Representatives of the armies of the United States and Russia to 12 once a day, call the hotline to prevent incidents in the air over the territory of the SAR, reports RIA News Reuters report.



Sources of the agency emphasize that "contacts help the United States and the Russian Federation to make planes in the sky over Syria and prevent possible incidents." In addition, the parties "continue to regularly contact on a military line over Syria."

The publication notes that the contacts did not stop all four months since the US Navy launched a missile attack on the Syrian government base.

According to senior US military, the contact is maintained, despite the fact that "conversations between the American and Russian side are not always simple."

The reality is that we have worked through several difficult tasks, and in general, we have found a way to maintain a line on resolving potential conflict situations and continue our mission,
quoted by the agency of the Air Force commander in the Middle East, Jeffrey Harrijiana.

As Col. Gen. James Townsend noted, “Russians are exceptionally professional, affable, and disciplined.”

Earlier, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that Russia and the United States have achieved progress in the dialogue on Syria.

      That's how many read comments about direct contacts between our and the US military - respectful and professional direct interaction is always noted. Maybe he can give lectures to the American military in front of his high command (all these rabid dogs), politicians, the establishment and the media - how to communicate with Russians so that conflicts do not arise!

      In general, the military as a whole are the most sensible people, unlike politicians and diplomats - if the latter play tin soldiers in the world of their own illusions, overcoming it from importance, then the military dispose of real life, their own and someone else's in reality ...

        That's right, only American pilots pose a threat to the civilian population and they should be reminded of this by the radar signal on the dashboard, soldier

    It is right. Presidents are presidents, but the relationship between the General Staff and the Pentagon must always be maintained, otherwise the foreheads of the slaves will cease to exist

    The shit politicians and the military are well aware that in the event of a serious batch they will have to fight ..... it is therefore logical and correct to maintain constant contact until it comes to a direct clash between the two powers.
