I wonder if one of the posters here remembers a recent conversation on ARRSE where they pointed out that with the modern Russian AD system in Syria that (in a hypothetical scenario) no single cruise missile could get to a target from a sub or surface vessel and that any vessel foolish enough to try would be wiped out easily. Ranges of well over 150km were easily covered by the AD system and it would shoot down fighters, stealth aircraft or missiles.
Just as well this latest raid was real and not hypothetical.............the pretend TLAMs' wouldnt have stood a chance!
