Hours after NATO agreed on Tuesday to send Patriot missiles to Turkey because of the crisis in Syria, Russia delivered its first shipment of Iskander missiles to Syria.
The superior Iskander can travel at hypersonic speed of over 1.3 miles per second (Mach 6-7) and has a range of over 280 miles with pinpoint accuracy of destroying targets with its 1,500-pound warhead, a nightmare for any missile defense system.
Reporting today, Mashregh said the handover occurred when Russian naval logistic vessels docked at Tartus in Syria.
The Iskandar is a surface-to-surface missile that no missile defense system can trace or destroy, Mashregh said. Russia had earlier threatened that should America put its missile defense system in Poland, it would retaliate by placing its Iskander missiles at Kaliningrad, its Baltic Sea port.

It appears that we are heading to what was once known as a “Mexican Standoff, however this stand off is not with the United States and Mexico, it is with the United States and Russia.
Did you miss the part that says “The Iskandar is a surface-to-surface missile that no missile defense system can trace or destroy.” “No missile defense system” includes the Patriot. There is no “Mexican standoff,” the Iskander cannot be stopped. Just what we needed in the hands of the Syrians. Some laughed when I said the Russians were not our friends—Anyone laughing now?

And we should be shocked that Russia is Arming them Not this American
Syria is Russia`s ally just like we are suppost to be Israels ally. Israel is at war we support them. Syria is at war so Russia supposts them There is no differance. Al Quida and assorted rebels are attacking a legal counrty. Like him or hate him Assade has the legal right to defend his country any way he can. He needs to just kill the rebels faster. Legally of course.
Ahhh…baby Russia is learning from America! How to make and sell armament and “assisting” to start more wars we can later get into keeping the warm machine alive.
