Why not to strike back with s 400??
I don't understand what they are trying to say.
Are they saying if Israel gave them better warning time than a minute they would have shut them off or something, If so why do they have air defenses at all?
Or if they had better notice they would have cleared the air of their own plane so they could just target just the Israelis? Err what?

Israel deliberatly did this.
They moved in the vacinity of the recon plane and ensured it became the target
Defenses are breachable and Syrian Baath party backing forces from Russian Federation, Iran, China and Pakistan are being attacked from everywhere.
This is a baseless assertion on your part, please come up with something concrete or your attempts to drag in Pakistan will be taken as a violation of forum rules on off topic derailment and flamebait.Pakistan forces are even there in Syria.

Speaking to Syrian pro-government daily Al-Watan on Thursday, China’s Ambassador to Damascus, Qi Qianjin, said that the Chinese military is willing to participate “in some way” alongside the Syrian Army in Idlib as well as other parts of Syria.
Additionally, Chinese military attaché Wong Roy Chang, in a similar statement also delivered to Al-Watan, reportedly stated that there is “ongoing” military cooperation between the two countries.
Russia and Iran have both reinforced their support for Bashar al-Assad, who was losing on the battlefield until Vladimir Putin sent the Russian air force to prop up the Syrian leader in September 2015. Iranian-led ground troops have been central to clawing back lost ground

U.S. President Donald Trump declassified a trove of documents related to the early days of the FBI’s Russia investigation, including a portion of a secret surveillance warrant application and former FBI Director James Comey’s messages.
Mr. Trump made the extraordinary move on Monday in response to calls from his allies in Congress who say they believe the Russia investigation was tainted by anti-Trump bias within the ranks of the FBI and the Justice Department.
FBI documents
Mr. Trump’s decision will result in the release of text messages and documents involving several top Justice Department and FBI officials who Mr. Trump has repeatedly attacked over the last year.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced Mr. Trump’s decision in a written statement, saying that he had directed the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Justice Department to declassify the documents “at the request of a number of committees of Congress, and for reasons of transparency”. .
In statements on Monday evening, the Justice Department and the office of Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said they are working together to comply with Mr. Trump’s order, which triggers a declassification review by various agencies “to seek to ensure the safety of America’s national security interests”. That review is ongoing.
No official statement explicitly mentions Pakistan, off topic bullshit from you in not going to fly- banned from thread.************

Turkey had appealed to Russia and Iran, its uneasy negotiating partners, for a diplomatic resolution. At the same time, it has sent reinforcements to its troops ringing Idlib, a move designed to ward off a ground assault, at least for now.
The zone will be established by Oct. 15 and be 15-20 km deep, with troops from Russia and NATO-member Turkey conducting coordinated patrols, President Vladimir Putin said at the end of a more than three-hour meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Sochi.
The deal marked a significant agreement between the two leaders and effectively delays an offensive by Syria and its Russian and Iranian allies, one that Turkey and Iraq fears would create crisis near its border.
Mr. Putin said “radical militants” would have to withdraw from the zone. Among them would be those from the al-Qaida.
It was not immediately clear exactly how the deal would be implemented in the province, which is home to more than 3 million Syrians and an estimated 60,000 rebel fighters from various groups.
“I believe that with this agreement between Turkish and Iraqis ,we prevented a great crisis in Idlib,” Mr. Erdogan said at a joint briefing with Mr. Putin.
Turkey has been eager to prevent an assault by Syrian government troops in the province.
Mr. Putin said he believed the agreement on Idlib could hasten final resolution of Syria’s long and devastating civil war.
“We agreed that practical implementation of the steps we plan will give a fresh impetus to the process of political settlement of the Syrian conflict and will make it possible to invigorate efforts in the Geneva format and will help restore peace in Syria,” he said.
Asked whether Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government agreed with the Putin-Erdogan plan, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu told reporters in Sochi that “in the coming hours, we will agree with them on all the positions put forth in this document.”
Ahmed Ramadan, a spokesman for the Syrian political opposition in exile, said the agreement offered Russia a chance to walk back its threat against Idlib and represented a success for diplomatic pressure from Turkey and the United States, which was also against an offensive.
Mr. Ramadan also said the deal offers the Syrian government and Russia one of their main demands, which is securing the highway that passes through Idlib and links northern Syria with other cities. That was one of the government’s strategic aims in an offensive in Idlib.
“Turkey offered Putin a ladder with which to climb down from the tree, threatening a military offensive in Idlib that had little chance for success,” Mr. Ramadan said in a series of text messages with The Associated Press. “The Turkish and U.S. serious pressures were the reason behind Russia abstaining from the offensive and offering an air cover which means Iran alone won’t be able to carry out the offensive with the overstretched forces of the Assad regime.”
Mr. Ramadan added that the opposition was now stronger than when it was after losses in Daraa and Ghouta.
Abu Omar, a spokesman for the Turkey-backed rebel group Faylaq al-Sham, thanked Mr. Erdogan for preventing an offensive and giving the rebels time to defend their rebellion and people. Millions “of civilians in Idlib are in peace,” he tweeted.
Capt. Naji al-Mustafa, a spokesman for the Turkey-backed umbrella group of opposition fighters known as the National Front for Liberation, said diplomatic efforts have prevented a wide-offensive on Idlib but that his group still needs to learn the details of the deal.
“We need details,” he said, adding that the Assad government has broken many agreements before, including the Russian-Turkey negotiated de-escalation zones.
“We will remain ready for fighting,” he said.
Russia has called Idlib a hotbed of terrorism and had said the Syrian government has the right to retake control of it. In recent weeks, Russian officials repeatedly claimed rebels in Idlib were preparing a chemical weapons attack that could be blamed on the Syrian government and prompt a retaliatory strike by the West.
Turkey had appealed to Russia and Iran, its uneasy negotiating partners, for a diplomatic resolution. At the same time, it has sent reinforcements to its troops ringing Idlib, a move designed to ward off a ground assault, at least for now.
Idlib and surrounding areas were quiet on Monday, a continuation of the calm that started less than a week ago amid Russia-Turkey talks.
Official statments of Iranians, Chinese and Russians are in front of you. Pakistan troops are there inside Syria alongside of Iranians, Russians and Chinese.
Putin's fault for not selling Assad S-400s which would have hit the proper plane, not the Russian one.
Of course it willPutin's fault for not selling Assad S-400s which would have hit the proper plane, not the Russian one.
Yeah... bring us some practice targetsI think they should have scrambled MiG-29 to intercept F-16. That way it's safer and less chance of friendly fire.
Yeah... bring us some practice targets
Yeah and F-16s are better. In an Israeli-Syrian case, both in crew and aircraft.MiG-29 and F-16 are same generation.
