Permits for flights of military aircraft over Syria now have to ask the Russians. This is the conclusion of Western experts, digesting information about sending Moscow on the Syrian base Hamim anti-aircraft missile systems s-400.
Complex "Triumph" will keep under control the area with a radius of 600 km And to eliminate potentially critical targets.
The Pentagon decision to deploy the Russian s-400 at Syrian airbase disturbed. So that even the comment to the correspondent of the American public was given on the condition of anonymity. "This successful military complex and poses a significant threat to all",- quote the Pentagon, Western agencies.
Threatening ultramodern air defense system, after all, not anyone - and those who threaten the security of the domestic population. The bulk of the military, however, it is understood.
"Triumph" is a little bit complicate for the United States air force operation against banned in Russia grouping"Islamic state", but in General will not harm her", - said the adept of the Central command of the American army. Lieutenant-General Charles brown recalled the Russian-American Memorandum on the prevention of conflict situations in the Syrian sky.
Military experts believe that the deployment of s-400 "will further complicate the situation in Syria" (for the Western coalition, of course). As Der Spiegel informs us, complexes With-400 will allow RF to create a no-fly zone for Western air forces over the Eastern part of the Mediterranean sea. Taking into account the almost complete lack of coordination between the coalition with the Russian VC, the missions of NATO aircraft in this zone is questionable.
Although, who is to blame? Moscow is often suggested to Washington to combine the efforts against ISIL, even in the information project. The white house answered: please, only on our terms (in other words, "we're in charge and you do what you're told"). Well, now the conditions are slightly changed. Will the brave American pilots to ask permission to take off from Russian officers.
Worried about s-400 and in tel Aviv. The Israeli air force has relaxed addicted to fly over the territory of Syria, periodically inflicting surgical strikes on enostaven missiles for Hizbullah. But the truth is, currently in the Syrian sky and no Israeli aircraft closely. Well and later, tel Aviv Yafo to Moscow somehow agree (and without the participation of Washington).
S-400 "Triumph" air defense long range, is able to eliminate all air targets within a radius of 400 km, and a Radar early detection allows you to find targets at ranges up to 600 km, the missile can shoot down low-flying targets at altitudes from 5 meters. In C-400 provides the simultaneous use of several types of missiles that allows you to create a layered defense.
Except s-400 Syrian skies will control the missile cruiser "Moskva", equipped defense complex "Fort" (naval variant of s-300). As announced by the chief of the timely control of the General staff of the Russian armed forces, Lieutenant-General Sergey rudskoy, all targets, representing a potential danger, will be destroyed.
As we were informed Days.Ru, Russia has deployed in Syria anti-aircraft missile system s-400. Consequently, a new air defense system stood on alert in the Arab country. The day before President Vladimir Putin confirmed the request of the Ministry of defence to the placement of the s-400 at the airbase Hamim. This was done after a Turkish fighter jet was shot down Russian su-24.
