This is permitted by international law under Article 51 of the UN Charter, which gives the right to individual and collective protection, calling for someone to protect themselves. ”
According to al-Arabi, the criticism of the Russian VKS with which he recently spoke did not concern this aspect, he criticized the attacks aviation on peaceful objects.
“We are not talking about this (the operations of the Russian Aerospace Forces in Syria), we are talking about the attendant (operation) destruction described in reports from reliable parties that these attacks were inflicted on hospitals and schools and injured civilians”
