Russian Federation dispatches anti-aircraft missiles to Syria

Syria and nearly all Middle East countries receiving Russian armaments pay for arms supplies in full and on time, state weapons exporter Rosoboronexport CEO Anatoly Isaikin said on Thursday.

Bondarev did not explain to what country the surface-to-air missile locked on the Russian jet belonged.

Kartapolov also said Russian Federation and Israel, Syria’s neighbour to the southwest, were informing each other continually on the situation in Syrian air space to ensure “flight safety”.

The only reason for Eagles to be in-country, if you will, is because the Russian air force has shown up in numbers, deploying SU-30 air-to-air fighters at their newly constructed Syrian air base at Latakia. “Aviation is a different story”. “And we have to be ready for this”.

On Tuesday, Israeli Defense Minister Moshe “Boogie” Yaalon told reporters that during the us hosted air force exercise “Red Flag” this summer, Israeli pilots had been training with their Jordanian counterparts.

Moscow’s military force in Syria has grown to about 4,000 personnel, but this and more than a month of Russian air strikes have not led to pro-government forces making significant territorial gains, USA security officials and independent experts said.

“This test assured that the first time this mode of communication was used would not be during an unplanned encounter”, Pentagon spokesman Jeff Davis said.

USA intelligence sources on Wednesday alleged that Russian Federation has doubled the number of its troops in Syria to about 4,000.

Each operation is monitored from the Russian Air Force headquarters, and is video recorded to ward off accusations that Russian jets are bombing civilian facilities. The job of eliminating terrorists is made easier by the fact that they are now outside their fortified positions, where they were previously protected from artillery and tanks.

President Vladimir Putin dispatched Russian anti-aircraft missiles to Syria as a deterrent to Islamic State fighters intent on destroying his fighter jets.

There was no official United States confirmation of the joint drills.

It claims to be conducting strikes on Isis militants, but critics allege Russian Federation is primarily targeting anti-Assad rebels in order to prop up the dictator.
