In the US, they declared "aggressive flights" of Russian assault rifles over American bases in Syria

According to American General Erica Kuril, increasing the intensity of Russian military flights in Syria is probably an "attempt to provoke. " In March 2023, the United States of America recorded a "significant surge in" aggressive flights of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Syria. This was stated by US Central Command Commander General Eric Kurilla, CNN writes on March 16.

During the hearing at the Senate Committee of the Armed Forces, the General noted that Russian aviation was spotted near the US bases, which stored a large number of weapons. According to him, such actions are aimed at "causing provocation". Kurila also described the maneuvers of Russian storms as "not what we expect from professional Air Force" and called the Russians' behavior "unprofessional and dangerous.

" The head of the US Central Command also noted that such aggressive flights of the Russian Air Force are not new, but since March 1, a "significant surge" has been observed in Syria. The authors of the publication point out that as part of the US IDIL campaign, about 900 military on two different bases were placed in Syria. The US and the Russian Federation also held the so -called deconflict line in the region to avoid unintentional escalation.

According to the head of Pentagon Lloyd Austin, the Russian Air Force is committing "risky and dangerous actions" not only in relation to the United States. They also apply to the United Kingdom and other countries. Recall that on March 14, the Russian Su-27 fighter intentionally flew in front of the American UAV MQ-9 Reape in the international airspace above the Black Sea, dropping in front of him the fuel, which led to the fall of the drone.
