Two Syrian Su-24 approached Cyprus airspace

Syrian Su-24MK * at work

British radars at the RAF airbase at Akrotiri and Turkish air defense radars detected an approach to the exclusive Cyprus airspace of two unidentified combat aircraft flying from Syria. The incident occurred even 2 September, but it became known only now.


Su-24 fighter-bomber pilots refused to respond to requests from base dispatchers and fulfill their requirements.

The British command decided to intercept. In the air were raised Typhoon fighters. At the same time, two Turkish F-16 fighter jets were raised from the NATO airbase in Incirlik, reports MIGnews, citing the Mirror newspaper. The publication claims that the pilots were ordered to shoot down Syrian aircraft in case they violate the airspace of Cyprus.

The Syrian pilots, seeing British aircraft on their radars, turned around and flew to Syria.

Earlier, Western journalists declassified details of the upcoming strike on Syria. According to the Associated Press, foreign missiles will hit at once dozens of targets in the country in the predawn hours. In this case, the date of the attack is not specified. Dozens of Tomahawk missiles will be launched at strategic sites related to the military and state structures of Syria. However, chemical warehouses weapons will not be bombarded.

The attack will last for several hours, after which the NATO military using the data obtained from satellites, will assess the damage. Then, if necessary, another blow will be struck, and possibly several blows.

not the moment to provoke

An ordinary reconnaissance operation, of course, it’s not known what equipment is on airplanes, but at a minimum you can guess who and how many from which bases will fly to intercept, safe departure routes home, the situation at sea, and maybe determine the radar exposure. 100500 that the friends of Syria accompanied and doubled about flying up to interception and from where. In principle, the calculation is clear, the next check of the enemy about his location. I am sure the Syrian pilots did not intend to stream.

LONDON, September 8th. / Corr. ITAR-TASS Alan Badov. British Hawker Typhoon fighters stationed in Cyprus were lifted after unidentified aircraft arriving from Syria appeared in international airspace east of the island. This was announced today by the UK Department of Defense.

Hello Alexander!
Yes, these Anglo-Saxons will lie, not expensive to take. Like, they’ve heard that the Syrians flew to Cyprus, but they didn’t spot them in time, that's what they are looking for. Surely, the Turks would have warned the British about their flights to Cyprus, the situation requires coordination. Moreover, why should they be silent on the air, and then quietly wind up. There is something wrong in the English press. They drive the blizzard.

[Garyk701]

Yes, the right move. Once amers with the Jews feel the Syrian air defense tests of their missiles. Syrians, too, need to take measurements of how much time there is, where there are radars in Cyprus and in Israel. Let them know that they did not contact the Libyan punks. Training should be carried out more, lift quickly and a lot. Maybe they only have one chance to take off, so you need to train so that you don't lose this chance to nothing.

Catching, she begins to slowly raise her happy little fellow, and only lifting her high, she notices that she has not grabbed the one who should be. With a sweep, he throws it down and starts fumbling again in search of the right man.
Here we are most often faced with those thrown out by Fortune. While they lived in Russia, Fortune raised them. When they left Russia, they fell into the clutches of a completely different Fortune.

Well, not you, we don’t know what their task was and for what purpose they were approaching Cyprus, and most importantly, were these planes Syrian. As experience shows in the media in recent years, a lot of heresies are

[Vasilenko Vladimir]

so this is most likely the task and it was, they themselves will light up highlighting the enemy’s air defense, and even found out the time of the interceptors

[Muxalet]

Flight Su-24 is a one-way flight. And the Arab pilots know this well and are ready for it. These aircraft were bought by the Arabs as man-made cruise missiles and carrying 6 tons of variously controlled explosives. Sushki with a full combat load simply does not have fuel for the return trip, they have a small radius of action, zoom, and fuel for only 30-40 minutes.

There are at least two bombers.

Obviously, yes, the news is that the Syrians, although the air defense is weak at all, and can be destroyed in the first hours (I read the analysis of the Syrian air defense at ANNAnews.info), but they are still struggling. That’s obviously what they mean. can and how much they can.

no - even 20 pieces will not approach the AUG on their own, so Syria would have such aircraft as the NATO Hawkeyes, and if we assume that these same Hawkai for some reason left their positions (as far as I know, 1-2 always hang in air above the AUG) only then there will be a chance to slap amers from behind the radio horizon, otherwise nothing ... but this is a dream, since Syria does not have any AWACS aircraft to guide its vehicles (However, with target designation, our ships can help), but here's how score a hockey in the sky? - if our interference turns on - then the war, and the Syrians have nothing to shoot down or drown it out.

I wonder if there is an opportunity to save their planes to the Syrians after a massive attack, or how everything will be almost destroyed in Iraq. If they do, I think it will be a completely different scenario for further hostilities.

That's exactly what TALES !!!

England supplied Syria with components for sarin production!
British companies sold chemicals to Syria that could be used to produce sarin nerve gas, which allegedly killed more than 1400 people in a suburb of Damascus. According to The Daily Mail, between 2004 and 2010, the British government issued five export licenses, allowing it to sell sodium fluoride to Syria, one of the main components of lethal gas.
Recently, British officials openly admitted that the supply of such goods was a clear violation of the international Protocol on the trade in hazardous substances. The fact that the government suspected Assad’s regime of stockpiling chemical weapons did not stop British companies from making profitable trade deals.
Experts do not exclude that commercial enterprises in Syria, which supplied sodium fluoride, supposedly for peaceful purposes, played only the role of intermediaries. At the same time, Britain continues to insist that the customer of the deadly substances was not the opposition, but the Assad government.
Parliamentarian Thomas Doherty, a member of the public arms control commission, called the event "a very disturbing sign." In fact, it turned out that British companies, with the support of the government, supplied prohibited substances to the country, which the West accuses of violating human rights.
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Vocational Education, which issued similar export licenses in 2012 (which, however, were not used due to the EU ban), refused to answer journalists' questions about which companies carried out such trade.
Zarin, made by combining fluorine with carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and phosphorus, is considered one of the most dangerous chemicals. It is 500 times more toxic than cyanide. The entry of sarin into the lungs paralyzes the internal muscles, as a result of which the person suffocates. One drop of substance can kill in a few minutes.
Scientists working in the Porton military research lab claim that this gas was used during a chemical attack on August 21 in the suburbs of Damascus.
However, in July, British human rights activists demanded that the government make transparent transactions for the sale of weapons. The reason was the parliamentary report, according to which the state issued more than 3 thousand licenses for the export of military goods to national companies. Most military products were shipped to Israel, Saudi Arabia, and China. However, among the customers were also Syria and Iran. Such sales contradict statements by the British authorities that weapons cannot be sold to countries where internal conflicts or repression are possible.
According to experts, the situation is caused by the fact that in Western countries weapons are produced by private companies. At the same time, a number of states have very flexible rules that allow private business to easily obtain government licenses for production and sale.

[SASCHAmIXEEW]

The newspaper Global Reservers writes that they are trying to trick Obama into a conflict in Syria! This is a waste maneuver, they say, they deceived us with a gas attack, generally, sorry for what ... What will happen?

[Cuba86]

In the current situation, on the part of the United States, and we should expect any provocations, give these minions of the dermocracy only an excuse to start faster. Assad is not stupid, I don’t think that it would really be Syrian aircraft, although, as they wrote above, it’s not like they really are.

[lotar]

But I’m wondering if, in response to terror from the United States, launching about a hundred cruise missiles on their fleet from Syria, can their carrier formations survive? Who would like to see this in the event of an attack? I think no one would refuse.

[Storm]

Mig-23BN is a fighter-bomber, its value as a fighter tends to zero. There is no locator - they will beat, they will not even let me close.

[Vlad_Mir]

And they have something to "shoot" without entering the air defense zone ?!

If we mean the air-to-ground ASP (such as the American JSOW system), then Syria does not and cannot have such weapons. Most likely mostly uncontrolled AAS. There may be a small number of "laser" bombs or missiles.

It can already be said that Russia, or rather Putin, did everything they could to protect Syria. Chinese help is urgently needed now. To hold a meeting of the leaders of Russia and China, a joint statement on its results, sending a solid naval formation to the coast of Syria.

It is very likely that you are right. This message is like preparatory information to prepare and warm up public opinion for upcoming events. And then suddenly unknown, supposedly Syrian, planes appear that are supposedly trying to bomb American ships, and then the United States and its allies will have their hands untied - a reflection of Syrian aggression against the United States.

They would be shot down.

But bombing an aircraft carrier would be nice. =)


unfortunately, it remains only to dream about it recourse
they will not be allowed close to the aircraft carrier. Although if all that they have (about 20 pieces) run simultaneously ... then, theoretically, there are chances .. wink But it will be, "one way".

no - even 20 pieces will not approach the AUG on their own, so Syria would have such aircraft as the NATO Hawkeyes, and if we assume that these same Hawkai for some reason left their positions (as far as I know, 1-2 always hang in air above the AUG) only then there will be a chance to slap amers from behind the radio horizon, otherwise nothing ... but this is a dream, since Syria does not have any AWACS aircraft to guide its vehicles (However, with target designation, our ships can help), but here's how score a hockey in the sky? - if our interference turns on - then the war, and the Syrians have nothing to shoot down or drown it out.

well done, shoot, at the same time feel what NATO breathes there.

The Art of War (Sun Tzu)
The methods of warfare are based on deception. Therefore, when we are able to attack, we must look as if we are not capable, and when we use forces, we must look inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe that we are far away, when we are far away, we must make him believe that we are close.
