Russia Can’t Guarantee Safety of Turkish Aviation in Syria after Damascus Shuts Idlib Airspace: MoD
|
 [ENGLISH.ALMANAR.LB] As tensions run high in Syria’s Idlib amid Thursday’s spike in hostilities, the Syrian state news agency SANA reported on Sunday that the "Ottoman Turkish regime’s terrorist forces" downed two aircraft ‐ thought to be fighter jets ‐ belonging to the Damascus forces.
The Russian Defense Ministry announced on Sunday that it could no longer guarantee the safety of Ottoman Turkish aircraft flying over northern Syria, after Damascus moved to close the airspace over the embattled province of Idlib.
"Did ya hear that Yippy? Gonna let them bully you? Stand up to them. Be A MAN. Escalate!"
Damascus announced earlier on Sunday that it would treat any aircraft that crosses into the airspace of Syria’s northwest as a hostile target.
This comes amid media reports that two Syrian aircraft were shot down in Idlib. Both pilots survived after ejecting, according to reports.
SANA reported that the "Ottoman Turkish regime’s terrorist forces" struck the planes, without specifying whether they were Ottoman Turkish troops or Ankara-backed bully boys.
A source in the Syrian Defense Ministry revealed that Ottoman Turkish F-16s had twice in during the day crossed into Syrian airspace, shooting down government forces’ planes.
Syrian air defenses have destroyed six Ottoman Turkish UAVs attacking government forces on Sunday, the source added.
