http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324059704578471453006383248.htmlAccording to an analysis by the U.S. military's Joint Staff, Syrian air defenses are nearly five times more sophisticated than what existed in Libya before the NATO launched its air campaign there in 2011. Syrian air defenses are about 10 times more sophisticated than the system the U.S. and its allies faced in Serbia.
Not at all, Syria doesn't have S-300.
Hell, even the Belgians flew sorties in Libya.Didn't wait in Libya, don't need to wait in Syria.
Rafale was the only aircraft to enter Libya before the TLAM strikes, your attempts to berate Rafale are a failure. Nothing Syria has can defeat SPECTRA, much less anything Gaddafi had.Hell, even the Belgians flew sorties in Libya.
probably true.such mission will add another badge to rafaleRafale was the only aircraft to enter Libya before the TLAM strikes, your attempts to berate Rafale are a failure. Nothing Syria has can defeat SPECTRA, much less anything Gaddafi had.
do you think that these ships come anywhere near to syria??no wayI think the Charles De Gaul has been dispatched to the Med. The AC is just out of the repairs. Wonder if the Russians have provided Syria with anti shipping missiles?
Till this one is Not Confirmed By French Officials ..But Options are availableI think the Charles De Gaul has been dispatched to the Med. The AC is just out of the repairs. Wonder if the Russians have provided Syria with anti shipping missiles?
According to a source close to the defense minister, the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle will soon reach the "Mediterranean theater somewhere between Cyprus and Syria." The same source indicates that "the decision was made, even if it is not official yet."
The aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle to be sent to Syrian coast?It is presently docked and received no order," says Colonel Gilles Jarron, spokesman of the Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces who denies that such a decision has been taken
CdG is still in Toulon but is preparing to make way. Russia recently provided Yakhont ASMs so Aster equipped escorts will be necessary for the French Battle Group.I think the Charles De Gaul has been dispatched to the Med.

Israel Destroyed it ..!!CdG is still in Toulon but is preparing to make way. Russia recently provided Yakhont ASMs so Aster equipped escorts will be necessary for the French Battle Group.
hope it doesnt happen, but if an ASM does do some damge to an AC, it will change a lot of perceptions regarding carriers as a force projectorCdG is still in Toulon but is preparing to make way.

The Aviationist » Operation Odyssey Dawn explained (Day 1)On the other side it must be noted that, according to the most informed sources, any SAM sites in the Benghazi area are not believed to be operational and, MANPADs aside, real threats to the French fighters were extremely limited in that area. For this reason, without much trouble a French attack plane (Mirage 2000D or Rafale) fired the first shot of Operation Odyssey Dawn at 14.45Z (using either a GBU-12 laser guided bomb or a AASM air-to-ground guided weapon).
Assad moved them before the strike...Israel Destroyed it ..!!
