British fighter-bombers Tornado will fly on combat missions in Syria, accompanied by Typhoon fighters, in order to avoid accidental rapprochement with Russian aircraft, reports RIA News The Telegraph message.

British Tornado in Syria will cover Typhoon fighters


The newspaper notes that, "unlike the Tornado, the Typhoon fighters are equipped with more advanced radar and air defense systems."

"This decision was made in connection with the fears of possible random clashes in the sky over Syria," writes the publication. In addition, the placement of the C-400 SAM system at the Khmeimim base, as well as the equipment of Russian fighters with air-to-air missiles, played a role.

Commented on the situation aviation expert John Lake: "Any aircraft that take off from the British Air Force base Akrotiri (in Cyprus) fall into the range of Russian missiles, and Typhoon have impressive capabilities to protect themselves and others."

Recall the first attacks on DAISH British aircraft inflicted on the night of December 3.

      The Syrian army is flying to finish off, fighters against world terrorism.

      PARIS, December 7th. / TASS /. Airplanes of the Western coalition countries mistakenly attacked a camp of Syrian government forces. According to AFP, as a result, four Syrian soldiers died, 13 were injured. For this and flew!

      From the point of view of military science, the Anglo-Saxons act correctly. You will not say anything! And here is how the S-400 factor will work ... After all, it is clear that now from the coalition side, no, no, and provocative situations will arise! Accidentally or deliberately, they run into the use of air defense systems on them ... How then will the coalition or specifically the pilot of this Typhoon react? And how far are the parties willing to go?

        Do you think they will be knocked down ?? Our people are extremely afraid of catching someone from NATO .. ​​For any provocations, they will respond with the next chatter of Peskov, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the generals. Due to such a soft-bodied policy, not only the igil has grown, but the western coalition has gathered all the rabble from all over the planet, and everyone will act against us and the Syrian army.

          sooner or later something will have to be decided. And here are two options
          1) cover up the Syrian army.
          2) give up everything and run away from Syria and run, run, run .........

            they are already passing through it for no reason.
            Everything is simple with the Americans. If they don’t attack, this does not mean that they are so noble and that they have calculated that the damage will be great for them.
            They didn’t and did everything to check Russia on the Turks (Russia will answer or not answer their downed plane). Russia did not answer, which means that it is possible to bomb the Syrian army with impunity, even under the guise of fighting ISIS.
            They will destroy the Syrian army and then the ISIS terrorists will shave off their beards and bury their weapons and banners and the US will say "here they are moderate."
            At the moment, Russia needs to increase the air group of combat aircraft in Syria and more intensively destroy the militants so that even the Syrian army, weakened by airstrikes from the Americans, could withstand the fight against militants.

        Accidentally or specifically, they will run into the use of an air defense missile system against them ... How then will the coalition or specifically the pilot of this Typhoon react?

        For sure, Typhoon will carry anti-radar missiles and air-to-air missiles. In the case of the use of the S-400 air defense missile system (ZRS), he will shoot PRR without thinking. In Syria, we do not have an intermediate link between the long-range and short-range air defense systems - the Buk-M2 air defense system, but there should be. So he would then be a means of fighting Typhoon and their main danger. The consequence may be the loss of the S-400 guidance station, if the launch of the PRR is made, then with a greater degree of probability it will be irrevocably disabled. The Buk-M2 air defense system is needed in Syria and urgently!

        Not from missiles, but from the possible unpredictable actions of our VKS. The British are afraid that there aren’t any fighters, they want to stick their Tornado into the Syrian land. They only forget that for this we don’t need to raise fighters either.

    The statement is strange to impossibility.
    If suddenly the small British Typhoons, coupled with the Tornads, suddenly intersect with our Su-24/34 or someone else from the flying fraternity, they will in any way not be able to avoid "accidental rapprochement" with our escort fighters. Is that to get out of there farther and faster. And if suddenly the missile with the S-300 / S-400 decides to "accidentally get close", then in this case, even dump away and quickly fail.

        This is not a hysteria, this is a completely fair outrage. You can miss a meter, two, ten, but not two kilometers. The attack on the Syrian base is a planned act of aggression and the ghouls must answer for this. Under the agreement, our VKS also cover the Syrian Military, under our cover the Syrians conduct their operations. And what is the difference between the attack on the Syrians from Daish and this NATO attack? Attack she and Africa attack. Today they struck at the Syrians, and swallow and tomorrow we’ll make a couple of kilometers of mistakes. They only understand the power.
