Zitat:Wer ist hier der Kriegstreiber Nr. 1 in dieser Region? Die Russen sind es zumindest nicht.
Noch nicht.
Ergänzend hier noch aus einem anderen Blog:

Zitat:This the first time Russia has launched cruise missiles from a warship platform against land targets in combat.
...
According to the available information, the frigate Dagestan, the corvettes Grad Sviyazhsk, Uglich and Veliki Ustyug are equipped with 2 × 4 UKSK Vertical Launch System cells for eight 3M-14T “Kalibr” missiles (NATO: SS-N-30A).
Hier mal eine Karte dazu:

Zitat:The SS-N-30A is, in many ways, a superior weapon - and more flexible weapon - than our TLAM. This should not be shocking. We have been complacently living off the hard work of the 1970s for awhile.
This actions by the Russians is significant.
Zitat:From a professional point of view, we should give a nice clap to our Russian Navy counterparts on their first operational use of their Kalibr family of impressive cruise missiles in such a short turnaround.
Huge PR, PSYOPS, INFO OPS act - and a great demonstration of the utility of projecting power at sea.
They learned from us well.
Firing over the Caspian Sea was genius. Out of left field - with a flight path over Iran, Iraq, and Kurdistan before doing the good work in Syria killing Islamic radicals.
Und hier noch was von den Kurden:
