In Syria, for the first time, a joint combat operation was conducted by the crews of aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces and the SAR Air Force

The Information Department of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation issued a report that a joint air operation was carried out in Syria for the first time, aimed at the destruction of terrorist groups, using the aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces and the SAR air force. On the Russian side, Su-25CM attack aircraft were involved in the bombing of terrorist infrastructure. Syrian MiG-29 fighter jets covered Russian military aircraft striking militants.

RIA News cites the press release of the main Russian military department:

The crews of the Su-25 WKS of the Russian Federation and the MiG-29 airplanes of the SAR Air Force performed a joint combat mission in the skies over Syria. A pair of MiG-29 fighters carried out a cover in the air of Russian attack aircraft, which attacked the infrastructure of terrorists. Syrian fighters flew from a home airfield and met Russian attack aircraft in the designated area, taking off from Khmeimim airfield, after which they escorted and covered Russian attack aircraft throughout the flight to the area of ​​strikes and back.

The report says that all aircraft successfully returned to their home base.

And at the Khmeimim airbase, representatives of the Russian Defense Ministry awarded Syrian soldiers who showed themselves during the search and rescue operation on the day of the attack on the Russian Su-24M Turkish fighter, and during the liberation of the city of Salma. This city, located in the province of Latakia, was a stronghold of terrorist groups, including the Al-Nusra Front group.

LifeNews quotes the words of the Syrian Colonel awarded by the Russian Order:

This order was awarded to me by the Russian military command for the courage I had shown in the province of Latakia, in the battles for the cities of Gmam, Guaybek and Salma and for participating in the operation at the height of Gmam, where gunmen shot down a Russian helicopter.

Quote: Inok10

.. by the way, the Syrians were a good couple .. tight ..

The question is: in what state are they 29th? Hopefully not the 87th year. It would be better if the Syrian bombers accompanied the SU-30, it would have been calmer. Yes, but there are none of them, Syrian attack aircraft-bombers on a serious scale, and Gaddafi did not have, and Saddam ... This is about the aggressiveness of totalitarian regimes. And this down Erdogan can set a pair of f-16s and spit on his state border ... Judging by the fact that the A-50 started flying there, the situation is serious. BUT! Again, judging by the news on the Internet, a turning point just these days occurs, the Syrians are freeing their country with small steps, the main thing is that those who stayed in the cities believe in victory, and it will come. Here, many wrote about the creation of PMCs in Syria. Damn it, why not? For 4 years, many soldiers died, but do not close the borders - trouble
, so these lice will climb from Turkey and Iraq. Optimal solution . "The private security company is guarding the border." If 500 "refugees" and 700 donkeys of the escort, loaded with weapons, were killed, then all questions to the director in the Solomon Islands ... They will sort it out.

[andrewkor]

And they answered for Sevastopol !!!!

[Extraneous]

After the shooting of the royal family by the Bolsheviks in Syria, there was the so-called "Arab mourning" by historians: Hundreds of Syrians, both Christians and Muslims, committed suicide. They believed that in a world where they had committed an atrocity against justice, there was no longer any reason to live.
So Syria is worthy of help in any scenario.

Syrian pilots have been fighting continuously for 4 years. So they have experience.

It was shown that the SAR aviation was transferred to the rank of "untouchable". No air defense system of "neighboring countries" will dare even turn towards such "tandems" now. So another question is who is under whose "cover".

[Extraneous]

Syrian pilots have been fighting for the fifth year on old planes, which are repaired with whatever God will send. So - good, no doubt. Now they are being trained to work together and the rules of fighting in Russian, which is undoubtedly a very necessary matter. Fighters and ours are there. I think that there is no special need for cover with Syrian or Iranian fighters, as it already was. Purely working out for the coherence of actions in case of need, both the flight crew and the tracking systems, and joint command.

[Alexander_]

The internship requires insurance.

[The black]

It's a good news. It would be good for our military not only to successfully kill the barmaley themselves, but also to teach this to the Syrian pilots, to prepare them so that they could further guard their skies on their own.

[Irokez]

This is probably the joint exercises and the development of interaction between pilots from different countries.
It is likely that their fighters for support do not have the support of the Syrians. It does not interfere. And there you see, the MiG-29, even if the old ones will be thrown to the Syrians to accompany and cover our attack aircraft.
Nice and helpful.
Oh, how much earlier we had Su-17s and where are they, and they would have helped Assad.

[Yak28]

SU-17, MiG-23. MiG-27 in the trash. During the Chechen war, the General Staff decided to use inexpensive MiG-27 and Su-17 in service. When the military, together with the MiG-27 designers arrived at the storage bases, they were shocked by hundreds of killed planes that were standing and rotting with the wiring torn out, instead of competent conservation.

[Just BB]

Competent conservation lasted only 2 years ...
And then, under the supervision of NATO inspectors, "planned modernization" ... into scrap metal.
In 1996, there was no longer the Stepninskaya BRS, Slavgorod, from the Tambov part of the aircraft to Lipetsk were transferred ...
And all according to the directives of the General Staff - why go there - "we are working, people know"

[Maganaskan91]

Well done guys. Good luck in joint operations. And so that there were more such flights.

[Militia]

This is a good sign. So far, de facto, only the Syrian army is our ally and assistant in the fight against Daesh. The rest, de jure, are only fighting in words. Who heard the thread where did France go with its Comanche leader Hollandek? With a fitted aircraft carrier and her planes. And the noise was that show-off and bending of fingers.

Why would they? There is a war right there, and at home there is a crispy baguette and red wine with oysters .. "Let the Russians fight, and we'll see from the outside."

By the way, thanks for reminding
I somehow missed the information ... did they even swim to the shores of Syria? And why are they behaving so quietly? After all, how did they start ... It felt like an aircraft carrier would crash into the Syrian coast on the move, and the sides were packed onto the coast Musketeers waving their skewers over their heads ... and in hand-to-hand combat! And then just some kind of bashful “bunch.” The “Whisperer” was let in and quieted down.

[figwam]

I hope the order is not the last.

[WE ARE MAKING]

I would like to believe that after the liberation of Syria, the Syrians will not forget the help of Russia ... And that is, the country ...

[gray_angel]

it is more like training the Syrians with our aces, so that they can soon defend their border from the stoned Turks themselves.

[APASUS]

Ours are now massively switching to the Su-30, and the released Su-27 can be handed over to the Syrians by installments or by barter with oil, vegetables, fruits.

[Knight Rider]

And that no one posted the video?

Just super! I have a friend in my life - I trust him more than myself. So I would like to say the same about the Syrians, I hope they will not forget about help in difficult times.

In such operations, one problem may arise, language.

[Bochik]

All Syrian pilots studied in Russian schools in Russian. What problems can there be?

[Just BB]

When? When did they study?
In the last (before the war) years, training took place at its own base in Aleppo.
I met senior officers who were studying in Bulgaria.
They studied in the USSR, in Russia - I have not met such

[Mama_Cholli]

Some countries should see their involvement in this event. Indeed, until recently, the stupid ISIS bandits did not have their own pilots and aircraft, but now ISIS even has its own heads of state with their own Air Force and Navy.

[Knight Rider]

I have long been waiting for the Iranian Air Force to join the joint work with us and the Syrians

[Mr shrek]

Nicely, harmoniously and clearly passed on the video. I think the Syrian pilots have shown themselves with dignity, ours will not fly with anyone either.
How our "Drying" lacked them ....

News in topic.
The agreement between Russia and Syria on the deployment of an aviation group of the Russian Armed Forces on Syrian territory was concluded for an indefinite period. This is stated in the text of the agreement published on the official portal of legal information.

"The Khmeimim airfield with its infrastructure and the necessary territory allocated by agreement of the Parties are provided for the use of the Russian Federation free of charge," the text of the agreement says.

[Old old]

Ours probably took a closer look at the Syrians before entrusting the cover.
The only "but": to attack our planes now is to face a tough and unpredictable response, but they can try to attack the Syrians.
And in an air dump "on a short" S-400 may be useless, it is still a "long arm" complex.

[atamankko]

Syrian pilots are literate, quick to train and trustworthy.

[SOKOL777]

Very good news!
Syrian aviation will strengthen our grouping in Syria.
Syrian pilots are good and know very well the areas of combat.
Also, it looks like a unified command has arrived, which is great!

In general, the Syrian brothers, welcome to the big league!)))

[sounddoc]

Maybe the local flying experts will minus me, but I think it would be fair if the Syrian pilots accidentally kicked the F-16 of the Turkish Air Force over their territory. Bold dreams ...

[Garris199]

Rather, our cover Syrians (authority and air defense), while they train to accompany the attack aircraft. I doubt that these old 29s can be useful in a real mess.

[Just BB]

The video above shows that the Syrian guys fly and it's not bad even on the MiG-21.
And the pilots - "even flew with Pokryshkin"

[PatriotKZ]

It's good to do joint combat missions. You can shoot down a Turkish F-16, and say they say it was shot down by Syrian pilots ... It's time to return the debt, otherwise the Houthis over the sky of Yemen have already shot down 5 units of F-16 Saudi Arabia.

[red_october]

So long ago you had to fly in pairs!

The Syrian pilot is speaking: "Dear! You are on our territory!" - And the Russian one knocks down - that is, those whose arms (or missiles) are longer
