Russia fired missiles into Syria directly from Russia? That's wild. Would you point me to a source where I can read more about (and/or see) that?

- paganel 6y agoAm on mobile, quickly found this news article from October 2015 [1]. The links are probably dead by now, but I remember seeing videos linked to from /r/SyrianCivilWar of said missiles flying over Iraq, like I mentioned, it was excellent propaganda material. Later edit: A news article from that same timestamp [2] of Iraq complaining that it hadn’t been warned by the Russians of the latter sending missiles flying over their heads. It also includes a video of the supposed launch. Later later edit: Here's a (short) Twitter video of one of those missiles flying over Northern Iraq [3] [1] https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-34465425 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-34465425 [2] https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/iraq-says-it-was-not-warned-about-russian-missiles-crossing-its-airspace/2015/10/09/bec6bb5c-6e8f-11e5-91eb-27ad15c2b723_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/iraq-says-it-was-not-wa...
