Because you go back to that airfield and look at some details. what you're seeing here are fortified bunkers, as you saw in that video, for holding these planes. there are at least 15 of them easily spotted around here. and as you saw in that video, they are big concrete structures that don't easily allow you to get a bomb inside of them. there's some belief it may take two or three cruise missiles to actually get in here and destroy an aircraft to make sure it was gone, even though these are very big missiles. so, command and control trying to hit the aircrafts, trying to actually break throu...

Tomahawk's failed and likely fell into the sea. about 20 syrian aircraft were destroyed at the shayrat air base, none of the syrian jets managed to take off inescapable for the missiles at the target. we are told there were no russian aircraft at the syrian airfield at the time of the strike. pentagon officials say they gave the russians when our heads up before the missiles hit the target in order to minimize casualties. also noteworthy, this strike was against fuel depots, ammunition storage and aircraft, making it difficult for assad redeem to launch another chemical weapons attack from thi...
