The American, British and French numbers are out.

"At a Pentagon briefing on Saturday, Lt Gen Kenneth McKenzie listed the three targets that had been struck in a "precise, overwhelming and effective" manner:

The Barzah chemical weapons research and development centre near Damascus was hit by 76 missiles, 57 of them Tomahawk cruise missiles, and "destroyed".

The Him Shinshar chemical weapons storage facility near Homs was hit by 22 missiles - nine US Tomahawks, eight British Storm Shadows and five naval cruise missiles and two Scalp cruise missiles launched by France.

The Him Shinshar chemical weapons bunker facility near Homs was targeted with seven Scalp missiles and was "successfully hit".

Gen McKenzie said the "initial indications are that we accomplished the military objectives without interference from Syria"."

Doesn't sound like many were stopped. It sounds like there were 105 missiles and at least 99 (and probably all) of them hit their target (only the Homs Him Shinshar bunker numbers are unclear).

Ah. It sounds like some missile were knocked out. Syria says 13. Russia says 71 out of 103.

The Russian number is an advertisement for sales of their systems, so untrustworthy just like everything else that comes from Putin's information system.

I am sure the US will provide more detail soon enough. Both sides will now know a bit more about how the latest missiles fare against this missile protection system.
