Russia Denies U.S. Claim that 4 Syria-bound Missiles Crashed in Iran
Russia's defense ministry denied a claim by a U.S. official Thursday that four Syria-bound Russian cruise missiles fired from the Caspian Sea had crashed in Iran.
"Any professional knows that during these operations we always fix the target before and after impact. All our cruise missiles hit their target," ministry spokesman General Igor Konashenkov said in a statement.
The U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the missiles landed in Iran on Wednesday, but did not provide details about where they might have landed or whether they caused any damage.

This reinforces the idea that Russian technology is far inferior to that of the West The irony that these missiles fell in Iran is hysterical. Too bad they did not slam into the houses of these odious Shiite mullahs who rule the country and finish them off.

How is this even a story? The source is so random and provides no verifiable info whatsoever. Might as well quote that other anonymous source who smokes chicha in the Bekaa and always has all these amazing scoops about Hezbollah
