Including along the Golan Heights: the first joint patrol of Russian and Syrian military aviation took place in the skies of Syria

The photo is illustrative

The first joint patrol of aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces and the Syrian Air Force took place in the airspace of this country. The fighter jets of the two countries passed along the borders of the Syrian Arab Republic. This is reported by the Ministry of Defense of Russia.

Russian combat aviation jointly with the Syrian Air Force conducted patrols of the border areas of the country. The patrol route ran along the Golan Heights, then along the southern border, up the Euphrates and over the northern regions of the country. In addition to the patrol itself, the aviation of the two countries worked out joint actions when striking ground targets. At the same time, Russian aircraft carried out bombing of targets at one of the military training grounds of the Syrian army, and Syrian Air Force fighters provided air cover.

According to the press service of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Russia's Su-34 front-line bombers and Su-35 fighters, as well as the A-50 AWACS aircraft, which provide target designation, took part in the patrol. Russian planes took off from Khmeimim air base. The Syrian Air Force was represented by the MiG-23 and MiG-29 deployed at the Seykal and Dumayr airfields in the vicinity of Damascus. Preliminary training took place at a Russian air base, and action plans were brought to the Syrian pilots.

The Russian military department stressed that this joint patrol was the first, but in the future joint flights will become regular.

Recall that the Russian Aerospace Forces are in Syria in 2015 at the invitation of the official authorities of the country. Over the past period, Russian pilots have inflicted many blows on militants and terrorists, helping the Syrian army to liberate the country's territory. To date, most of the grouping has been withdrawn from Syria, but the remaining aircraft continue to provide assistance to Damascus.

This is something new in Russia's tactics in Israel, I'm sorry I made a mistake in Syria.

So subtly noticed, and most importantly consciously. What, worries?

Well, just a display of the flag.

Not just a "flag demonstration" .... This is a "subtle hint" to those who want to bombard Syria from Lebanese airspace!

[Niko]

All this has already happened. A huge amount of equipment donated to "friends", "instructors" and not even just "patrol" but direct aggression ..... and what is the result of EVERY war with Israel? Piles of scrap metal, and trophies for Israel. Funerals, funerals and funerals for everyone else who wants to participate.

Yes, you are right, this is new in the tactics of the Aerospace Forces, in order to somehow compensate for the lack of action during the actions of the Liechternstein Air Force.
But for Israel, there is another opportunity to follow and listen to all the joint actions on the other side of the border.
Yes, once again conduct exercises by following the take-off of aircraft from airfields in the direction of the border with Israel and accurately calculate the time to cross the border and take the necessary measures.
Well, these patrols will not affect the actions against the Ksir and Hizbalah in any way.

[BABAY22]

The Syrian Air Force was presented with the MiG-23 and MiG-29

Of course I apologize.
Everything was going fine, but then Syrian aircraft took off into the sky.
And the work of the Russian Air Force was added ...

[Barberry25]

Well, taking into account the fact that earlier all Syrian aviation was engaged in barmaley bombing at best, then air patrols are already cool, this means that the Syrian army is returning the experience of a normal army, and not purely a "war against terrorists"

What are you, watching them all this time, are you not ashamed or scared?

As you know, in the area of ​​the Golan Heights, the ideas about the border between Israel and Syria do not coincide.
I wonder what version of the border was patrolled?

[Prisoner]

By Russian!

[Ingvar 72]

By Russian!

Which for some reason coincided with the Israeli version!

[Prisoner]

So what? Does this really stress you out? Exhale.

[Ingvar 72]

No, I am amused by the naivety of some uryaklov (as Zadornov said).

[Prisoner]

Exhale. Taki should help.

[Kesha1980]

Yes, and that's understandable. Given the state of war between Syria and Israel, "the sky over the Golan is closed." And the Syrian MiGs would be attacked. Well, if logically. I don't think Israel would be idle.
But the return to patrolling their territories is one of the positive signs.
But the replacement of the Syrian Air Force fleet also suggests itself. Although of course there is no money. They also "clean" their territory, and it is simply unmeasured to pour money into restoring the infrastructure. There, everything will be in "war mode" for a long time.

You are good with logic
This is what it was.
The Israeli Air Force shot down a Syrian military aircraft in its airspace in the southern Golan Heights,
which was 1,5 km inside Israel, according to the Israeli army.

The Minister of Defense of Israel on the air of the radio station "Kol Israel" said that a Russian plane flew into the country's airspace by mistake, according to Interfax
“There was a minor intrusion by Russian aircraft for about a mile (1,6 km). We got in touch with the pilot, and the plane changed course and returned to Syria,” the defense minister said.
That's why they fly together.

[Kesha1980]

That's why they fly together.
.

Of course, otherwise it's dangerous)
I remembered.
On August 21, 2019, Israeli soldiers fired on a civilian aircraft Fly Synthesis Texan EVO RG over the Golan Heights, mistaken for a Syrian aircraft. The damaged aircraft was able to land. Israel is extremely cool and therefore you can only fly together). Separately, it's scary.

I still think in neutral, so as not to disturb anyone.

[Pavel57]

The MiG-23 does not look very convincing as a cover aircraft.

[tralflot1832]

The Syrians were bombing, we were covering. Details came, after patrolling the borders, they bombed in the central regions of Syria.

[mitroha]

Quote: tralflot1832

The Syrians were engaged in bombing, we are a cover.

Much more logical

[tralflot1832]

It looks like one of the points of the expected Russian military response.

[Prisoner]

Unlikely. Where is Israel and where is NatA? Now, if pins in Syria begin to be seriously clamped down, yes.

[rotmistr60]

patrols passed along the Golan Heights

My personal opinion is that they agreed with Israel in advance, or at least warned in advance in order to avoid incidents.

[Soldatov V.]

It looks like Russia and Syria are trying to stop a possible provocation by Israel to increase the degree of tension in the world. You can still increase the patrol area at the expense of Lebanon (after agreeing with it, of course) from where Israel is conducting provocative shelling of Syria, trying to accidentally get into Russian troops.

[anthonindex]

The Shiites of Lebanon lie tightly under Iran, the Christians under France. For whom to risk the lives of Russian pilots?

[Soldatov V.]

And you lie under America, which will soon change the color of the skin from white to black.

Only unlike Lebanon, we defend ourselves. However, you like to risk the lives of your pilots for the Iranian mullahs. Good luck.

And you don’t risk a crowd of American instructors. Do not write to amers and Brits that they are risking the lives of their military. Even grumble at the State Department for the fact that they evacuate embassies with their families unnecessarily. Maybe you protect their interests, but do not care about your own?

We have plenty of our instructors.

Okay, Americans, but what does the shaved have to do with it? Israel has very cool relations with Britain. Britain - they support more Arabs.

Quote: sniperino

Did I miss something? Are the families of American diplomats being taken out of Israel?

I recognized myself, I thought, since under the United States, this is about Ukraine. Israel has a more complicated relationship with the hegemon, although no less close.

[Paranoid50]

It smacks of anti-Semitism.

[voyaka uh]

And then, at some point, a Syrian fighter will fire a missile at an Israeli aircraft, and, according to the old tradition, hit a Russian one.
And again it will be: "the Israelis vilely covered themselves with Russian aircraft."

In vain, the VKS are contacting the Syrians ...

[vhunter]

Have you heard the Chizh song about the Phantom? :)

[tralflot1832]

Duc already has information, the Syrians only bombed something in Syria, we covered it. So when you pour it into Syria, look around if a Russian is sitting on its tail.

And then the Jews complain about anti-Semitism. You yourself cultivate it and then wonder why no one loves you. If you are the chosen people, then you are chosen to be canned food and confirm this with all your actions. Didn't it occur to you?

and now instead of Jews and anti-Semitism we insert Russians and Russophobia and get a typical attitude towards non-indigenous nationality in Chechnya and the Asian republics. Didn't it occur to you?

The warrior is 100 percent right, you need such friends by the trunk and to the museum, in any case they will try to send a knife in the back, remember the Caucasus, Central Asia, the Basmachi. When they get hit hard, they're like friends, but the smell of money destroys everything.

At this point, everyone, including Russia and China, is well aware of the real weakness of the United States.

Western hawks tend to live in their own bubbles, in realms of power limited by their own circles where everything goes according to their plans, but outside the bubbles the rest of the world is not stupid.

It's pretty realistic to think that the United States and Turkey, not necessarily working together, had a hand in the recent events in Kazakhstan. It is also quite realistic to think about Russian retaliation against both countries.

Because there is no more money, the USA will leave everywhere where there is no direct gesheft and critical danger for them. And it's good if they do it according to plan, prepared and coordinated with other interested parties. By the way, the departure from Afghanistan was clearly planned, the preparations were made "as usual", and the other parties were treated in the style of "the problems of the Indians of the sheriff do not care."

Those. no matter how anyone would like, support (any, including political, because it also costs resources) of the United States of Israel will decline, and Israel needs to be ready for this. However, in Israel everything seems to be not so rotten, the leadership clearly understands everything and is ready for different developments.

By the way, the leadership of other US outposts is far from being so adequate.
