[EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Russia has deployed 28 combat planes in Syria, U.S. officials said Monday, confirming the latest move in Moscow's increasing military presence in the war-torn nation.
Good luck widdat.
"There are 28 fighter and bomber aircraft" at an airfield in the western Syrian province of Latakia, one of the officials told AFP, speaking on condition of anonymity
... for fear of being murdered...
.A second official, also speaking on condition of anonymity
... for fear of being murdered...
, confirmed the figure, and added there were about 20 Russian combat and transport helicopters at the base.

That official also said Russia was operating drones over Syria, but did not give additional details.

#1 Will someone EXPLAIN to me WHY the US is so "concerned" that Russia and Putin are sending military assets to Syria in a last ditch effort to get Assad to pay his enormous ( not to say humongous ) DEBTS which he OWES Russia for all the supplies and goodies Russia has formerly invested in Syria and will never see a Kopek of unless Assad coughs up a lot of Rubles ? Putin wants to be PAID.

And how is it in the US interest to prevent Russia from becoming involved in an "adventure" that is one big can of worms? Its Russian money, Russian time and Russian body parts in those helicopters and attack aircraft, not ours.
Where is Russia going to GO while it is petting a big smelly burning dog? And we can just watch, since everybody knows the Obama US will never stop Assad OR Russia with anything even Obama's Mother was at risk. He's just NOT that kind of guy ( and you know what his mother was like ).
I DO hope I have not offended anyone on Rantburg with my opinions of Obama's mother.

While the US was selling ammunition ( 400 million $$) during the Bangla Desh war so the Moslems could kill 3million civilian Hindus ( in just 8 months). And we sent a Carrier etc into the Bay of Bengal to intimidate the Hindus who were desperate enough to accept the Russian 1938 largesse in obsolete weapons which rattled like boxes of cereal. DON'T play with the nasty Russians we told them ( we told them) even if WE are not going to help you defend yourselves.

NOW Russia is helping Assad who has to win to PAY UP. And its THEIR ass and not ours. Let them pet the burning dog. The US isn't going to do a damn thing and the Russians recognize a total wimp when he bends over and does a deep bow.
