Why has Iraq closed the airspace for the Russian Defense Ministry aircraft?

Lebanese information service Al-Masdar reports that Iraqi authorities have ordered the closure of airspace for the Russian military aviation. In particular, according to AMN, the Tu-154M aircraft belonging to the Ministry of Defense was not allowed through the airspace of this country. He was heading to the Khmeimim airbase to Syria.

Faced with the ban on entering Iraqi airspace, the crew was forced to deploy the aircraft in the Iranian direction. After some time, a new attempt was made to fly through Iraq. And about whether the new request for the crew was successful, not reported.

This information caused a resonance due to the fact that an agreement exists between Moscow and Baghdad, which allows Russian aircraft to freely use (implement free transit) the airspace of Iraq in need of the antiterrorist operation in Syria.

It is assumed that the ban on transit could be associated with the presence in the airspace of Iraq of the so-called American coalition aircraft. Another assumption is the identified danger on earth.

If this is not considered, the question that Baghdad decided to violate the previously reached agreements.

Since it hasn’t cleared up yet, then this is a mattress theme, as they say, music by order. So Iraq swam.

[Sling]

No, I think the point here is purely on the technical side, not politics. It’s just that often ordinary things are blown up by journalists as a sensation, so that the ratings are. In fact, there is likely some domestic reason

Exactly. This is the usual routine of normal air traffic controllers.
Or was it better to miss him with risks, alas, couch patriots?

Skip ... sure to skip comrade captain .... but not now ... everyone should calm down first ... take a sedative, get enough sleep ... then have a cup of coffee ... a glass of champagne and go back into battle.

Of course, the striped ones are involved here, like everywhere else, where something is done against the Russians, but the Babylonian-Assyrian people are also not simple.

The Babylonians and the Assyrians were conquered by the Arabian conquerors of 1200, approximately, years ago. After several generations, they disappeared among the occupying colonialists, changing their language, having lost their written language and religion. Now they are just Arabs.

This is generally considered so. In reality, this is far from the case - the same Arabs of Iraq (only and specifically the Arabs of Iraq! In other countries they are different!) And then they are divided into at least 3 ethno-anthropological groups, which often differ and are confessional.

In addition, among the Arabs there are serious genetic differences, including those confirming that the modern Arabs of Iraq have direct saints with the Babylonians ...

I agree that the Palestinian Arabs have a similarity with the Jews (genetic) with the Lebanese with the Phoenicians, with the Tuna with the Greeks (Carthage, probably), etc. But in written language, religion, language and mentality these are Arabs

[siberalt]

Business then. They will now pre-request the possibility of flight. Safety is more important.

[jaroff]

Most likely, the command "Good" was received. Otherwise, they would not have taken off from their airfield at all. Nobody would have let it out. Thus, the U-turn command was received for reasons that arose during the flight in Iraqi airspace. For reasons not yet known. Maybe we won't find out.

The second time they tried to fly through the airspace of Iraq, which means the team was slurred, allowed to doubt.

[ANCIENT]

Vitaly, you’re tired, cut down the computer, and a little bit, 5 days, take a rest! And then you write nonsense on the machine, without even thinking what to write! !!

Eco poked him, Friday still made itself felt.

We are waiting for clarification, and so little information!

[Evgeniy667b]

But we deliver weapons there (to Iraq), it is not clear what hoping for ??? And here are the results, they are indicated in the article. And then there will be more. Depressed flat and quite enough.

[Piramidon]

Somehow I flew to Moscow. Domodedovo did not accept the weather, put in Ivanovo. Now I think - who pressed on Moscow then?

[Ros 56]

Dear, and you go to a fortuneteller, she will throw out cards and you will immediately know the truth.

[oracul]

Is it any wonder, because Iraq goes under the United States. And while no other is foreseen. These are the realities of life, and even more so the hybrid war against Russia. If we only protest and appeal to the common sense of those who do not have it, then the orgy will continue on all sides. Either the UN does not want to restore Syria, then arbitration enters into the position of Ukraine, ignoring our interests, then India does not sign military equipment contracts under far-fetched pretexts, then the German company modestly asks to understand its departure from the construction of Nord Stream-2, then biathletes and athletes spread rot in full, demanding from Russia recognition of state support for doping. On the one hand, diplomats and the media are encouraging us with reports of a growing understanding by many states of the position of Russia, the desire of the business to work with us, and on the other, the reality is that sanctions are growing and all in all.

[donavi49]

Lol, I just wrote about it yesterday. What is in such operations - only the fleet has immunity. It is impossible to forbid passage through straits without declaring war or martial law (depending on the country of the holder). Inspection / blockade in international waters - only through the UN or in fact a war / very special period.

Every country can ban a plane, at its discretion. And this is the norm, including one recognized by Russia.

They answered me in style
They have nothing to do there. I don’t know how the United States bends Iraq, but the air supply through it just goes, and cruise missiles fly from time to time.

Our KR fly through it only because of the impossibility of intercepting them, and the plane, let alone transport-passenger, deploy without problems ...

[Zaurbek]

They just show us that they can block the supply channels to Syria .... and that not everyone is sovereign.

[artifact]

I venture to suggest that, looking at the indecision and ostentatious signs of cowardice on the part of the Russian leadership, they will send us more and more .... . and these signs, unfortunately, are more and more, like unpunished attacks on our allies (Syria, Novorossiai) and endless seizures of our property and people, and Zakharchenko yesterday .... and it’s a shame that we can answer. but damn, shy or what? or …. They want to betray us again !?

[Berkut24]

That's why the navigation service exists to sometimes say "no". Circumstances are different and not worth it
The media croak without understanding the reasons. I have 12 kilometers from the Vnukovo house. There, every day, dozens of planes are sent "to smoke on the sidelines." Including foreign ones. Why are the media silent about such a blatant and systematic outrage?
Threat. But Ukrainians with a bang pass foreign aircraft into the war zone. Still arguing who is to blame.

[Yan Sergeev]

Well, okay. Trample from the Middle East, go to China. The training manuals for the second time have already been prepared for "The Great Russian Turn to the East". The consumer of rostTV does not delve into the nuances, the East is fine.

[Zomanus]

And Iraq was asked the reason? And now a lot of things can be pumped out of a finger ...

[iouris]

It was necessary first to find out the reasons, and then bring it up for discussion.

[Heterocapsa]

The technical side is most likely. Here the Turks in the north of Iraq were dolbanuli, maybe reinsurance was all the motions, not just once but twice are checked.

Last year, my daughter flew on vacation to Leningrad. All the while tracking the movement on Flytradar. And about 20 minutes before landing at Pulkovo, the plane suddenly turned in a circle in the opposite direction. Moreover, the radius of the turn was very large. Then the second turn (the sum turned out to be eight). They pulled out until it landed in Pulkovo and called back. It turned out that the airborne part of the parade was on the day of the Navy and that there were no accidents, the area was cleared.
Therefore, to blame the same Americans (or Iraqis, who, according to some, caved in under the amers), there are no facts so far. There was probably a reason. It is not yet known which

The inability to intercept Iraq? Are you serious? Impossible to intercept subsonic KR over another country? When are there the same US fighter aircraft and coalitions above the roof?

Yes, I'm serious, because everything is simple. The fact is that Iraq has been independent (and democratic!) For more than 10 years ("maybe more, but 10 is probably." @ Brother Rabbit, I just read my daughter) is again independent (and democratic! ) by the state, not the zone of occupation. And accordingly, only he has the right to intercept air targets in his sky.

But there are many questions regarding the militancy of the newly created Iraqi Air Force, including their capabilities to intercept the Kyrgyz Republic.

USSAF, based in Iraq, undoubtedly were able to do this, but from a legal point of view they did not have the right to do so, and the consequences with a response from our Motherland would be serious for them, nevertheless, a "bitter interception" is not empty side-to-side maneuvers.
