The US Navy sent a P-8 Poseidon patrol aircraft to the shores of Syria - in the area of ​​the MTO point of the Russian Navy's Tartus

Airspace and air traffic monitoring websites are publishing data showing that the US Navy has deployed an anti-submarine patrol aircraft to the western air borders of the Syrian Arab Republic. We are talking about the P-8 Poseidon aircraft.

Materials indicate that at first the Poseidon (AE6863) proceeded south of Cyprus over the Mediterranean Sea to the air borders of Lebanon, then turned northward, passing almost along the entire Syrian coast. At the same time, the American plane deviated, as they say, away from the borders of the SAR in the area of ​​the location of the Russian military base Khmeimim in the province of Latakia.

Then, for quite a long time, he circled a few tens of kilometers from the air borders of the SAR - in the area of ​​the logistics point (MTO) of the Russian Navy Tartus.

Other sources stated that two American aircraft could fly to the shores of Syria at the moment. There are no official reports at the moment.

It can be assumed that it was Russian military facilities on the coast of the Syrian Arab Republic that were interested in the American plane (or planes).

Boeing P-8 Poseidon aircraft are capable of carrying up to 9 tons of various weapons, including small 324-mm Mark 54 torpedoes.

Earlier, the United States considered the possibility of withdrawing its contingent from Syria. At the same time, it was stated that the United States did not intend to completely scale back its air force presence in the Syrian direction.

The "masters" of the world are spying on everything. Looks like it became very scary to live.

Russia then resists and begins to snap! So they begin to spit on us from all sides and shit petty. We need to hold on, otherwise Russia will have a Khan and will never recover.

Well, that Poseidon is like Poseidon. There were before the Orions, they knew how to deal with them.

[Asad]

And how to deal with them in peacetime?

Russian politicians are pushing them too sluggishly. A lot of undue attention is paid to "failing partners".

... So they are dragging / sniffing there constantly ...

[VORON538]

Moreover, the CHSH, as always, the "interests" of America are spread far beyond the borders of the Americans themselves (tens of thousands of kilometers for them are like their territory and that's it). At the same time, they reproach Russia for having interests in its own border states!

[rocket757]

So it is.
There is no need to puff in vain, go about your business.

As far as I remember, the American contingents in Syria are covered by the so-called refugees. The question is how refugees they are. It is necessary to carry out an information operation, to spread that Syria, together with Russia, are preparing to strike at foreign military contingents, especially PMCs. Let them either get nervous or arrange a Nanai argish towards the border , for speed, you can also hit.

[ironic]

And if they understand in their own way and hit first? Again there will be many articles that all the axes have been shot down, and all the destruction has already been restored?

[Soldatov V.]

They are not as brave as you imagine them. They operate surreptitiously in foreign territory and we are carrying out a peacekeeping mission. They will think ten times, but Israel can arrange a dirty trick.

[ironic]

And what has courage to do with it? They follow orders from their superiors. On the territory of Syria, they operate as part of a coalition waging a war with the gangs of the failed ISIS. Illegal by international standards.
Israel can only inflict harassment on those threatening Israel, for those it is really a dirty trick.

[Soldatov V.]

Ask your soldiers what bravery has to do with it. And do not be fooled, they would like to destroy ISIS in a week. They would do it. It kills a person, and the state is hatred directed outward. This Syria was given to you. You are like Sparta, and what is its history? All bye.

[ironic]

I myself have been a reservist for 11 years, three weeks a year, why should I ask someone? Well, yes, the Russian Federation has announced victory over ISIS four times, and the bombs are still flying and flying, why didn't it cope in three weeks? Are you talking about hatred for every Mr. in relation to it, or is it just the United States (they are stupid)? Judging by the history, we are not like Sparta, therefore, our history is not the same. And hello to you.

That's exactly what I went. They also "go" to the latrine. Can you tell a bullet from a cartridge case, "reservist"))?

[ironic]

You are now walking by yourself, without leaving the forum, into a puddle. But that doesn't bother you. Come volunteer to help those zigzagging in Syria, you will meet a bullet, you will find out that it is not confused with a cartridge case.
