In a rare media apperance Head of #Russia's Foreign Intelligence (SVR) Sergey Naryshkin said his Service collecting info on may be behind attacks on #SaudiAramco Saudi oil refineries but this far has no "ultimate conclusions" thus "cannot make any conclusions" for now.
Meanwhile @mod_russia doubles down on criticism of #US air-defences for #Saudis.
High-level official told #Russia/n media 2day that #Moscow knows Saudi northern border protected by 88 Patriots (36 are PAC-2, 52 PAC-3s) + 3 American destroyers armed w 100 SM-2 missiles in the Gulf
@mod_russia The official continued: "The question is how this powerful air-defense system could have missed dozen of drones & cruise missiles? One reason only: Well-advertised American systems don't meet the stated technical characteristics & can't deal w/ these types of threats."
@mod_russia .@mod_russia official: @SecPompeo's explanation that even the best air-defences sometimes fail could have been true if there was one Patriot that was directly coverign the facilities attacked but there were a dozen of them"
@mod_russia @SecPompeo A few memes on the issue around Russian blogosphere but this been my fav this far feat. FBI investigators Mulder and Scully from the epic 90 series "The X-files".
The caption says "When you are trying to figure out what the Saudis spend their military budget on"
