Poll: Syrian Chemical Weapon Attack

[Devlish]

Just saw it confirmed that the Americans are going in

10 - 7 votes in favour.

that just clears the way for a resolution to the senate next week.

 

[elmuzzy66.]

Wonder if one of the converted ssbns is there with its silly payload of 120 cruise missles

 

[areksnumbr1sxylady]

Id have to agree, I can see cruisers being 'good' at point defense or protecting a target nearby but trying to intercept multiple missiles passing very low hundreds of miles to either side of you - I just cant see it happening.

Again nuisance... Some S series missiles have 400km range and coast of syria is about 1.5k km long so it would take 4 ships to completely close the Syrian coast...

Why do you fail so hard??

 

[Zefan]

Only 2 ships surely. 400km range = 800km coverage (unless the missiles can only fire one way, derp).

I see! I jumped to the wrong conclusion

eh???

Range is determined by drawing a circle with a ship at its centre, the circle radius is 400km....


What the hell Zefan.

Wow, that's pretty impressive, they have four of them each carrying 154 Tomahawks!

I see! I jumped to the wrong conclusion

I wouldnt retire that statement yet though, I suspect it'll be valid next week!

And what's the diameter of that circle in relation to it's radius....

 

[Zefan]

What the hell Zefan.

Yeah, radius = 400km but diameter would be 800km. As in, each ship would cover 800km.

 

[areksnumbr1sxylady]

Yeah, radius = 400km but diameter would be 800km. As in, each ship would cover 800km.

yeah I get it now

 

[StriderX]

Math with the Dons time.

Woohoo.

 

[Jokester]

Math with the Dons time.

Woohoo.

At least nobody picked up on my brain fart

 

[areksnumbr1sxylady]

Proves the point even further then, 2 Russian ships completely close off coast of syria...

But as I said earlier, you dont need S300/S400 to get involved to get those tomahawks down... Tor/tunguska/Pantsir would do the jobs just as well....

Damn getting those names right....

Nothing can circumvent my prying eyes

:edit: Ok back on topic

If youre going to be sensible, ill discuss with you.

The SA-N-6 Grumbles only have an effective range of 50 miles. Whats the variant you're referring to?

Speaking of circumvention which direction are the russian ships coming from?

Apparently the Moskva wont be there for another 10 days, so it may not matter. I imagine that will factor into US planning.

 

[The Running Man]

Mr Hagel said any US military strike on Syria would not be a mere "pin *****" but would reduce Syria's military capability.

Action for 60 days? It's got regime change all over it now.
