The Pentagon plans to increase the level of coordination when flying over Syria

23
Representatives of the US military command would like to agree with Russia on a higher level of security when flying in the sky over Syria, reports Interfax-AVN a message from The Washington Post.



We believe that another stage is needed, which will allow for negotiations to be held at a higher level, and we are ready to work out the question of what this stage should be.
said the commander of the Air Force in the Central Military Command of the US Armed Forces, Jeff Herrijin.

The general argued his words with the fact that “American military aircraft have to periodically turn away from Russian fighters”, and “the current level of coordination in accordance with the existing memorandum signed to avoid conflicts does not allow for a quick response to such incidents.”

At the same time, the newspaper reminds that the discussion of issues of coordination and cooperation of the two countries in the military field "is complicated by legislative acts adopted in the United States on the Ukrainian and Crimean issues."

In addition, earlier the head of the Pentagon, James Mattis, told the European allies in Brussels that "the United States is not ready at the present stage to cooperate at the military level with Russia."

        It seems that the mattresses are afraid that the Syrian Air Force or the Russian Air Force will insidiously attack the aircraft of Matrasia, which peacefully bomb the Syrian civilians.

      Pentagon plans to increase coordination

      This means the intensity of American aircraft departures will be increased, probably, they will trample to Racca.

      They there, in the Pentagon, cannot agree with themselves.
      I, as a techie, I suspect, because they wanted to make a nut, well, like 6 continents, 6 parts of the world, everything is under control, but along the way someone put one edge in his pocket, and these with the stars are still there sixth looking for angle belay

    that "American military aircraft have to periodically turn away from Russian fighters"
    "Well, let them turn them away! Let them go from Ottudov." Nobody called these artists to Syria. Oh my god, and wherever the UN is looking (sarcasm)!

    Well, what's the problem? Through the Syrian government, you will receive an official invitation to conduct a counter-terrorist operation as part of the government forces of the SAR and the Russian Federation, and then we will coordinate until the face turns blue. They created problems for themselves, I quote the newspaper.

    At the same time, the newspaper reminds that the discussion of issues of coordination and cooperation of the two countries in the military field "is complicated by legislative acts adopted in the United States on the Ukrainian and Crimean issues."


    And then the Pentagon hawks finished off all attempts to reach an agreement:

    In addition, earlier Pentagon chief James Mattis told European allies in Brussels that “the United States is not ready at this stage for military-level cooperation with Russia.” [Quote]


    Do not see you citizens "s" of gas and oil Syrian. This is the patrimony of the Russian Federation.
    And you will never build a pipe from Qatar through the territory of Syria.
    And a canal from the Caspian to the Persian Gulf will be built, just as we are building a bridge to the Crimea now.

    I agree. It is necessary to improve coordination in this way: We fly over Syria, but we do not.

    Why did you forget that in Syria? "Something he in a tailcoat?" . It does not allow them to respond quickly to such incidents. Not a single American penguin F with different numbers has suffered so far. So - the level of cooperation at the level. Give him another step. Stumble about steps sometimes, or shoot them. But even though the arrogance begins to decrease in these with the advent of trump, or am I buggy?

    Here, I would believe in American warriors as well as politicians in the last turn! I would sooner believe that Atlantis will soon emerge than the promises of the Americans.

      You turn on some CNN or NBC in the morning, and there Atlantis pops up online. Women on the Planet will be worse than when she drowned. It’s better to watch something pro-Kremlin.

    Now I understand the term invisibility of aircraft. This is when Russian pilots point blank do not see the partnership pepelats

    After that sudden blow to the Syrian troops, after which the Ishilovites suddenly started to attack - I would not have promised anything real to the Amer’s “coalition”, except perhaps something muddy, Medvedev’s: “stay there, but I also wish you all the best.” ..

    So our VKS can’t control the entire airspace of Syria, since everyone flies there.

    Yes, our control it completely, just do not want to go to confrontation. Well, on the other hand, they methodically clean the positions of the barmalei. And the fact that there are our air defense systems, so we cover our airbases and Syrian. We simply do not have the legal right to close the sky to them. But Bashar Assad, too, can not do this, the Syrian army and its position are too weak. Imagine, God forbid, now the Syrian air defense will start to shoot them down, this is the first call at once to start a large-scale ground operation and to bombard the positions of the Syrian troops. You understand how all this can end. While doing everything right. Cleaning up the territory by the Syrian troops and the work of our air forces on the positions of the barmalei.
