[Regnum] In the airspace of Syria, the impact of the guidance systems of American F-16 fighters on a Russian aircraft was recorded, the Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties in Syria (CPVS) said.
What, again??
“The impact of the guidance systems of the F-16 fighters on the aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces, which was making a planned flight along the southern border of the Syrian Arab Republic, was recorded,” said Rear Admiral Oleg Gurinov, deputy head of the Russian TsPVS.

It is noted that on the part of the US-led international anti-terrorist coalition, 12 violations of deconflict protocols related to uncoordinated drone flights with Russia were noted per day.

According to Gurinov, in the al-Tanf region, where international air routes pass, ten violations of Syrian airspace were recorded by four pairs of American F-16 fighters and one pair of US Rafal coalition fighters.

As reported by IA Regnum, on July 16, US authorities claimed that a Russian pilot allegedly created a dangerous situation for the crew members of an American MS-12 aircraft in the sky over Syria. The Russian fighter allegedly flew very close to the MS-12, forcing it through a wake of turbulence.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has repeatedly emphasized that Russian pilots fly in the sky over Syria exclusively in accordance with international flight safety rules.
