#2  Important military airport, installations near Damascus reportedly bombed

And what do the Russians have to say about this?

No sarc. This is something I've been concerned about since the Russians have thrown in their lot with Hezbollah.

#3 “it was almost certain” the explosion was due to IAF airstrikes carried out from Lebanese air space.

If I lived in Aleppo I would be interested in blowing up some munitions at a Syrian military airport.

#4 And what do the Russians have to say about this?

Based on the stuff that gets blown up, I get the impression that Russia and Israel have some sort of understanding.

#9 do you know who wrote the software for the Russian S-x00?

Like this S-300? (tip of the hat to our pal, Skidmark)

I've never seen an S-300 battery in action, but somehow I expected it to be somewhat longer ranged and less smokey.
