Russian military commented on the rapprochement of aircraft of the VKS and the US Air Force in Syria

The US Air Force should not shift the responsibility for bringing their aircraft to a Russian Su-35 fighter jet in Syria, reports RIA News statement by the representative of the Ministry of Defense Igor Konashenkov.

The general recalled that “on October 17, being in the airspace east of the city of Deir ez-Zor, the crew of the American E-3 AWACS long-range radar detection aircraft decreased almost 1 kilometer from the altitude and dangerously approached less than 500 m in violation of flight safety rules to the Russian fighter Su-35 ".

“We are surprised by the next attempts of the American military command to shift the responsibility for bringing the American aircraft closer to the Su-35 fighter on the Russian Aerospace Force,” - said Konashenkov.

He stressed that "in accordance with the Russian-American agreements, the command of the Russian Aerospace Forces at the Khmeimim airbase informed the American colleagues in advance about the upcoming Su-35 flight in the area with an exact indication of the flight altitude (flight level)."

“After the E-3 AWACS came together with the Russian fighter, the command of the Russian Aerospace Forces at Khmeimim air base promptly contacted their American colleagues and demanded clarification on the incident. The impression of the stupor of the American pilots from the sight of Russian fighters in the vicinity is, in principle, clear to us. However, they would recommend them not to try to throw everything in Russia out of habit, but to control themselves. Yes, and the wheels of their aircraft, too, " - said the representative of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

“In general, this fact has proved that a sufficiently effective interaction has been established between Russian and American pilots in Syria to avoid such incidents in the future,” he noted.

The general also said that "representatives of the US Air Force Command apologized for the incident and promised to carry out appropriate work with the pilots to prevent similar situations in the future."

Earlier, American General Jeff Harrigan said that the aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces flew in dangerous proximity to the US Air Force aircraft in eastern Syria.

And there is nothing to comment here. Those who violate the border of the Russian Federation must be shot down and the Russian Air Force is doing the right thing, which intercepts and accompanies all suspicious foreign aircraft.

[The black]

According to international laws, there should not be American aircraft in Syria at all, but no law has been written for criminals

"US Air Force Command apologizes for the incident

It would be better if the American empire apologized to the countries it brought "democracy" to.

It's okay to ventilate the cockpit, change the upholstery of the pilot seats. And you can go back to heaven!

Colleague, I agree with you 100%, but it was in Syria, and there it is not so simple.

[OLD FART]

USA apologized ... We accepted, but next time, anything can happen!

You don’t even have time to understand ..... WHO?

Provoked, wrote down the "portrait", took off the characteristics. The usual "tag" flyers. But it is, of course, ridiculous when they say that such a fool makes dangerous maneuvers near a fighter. Our pilot managed to take a nap while he was approaching him.

[Mr. Fun]

I support! Where else will the Americans be able to “set fire to” our Su-35. And then there is such a chance, why not take advantage. Where else could they get so close to him? All this is not casual. Nothing of this "scale" is done just like that.

And where did you see the border of the Russian Federation in Syria ???? Maybe explain.
Russian Air Force ???? -

The aerospace forces of the Russian Federation were formed by combining the Air Force and the Aerospace Defense Forces.

On August 3, 2015, during a conference call, the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Army General S. Shoigu stated [7] [8]:

“The formation of a videoconferencing system by combining the Air Force and the Aerospace Defense Forces is the best option for improving the country's aerospace defense system. This allows, first of all, to concentrate in one hand all responsibility for the formation of a military-technical policy for the development of troops that will solve problems in the aerospace sphere, secondly, through closer integration, increase the effectiveness of their use, and thirdly, to ensure progressive development of the country's aerospace defense system. ”

I would also add that the airspace around Deir ez-Zor is the territory of an INDEPENDENT state and the Syrian leadership did not give the green light to the passage of the Avascs and other Pendos intelligence reconnaissance.

[raid14]

This rapprochement of the E-3 AWACS with our SU-35 is a sneaky attempt to "enlighten" the aircraft and the pilot with its radar. Who served on the radar will understand.

[sabakina]

In one conversation (long time ago), they said that for the sake of a joke they sent a radar beam to the ground. He completely burned the grass.

That's about this and the conversation

A pound is too far for "highlighting". Rather Irbis consider

[Masya masya]

Impression to the point of stupor of American pilots from the sight of nearby Russian fighter jets in principle is clear to us.

And in general, sit on the ground ... Then the stupor can be avoided ...

[rotmistr60]

Impression to a state of stupor American pilots on the type of nearby Russian fighter jets, in principle, we understand

That apologized is already good. But the state of the stupor is understandable. After the Vietnam (and before this Korean) war, they did not fight in the air with our pilots. The old generation is gone, and the young are bold only when the enemy’s planes are not nearby.

[Sagittarius]

In general, the American aggressors have nothing to do in the Syrian sky, to drive them out of there with a filthy broom.

[aszzz888]

Another provocation of meriticosia. What if the Russians ...!

[Amurets]

However, they would be recommended in the future not to try to blame everything on Russia out of habit, but to control themselves. And the steering wheels of their aircraft too, ”said the representative of the Russian Defense Ministry.

From Vietnamese tales: After a V-750 rocket hit a plane, it fell apart in the air, but the American pilot descending by parachute, honestly carrying out his duty, held the helm tight in his hands, not realizing that the flight was already over.

[Boa kaa]

the crew of the American E-3 AWACS AWACS, in violation of safety rules, decreased by almost 1 kilometer from its altitude and dangerously approached a distance of less than 500 m from the Russian Su-35 fighter. ”

Lawless!
Changing the echelon in the skies of a belligerent country, knowing that a Russian fighter plane may be nearby, is a prerequisite for the new "flight KL-007" of the Korean airline!
Scoundrels! and liars!
Themselves mischievous, but tried to blame the bad Russians ... Although in hot pursuit were caught by the hand. But after a week - everything was different! These evil Russians "dangerously approached our peacefully flying white-winged, paramilitary" only flying radar !!! Well, straight white Dove Picasso!
And with such double standards, these carriers of shit democracy still claim to be the moral leaders of mankind !?
Therefore, one wants to cry out to the Lord:
"Well, when will Yellowstone give them what they deserve !!!"

[Banishing liberoids]

Enough to humiliate yourself in front of these striped kami - it would be better if they shot down this fucking avax, and they would have declared that he had shot himself down in a moronic UN and it’s not such a lie, they believe.

[prohorov]

The Americans are not mistaken, the reconnaissance plane specially flew in and became close to our aircraft in order to remove the technical characteristics. And the fact that they accused us of a dangerous rapprochement is that they always make fun of it because they consider us to be messy people and vines.

[awg75]

as in an anecdote with a road roller driver, to whom the traffic policeman says: "Now tell me how you overtook, how you cut ..." !!!

[voyaka uh]

"E-3 AWACS in violation of flight safety rules dropped almost 1 kilometer from
occupied altitude and dangerously approached a distance of less than 500 m from the Russian Su-35 fighter. ”

Avax attacked the Su-35!
An unprecedented event in the history of jet aircraft.
The American went on a ram ...

For such cases, it would be nice to send the "Cutter" to Syria. And something tells me that such a case with Avax is not the last, and therefore I will not be surprised at all if the "Chopper" appears in the sky of Syria.

[Awaz]

but Avax violated the border of a sovereign state, and Su there is legally located and the actions of AWACS were a violation of all possible norms and rules of international flights. So 3,14ndos should just be glad that they did not touch them. I do not understand the authorities of the Russian Federation. We must start to drive this shusher from the borders of Syria ..

[Stiletto_711]

Or maybe the pilot is an American of Japanese descent?

[alexmach]

So I guess they probed it with a radar somehow in more detail ...

[Awaz]

to shoot down not to shoot down, but at least an imitation of the attack had to be done ... because you don’t violate the borders of a sovereign state

[Suhow]

an incomprehensible howl of "partners", I wanted to copy the novelty of the Russian Air Force, so keep quiet, especially in such proximity it turned out. And to the Russian pilots +.
