Media: Syrian Mi-24 shot down in the area of ​​Palmyra

Not far from Palmyra, IG fighters shot down a Syrian Air Force Mi-24 helicopter, the fate of the crew is unknown, reports Interfax.

Russian attack helicopters Mi-24 at Khmeimim airfield

“The Mi-24 helicopter of the Syrian Armed Forces is lost in the Palmyra region. He was shot down by terrorists from the ground, ”a military source told the agency.

“The fate of the crew is not yet known,” he added.

Yesterday, terrorists, through their agency Amaq, stated that they managed to shoot down a Russian helicopter in the countryside east of Palmyra. However, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation denied this information.

“All Russian helicopter gunships in the Syrian Arab Republic returned to the airfields after completing the planned missions. There are no losses of Russian aircraft, ”the department said.

The Russian military at the same time reported that in 40 kilometers north-west of Palmyra, the IG units made several unsuccessful attempts to dislodge government troops from their positions.

“During the day, ISIS militants, with fire support of mortars and pickups with anti-aircraft guns ZU-23, repeatedly attacked the positions of the Syrian Arab Republic armed forces units in the Shair gas field in 40 kilometers north-west of Palmyra (Homs province). All the attacks were repelled, the militants suffered significant losses, ”said the Russian reconciliation center in the UAR.

On the western infe - shot down our helicopter. Well, it’s like a knurled person who would doubt it.

Is the "human rights monitoring center" putting a hand again? I don't even bother if I see that the news refers to them.

In continuation of yesterday's cards. Expanding the corridor north of Aleppo, another village east of Damascus was liberated and finally returned three roadblocks east of Palmyra.

US Air Force mistakenly struck SDF units in Manbidzh

On Thursday, local sources and news sources close to the “Islamic State” (an organization banned in the Russian Federation) reported that US Air Force aircraft taking part in the military campaign of the international coalition against this terrorist group struck the positions of the “Syrian Democratic Forces” ( SDF) on the outskirts of Manbij. The attack was made in the north-west of the city, where ISIS terrorists are desperately trying to break through the encirclement ring and thereby unlock Manbidge. As a result of friendly fire, two positions of the SDF units were struck. Such incidents do not occur during the campaign against IS. Almost a month ago, American aircraft mistakenly hit the militants of the armed opposition, defending the city of Marey from the advancing jihadist units of the so-called. "Caliphate", managed even for some time to block the city.

Well, where are the human rights activists who pour out crocodile tears for the innocent victims? Where is the human rights observatory in London?
And they hit the Kurds, when they began to push the IG.
SDF troops continue to attack the bastion of the IG in the province of Aleppo
Why did the Americans bombard their own people? And here is the answer ...

Following the recent successful offensive of the Tiger division of the Syrian Arab Army off the Castello Highway, the route linking the eastern quarters of Aleppo to Idlib province and Turkey was cut, the SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces) launched an unexpected attack in the area of ​​the complex student residences. If this operation will bear fruit and the Kurds manage to occupy this area, they will unite with the “Tigers” on the other side of the key highway, thus closing the militants circle in the eastern part of the city of Aleppo. Opposition fighters and all their jihadists are now in a desperate situation. Their forces are stretched, there are not enough people, plus tensions between various commanders and militant groups accusing each other of treason are growing.

What would the Syrian forces have not teamed up with the Kurds.

The forces of the SAA captured a hill above the Castello Highway. Aleppo in 400 meters from the full environment

Today, the command of the Syrian Arab Army reported that government troops fully captured the stronghold of militants in the Eastern Guta area of ​​Damascus province after two weeks of fighting. Three days ago, Republican Guard units entered the village of Mayda, leading street battles with the pro-Saud group Jaysh al-Islam. The Islamists, trapped in the western part of the village, launched a desperate counterattack yesterday, forcing government troops to abandon several buildings. However, as a result of the lightning-fast operation conducted this morning with active air support, the guardsmen completely captured the village, destroying all the tunnels and trenches used by jihadists. In order to consolidate their success, the troops advanced a few more kilometers to the west, virtually eliminating the possibility for a successful counterattack of the militants.

The first successes of the Syrian army in the attack in Latakia
Less than a day after the start of the long-awaited offensive in the province of Lattakia, units of the Desert Hawks Brigade, the Marines of the Syrian Navy and Special Forces achieved major success in the area of ​​the Kinsibba village. CSKA captured the height of Shillaf and Tubal fortress to the south of Kinsibba, thus securing for themselves positions in the dominant heights in relation to the entrenched jihadists. Jihadist forces in this area are represented mainly by the “Islamic Party of Turkestan” (Uygur Islamists from the PRC), associated with Al-Qaeda by terrorists and the so-called “1-th Coastal Division of the Free Syrian Army”. It is noteworthy that so far there are no losses in the ranks of the government forces. It is expected that the clashes will become even more fierce, as the army team will move to the positions of jihadists near the border with Turkey.

Comrade commander of rank 1, officers (equally teachers or doctors) can usually always find common acquaintances or people who have heard about them. Officers know what is a secret and what is better to be silent and not ask. By the way, women also have an idea of ​​corporate ethics, and you didn't know that?

men also communicate with each other and can always find common acquaintances. but I think that if a man comes up and says that your wife is shorking with three blacks at the same time, and his argument is "well, I'm a man, take my word for it," I think that you will send him away.
I mean that everything can be. but the argument "take my word for it" is accepted only from people with a GUARANTEED knowledge of the topic.
and so any State Department employee can put on an ava with a red flag, say that he is a special forces major and that he knows that 783 PAK FAs and 12 Tu-160s were shot down in Syria.

The helicopter, unfortunately, can also be Russian. He applied the insignia of the Syrian Air Force, and the helicopter became Syrian. But as for the pilots, everything is more complicated. If a "Syrian" helicopter is shot down and the pilots are taken dead or alive, then they see that the pilots are not Syrians at all, because Russians do not look much like Syrians at all. This will naturally be made public by Western "partners", there is no doubt about that. But, everything can be, of course.

Losses should be in any case, no one will believe that they are not. Another thing is that real losses can be quite successfully hidden and this is most likely done. And this is not because Putin is bad, but because everyone does it. Moreover, if the loss of helicopters / aircraft is quite difficult to hide, because at our airbase in Syria, a whole crowd of journalists from different countries hang out who will definitely have questions and reasons for news stories if some plane / helicopter does not return. But as for the personnel, here, unfortunately, we will never know the truth.

What brought down there are details? If MANPADS, the question is why the helicopters involved in the operation are not equipped with countermeasures? And why work on targets from low altitudes, and not from high altitudes ATGMs?
And the question is, if Russia has a lot of Ka-52s why not use them in full in Syria? In the Ka-52, at least some chance of escape after the kill is in the crew thanks to the bailout system.

"Moscow. July 9. INTERFAX.RU - Two Russian military pilot-instructors were killed on July 8 in the Palmyra region after Syrian Mi-25 helicopter under their control, ISIS terrorists (a terrorist group banned in the Russian Federation) was hit by terrorists, the Russian Defense Ministry told Interfax on Saturday.

"On July 8, Russian military instructor pilots Ryafagat Khabibulin and Yevgeny Dolgin flew over a Syrian Mi-25 helicopter (export version of the Mi-24 helicopter) with ammunition in the province of Homs (Syria)," the Russian military department said.

The Russian Defense Ministry said the helicopter was shot down after it foiled a terrorist attack.

During this period, a large detachment of ISIS militants attacked the positions of the Syrian troops and, breaking through the defenses, quickly moved inland, creating a threat of seizing the dominant heights.

According to the Russian military department, "there were no reserve units of the Syrian troops for the transfer and containment of the terrorist offensive in this direction."

"The crew received a request from the Syrian command of the group to fire the attacking militants. The commander of the crew, Ryafagat Khabibulin, decided to attack the terrorists. The terrorists' offensive was thwarted by the competent actions of the Russian crew," the Russian Defense Ministry said.

"Having spent the ammunition, when turning to the opposite course, the helicopter was hit by terrorists from the ground and fell in an area controlled by the Syrian government army. The helicopter crew died," the Russian Defense Ministry said.

Russian pilots have been nominated for state awards posthumously. "

[Stirbjorn]

That is, at the beginning there was a Syrian helicopter, and then, as the Syrian comrades were outraged by this fact, our MO quickly came up with such a detailed and heroic version of the downing of a turntable. Although before they simply said that the loss in the performance of a combat mission. And so, yes, in the area of ​​the BD they decided to fly around the Syrian turntable, and someone accidentally loaded it with ammunition, and, as luck would have it, the Ishilovites went to the breakthrough and there was nobody to help. In general, everyone was killed, but the last bearded man probably before his death shmalnul from Ptur and caught our helicopter, the enemy is defeated dead heroes are presented for awards. Straight script from a Hollywood movie cheap. Most fools hold people. It's a shame !!!

[just exp]

and if all the same the media are lying?
more than once they wrote about a downed Russian plane that turned out to be Syrian.
and only interfax writes about pilots. MO the downing of our helicopter denies. but says nothing about the pilots, it may be so. but it can also be a duck.

[Comrade Artem]

would you think before opening the mitt?

[just exp]

thought so what?
there was already a lot of ducks about the downing of our aircraft, and the sources were pretty solid, RIA Novosti. but it turned out to be a duck anyway. the planes were Syrian, and the old ones.
here, too, the MO site is silent, and everyone refers to interfax.
I believe Tass, Tass also said that ours died. but I read it recently. after writing here.

[Lookark]

The guys did their duty - Men.
A very important question from what shot down, gun memory or MANPADS? So far, as far as I understand, there is no such information in open sources.

[Ducksar]

In the past few months, the number of aircraft losses over Syria has become more frequent, apparently our "partners" planted gifts

[Victor1]

They shot down the Syrian mi25 (export version of mi24) with our pilots.
The pilots fulfilled their duty, in the last battle they repelled the enemy’s attack, but unfortunately they died. Eternal memory to them.

It is not clear why ours control the old Syrian equipment, if Syria doesn’t have enough pilots anyway, and ours needs to be fought, so let ours fight on our equipment. Work efficiency and chances of survival, in which case, will be higher. It is necessary to protect the lives of our military.
Yes, and it's time to tie up with this "truce", and beat the enemy thoroughly despite the squeals of the West, they still only stick sticks in the wheels.
All these half measures are not brought to good, it was necessary to finish off the enemy and close the border ..

Today, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported the death of two helicopter pilots, the awards are posthumous, but this doesn’t make anyone any easier ... The tactics of using forces is a weak spot !!!!!!

Regarding the fact that it was Mi-25, one of two, there were few of its pilots left in Syria, the second was our Mi-24, they decided to sweeten the pill.
And about the fact that the tactics are bad, that’s the lack of ATGMs.

Is there at least one case of the loss of western combat helicopters from ATGMs and RPGs?

[clidon]

The American military, in whose interests AirTronic and Chemring Ordnance will manufacture this product in the territory of this country, have known RPG-7 since the Vietnam War. GSKB-47 (now - "Basalt") developed this grenade launcher, primarily to combat tanks and light armored vehicles. But it turned out that it works well for low-flying air targets. The troops of North Vietnam, for example, from 1968 to 1975 shot down nearly 130 American helicopters from it.

PS Here they also hooked into the tail rotor, while the 35th worked as a NURSEY.

In addition, surprisingly, they write that the Syrian ground vehicles equipped with "birdhouses" (a means of countering the TOW ATGM) have never been knocked out of this weapon ...
And then, like a thunderbolt, a whole helicopter made of weapons designed to destroy ground equipment. One may be surprised that our military industry offers means of defense against missiles for helicopters, the "Military Acceptance" program broadcasts to us on the ZVEZDA channel and ... so what !? What's happening!? Our military does not have enough money !? Who is smart here, who will explain what is going on? And don't tell me like "anything happens in war." No, it doesn't happen! If the one who should be responsible for the shortage of our weapons or delays its acquisition for the army is responsible for this ... according to the laws of wartime. What!? do not like!? You will minus, right? We know such patriots ...

[clidon]

For a helicopter, ATGM, although natural, is still far from the main enemy. It is far from always possible to apply it, and the main thing is to get there. And in this case, hooked "edge" - in the tail boom.

ATGM - An anti-tank guided missile is the enemy of tanks and not helicopters.
MANPADS - Man-portable air defense systems - a natural enemy of helicopters.
There is enough video from Syria how MI-24/28 fly somewhere to shoot and the barmalei shoot them from below and shoot at them from a different shooter, this indicates a poor situational awareness of the pilots due to the low-quality sighting system, the pilots simply do not see what is happening around on the battlefield, you have to come close to the enemy, such machines can not be sent into battle.

[clidon]

ATGM is a guided weapon and, although the helicopter is a "side" goal for it, it is not a miracle to shoot and hit.
MANPADS are more dangerous, but there is protection against them.
A helicopter in a guerrilla warfare is an apparatus that acts in direct fire contact with the enemy. The sighting system for assault attacks is not a panacea.
