#3 test a new short-range ballistic missile developed cobbled together by the three countries

Figuring on the engineering expertise exhibited by these three, this seemed to be a fairer rendering of an explanation.

#4 would've been interesting if it made it to Turkey and killed civilians. Would they have blamed the PKK? Marsh gas? Jooos?

#11 Oh to be a fly on the wall (who could understand the language of Syria) when the locals are discussing how a gas leak could fall on them from above.
