Where did I say that? I stated that LAND based missiles with no antishipping capability are no threat. not that China had no sea based anti-ship missiles. try harder.Previously, you incorrectly claimed that China didn't even have any sea-launched SSMs. Now after being shown that they do, you're arguing that they're nothing special. But they have much greater range than the US', so there's that. It kinda seems like you're just moving on from one made-up argument to the next.
Everything that I posted is actually factual. Which says something about your naysaying, here. And, to be honest, your naysaying rationalizations show that you don't at-all know what you're talking about and are just bitter over some blunt truth that I posted.
To start with, Russia has only four S-400s in Syria, and they are only guarding Russia's assets at two naval ports which are a long way away from where other action has been taking place in Syria. Russia has said that their S-400 systems will only be used if their own assets become threatened - they don't belong to Syria and they won't be used for the Syrian government's purposes. When the US did its illegal strike on Syria in 2018, France/UK/US purposefully avoided the defensive perimeter of the S-400s in Syria. So, no, it isn't the least-bit surprising that they weren't used to down the illegal US cruise-missile strike on Syria, which wasn't targeting Russia and which didn't even enter within range of the S-400s. BTW, most of the missiles fired in that strike were downed by ancient Soviet-era defensive systems like the S-200. Some warheads, including a Tomahawk, were retrieved intact and given to Russia for research purposes - after they were paraded on a display for a bit.
And yet, you posted stats claiming a 400km range for the S-400, well within the engagement range of many of the missile strikes, considering the 4 batteries of S-400 can cover all of western Syria and much of the rest of the country, so no, The US didn't avoid the S-400 perimeter, Russia for whatever reason chose not to use them.
And no, the Syrian Air defense didn't shoot down 71 missiles, I've seen the sat photos of the impacts, and it's a lot more than 30. The Syrian air defense forces can't find their asses with both hands, they repeatedly miss Israeli missiles and aircraft.
No invasion of Ukraine? all those poorly disguised Russian soldiers in all those pictures were merely farmers on tractors then? all those social media posts from Russian soldiers in the invasion of Crimea and Donbass... you might believe that bullshit, but no one with a brain does.Israel took-out a Syrian Russian Pantsir S1 with an F-35. The Pantsir S1 doesn't have stealth-detection capability. But that still doesn't explain why it didn't react to to an F-35 with its weapons-out. The training and status of the Syrian crew for it have been questioned by Russia (and I make no assertion as to the truth of Russia's claim):
There literally was no invasion of Crimea or Ukraine by Russia. So, you claiming that there are distraction efforts from something that didn't happen is what's ludicrous.
As for your "fake youtube video" claim, it was acknowledged as real by the US state when assistant secretary of state Victoria Nuland, who is one of the two persons in the leaked phonecall between her and the US ambassador to Ukraine, apologized for saying "fuck the EU" in the conversation after she was condemned for it by US allies. So much for your conspiracy theory there.
