A U.S. strike aircraft shot down a Syrian government fighter jet shortly after it bombed U.S.-backed Syrian fighters in North Syria, the Pentagon said in a statement Sunday.

The Pentagon said the shoot-down came hours after Syrian government-backed forces attacked U.S.-backed fighters, known as the Syrian Democratic Forces, in the village of Ja?Din. As the attack unfolded, the U.S. military used a deconfliction channel to communicate with the Syrian government to stop the skirmish, according to the Pentagon statement.

U.S.-led jets stopped the fighting by flying close to the ground and at low-speed in what is called a ?show of force,? the Pentagon said.

Roughly two hours later, despite the called-for stand down and the U.S. presence overhead, a Syrian Su-22 jet attacked the Syrian Democratic Forces, dropping an unknown number of munitions on the U.S.-backed force. A U.S. F/A-18 promptly shot the Syrian aircraft down ?in accordance with rules of engagement and in collective self-defense of coalition partnered forces,? the Pentagon statement said.

Su-22 (aka Su-17M)? I'm surprised. Didn't know someone still uses those stone-age dinosaurs...

You consider that that old Syrian fighter jet was 'cannon fodder' perhaps?

They were using it to drop bombs.. Syria's other methods to drop bombs includes filling barrels with TNT and shoving them out of helicopters.. They aren't very technologically advanced...

btw about 15 years ago, I pulled up in my driveway (lived near a airport) and one of those flew right over my house on approach to land. I jumped back in my car and ran over to the commercial side of the airport to check it out. Turns out the guy who owned it, had 2 old era Migs like that and he was testing using some sort of powder to seed Hurricane clouds as a way to lower the strength of them.

He used the migs to fly out to the storms and would release these little canisters of powered stuff into them. Not sure what the idea was behind it, but I assume it didn't work out lol.

What will the Russians say?

Direct from the horses mouth;

Whole lot of nothing in that :2 cents:

USA is violating international law , it aggression against army sovereign country.

Russian military halts Syria sky incident prevention interactions with US as of June 19 ? Moscow

There is no such "international war". It is not illegal for one government to attack another government.

One ща my schoolmate is also loves to collect planes. He is a professional сivilian pilot. The dude buys planes (usually in Canada and the US) and transports them to a hangar near his house in Saint Peretsburg. Some people have real strange hobbies :upsidedow

It is legal? :1orglaugh

Why not? It's a war.

Now Syria has cut communication with the US military, and will consider all US planes and drones hostile. Wonderful.

I am not saying it is legal, but there is no law that makes war illegal. There is no law that says one country cannot make war with another country. They can surely try to sue the US for this - they lost an airplane - and they would most likely win.

USA against Syria?

When your country hands crimea back to Ukraine we will then give a fuck what you guys think about aggression toward sovereign nations who are bombing their own people and violating international law. Until then go fuck yourself.

what ????

... deflection ....

BTW, Crimea surely does not want to go with the Ukranians losers !!!!

Yes, why not? We are at war against Ukraine, the States are at war against Syria. What's a problem with that?

They said that now all the US aircrafts over Syria will be considered as air targets for their air defense systems (they have S-400 SA-21 Growler systems deployed in the region).

Source: The Ministry of Defense will consider all the US airplanes over Syria "air targets"

Something interesting is going to happen :upsidedow

The closest one of these is in about 5 min from my home:

I don't think I'll have that much time however...

Ok. :1orglaugh
But Russia ... :1orglaugh
In Ukraine and in Syria going civil war

FYI: when 3rd-party countries involved (e.g. Russia), these are not civilian wars. They are the international ones. Both in Syria and on Ukraine.

Then so was Libya , Iraq, Afghanistan, Grenada, etc ...

But strangely, no declaration of war was given ....

Idiots as usual

Love how the dumb lib rails against neo-cons. Next breath tells russia what to do with crimea, like its usa business.

Idiot dumbfuck neo stupid lib.

:1orglaugh

Yes, indeed. All these cases are similar.

what kind civil war was without this? (3rd-party countries involved)

No they say we will track planes and drones in some place. Media scream about we will attack.

Your country is just as guilty it's no Utopia either.

They will foam at their mouth and threaten with their S-400 SAMs again but do nothing cause they're cucks.

us and russia no tired same shit all time? :1orglaugh get over with already jesus

We in Syria for make war against terrorists, not against USA, idiot!
If "sky incident prevention interactions with US" as i writed ahead not work, we will find something else.

I doubt that the Russians nor the Americans would risk a war over their proxy armies. But Russia has drawn their red line of a anything that flies "target zone" to the west of the Euphrates river and smack down the middle of Raqqa -- not very smart.

The Russians just de facto ceded a part of Syria away from Assad to an occupying army and local rebels -- that is really not smart.

Foreign armies fighting in Syria was always a bad idea. Should have dug a backfire trench and let the fire burn out to conclusion. :2 cents:

It's world population control
