Syria's war suddenly took a dramatic turn. Now in this battlefield especially the United States and Russia. The United States has threatened to launch a missile attack in Syria. Russia has ruled that US missiles will be overthrown In such a context, a question comes forward, what can Russia do to stop the US missile attack in Syria?
One year ago, the United States launched the Tomahawk cruise missile attack in an airfield in Syria in April 2017. It damaged the airfield with several fighter aircraft, equipment. The United States took that step on the chemical attack against the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad regime. Assad did not run chemical attacks on his own people in the future, giving the message was the goal of US President Donald Trump.
A year later, the Assad regime has been accused of chemical attacks. Last weekend, there are alleged chemical attacks in the city of Duma in eastern Guouta rebel-controlled territory. It killed many people. The United States and its allies have blamed the Assad government and its ally Russia for the chemical attack. But Damascus and Moscow have denied this accusation.
In response to the incident, the United States threatened to launch a missile attack. Russia is not less They said it would be overthrown when the missiles came to Syria.
The war has been going on for a long time in Syria. The war situation has become complicated by the participation of different parties, including the superpower, regional forces. At the request of the Assad regime, the Allied country Russia started deploying troops in Syria in 2015. The aim is to sustain the Assad regime. Meanwhile, the IS spread abroad in Syria with the opportunity of civil war. They take over a large part of the country. The US-led military alliance launched an anti-IS campaign in Syria. Damascus declares US intervention in Syria illegal. But the United States continues their work without taking into account this. Meanwhile, in the face of the fall of the United States, Russia, and multilateral forces, Syria is now in the face of IS. Due to this, there was a case of the alleged gas attack in Duma. Now the situation is that the fear of the Third World War is centered around Syria.
Last year, the United States alone carried out a series of missile attacks in Syria. But now they are in touch with allies including France, UK, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, about the attacks.
France says there is evidence for the gas attack of Assad forces in Dumma. They give strong answers to Syria.
The UK cabinet has opted for Syria's attack Prime Minister Theresa May said her government agreed on the need to take action against the Assad regime to prevent the use of chemical weapons in Syria. The United Kingdom will play a key role in the alliance's alliance.
The United States has prepared two warships, warships and submarines designed by the Tomahawk cruise missile to carry out attacks in Syria. Now waiting for the instruction.
Russia and Syria's defense forces are in the most alert in terms of possible attacks on the United States and its allies. Russia says that if any US missile arrives in Syria, they will be overthrown. Not only that, a counter-answer will also be given.
Russian ambassador to Lebanon said the US missile launch space will be broken if the attack is carried out.
Curiously, many are working on whether Russia has the capability to subdue US missiles.
Russia has been working for modernizing its armies for a long time. They have been competing with the United States in the arms race. The United States publicly acknowledged that Russia is the main threat to their defense.
According to a defense expert, Newsweek said in a report that Russia has been working for a long time in relation to the threats of US cruise missiles and other advanced weapons. Recently the country's activities have increased in the recent past.
Douglas Barry, a defense expert of the UK-based International Institute for Strategic Studies, believes that Russia has the capability to stop US missile. But doing this work in Syria would not be easy for them.
Among the military systems capable of working cruise missiles, MiG-31 Foxhound interceptor aircraft, Surface-to-air missile system SA-21 and SA-22 are among the major.
As part of the presence of the Russian army, the SA-21 and SA-22 systems are deployed in Syria.
According to defense expert Douglas Barry, the presence of Russia in Syria is relatively limited. That's a challenge for them.
