<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nThe Washington Post reports that some of the missiles that Russia was shooting at Syrian rebels from their ships in the Caspian Sea fell short and hit Iran instead;<\/p>\n
Reports on Iranian TV indicated that an \u201cunidentified flying object\u201d had crashed and exploded in a village near near the Iranian city of Takab. A number of cows were killed in the ensuing blast. <\/p>\n
While it is unclear what made the missiles crash, videos posted on social media showed them flying overhead at low altitude. While it is common for cruise missiles to fly low (to avoid radar detection), it can make traversing mountainous terrain perilous.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Funny though, I don’t expect to hear any apology coming from the Russians, nor do i expect them to cease their use of missiles. If I’m not mistaken, this is the first time they’ve employed cruise missiles in actual warfare.<\/p>\n
The Russian Defense Ministry in Wednesday\u2019s statement however, said that the new Kalibr-NK cruise missiles all hit within nine feet of their intended targets. The strikes landed in Raqqa, Idlib and Aleppo provinces, and Russian officials said they destroyed Islamic State positions, including training camps and ammunition depots.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Well, at least their intentions were good. The New York Times<\/a> says that 4 of the 26 missiles fired didn’t make it out of Iranian air space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
