Russia can do nothing about this air strike in Syria.

Russia made a limited counterattack, and the Syrian government forces were able to intercept 20 missiles, thanks to the Russian army. Through various reports, it can be found that the Russian and Syrian government forces have a tacit cooperation.

April 14 According to foreign media reports, the United States and other countries launched military operations against Damascus, the Syrian capital. The Syrian government forces responded by intercepting more than 20 missiles.

Syria has no ability to intercept so many missiles. This must have been done with the help of Russia.

The air strikes launched by the United States this time mainly used warships and fighter jets to launch cruise missiles. Western weapons are basically the latest in service and relatively advanced; After seven years of bloody fighting, the military capabilities of the Syrian government forces are very limited. In fact, they can't intercept a large number of missile attacks in the west.

So how do Syrian government forces intercept a large number of Western missiles? There is only one answer. Russia provided intelligence support for the government forces, and the Russian radar system provided key information for the government forces, so the Syrian government forces had time to respond in time. According to the current situation, the Russian army has found the missile coming.

Russia has a limited number of S400, giving priority to ensuring Russian military bases.

Russia has three military bases in Syria, which are the key protection targets of the Russian army. The Russian army was already in a state of full readiness two days ago, and had long foreseen that the West would launch a military strike. Therefore, Russian warships left Hong Kong collectively to avoid western military strikes. However, the Russian air base has not been evacuated, and it plays a very important role in providing shelter for the Syrian army.

Therefore, it is these facilities that Russia S400 focuses on protecting. However, due to the limited number of S400, it is impossible to protect all Syrian military targets, and steel can only be used as the cutting edge. At the same time, many important military targets of Syrian government forces have already been transferred in advance and entered Russian military bases.

Russia's greatest intention at this time is to protect the effective strength and important weapons and equipment of the Syrian army.

Many people believe that it is the best choice for Russia to launch a counterattack immediately at this time. In fact, the United States, Britain and France in the west are in full swing. The Russian army now has limited capabilities and cannot fight hard with the West. At this time, Russia's counterattack is not only unfavorable to itself, but also unable to protect the Syrian government forces.

For the Russian army, the best choice is to ensure the safety of their military bases. The Russian military base will be built into a safe area to preserve the strength of the Syrian government forces. At present, Russia is doing this. The Russian army has repeatedly stressed that the west is not allowed to attack Russian military bases, otherwise Russia will use all means. At present, the western strike target is "precision strike" and really avoid Russian military bases. It shows that Russia's deterrence has played a certain role.

War is about strategy. If Russia's limited S400 intercepts all incoming missiles, the Russian military base will lose its guarantee. This not only made the Russian army lose its security, but also the Syrian government forces lost their shelter. Therefore, as long as the Russian army can protect the effective forces of the Syrian government forces, then Russia still has a great chance of winning.
