DYNAMIC THEATER”
Why have
Washington and its regional allies failed to overthrow the Syrian government?
The importance of developing optimal defenses against sophisticated attacks

The so-called “civil war in Syria” has been
going on for ten uninterrupted years of aggression and plots originating in the
West. Much blood of innocent civilians has flowed from the first moments of
that lie disguised as popular demonstrations behind which hid cells of
murderers and agitators (many of them transferred from Libya) recruited by the
Saudi, Qatari and Turkish intelligence services that at the at the same time
they responded (and still do) to directives from the CIA and British MI-6.
Trying to create the same
conditions of insecurity and mistrust that they had installed in Iraq and
Libya, these dark actors tried to make their actions swift and effective with
an expectation of no more than a few months of survival of the Bashar Al Assad
government. If it fell into that term, the puppets who had taken power (and who
would respond to Washington), would have started a campaign of damage control
and media cover-up to cover up all the dirty operations carried out by their
pseudo-Islamist henchmen of gangs like “Jabbat Al Nusrah ”,“Al Qaeda” and “Daesh”.
With that result, the Western media headlines would have boasted of the “arrival
of democracy” and the like.
But the plans did not
materialize as expected and worse, Russia's intervention on the ground ended up
destroying their expectations of an instant victory. Even more; Erdogan's
attempt to scare Putin into retracting his intervention (with the downing of
the SU-24) was not only unsuccessful but also counterproductive. This in turn
neutralized the operations of the mercenary gangs and this was capitalized on by
the Syrian Arab Army to further push these elements that were sneaking through
the porous borders of Turkey, Iraq, Jordan and the Israeli-controlled “Golan
Heights”.
At the same time, but on
another level, these same Western conspirators, certainly powerless due to the
resounding failures that their proxies (among them Kurdish) suffered due to the
actions of a reorganized Syrian army with the lethal support of the Russian
aerospace force, began to engineer dirty new tactics in order to try to
discourage the Russians. First they tried to blame Al Assad for chemical
attacks and show him to the world as a war criminal; this did not work and
Russia sustained its support. Before long, attacks on Russian officials in
Damascus tried to intimidate Putin, but to no avail. It was thus that we saw
how mysterious Drones armed with hardware items launched attacks by throwing
grenades on the Jmeimin base and even on the port of Tartus. Added to this, the
cunning Israeli attacks that claimed, among other lives, the lives of several
Russian soldiers and officers in an attack on September 23, 2018, filled the
patience of the Russian government. Although Tel Aviv immediately rushed to the
Kremlin to apologize, Vladimir Putin -clearly fed up with these tricks-
was pragmatic and clear enough for Netanyahu to measure his forays.

From here we witnessed a
superlative upgrade of Syrian air defenses that were out of date with old
material dating from the Soviet era. The technical readjustments of Russian
engineers and their coordination with their advanced electronic warfare systems
made the Syrian skies a bad place for intruders and opportunists who support
terrorist gangs. From that moment on, strange things began to happen and
difficulties in western devices (such as GPS cut-off among other failures)
began to be reported with more continuity. Even in the air attack of last
February 26 against the Iraqi popular militias Al-Hashd Al-Sha'abi in
Syrian territory, electronic difficulties would have occurred in the missiles
launched as if they had been illuminated by some kind of invisible ray that
destabilized them. Does the Arab resistance have reverse technology acquired
from the TomaHawk captured after the unsuccessful US attacks?
In this sense, a specialized
publication in “The National Interest” ensures that Russia managed to get hold
of exponents of these missiles that did not explode and after developing all
the electronic countermeasures to cancel them, they shared them with their
partners and regional allies. If this is true, the Western failure is twofold,
since to the strictly military is added an impotence and political inefficiency
to deploy its imperialist geopolitics.
In this way, armed gangs
trained by “Western elements” (in places like “Al Tanf” and “Al Sham”) without
air cover were easy and lethal targets of Russian planes and helicopters, which
ended impunity with the one they counted on.
Donald Trump attempted a
trick by saying that he was withdrawing his special forces troops who were
illegally prowling northeast Syria while naval and air force planes launched
targeted attacks against positions of Syrian government forces and against their
Iranian, Iraqi and Lebanese allies. Likewise, they were not as effective as
they would have liked and the risks of an escalation with the Russians led to
more precautions. It was thus that Donald Trump opted for the remote attacks
with cruise missiles “TomaHawk”" that -according to his expectations
and his advisers- would terrorize the Syrians and give a clear message to
the Russians.
In April 2017, using highly
questionable and unproven excuses, he ordered the attack with 59 missiles
against the Syrian complex of “Al Shayrat”; the result was a total failure.
What had happened to most of those vectors that did not hit the mark? The
silence of the Pentagon was the answer.
In April 2018 Trump orders
another attack against Syria in which it will be supported by the French and
the British. They had previously warned the Russians to avoid an incident, but
this did not mean that they turned off their electronic defense systems. The
objectives sought are not achieved here either, being clear another tactical
and political failure for Washington.
After these attacks, certain
intelligence reports were learned that referred to the capture by the Syrians
of several of these TomaHawk that remained intact on the ground to be delivered
to the Russians who immediately sent them to Moscow where they were carefully
studied and deciphered their weaknesses. It is clear that the Syrian skies were
very well protected by some radioelectronic shield system that simply disables
the electronics of any device not authorized to darken the air.
Although the Pentagon and
intelligence deny that this has been possible, reality has shown and continues
to prove to be the answer to those facts and today it can be seen as the US
missiles and even the "Delilah" (CCD\IIR with GPS\INS) of their Israeli
allies, are successfully diverted and overridden by a mysterious invisible
force that their experts have not been able to decipher. Is it the new
capabilities of the REB System "Krasujah-4" or is it an improved
system unknown to the Americans?
In addition to this, there
are reported failures in the electronic systems of airplanes and helicopters
that endanger the lives of their pilots when they try to enter the Syrian
skies. In conclusion, it can be assured that Russia is a (long) step in
electronic warfare technology ahead of the Americans and their partners,
something to be commended by President Joe Biden and his advisers before
ordering another adventure against Syrian sovereignty.
