The no-fly zone over Syria, or the "gut is thin"?

175
In connection with the tragic incident off the coast of Syria, where a search operation is being carried out (along Il-20), the topic of creating a no-fly zone over Syria was again relevant. Politicians representing various currents, as well as individual high-ranking military men, propose to completely close the sky of the SAR for military flights aviation those countries that carry out an operation in Syria without inviting official Damascus.

The no-fly zone over Syria, or the "gut is thin"?




However, not all military experts support such proposals. The main argument in this case is that Russia may not have enough forces and means to completely close the airspace of Syria. In itself, this statement sounds very depressing, because if the Russian Armed Forces are currently unable to create a no-fly zone in a country like Syria (to put it mildly, not with the most impressive area), then a) is there enough air defense equipment to protect the air borders of Russia itself? ? and b) will the “partners” take advantage of this kind of gap in Syria with more confidence for them?

In this situation, an “average” option appears: to create flightless zones of a certain radius, at least around Russian military bases, with a warning to all countries sending their combat aircraft to Syria. The warning is simple: crossing the boundaries of the zone means an inevitable blow to the intruder aircraft. All within the framework of international rules. In this case, as an argument to use the facts of the tragedy with IL-20.

Critics, however, have enough of this option. In this case, the arguments of the opponents of the initiative are as follows: is Russia ready to shoot down, for example, an American aircraft, if it makes a provocation and enters the 100-200 m in a flight-free zone, organized by air defense calculations? The question is, in fact, relevant.

In this regard, another option was voiced: a no-fly zone exclusively for the Israeli Air Force, which recently struck around 200 in Syria. But here is a certain hitch. Representatives of the so-called American coalition — offhand, the Dutch or Canadian Air Forces, whose planes will be sent for “probing.”

In any case, over the answer after the situation with IL-20 think. And you need to think well, without fever. Not even so much on the “answer” as on the real actions to protect the Russian military in Syria. But it turns out that the Syrian military are ready to defend more than their own.

    when declaring an "unmanned zone", you need to be ready to shoot everyone down. is our leadership ready for this? I don’t think there will be "last warnings" again.

          Create a no-fly zone, or announce? Although it makes no difference, in any case, this will untie the hands of the Russian air defense and not with the 200, but the S400 will be involved. And I think so, our calculations will not forgive the Jews for their antics, Israel will not be very bombed ... It is necessary to create or declare, no difference ...

What do you think this will lead to among the military, for example, many will simply refuse and that's it, why then do they get their lives?

They calculated operations there taking into account the plans and counteractions of the Syrians and smashed them dry ..

There are also explanations about such concessions from the Russian Air Force to Israeli military operations in Syria ....

        But it was the allies who shot down the IL-20, and the other allies, closer to the Russian base, organized their warehouses in the hope of an umbrella of the Russian air defense, and the partners gouged these warehouses in spite of the umbrella.

        I want to draw attention to the fact that without an AWACS aircraft hanging near the borders of Israel (or its counterpart like Mig-31), it is impossible to effectively intercept aircraft attacks from there - such a terrain. Therefore, deaf defense in the confrontation in the air is completely losing for Syria. And it doesn’t matter, 1, 10 or 9999 air defense batteries are worth it - just such a relief. And the defense is complicated due to the fact that there are few natural shelters. Therefore, do not breed demagoguery about the defense of Latakia.

      What is the no-fly zone over Syria? Do you understand the consequences of this step? This means driving ourselves into a corner: if it is broken, what shall we do? Do not beat - we lose prestige. Sobem - casus belli.

      Good. Announced. Shot down. What's next? - worked for those who shot down. What's next? -Who already fight with Russia directly? With Israel? With a coalition? With turkey? With France? From the USA?

      What does the width of the intestine have to do with it? Here about poverty of mind to speak at a time when, having many of the most varied options, the most stupid, straightforward and dangerous for Russia itself is taken. It is surprising that there are seriously masons who are sure that in a state of war Russia will apparently be more comfortable. War is mobilization, hyperinflation, a shortage of goods, including essential necessities, a collapse for the majority of business and investments, a transfer of the economy to military tracks, naturally to the detriment of everything else - in no other way. But stupid are fools who, for the sake of hatred, are ready for a week's joy of the odious decision to put above all that is called.

      The events that occurred after the plane shot down by the Turks clearly showed that even without any military operations it is possible to inflict significant damage that does not meet the interests of the counterparty to such an extent that emotions and feelings fade into the background before obvious losses.

      Israel is not Turkey, but this does not mean that there cannot be an adequate and painful response sensitive to its economy.

      The destruction of the Israeli military unit will only unite the Jews. Long-term economic disadvantages will divide them. Damage to their business will split. And this will be more sensitive for Israel as a whole and for their leadership than the loss of even a few dozen military units in a short time.

      Do they have few losses in Syria anyway? - Israel simply will never recognize them. They always have "no losses", unless the downed fighter plane crashes on the highway at all.

      Remember Ukraine. In the long run, how much money she lost. from delays associated with the ongoing inspections of ships in the Sea of ​​Azov? In total, this is several orders of magnitude more losses from what the owners of "Mechanics Pogodin" and "Nord" suffered. The government of Ukraine, however, is a special case: they do not care about the losses of their country + they are unable to negotiate. But there is a business for those who send ships to these ports, especially if there are domestic ports that are reasonable and more attractive under such circumstances. This is also an illustrative example.

      The conclusions are simple: to abandon the nonsense of anti-Russian-minded provocateurs, or simply fools who do not see any other way but to "break through the knee", demanding an immediate military response, and turn on the head.

        Kedmi recently said that it was stupid for Israel to get into such a situation. In this he is right, it is unusual for Israel to substitute and pass trump cards in this way. But the reason for this may be the tension of the situation, a game of nerves, before the decisive battle for Idlib. And the successes of the Russian Federation. In this regard, it was a clear provocation, in order to bring the situation out of the control of the Russian Federation and the SAA, and force them to make mistakes that would allow the coalition to seize the initiative. This is probably due to the statements of the GDP, which did not fall into the trap.

And now I say bluntly, if the Kremlin defended Donbass, answered for the Su-24 and made a no-fly zone in Syria, there would be nothing but the western stench and the sanctions that we get from them without it. Remember what the US responded to the Turkish sultan when the SU-24 was shot down? the answer was "deal with Russia yourself." Why am I writing all this, that it was not the Kremlin's answer for all this, just opened the Pandora's box, the Americans and their entire coalition began to become even more impudent, began to cross the red line. Naturally, all this greatly increases the chances of a direct clash between Russia and the United States.

          Dear passer-by, judging by your comment, you do not have information about the situation in the Donbas or about the situation with the downed Su-24M.

          I will be brief: despite all the groans from the series "Putin - send troops", if we did not help Donbas, the LPR and DPR would have ended 4 years ago, rolled up by ATO tanks that would have stood on our border. Was it possible to help better and more - yes it was possible. Whether the Russian Federation needs it (help is at the expense of you and me) is a debatable and multifaceted question.

          Regarding the lack of a response from Turkey. I agree, we did not start a nuclear war, but if almost a year of confrontation passed you with heavy losses of the Turkish economy in the sector of recreational resources, light industry, agriculture ... Is this not an answer? As a result, they apologized and offered compensation to the family (the pilot’s family, however, refused it).

          And note: not a single person died during this otvetka from our side.

          If you consider these actions ineffective, although the numbers indicate the opposite - your right.

          Military response means surrendering to provocation. And they only need that. Before screaming about the hostilities with a saber, estimate our potential losses in people’s equipment, and then ask the question: for what? Were they really necessary and there was no other way? Have we really won at least economically, having paid with our lives?

          You won’t believe it, but both Israel and America also have something to shoot down our planes with and how to strike at our bases. And before discussing the military response, it would be nice to estimate the response.

          Although, if except for starting a war, nothing more than thoughts is enough to discuss is very difficult.

            I wrote what would be the loss, it is the stink of the West and sanctions, no more. As for us, the United States wants to push. Who to bump with yourself? After all, it’s not Turkey that has already hit Tomahawks in Syria, according to our allies, but the United States. I wrote to you about the consequences. wait for more provocations. As for the Donbass, in what century do you live? now it’s not 41 years old, the army doesn’t have to be entered anywhere; in the 21st century, in local wars, enemy firing points are suppressed by cruise missiles.

        It is surprising that there are seriously masons who are sure that in a state of war Russia will apparently be more comfortable. War is mobilization, hyperinflation, a shortage of goods, including essential necessities, a collapse for the majority of business and investments, a transfer of the economy to military tracks, naturally to the detriment of everything else - in no other way.

        Or maybe we should immediately abandon Russia, abandon our relatives? Why do we need a country, why do we need relatives, the main thing is that there is no war ... Let us be killed, let our citizens be seized abroad on far-fetched charges, the main thing is that there would be no war ... Let's give the Kuriles to Japan, the Far East to China, Yakutia we’ll give the USA, we’ll give the Urals to someone else, and we will be happy, there won’t be any war, and we will live well right away, the sanctions will be lifted ...

          Dear Sergey, from a variety of options, you choose the most painful, expensive and simple. The one that lies on the surface and the one that our enemies expect from us. At the same time, as an alternative, that is, if it does not succumb to provocation, you interfere in one heap all the possible pro-mood feelings. You deliberately exaggerate and hypertrophy the negative consequences as an alternative to one and far from the best scenario, trying to justify its necessity.

          I understand that if nothing else comes to my mind besides a military answer, the expediency of such an answer has to be justified by any means, even bringing the arguments to the point of absurdity and interfering all the problems in one boiler. otherwise what does the Kuril Islands, the Urals and Syria have to do with it?

          The most offensive is that many think so narrowly. A military response always exists, but this is the last, last resort measure. Any war must somehow end. and after its end, all the problems of peacetime, as a rule, remain unsolved, but only with more acuteness are on the agenda. But few people think about it.

          What will happen as a result of the war? Does someone seriously believe that Israel or Turkey or the United States will be wiped off the face of the Nazi Reich? And if they don’t, then the war will need to be somehow stopped. On certain conditions. But in any situation of the Russian Federation, this cannot be any better.

          I do not urge to abandon the army or prohibit the use of weapons. That's just the threat is always worse than the execution of this threat, and on the issue of relations with Israel there are a bunch of other painful levers that can be pulled, and this will be much more effective than a military confrontation.

        What is the no-fly zone over Syria?


        it is worth reminding all fans to bomb that Syria is an independent state, the violation of the borders of which is protected by a whole bunch of international laws, including the right to self-defense.
        Therefore, any aircraft, especially a military one, that invades the legal borders of Syria without permission, is in the full control of the Syrian authorities - they can shoot it down whenever and how they want, this is their sovereign right. They can rent foreign specialists to enforce the sentence.

        But with Israel, the situation is different - its aviation strikes with unexpected injections and immediately flees into neutral waters or into its territory. Therefore, the issue should be addressed at the level of prosecution of violators - what can be done.

        For example, Israel can be recognized as a terrorist state with corresponding consequences. But in spite of it, it is necessary to somehow solve the issue of officially stopping the supply of weapons to terrorists attacking Israeli territory. You can’t complain if you’re shitting yourself out of silence.

    The presence of a hotline to prevent accidents in the air did not pay off. Israel has clearly planned for a long time this provocation and the closure of Syrian airspace is the only acceptable way out of the situation. Naturally, the closure will occur when the Syrian army receives a sufficient quantity of S-300 air defense systems in exchange for obsolete systems. The main thing is that Israeli leaders would not be able to bribe Putin's entourage in the short term with the long-term goals of discrediting his domestic policies.

    Now Russia and Syria are trying to save face, especially against the background that Israel promised to provide information showing that the Israeli plane was already in Israel when the plane was shot down Israel has nothing to fear - that’s why Netanyahu promised to provide a detailed report on Israeli aircraft’s actions Syrian territory, which will soon be brought to Moscow by the Israeli Air Force commander.

    Putin himself sits in two chairs - on the one hand he admits that the Syrians shot down that this is a tragic coincidence and on the other they are trying to blame everything on Israel because it is difficult to explain to the population who are raising their retirement age, VAT, utilities, gasoline, that an ally, in which hundreds of billions of rubles thumped - he shot down a Russian plane by its own stupidity and led to the death of the military.

      There is an old anecdote about how a man got a job in a fire department: "Everything would be fine, but like a fire - at least quit!" This I mean that sometimes it seems that the supreme also quit a long time ago, like our main headquarters, like many others. All their lives, the military only consumes, assuring, "if that ..." And so, in the language of an anecdote, even a big fire did not happen, and the commander did not intend to extinguish it. Today on RIA Novosti there is an advertisement - "Let's save Dasha! We'll raise money for treatment." Is this not a sad result of the leadership of the already supreme civilian branches? I wanted to find out from the active military whether he believed in his commanders, or in the event of a "fire" they would throw up their hands and say: "Brothers and sisters? .."

If this happened to the Americans I give a tooth, I would have already thrown the airdromes with tomahawks, with explanations that they will organize their safety first of all. Well, the Americans are not afraid to bomb the same Syrians if they feel threatened somewhere. Israel also acts, there is a threat for them, they are not afraid to use all means to achieve their goals. It’s sad to see when a great power - every time it washes and expresses its concern. Nobody will start a world war with us over Israel, there will be a maximum of next sanctions, which will first of all be afraid of those who sit on the tops of power and keep money outside the country.

    What is there to be scattered, to look for the guilty and innocent. There is an established fact. Everyone's memory is very distressing. The no-fly zone was declared after the SU24 was shot down by a Turkish F16. And nobody canceled it. IL20 shot down! This is unfortunate and sad. And you comrades you cannot do anything. You will not be able to reach the powerful of this world either. They have their own views and plans. And the fact that Shoigu announced that the alleged intelligence officer was shot down by the Syrian air defense is also not a fact. Have you read Putin's speech ??? He also made it clear that Shoigu called his Israeli colleague after Vladimir Vladimirovich assessed the situation. And after that, Shoigu also made a statement in the media on IL20. So it’s not that smooth. It seems to me that the intelligence was shot down by the Israeli air force! And the means of objective control of the Russian videoconferencing saw this. And the whole reason is that our bureaucrats dohara property and accounts over the hill. That's the whole problem. And the military should decide this issue themselves. Pilots must refuse to fly until their flight is safe and until they are allowed to fight back and use weapons against our insolent "allies." That's all!

      This is already so clear, just simulate a situation with the RER approaching the S-200 which is clearly visible to an aircraft of this class and the pilots do not do anything and do not notify the ground services ... In this case, to get into il20 the missile should be pointed at it (because it’s semi-active guidance head), i.e. the Syrian clearly sees the target with a signature that did not belong to the fighter and shoots at it that it simply will not be allowed to make a friend or foe system ... Bullshit, but complete bullshit.
      Further, the second scenario, which is not official, approaches F20 with il16, which is not something beyond ordinary because such flights take place constantly, ours see it but take no action (we don’t fight the Jews), and here the last one attacks the il20 crew react and that's it ....
      Further on the same day, information will come about the first use of the S-400 complex in Syria, for whom, for which it is not clear, everyone is silent. It is likely that our services recorded this incident and missiles were launched on the plane that destroyed the sludge .. But since Israel is silent, I think that after recognizing the targets they were immediately eliminated.
      And they probably would have hushed up the matter if at that moment the French were not in the water area, cheerfully delivering strikes against Syria, naturally having noticed such ugliness the frogmen were afraid of the accusations and ran to inform the command that they were not here. Which naturally made a statement in the media (France is not the United States or Israel, and the problems with the Russian Federation are not needed in any way)
      As a result, I had to compose a story about the S-200 which was falling apart just before our eyes

    I will never believe that Israel struck this blow, 20 km. from our base - spontaneously.
    The operation is well thought out and staged. All flights of our Il-20 were thoroughly analyzed. And here it is, that auspicious moment under the developed script. Il returns to base, and the F-16s are already at the combat line. And when everything "grew together", quickly, in less than a minute, they informed our headquarters about the beginning of their attack (having fulfilled the terms of the contract).
    This provocation is not a tactical plan. This provocation is a strategic plan. Russia,
    due to actions in Syria, it began to quickly gain credibility not only in the BV, but also in the world.
    Knowing that Putin will not dare to retaliate (judging by Su-24 in Turkey), and this affects his rating not only in the world, but also in the country. So, it’s not just shot down a plane, it shot down Putin’s rating. And this is not so much interested in Israel as its patrons. Moreover, not only Israel but also the French participated in the strike on Syria (they were on the safe side).
    The provocation was a success. Yes

      If there was such a plan and they knew that they would not answer, what prevented stupidly missiles and f16 from knocking it down? Why are these feints then? Do not wishful thinking. Everything is simpler at times. Hoping that they would slip in and not open fire, they planned and did them. But as usual, something went wrong. Or do you think that the person personally responsible for the Israeli aviation was sent as a messenger just like that? He is now almost sent to make excuses. They really got scared from what they had done. Which, of course, should not worry us much, but it’s just striking.

And why no one insinuatingly asks the French from whose order they fired rockets two days ago? The intestines are thin, the intestines are thick .. Now the Americans will let the aircraft carrier down and ours will generally sit in caponiers. Because they have already swooped in .. And Israel and others, as they carried out raids from neutral waters, will continue to do so .. And the question is funny and amateurish in the article - is there enough air defense means to protect Russia itself? Nobody has ever defended the whole of Russia. Large cities, strategic objects - yes .. And this is not all from a massive attack. Calculate the length of the borders of our country and divide by the range of the radar of the same S-300 ... - get an approximate amount .. But we know that the air defense system must be echeloned, right? then you need to multiply by three .. Oh, yes! more strategic objects!

    You can create a no-fly zone over Syria. But for this, in addition to the existing one, it is necessary to constantly keep in the air four patrol MiG-31BM, helicopters with Lever-AB, A50U and Il-22 "Porubshchik". And on the ground to have radar "Valeria", Kasta-2-2, scattered around the objects of Mercury-BM, Buk-M3, Tor-M2 and Derivation-Air Defense.

    Our bourgeois authorities have the determination and will only to infringe on the rights of the people, for example, pushing pension reform with the tenacity of a rhino or EdR candidate in Primorye.
    For everything else - only recourse recourse recourse- wipe and chew. Well, they can still strongly declare to bomb Voronezh. Do not bomb Israel, the best friend of the Russian Federation?

    Is the GDP really not tired of what they began to hold him for a fool: they say the main thing is friendly hugs ...

    "For a line in the newspaper ..." - Don't you remember this song? So that the next day all the media rejoiced about "the breakthrough of isolation, everyone goes to consult, everyone secretly loves him ... but they are embarrassed to admit it ..."
    Our GDP is terribly afraid of the fate of Gaddafi, Saddam and ... the famous admiring "Wow" girl named Albright. And he does not forget the fate of Yanukovych.
    And our poor fellow has forgotten that literally a minute ... before ... the Western "partners" respected Gaddafi's darling about the same ... well, as they do with him now.

    Our? I very much doubt that he is yours and that you are ours. For some reason, people in Ukraine are most worried about Putin’s fate. Do not worry. Are you from the Lviv region, by any chance?

    The question is rhetorical, but what would happen if we fought the fascists according to today’s scheme of the war in Syria? Those. The Americans and the British are separate, and we seem to be the main force in the struggle, but also separately. Both then and now it was known about the deep sympathies of the British ruling circles for the fascist regime of Hitler, who himself repeatedly called the Anglo-Saxons “brotherly people.” American banks had direct contacts with German banks, and the headquarters of some German concerns were located in the United States. But something allowed I.V. Stalin, despite the “sanctions” announced to the Bolshevik government by all countries that then at least meant something in economics and politics, and the independent policy of Soviet Russia, to join forces in the fight against the fascism of the three powers - Russia, USA, Great Britain. Maybe Stalin was simply playing fair, knowing the value of “our partners,” but realizing that he was responsible for the entire country, for every person - a citizen of our country, no matter what anyone said about his bloodthirstiness. What else would have to happen for someone's ambitions to be put aside for the greater good? What is this Assad, who has clearly become a brake on all political processes in Syria? And his incompetent military personnel shoot down our planes, miraculously not shooting down the planes of other states? What do we need Iran? Let us remember A.S. Griboedova. Since then, the attitude towards us in Iran has changed little. Türkiye is our friend? While the Black Sea is being held at gunpoint by our fleet. Thank God that Crimea has again become part of Russia... Or is China our brother? Who is just waiting for the weakening of the powers that be, now engaging in “ping-pong” diplomacy in reverse. And so on and so forth. These are, of course, questions for an amateur. But you have to start somewhere. Or will we again leave ingloriously, both from Afghanistan and from Germany? Throwing away everything and everyone? But the Mediterranean Sea will be more important.

    “In any case, they are thinking about the answer after the situation with the Il-20. And you need to think well, without fever. Not so much about the “answer”, but about real actions to protect Russian military personnel in Syria. “Think, but... do this so that the planes of the RF Air Force and CIVIL AIR SERVICES of the Russian Federation do not shoot down and explode in the air, and do not think about it!! and it’s time to kiss “on the gums with our partners”

    Regarding the No-Fly Zone, there won’t be one at all. Amer’s armada entered the Mediterranean Sea, and they have as many axes as we do not have missiles. Second question - If an Israeli fighter hid behind our IL-20, then in order to hide behind something, then you need to get close enough to this something - and here’s the question: WHAT DID OUR AIR DEFENSE DO when someone else’s fighter came unacceptably close to ours? airplane? And finally, the third question, who shot down our IL-20 plane, did they not know the landing area of ​​the Russian Aerospace Forces there?

    What angers me the most: I didn’t expect it, it was a sneaky blow. Before the start of the operation in Syria, more than one person must have sat and calculated the possible risks. and every time no one gives a damn. And now you have to wipe yourself off. You really have to. no-fly zone? How many aircraft do we have there capable of intercepting? and the air defense system? What if the air defense missile system is destroyed, as did the Jews with 80 Syrians in the 200s? plus logistics are dependent on the Turks. although on the other hand they are not immortal either. The main thing is to first prepare and then announce.
