea, they tempt God, and they have, nevertheless, escaped…[however]… the sun comes, glowing like a furnace, and all the audacious sinners and all the perpetrators of wickedness will be stubble. And the sun that comes shall burn them up so that it will leave them neither root nor branch, says the Lord of Hosts….And the sun of mercy shall rise with healing in its wings for you who fear My Name. Then will you go forth and be fat as fatted calves.
The Armagedon is going to be the God s cleaning mop to get earth ready for paradise and nobody think and act like ¨attack and kill¨ will be permitted to enter in it.
Fully agree with that
God is the creator of all energies, waves, particles, and is the cause of thoughts, words, actions whether you agree or not. People understood this in the past, do in the present, and will in the future. Good will overcome evil.
@ What’s in a name?
Baal hakochos kulam, machshavah, dibbur and maaseh, eh? 😉 Keep up the good work brother!
Meanwhile six weeks no strikes inside Syria.Looks like the northern arena is quiet for the time being.Or is something brewing?
Russia is fanning war hysteria mostly for the home usage, and to cover her own and Iran’s trucks. In regard to super jamming station on MI-8. Somebody with very approximate understanding of the matter, understands that jamming equipment is emitting electromagnetic waves easily detectable by SIGNIT, like say radio and radar installations. What could be detected easily could be eliminated by any radar seeking missile.
What makes Putin think that he can predict when the attack comes pure arrogance and the usual stupidity,The US has made it clear over the last month twice attacking Kremlin controlled forces and wiping them out that they are not at all intimidated by Russia or listening ,The Kremlin should pack its bags and leave while it still can,otherwise its dozen aircraft and scrap navel fleet will bot be there to evacuate them when they run away with there tails between there legs
“The Kremlin should pack its bags and leave while it still can,otherwise its dozen aircraft and scrap navel fleet will bot be there to evacuate them when they run away with there tails between there legs”
@commie killer,
I, for one, would just love to see all of that happen———and may it happen soon!
We have a specially developed missile specifically to target this weapon dream on Putin Rychag-AV active jamming station not to mention it wont work countermeasures were long built in to all top tier NATO forces equipment,Nor does it pose a problem for Israel ,,Debka often prints speculative tripe about US capability’s but actually know sweet FA about them
that is why all of your tomahawks fell into the sea
If anyone knows what they might expect to face from the enemy – its Israel. Dont be surprised if they have a few “surprises” themselves. For this fight is for their homeland – not some imperialist expedition that russia, iran and even the USA has embarked on…many years of planning by Israel… waiting for the unfortunate days ahead… to try and survive. People are being stupid; this is not going to be a bloody picnic.
Do the Russians know that Obama, is no longer President? Furthermore, Bolton , is the head of the NSA. Keep hitting the Russians and eventually, they will leave.
Bolton, that one will decide not much , it is General Mattis with final word, not a Bolton to talk on serious war issues

And when that day comes, we’ll get to see who actually does it.
you people really are a danger to the whole world…….no joke……
“you people”? who exactly do you mean? the fools posting comments on this website are mostly evangelical christians, who love misquoting the bible, and who don’t seem to have day jobs…
What Russia also said is that it would hit the source of where those missiles were fired from.
That makes the US Carrier groups and Israeli and Jordanian airforce bases fair targets if they are used.
Now lets see what happens.

@Neil,
Reality is: Russia will TRY to hit the source of where those missiles were fired from (assuming they have anything left to hit back with).
Keep in mind that although Russia has advanced its military technology, we and our allies have done that too.
So———stay tuned!
Indeed.Let’s see if anything happen at all.
Whenever Syria gains ground against rebels, the US builds up a chemical case against Assad. And Turkey was smuggling chemical components for Isis not long ago.

It’s so funny to see here some guys who really think that Russia will be involved in a fight with US:))) guys, Russia has no means nor the equipment to stage an attach on US fleet or army. The reality inside Russia is so much different then it seems from outside. Russia and specially Putin and his crew, will never risk all the money and assets in the US and Western Banks:) This is just the Russian propaganda and internet trolls, to suggest all the Russian military might.
Here, you have also some people working for Moscow, for small salary, because Russia is not able to pay anything. Economy is broke. Russian people don’t really support Putin, don’t judge from the election results which were faked. So relax, Russia is no threat right now.
Looks like massive disinformation. The USSR is basically claiming that they have the perfect umbrella!!!!!
If Ukraine rebels can crack the communications of this top secret Nu-Soviet weapon, I’m pretty sure the Americans and the Israelis can as well. https://informnapalm.org/en/radio-intercept-russian-mi-8mtpr-1-electronic-warfare-helicopter-crimea-audio/
It is unfortunate in Syria that the U.S. through its inaction and action in some areas especially starting with the Obama administration has resulted in the Syrian opposition losing to Russia, Iran and its so called Resistance Axis. What the U.S. does and does not do in Syria affects what happens there just as much or even more than the combined Russian, Iranian and Shiite militant forces there as follows:
1) The release of billions of dollars to Iran for the nuclear deal by the U.S. has resulted in Iran better financing, supplying and increasing the numbers of IRGC, AQ, Hezbollah, Iraqi, Afghan and Pakistani Shiite terrorist militias and militants in Syria. This money has also helped Iran pay Russia as well for their air force in Syria. Iran observed that when the ground Shiite militants were having trouble taking Ramadi in Iraq from ISIS, the U.S. air force made a difference in turning the tide there. This led to Iran getting the Russian air force later involved in Syria. After Saddam Hussein used scuds in 1991 somewhat effectively against Israel, Iran started a missile program and started to add them to Hezbollah’s arsenal against Israel as their main weapon.
2) The sole focus for several years of the U.S. on only directly fighting ISIS in Syria and Iraq has resulted in the decimation of ISIS and the strengthening of Iran and its allies in Syria and Iraq since instead of focusing on ISIS, which the U.S. was already doing, Iran and its allies were free to focus on the Syrian opposition instead. If Iran and its allies were left without any U.S. help to deal with ISIS, ISIS would have been a very formidable adversary against them. Since Obama decided to go after ISIS at all costs, the Iranians were handed an advantage that they have been exploiting ever since. It is only recently after ISIS has been greatly weakened that Iran and its allies have moved against ISIS in order to get as much territory as possible that ISIS had. Even after the Obama administration was implored at the end of last year to just bomb the Ithriya-Khanasser road to make it impassible since it was the only Assad regime link to the city of Aleppo, this was ignored which resulted in all of Aleppo falling to them.
3) The U.S. refusal to arm the Syrian opposition with the heavy weapons that they need to offset the advantages that Assad and his Russia and Iranian allies have of being able to obtain almost any and every kind of weapon which they have already used against the Syrian opposition. The advantage that Assad and his allies have is air power which means that the Syrian opposition needs game changing weapons like MANPADS to deal with helicopters that keep dropping barrel bombs and other weapons which have been banned by the U.N. Iran keeps nothing from Hezbollah so why should anyone else keep anything from those fighting against Hezbollah?
4) The U.S. arming of the Lebanese Army which throughout all of this has been Hezbollah’s steadfast ally in Lebanon. The Lebanese army has been making sure that no armed groups opposed to Hezbollah get to attack it in Lebanon. Thus, since most of Hezbollah is away fighting in Syria for Assad which is against the Taif Agreement that the Lebanese government signed of not getting involved in wars in other countries, the Lebanese army is protecting Hezbollah’s back and turning a blind eye to its excursions in Syria which go against this agreement. Nasrallah maintains that using the Lebanese army helps to maintain Hezbollah’s interests in a neutral non-sectarian appearing mask that helps to cover up its real pro-Hezbollah sectarian agenda in Lebanon.
5) The U.S. has been paying for a lot of food and medical aid that is airlifted and dropped into Deir Ezzor which is mostly used by the Syrian army garrison that is surrounded by ISIS there. This has allowed the Syrian army to control parts of Deir Ezzor and has also made it possible for Assad and his allies to focus on this city as their primary objective currently to link up with this garrison that has survived thanks to U.S. help. This is in contrast to Assad and his Iranian and Russian allies who have prevented food and medicines from reaching opposition areas by their siege and starve methods that they have been using.
Given all of the above, if nothing changes in these areas to the advantage of the Syrian opposition, as mostly through changes in U.S. policy, the Iranian enemy is going to take more advantage.
It is understandable now that this was all part of the preparation for Assad to begin WMD attacks. If he uses WMD he can kill the population with less damage to his country’s infrastructure. What a fool.
