The Pentagon commented on the findings of US involvement in attacks on Russian facilities in the SAR

80
Guesses about the possible involvement of the United States or its allies in the attack on Russian military installations in Syria have no basis, reports TASS Pentagon spokesperson Adrian Rankin-Galloway.





So Rankin-Galloway commented on the statements of the representative of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation regarding the attack on the Hmeimim VKS base and the Navy facility in Tartus using drones.

Whatever the assumption that the United States or the coalition forces played a role in the attack on the Russian base, have no factual basis and are extremely irresponsible,
said an american officer.

At the same time, he walked away from a direct answer to the question of what tasks the Poseidon reconnaissance aircraft of the United States, which, according to the information provided by the Russian Ministry of Defense, “barraged between Tartus and Hmeimim during an attack on Russian military facilities,” solved the tasks.

We are not discussing the location of intelligence platforms,
said a Pentagon spokesman.

He also declined to clarify whether "the American armed forces transferred to any factions of the Syrian opposition such technologies that, according to the Russian military, were used by the militants during attacks against bases in Hmeymim and Tartus."

Rankin-Galloway assured that the Pentagon does not have detailed information about the circumstances of the attack on Russian bases in Hamim and Tartus.

But I can tell you that the coalition forces fighting against the IS (grouping is prohibited in the Russian Federation) and our partners were faced with commercially available unmanned aerial systems that were used by the IS. These systems are widely available, they are easy to control, and they certainly do not require substantial technical expertise. These systems were used (by militants) to conduct basic reconnaissance and the installation of explosives,
he said.

        For MANPADS, poorly poorly comply with the control regime.
        But since the United States decided that terrorists should have strike drones with a radius of action of hundreds of kilometers, with a large combat load, with satellite guidance, then so be it - there is no getting anywhere. Terrorists are unlikely to go to the United States right away, and Israel, "their loved one," will get a good smut. The drone will reach the target faster than the suicide bomber and deliver much more bombs.

          A crowd of drones stuck together with tape (for the sake of excuse) flew, controlled by technology developed by the Americans for the project on Mars. Only they have such technologies.
          Ours were able to intercept only 3 (three) devices. In this case, the "flying" were controlled by an analog signal. If the "figure" will be used, then how many "doves" are intercepted?

      But not the topic. But also amusing. Because after the showdown with an UAV it may not appear.

      "Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has canceled the decision to break the deal to acquire 8 thousand Spike anti-tank guided missiles worth $ 500 million from the Israeli concern Rafael.

      According to Indian Defense News, the deal will be held according to the category of intergovernmental agreements after the military insisted on the purchase of missiles tested in real hostilities, and the military research and development department raised its objection, provided that only missiles were purchased, not technology .

      The publication also reports on the intention of the Indian army to purchase assault rifles from Israel.

      Recall that in November 2017, Indian media reported on the decision of the Indian Ministry of Defense not to sign a contract for the purchase of a large batch of Spike anti-tank missiles. The decision to cancel the transaction was made at the last moment, when agreements had already been reached with Raphael and the consent of all authorities was obtained.

      The ministry concluded that the purchase of missiles could harm the development program of its own defense industry. The publication cites a high-ranking source claiming that local concerns have already developed Nag and Anamika anti-tank missiles, and within three to four years they will be able to develop a third-generation system without the need to purchase other people's technologies.

      On January 2 of 2018, the leadership of the Israeli concern Rafael confirmed the fact that it received official notification from the Ministry of Defense of India about the cancellation of the transaction in the amount of about 500 million dollars.

      Note that on January 14 the visit of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to India will begin, in which leaders of Israeli defense concerns will also take part. "

          Very funny. Especially about the "commission" which I think how many Americans killed civilians.

          1700 is only what they recognized, and not by the work of the commission, but by the military themselves. In fact, you can safely multiply the figure by 30 and you get a more or less accurate number of civilians that the coalition destroyed. This is without those who suffered indirectly.

          If you want data from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, go there, they will probably say))) at least they will indicate the direction reliably.

    Do the RF Ministry of Defense have facts and evidence?! ... No !!! The American side comments more convincingly. Drones are cheap, sold freely, including in Russia - http://www.rusgeocom.ru/bespilotniki. Fit for dropping small self-made bombs is not a problem. Their fighters have been using them for a long time ... Night time is also not a problem for a video camera. Syrian security for money will let anyone through their posts. And American coalition reconnaissance planes fly around our bases around the clock - they are serving ...

      I now almost cried. There are still, it turns out, sane people. That means that everything is still not lost. Of course, there are sins for amers, but not in such quantity.

        I don’t often go to this site, but sometimes you don’t know - toli laughing, toli crying from comments ... Here I also forgot to write that "Poseidon" is an anti-submarine aircraft, in principle, can’t operate any drones. This is not his business ... By the way, if the Russian Ministry of Defense knows where these drones came from, then they must have been seen and watched the flight ... But then why didn’t they shoot down halfway, but let them go to the base itself? In general, lying to the MoE is lying, but lying primitively ... Hehehehehe ...

          Poseidon anti-submarine - yes. There is something for him to look for in the sea - no. It is equipped with additional equipment and there is something for him to sniff out on the shore - yes. He could control drones - and what for? those. no reason ... assumption, just reconnaissance flight.
          As previously stated, the drones were on the GPS route programmed initially, the goals outlined. He needs telemetry, external control - no. Bet on stealth, no telemetry.
          The drone is intact, the route from memory to remove the case is trifling.
          To knock half the way is an idiotic idea, to spend an expensive long-range missile on this crap?
          I went into the affected zone of a cannon or cheap near missiles, electronic warfare, shot down, planted, it does not matter. Made cheaply and efficiently.
          The military worked that they are chatting in the media ... this is the talk.
          It is not given to some to know, to understand ... but there are also quite hehehehihihi.

            Enchanting ... Well, you know better from the couch. Americans of course - "well, stupid" ... Why do they only keep their fleet and aircraft in the middle-earth ??! ...

              Training flight, according to the schedule, reconnaissance of the coastal zone ... to choose from. Looking for boats in the coastal area? Yes, they already know where they are and how ... the zone is limited and there are two passages, complex and small. Everything is calculated, everything is known, this is not the ocean.
              Option - control, reconnaissance of the coastal zone or control of drone attacks. Neither prove nor verify, solid fortune-telling.
              For the sixth fleet, and there is nothing to discuss, as he entered after the war, he stayed there, consider the local one.
              The Yankees are of course stupid, but certainly not fools.

                Now it’s kind of like the Turks are being blamed ... They say they flew from their zone of occupation in Syria. And about the "high technology" and so on. Mura appeared an interview in TASS ... Read if interested. http://tass.ru/politika/4867204

                  No body, no business !!!
                  Until I see real evidence, all the charges are crap !!! This is for the Turks, and for the Yankees, and for everyone else. With barmaley it seems clear, but also who exactly - the facts on the table.
                  And the article ... if you look at my posts at the very beginning, I WRITTEN THE MOST !!! only shorter.
                  I am a professional, the specifics of the service \ work, I know \ know everything except explosives .... what I need, I learned almost immediately.
                  Until the facts present I suppose, they made barmalei with the help of "friends".

                      On such forums, people then pile up ... like a smoking-room / blockage, not for the sake of truth the process itself is important !!!
                      The truth is now experts and other non-public guys mined \ determined!
                      I’m fine, while away the evening, the time to "kill", and it’s nice to find brothers in spirit !!!
