The tragedy of IL-20. Gun shot not as expected

73
Just a few days ago, before the tragedy with the Il-20, it seemed that the events in Syria would follow the same scenario as it was in April last year and in April of the current one. Shooting a fake movie about how the Syrian army used a chemical weapon, demonstration by the leading Western media of “dead” children (and even those killed for real, precisely for the sake of staff), Nikki Haley’s hysteria in the UN Security Council, Trump’s terrible tweets and, finally, another Tomahawks night.

The tragedy of IL-20. Gun shot not as expected




Only here the attack was expected at a different level than in previous times. The case could not be limited to individual buildings. Moreover, Washington was trying to attract other allies to its anti-Syrian operation, who had not participated before. In particular, Germany. We could observe the impudent pressure on this country and (as its result) the constantly changing position of Berlin. In order to carry out an attack on "abandoned sheds", it is not necessary to involve someone else.

It was possible to assume that for the American authorities this time it was important to deliver at least a symbolic blow to any Russian objects in Syria (as well as Iranian ones). It is precisely symbolic, which would not cause a serious "otvetka", but would be a slap in the face from a moral point of view. This was evidenced by the publication in the American press (in particular, in the Wall Street Journal).

But Russian diplomats and the Ministry of Defense this time worked efficiently. About the upcoming provocation in Idlib was reported in advance. This issue was discussed at the highest international level. True, the United States responded with excuses: they say, this is all Russian propaganda, and White Helmets activists who remove the fake are real heroes.

It seemed that in parallel there are two realities. In one of them, right before the eyes of the whole world, false video clips are produced, in the other, evidence is provided that they are deceitful. And one could only marvel at the impudence of the United States, which have used the same technique so many times. It only remained to wait until the gun, taken out on the scene, fired.

But one cannot exclude the possibility that an understanding was born in Washington that this time such a lie would not be rolled. Of course, the Western man in the street shavaet anything, but questions about the veracity of American propaganda will inevitably arise. Especially if it comes to something more dangerous than the bombing of Syria (and this is just the attack against Russian and Iranian objects). And the preparation for the provocation in Idlib turned out to be just a smoke screen covering the “Plan B”.

It is no secret that the United States often act not directly, but by proxy. Washington has many allies in the Middle East, and Israel is one of them. No wonder the American president Donald Trump gives the Jewish state full support in his adventures, even when it is completely contrary to common sense. The US authorities could not assume that the recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital and the transfer of the embassies there would lead to heavy clashes with the Palestinians and to misunderstanding even among the Western allies. Nevertheless, went to this step. Well, now Israel had to work out that support.

Especially since Tel Aviv has a certain advantage in Syria. If Moscow is actively fighting against attempts by the US and NATO to attack the closest Russian ally in the Middle East, this is not the case with Israeli acts of aggression. Our leadership directly calls the US-NATO aggressor the aggressor. When it comes to the Israeli bombardment of Syria, the more streamlined language is heard. Still, many Israelis at the same time have Russian citizenship, there is a visa-free regime between Moscow and Tel Aviv, and generally speaking, the ties of the Russian elite with this state are close. A significant part of Russian society (unfortunately, this is not only frank liberals) even treats with understanding Israel’s actions in Syria (it’s all for the sake of security).

On the eve of the tragedy with the Russian aircraft, the presidents of the Russian Federation and Turkey, Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan, took another step that Washington did not expect. Now, the operations of the Syrian troops with the support of the Russian videoconferencing against the "Idlib gadyushnik" will not. For better or worse, a separate conversation, especially since Turkey behaves in many ways similar to Israel and enjoys the same privilege - the Russian authorities turn a blind eye to its aggressive anti-Syrian actions. But if the US did intend to push through the chemical imposition scenario, then they lost an important trump card.

But the demonstrative attack of Israel just in the area where the Russian facilities are located is for Washington what the doctor ordered. There is no formal reason for a direct collision. Israel Syria can be bombed. And the airstrikes inflicted near the Hmeimim airbase and Tartus are a very tangible slap in Russia.

Such an event as the death of a Russian aircraft with military personnel could hardly have been calculated in advance. But it turned out even more of what Washington wanted: Russia was punished for disrupting the provocation in Idlib much harder than just a moral slap in the face.

The working version of the tragedy with the aircraft was that the Syrian air defenses were aimed at Israeli fighters, and hit by IL-20. It is hardly worth accepting it as the ultimate truth - especially given the fact that the fateful night also recorded salvos from a French ship not far from the Syrian coast (French attacks on the Syrian coast confirm that this attack was not a purely Israeli adventure , and deliberate western slap in Russia).

But if Russia would declare Israel or France to be the direct culprit, then the consequences in general could go far beyond Syria. They found what is called a mitigating wording: the plane hit a Syrian rocket, and Israel is indirectly to blame.

We can say one thing: the gun that Washington put on the scene fired, but not as expected. Not like Russia expected. And not even the way the United States expected. The whole question is whether Moscow’s relatively loyal attitude towards Israel’s actions will be revised. Until now, his crimes in Syria have been watched with half-closed eyes. And if it finally stops, it means that the guys whose lives were interrupted in such a terrible way did not die for nothing.

              Yeah, only the tragic circumstances somehow look strange. Ilya Muromets swung at Tugarin, but as a result of a mistake he killed Dobrynya. From the Jewish (Tugarin) side, of course, Ilya is to blame.
              But in fact, everything is much deeper - this is a classic Jewish provocation, they have centuries of experience in this matter, with their intrigues they expose not even allies - brothers, under attack. Brothers teach history, an example in the Bible, a "fairy tale" about Esther.

      Karakurt, -The situation with Vovochka is somewhat different: After the teacher’s question, why? The answer would be: Izya showed me faces and called names, I threw a stone, Izya waited for that, bent down and a stone broke a window ... This is somewhat more true, because the Syrian air defense provoked Israeli F-16s with combat launches, hiding behind the IL-20. ..

I’ll tell you more, we (Russia) are not at all opposed to the fact that the Iranians and the Israelis clatter, it’s their eternal fun.

    If it continues to shoot like that, the VKS has big problems. And in general it’s enough to feed the people with a story that this is a strategy that disrupts the plans of the adversary. They want to kill and kill the military men of the Russian Federation, cynically, in cold blood, but supposedly we did not shoot back because we are getting it from us - but nonsense.

    The article makes an ambiguous impression.

    On the one hand, there are logical and, in general, true discussions about the deliberate provocation of Israel, about the American trace in this provocation (by the way, they set Israel up by this).

    On the other hand, irrepressible fantasies from the series: "We do not trust anyone - the authorities are all lying, but it was actually quite different."

    I'll try to make out. Indeed: a US attack was expected. I will say more - it is now expected. It’s not just that the AUG drove there. Russian-Turkish agreements only postponed it. The United States is generally of little interest in how their allies will look after accomplishing their intentions. Qualitatively, the attack really had to be different. In particular, there is every reason to believe that instead of the “Axes”, the main striking force should have been the “invisible” air-to-surface JASSM-ER missiles, which pose a great danger with the best performance characteristics. But so far it has not happened. We are waiting, sir.

    However, to say that the objects of the Russian Federation were to be attacked is very strange. Why did the author get this? The last few US attacks on Syria clearly show that the Americans are doing everything so that not one of their missiles flies even near the area of ​​responsibility of our air defense / missile defense. Why would they suddenly change their decision by 180 *? .. Not a single objective prerequisite for this exists (in any case, I do not know).

    The author’s fantasies on the guilt of France and Israel run counter to the official version even more questions. I will translate it into simple language: the author openly hints that our plane was shot down by a French or Israeli missile, and not a Syrian one (the last 3 paragraphs of the article - it is impossible to understand them otherwise).

    Here, not only fantasies not supported by facts are on the topic, here is the unproven rejection of the official version of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, voiced at the moment. A logical question: where does the author get objective information that refutes the data of the Ministry of Defense? Yes, and can it be in principle? The answers are obvious.
    Moreover, the means of objective control of several countries at once make it possible, with an accuracy of a second and ten meters, to establish who and where was at the time of the tragedy. These countries: Russia, Israel - for sure. USA, Syria, France, Iran - possible.

    I summarize. Analytics, unlike science fiction, involves the use of evidence in the analysis. Personal representations are not actual data.
    It is, of course, possible to question the official position of a state agency. But in order not to look ridiculous at the same time, you need to have iron arguments in support of your position, which are not in the article.
    Based on the foregoing, the analytical value of the article is obvious

Let there be a funeral on their street. And in Israel, so generally the funeral boom may begin. Toothless Russia. I would shoot down everything that flies over Syria and drown everything that launches cruise missiles, referring to the intergovernmental agreement and would regard any flight, attack, border crossing as an attack on Russia. Aircraft flew in - to shoot down, launched missiles - to level the launch point with the ground. Troops brought up equipment - carpet bombardment. Etc.

      it sounds tough and attractive ... but no ... not this power ... there, other interests that do not particularly coincide with national ones. Alas.

        We do not want war, but we are not afraid of it, we are afraid of only one thing, that few enemies will be taken away to the next world.

    According to rumors, the Russian C 400 is located in Latakia. Apparently next to where the plane was shot down. Based on the fact that Assad did not immediately send condolences and did not even apologize for the downed aircraft, the conclusion was that Syrian air defenses were not involved. Guess who could bring down another 20 silt?

      where is the confirmation that the C-400 generally opened fire?

        No confirmation. But there is no rebuttal either.

    Awful of it all! But couldn’t a plane that saw everything see fighter attacks? And is there really no way to more tightly cover the airspace of Syria, especially in its west?

      The question is - do you understand what "tightly cover" is, ie. to create a SYSTEM of airspace control over the state + control of adjacent territories in a ravaged, war-torn country .... at the same time, take into account that in the best times the servicemen of this country did not differ in special skill and CONTROL !!!
      Believe me, there’s such a mess… ours is far from all right, for various reasons. In addition, the seven nannies will always have a child undernourished, unfinished, etc. under the list ....

    From the documents of the Israeli Defense Ministry: a Syrian air defense missile that shot down IL-20 was released an hour after the Israeli Air Force aircraft left this place.
    By the time the Syrian air defense worked, the F-16s had already returned to Israeli airspace. Fighters left the operational zone of shelling even before a Russian plane entered it; it is impossible for a radar operator to confuse F-16 and IL-20.

    By the way, the president of Russia refuses to answer the phone calls from the president of Syria after the Syrian forces shot down a Russian plane.

    It seems to me that our IL-20 was not shot down by the Syrians. And they put it on them. The story with Kursk is repeated. Therefore, B. Assad was silent for four days.
