Russian SU-35S jets intercepting US reconnaissance drones in Syria
5 Jul 23 US defense official accuses the Russian military of ‘reckless behavior’ by flying dangerously close to three US MQ-9 “intelligence-collection” drones and releasing flares during an alleged mission against the Islamic State.
The presence of US military bases in Syria's oil-rich northern region is without the consent of Syria. Washington has selected not to normalize relations with the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The diplomatic ties are non-existent.
The full announcement of US Air Forces Central Command:
SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. --
“Earlier today at approximately 10:40 A.M., Russian military aircraft engaged in unsafe and unprofessional behavior while interacting with U.S. aircraft in Syria. While three U.S. MQ-9 drones were conducting a mission against ISIS targets, three Russian fighter jets began harassing the drones. Against established norms and protocols, the Russian jets dropped multiple parachute flares in front of the drones, forcing our aircraft to conduct evasive maneuvers. Additionally, one Russian pilot positioned their aircraft in front of an MQ-9 and engaged afterburner, thereby reducing the operator’s ability to safely operate the aircraft. These events represent another example of unprofessional and unsafe actions by Russian air forces operating in Syria, which threaten the safety of both U.S. and Russian forces. We urge Russian forces in Syria to cease this reckless behavior and adhere to the standards of behavior expected of a professional air force so we can resume our focus on the enduring defeat of ISIS.”
