American air strike on Syria reported

86

A soldier was killed at a Syrian Arab Army checkpoint and two others were injured. This happened as a result of an air attack on an army checkpoint in the Tell al-Zakhab area near the city of Qamishli.

This was announced by the correspondent of the SANA news agency in Hasak.



The information about the American airstrike is also confirmed by the Syrian state television.

The Ikhbariya channel claims that this happened immediately after the Syrians refused to allow a US military patrol through the checkpoint into the SAA-controlled zone.

The Syrian newspaper at-Watan adds that one of the injured soldiers is an officer. The publication does not specify who owned the aircraft that struck the military.

The SAR Department of Defense later said that the airstrike was fired by two United States Army helicopters.

The US Department of Defense has not yet made any statements or comments on this matter.

The Syrian Arab Army is subordinate to the official government of its country and the lawfully elected President of Syria, Bashar al-Assad. At the moment, she is conducting military operations against numerous illegal groups.

        It is necessary to smash the air defense and machine-gun pillboxes into several camouflaged points around the checkpoint and other fortified points. That would not be able to disorganize with one blow and guarantee the answer.

            First, that's why I said DISCOVERED.
            Secondly, knowing about their existence, the Americans will not poke their heads at all. At least by helicopters. And the attack of cruise missiles is detected from afar, and they can be shot down "first", unlike helicopters, which can just fly past, and it is better to wait for their attack, and then respond
            The best war that never started.

              - There are (for 30 years already!) High-precision weapons, including those with semi-active laser homing, accuracy (CEP) ~ 1 m. The height of application is above the upper limit of the MANPADS destruction zone.
              And the helicopters are certainly a pity. And then there is the UAV - which is not too bad. And there is already more than 20 years of experience in their application.
              And cruise missiles are too expensive to be used on every stump.

      We can state the facts and it will endlessly, the Americans will continue to hunt people. ATS needs to do something in revenge, eg. the simplest thing is to mine the routes of American technology. And so that your own people do not suffer, it is possible with a remote firing position.

      Unlike us, the Americans do not stand on ceremony with anyone and are not afraid to put anyone in their place. Patrol is not allowed - get it! The next time this will not happen again, the Americans will drive with impunity, and the Syrian military will bow to them at the gate.
      Can you imagine this with our patrol somewhere in Idlib? Do not imagine - this will never happen. ... Because our people are afraid of the Turks and the same Americans to upset.

About the "pretzel" on the sidewalks, I generally keep quiet. It's like a very relaxed comparison, so as not to violate the rules of the site. smile

      The US military opened fire on a Syrian military checkpoint in Tel Dahab southwest of Qamishlo.
      According to unconfirmed reports, the shooting was fired in response. According to other information, the Syrians simply did not let the patrol pass, after which they started shooting at them.

      Later, the US Armed Forces AH-64 Apache helicopter, called in for support, struck the checkpoint.
      One Syrian was killed, two were wounded.

      And then, in response, winged aircraft from American ships will arrive, or a massive air raid on the already tortured (by Jews, Turks, Kurds and Barmaley) Syrian army. In response, in the international community, only the Russian Federation will express concern + boast about its air defense systems, they say we shot down several winged ones, and that's it. Does Assad need it ????

Would they escalate confrontation? If so, to what level? The fact is that, given the limited forces and resources, the Americans rigidly maintain the "status quo".

    At least they are capable of making such decisions and are sure to calculate and analyze all the consequences of such a blow, although no one invited them there, they were there at the "call of the heart", but ours have a completely legitimate presence there, and snot etc. .n.d.s.s.a.w.s.c.i.e. there has long been a reason to reel in a fist, and this is not the first case, so why does not this happen, I understand that direct confrontation will not lead to anything good, but a well-planned operation should cool the ardor of the world lawlessness.

                        Do you have Rosstat data for this too? Can you throw a reference? I haven't seen such holes for a long time.
                        Nah, why should I grind it

      They occupy other positional areas.
      And the destruction of the US military at the moment is not yet included in the plans of the CAA.
      But if they become silt to run up, they can get a serious rocket attack on their bases.
      Iran has recently carried out a warning missile strike on a US base.

      And nothing further. Russia is helping Assad against the "barmapies", not against the United States. And the Syrians have enough problems even without America, they won't openly trample on the United States. If possible, they will shoot down such a helicopter during the raid. Or someone unidentified will launch something on the convoy of American technology. But nothing more.

    The Ikhbariya channel claims that this happened immediately after the Syrians refused to allow a US military patrol through the checkpoint into the SAA-controlled zone.
    Quite boozy, how much can you give them a descent? For this it is necessary to shoot down such helicopters, since this can be done with the help of MANPADS

    ... the SAR Department of Defense said that the airstrike was fired by two United States Army helicopters.

    In fact, the Ministry of Defense of the SAR has declared the US-Luftwaffe aircraft to be a legitimate military target.
