An attack with drones against Jmeimim, the Russian base in Syria, it was led by a spy plane of the united States, according to the Russian Defense Ministry. “Thirteen drones were advancing under the same command at the exact moment that a spy plane P8-Poseidon flying over the Mediterranean”, said the deputy Defense minister, Alexander Fomin. Apparently, the attack occurred in January. These devices are equipped with navigation systems and modern devices to throw explosives.
The Kremlin has shown to be worried by this report from the Ministry of Defense of Russia. The spokesman Vladimir Putin, Dmitry Peskov, does not exclude that the presidents of Russia and the united States address this topic during its meeting on 11 November in Paris.
Only in August of this year, the anti-aircraft system of Jmeimim knocked down 47 drones. The Russian vice minister urged the united States to cease this type of operations. Russia has not shown conclusive evidence but believed that the signs point to the americans. The drones can operate automatically or manually if there is interference, such as that the russians put in place to detect the drones. “The driving manual does not make any neighbor, but a device modern as the P8-a Poseidon, and precisely for that aircraft took care of the drones,” said Fomin.
During the attack, the 13 drone strayed away to some distance as they entered the radius of action of the systems of Russian electronic warfare.
it Is frequent the use of drones in Syria, in particular to attack the Russian base of Jmeymim. Moscow believes that there are terrorists behind it, but always criticises the fact that “there is any country that transfers advanced technologies to the international terrorist groups to produce drones.
During another attack in June the russians managed to shoot down two units with assault rifles kalashnikov when they saw that the drones were flying over the area of the base at low altitude. “To thoroughly examine [the drones] it became clear that in its production were used in pieces originating from western countries”, he explained to Sputnik a source from the Syrian Army.
on the other hand, Turkey has confirmed that will be installed beginning in October of next year the system of anti-ballistic missile S-400 that has purchased from Russia, a decision that has caused tensions with the united States. Everything is prepared and selected staff will travel to Russia at the beginning of 2019 to train in the handling of the missile system. The S-400 is a system of air defense of last generation, capable of taking down air targets at a distance of 250 kilometers and ballistic missiles are not strategic to 60 kilometres. The purchase of these S-400 moved in last June to the U.S. Senate to pass a motion to stop the sale of the fighters F-35 to Turkey, but Ankara ensures that this transaction is still in progress.
