Thanks for your posts on civilian aircraft and engine development in Russia.
My past experience have shown me that you can’t educate the most stubborn. I will left the following link as it is, uncommented (Syria as a member of the states sponsor of terrorism).

So now, back on Topic.
I´m sorry to tell but this list is SO apocryphal and we ALL know that.
It doesn´t mention Saudi Arabia (the mainly sponsor), Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrein, UAE, Turkey, Jordan and Oman. These are the true sponsors of terrorism.
And if this was a last trick of the old Assad clan*?
What should I call this if not a crazy conspiracy theory like the ones I told?
It simply makes no sense.
Why would they do this against Russia, an ally? It´s just crazy. Gaddafi was at odds with the US. I “understand” why he did that or allowed that to happen.
Russia wants Assad to remain in power regardless what you read. There is no Tartus without Assad in power.
What does 9/11 have to do with this? Terror and bloody retaliation have always been part of a certain kind of Middle-east autocrats. Assad is one of them and remain famous by his cautious application of the Ahma rule.
Putin foreign affair team had just changed their vocabulary around Assad standing in power. There is a convergence here. It is then legitimate to put the question in the debate.Daesh didn’t attempt such action before despite, as it seems to be today, the lack of rigorous security in Egyptian airports, a country where they are present since long now.
So please, leave the tin hat aside and try to discuss the matter with plain logics.
What you wrote is just a crazy conspiracy theory, nothing else. There is no plain logic and not much to discuss over it. An ISIS(whatever name it has in Egypt) terrorist atack is much more plausible.
So far we can just expeculate over the plane crash. Only an investigation will tell what really happened.
Hummmm.
And if this was a last trick of the old Assad clan*? What Mr Putin would do?*Let’s be clear, butchers scarcely fade away without a last slaughter.
If you believe 9/11 was a inside job or Mr. Putin was behind the terrorists atacks on those apartment blocks in 1999. If it´s true, if it was a bomb planted by ISIS or whatever wahabi group out there, be sure, it was their last trick. Russia will hunt down and kill every single one of them even if it means boots on the ground in Syria. As the Beslan terrorista atack proved Russia will not be intimidated.
If Brazil or another country could put some pressure over Embraer ‘to allow’ the development of the another second version of the KC 390 with engines and avionics from Russia, I would guess that even Russia could opt for KC 390 in the future instead of this new project MTA.
That WONT happen. Embraer sees Russia as a rival. Embraer even REFUSED to acept an official visit of the russian prime minister Dmitry Medvedev last time he visited Brazil. So childish.
They are just jealous. RuAF has plenty experience operating in harsh conditions. Russia is actualy running out of targets. As soon as US/Saudi Arabia resupply the “moderate opposition” or whatever they call the terrorists, RuAF will have plenty of targets. Russia could also start to bomb inside cities something it wasn´t doing so far fearing a bomb could hit the wrong place. Russia don´t need bad press right now.
Can they just divide the nation into area they hold , its unlikely even if some one comes to power they can unite back the Alwaite , Sunni and Shia and Kurds to stay together.
Looks like a far bigger and deeper mess than Libya.
Are you talking about a partition of Syria?
I´ve read that someone proposed to create alwaite, sunni, kurdish, cristhian and druze states.
But the biggest question would be: Who gets the Golan Heights? Israel of course. That would be hard to sell in the arab world. Someone would have to take the blame for it and would be a pariah in the region.
The two majority Sunni Muslim powers both support the moderate opposition in Syria and have been infuriated by Moscow’s bombing campaign to prop the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.
What a joke.:rolleyes:
According to your news.. they’re dropped in Hasakah province, meaning that it’s the Kurds who will get it. and so far Russian bombings didn’t touch Kurdish territory (YPG)
Nonetheless, recently The kurds apparently engaged in Alliance with Syrian rebels that being bombed..forming “Democratic Force of Syria”.
My mistake. Obama would never endanger turkish pilots.
So the kurds are “friends” of the “moderate opposition” now. How long it will take for them to be at each other’s throat? Place your bets.
US replenishing the stockpiles Russia destroyed in the last days.
Russia should bomb these locations. Stingers on the way to endanger russian pilots.
I completely fail to see relevance of the SyAAF violating Turkish airspace with Russians vs. RAF.
I´m not talking about the violations of the turkish airpace by syrian aircrafts. I´m talking about the incident(it appears that happened in more than one occasion) when a SyAAF MiG-29 maintained a radar lock on a turkish F-16. This behavior was considered agressive and whe are talking about a very stressful situation here. This could provide someone (Turkey, US, UK) with an excuse to shotdown a russian fighter (It appears that russians planes were operating in the vicinity of the incident).
As relations between the West and Russia steadily deteriorate, Royal Air Force (RAF) pilots have been given the go-ahead to shoot down Russian military jets when flying missions over Syria and Iraq, if they are endangered by them.
No big deal, just some journos blowing hot air with “one step closer to war”. There is no reason to think that Russians should do anything as foolish as to endanger any NATO jets upon encounter (read harass them with close-in maneuvers, lock on them or anything of the sort). Especially if these are short-range AAM armed Tornado GR4s which pose zero threat to their own bombers.. This pretty much relates to the four Su-30SMs doing the air cover, I am quite sure that their pilots will have the ROE thoroughly explained to avoid any stupidity.
Those incidentes with syrian MiG-29 are not helping to defuse the situation. Perhaps Russia should advise Syrian Air Force to stop harassing turkish fighters.
Unofficially this measure is to protect RAF´s pilots but it seems ISIS(whatever you call the rebels) finally got air coverage. US and its proxys are just waiting for an excuse to start shooting down russia´s aircrafts.
RAF given green light to shoot down hostile Russian jets in Syria
