Abbattimento di un jet siriano da parte usa: la Russia sospende il memorandum

di Guido Keller 

 

Dopo che ieri un F/A 18E Super Hornet statunitense ha abbattuto un Su-22 siriano, si è avuta oggi la dura reazione di Mosca, con il ministero della Difesa che ha minacciato che “Qualunque oggetto aereo, inclusi i jet e i droni della coalizione internazionale, identificato a ovest dell’Eufrate sarà seguito dai mezzi antiaerei russi, sia terrestri sia aerei, come bersaglio aereo nelle aree in cui l’aviazione russa è in missione di combattimento nei cieli siriani”.
Ieri era successo che un jet siriano aveva, stando alle accuse di Washington, sganciato bombe nella zona in cui si trovano i miliziani delle Sdf, sigla che raccoglie le forze curde dell’Ypg e di altre milizie impegnate nella lotta contro l’Isis, che si trovavano a Tabqa, nella Siria centrosettentrionale.
Damasco ha smentito il fatto che bombe siano state lanciate sui miliziani dell’Sdf, ed ha affermato che quanto accaduto rappresenta una “flagrante aggressione sulla lotta al terrorismo che mostra la reale posizione degli Usa in sostegno al terrorismo”.
La Russia, che a seguito dell’abbattimento dell’aereo ha parlato di “violazione cinica della sovranità della Repubblica araba siriana”, viene così a sospendere i memorandum d’intesa con la coalizione, e nella nota del ministero si legge che con oggi “termina la cooperazione con la parte americana nel corso dell’operazione in Siria”.
Il ministro degli Esteri russo, Sergey Lavrov, a Pechino per il vertice Esteri dei Brics, ha chiesto “a tutti a evitare azioni unilaterali, a rispettare la sovranità della Siria e ad unirsi al nostro lavoro congiunto di concerto con il governo siriano”. Ha poi aggiunto che “le zone di distensione sono una delle possibili varianti per avanzare insieme”.

Russian warning: US planes in W. Syria are targets

 

Moscow Monday, June 19, issued a sharp warning to the United States over its operations in Syria: "Any aircraft, including planes and drones belonging to the international coalition operating west of the Euphrates River will be tracked by Russian anti-aircraft forces in the sky and on the ground and treated as targets."

The Russian defense ministry said it was also halting communication with the US aimed at preventing air incidents. The warning came a day after two US F/A-18E Super Hornet fighters shot down a Syrian SU-22 bomber east of Raqqa. It ramped up tensions between Russia and the United States to a level unprecedented in Syria’s seven-year civil war. The Americans reported the Syrian jet was downed while bombing the US-trained Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) 50km east of Damascus.  Contributing to the military escalation are the soaring frictions between Israel and Jordan, on the one hand, and Iran and Syria on the other. The medium-range ballistic missiles the Revolutionary Guards fired Sunday from western Iran against ISIS positions in Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria, were taken in Jerusalem and Amman as a strong hands-off warning: They were being told they had better not interfere in the military action in southern Syria because they too were in the sights of Iranian missiles. Israel and Jordan are anxiously watching the gains Syrian and Hizballah forces are making in southern Syria under Iranian direction. They are seen to be coming dangerously close to establishing a hostile presence on both their borders.

Australia Suspends Airstrikes in Syria After US Downs Syrian Jet

 

According to media reports, Australian Defence Force strike operations into Syria have temporarily ceased.

 

Australia has suspended its air campaigns over Syria after a US aircraft shot down a Syrian military jet, prompting the Russian military's suspension of incident prevention channels and an announcement that airborne objects would be tracked west of the Euphrates, local media cited the Australian Defense Department as saying Tuesday.

 

"As a precautionary measure, Australian Defence Force strike operations into Syria have temporarily ceased," The Canberra Times publication quoted the statement as saying.

On Sunday, a US jet shot down a Syrian Su-22 fighter-bomber near the city of Tabqa. The US-led coalition said the Syrian aircraft attacked Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) positions, adding that the coalition downed the Syrian jet as part of "collective self-defense of Coalition partnered forces."

The Russian Defense Ministry announced Monday that it suspended the deconfliction channel with the United States for incident prevention in Syria following the attack.

Additionally, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that any airborne objects west of the Euphrates River would be tracked by Russian ground and air defenses as targets.
