"Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and "smart!" You shouldn't be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills his people and enjoys it!" Trump tweeted.

Trump's tweet follows Russian Ambassador to Lebanon Alexander Zasypkin told Hezbollah's al-Manar TV that "If there is a strike by the Americans, then... the missiles will be downed and even the sources from which the missiles were fired."

When the US last struck Syria over it's alleged chemical weapons attack in April 2017, it used US Navy guided-missile destroyers to launch the missiles.
