Memory of modern Ikarov
When bad people under the cries of "Allah Akbar" viciously trampled on their bodies, the souls of modern Ikar were already high in the heavens. Much higher than MI-8, on which they had recently cut the clouds. And they didn’t just fly over mountains, semi-deserts and destroyed cities of suffering Syria, but delivered humanitarian aid to the civilian population ... And at the last moment they tried to take the burning car away from populated areas.
From the very settlements of the province Idleb, where they live, mostly supporters of the Islamists. These alleged civilians rejoiced over the death of the Russians. Particularly diligent were not even too lazy to come to the place of the crash of the helicopter and jump on its smoking wreckage. The majority of normal citizens, who do not share the bloody ideas of terrorists, long ago left this province, which became the arena of confrontation between various gangster groups. Now it is difficult to understand where ISIL is, where Dzhebhat An-Nusra (organizations banned in the Russian Federation), and where “moderate oppositionists” are. And it is difficult to say exactly which gang did this atrocity.
While the Islamists mocked the dead, supporters of “independent Ukraine” did roughly the same thing on the Internet. There, behind the line of the Donbass front, any tragedy of Russia is perceived with unhealthy joy. And it would be fine among the gloating were only narrow-minded users of social networks! But Ukrainian journalists joined this wild howl. Whatever the position of the Russian media employees, whom Maidan supporters call "Kremlin propagandists," but none of the so-called "wadded" journalists would ever call the corpses of the killed enemies "carcasses" ...
But let the virtual mockery of the fallen remain on the conscience of the authors. The main responsibility for the crime lies not even on those who shot down a helicopter and sneered at the dead guys in real life. And on those who handed into the hands of outright bandits MANPADS. And who all these years supports the militants in Syria and does not allow to end the bloody war that took the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Who leads a fierce informational struggle against Syria (and also against Russia, which came to the Arab Republic at the invitation of its legitimate authority).
And even the tragedy of a helicopter shot down by these true perpetrators of deaths are trying to use for their dirty political manipulations.
No sooner had the blood of the murdered pilots and the staff of the Center for reconciliation of the warring parties soak into the hot Syrian sand, as new anti-Russian statements follow from Washington.
At first, Pentagon spokesman Rankin-Galloway stated that the United States did not have any information about the helicopter incident. And from the White House followed hypocritical "regrets" that soldiers were killed. Hypocritical - because Washington suddenly spoke that this tragedy "speaks about the need to resolve the situation in Syria through political means." In fact, it was about the need for a political path that Damascus and Moscow spoke all the time. But Washington responded to these signals with the material support of the militants "of the opposition, then with direct threats of the bombing of Syria, now with increased supplies weapons to terrorists. As a result, Islamist radicals have in their hands means capable of shooting down helicopters and airplanes.
But then, after duty regrets and false calls for peace, there was a frankly provocative accusation against Russia.
With reference to the “Syrian moderate opposition”, US authorities are trying to accuse the Russian Federation of ... using chemical weapons. Allegedly, as a retaliation action for a downed Russian helicopter aviation dumped two tanks with toxic gas to the city of Serakib (Idleb province).
State Department spokesman John Kirby said at the briefing: "If this turns out to be true, then this is extremely serious."
Let us recall the 2013 year, which almost became fatal for Syria. This year it was the main provocations related to chemical weapons. First, at the end of March, the “opposition” used toxic substances against civilians in the Khan Al-Asal district of Aleppo Province. The authorities of the Syrian Arab Republic for almost half a year have written to all imaginable and inconceivable international instances, demanding that the incident be investigated. Finally, in August, 2013, it would seem, was able to secure the arrival of international experts in Syria. But then the United States and the "Syrian opposition" (then not yet divided into "moderate" and "radical") made up a grandiose provocation. They accused the leadership and the army of the SAR of using chemical weapons in Eastern Ghouta (Damascus province). Despite the absurdity of the accusations - as if, to put it mildly, strange people were sitting in the Syrian leadership, they used chemical weapons right on the day of the experts' arrival - this accusation was almost the reason for the beginning of direct aggression against the SAR.
Now the allegations of “using chemical weapons” are allegedly already being heard by Russia. A new round of anti-Russian hysteria may follow. This is necessary to discredit the antiterrorist operation conducted by the Russian Federation at the request of Syria, as well as to halt the onset of the Syrian troops on Aleppo. Washington is well aware that if Aleppo can be freed from terrorists, this will be a huge victory for Syria (and Russia). This will be a turning point in the course of the entire Syrian war.
A spokesman for the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, in response to these absurd accusations, said: “It is very difficult to react to such stuffing: it is always unclear what they are based on.”
It is not yet known whether Washington has enough sense not to develop this topic, or the States will still try to build on this flimsy foundation any provocation. One thing is clear - now Russia has to endure another portion of false “calls for peace”. There will be those among the Russian "democratic public" who will talk about the need to stop the counter-terrorist operation.
However, this would mean betraying those guys who died in the fight against terrorists. Including - and those five who flew in this helicopter, shot down when returning to the base "Khmeymim" from Aleppo, after they delivered medicines and food to the needy.
At the moment, the names of three of them are known. This is the crew commander - 33-year-old Roman Pavlov, 29-year-old navigator Oleg Shelamov and an on-board technician, 41-year-old Alexey Shorokhov. The first two were graduates of the Syzran Higher Military Aviation School of Pilots. The names of the officers of the Center for reconciliation of the warring parties are still unknown.
They died in the performance of international duty, and no mockery of their bodies would diminish their achievement. These vile actions of the militants, on the contrary, detract from the “Syrian opposition” itself, no matter under what flag or slogan it may be.
