The Syrian Conflict Thread

Well, we don't know how true that is, but that's certainly not on the "mind control" level. Merely positioning yourself so that someone else sits between you and a SAM site.

Pretty sure mind control was said tongue in cheek, with proper communication between the Syrian and Russians this sort of thing should not happen. Its what happens when you give advanced weaponry to bandits, i would have thought Russia would have learnt their lesson with MH-17.

Of course the Israelis are also acting like their usual douche selves.

That presumes that they supplied the weapon, still nothing more than circumstantial evidence on that one.

But sure, Syrians shouldn't be shooting down Russians by mistake.

It was an S-200, which the Russians have been refurbishing for the Syrians, even though my point still stands, i don't think they should be giving these guys this type of sophisticated weaponry.

The MH-17 downing weapon, your entire post assumes it was Russian supplied, something that is still not proven.

The S-200 has been operational for over 50 years fyi, not sure "sophisticated" is the best word to describe it.

You laughing in your ignorance and bias does not magically change the facts I'm afraid, no matter how much you want it to. The evidence offered to date is circumstantial, this is an undeniable fact. Undeniable to those who bother to know the definition of circumstantial evidence even if it suits their agenda that is.
 
A Russian reconnaissance plane that disappeared over the Mediterranean with 15 crew aboard was shot down in error bySyrian forces, the Kremlin has admitted as it blamed Israel for putting the aircraft in the firing line.

Moscow’s defence ministry initially said the disappearance had taken place during French and Israeli missile strikes in the Latakia area of northwestern Syria that prompted an anti-aircraft barrage.

Later on Tuesday morning the Kremlin said allied Syrian forces had inadvertently downed the plane, but heaped the blame on Israel for “irresponsible actions” – saying the country had launched air strikes by four F-16 jets with just one minute’s warning, triggering the defensive response.

There was not enough time to get the Il-20 out of harm’s way, the RIA news agency quoted Russia’s defence ministry as saying. The BBC quoted the ministry as saying: ”Using the Russian airplane as a cover, Israeli pilots put it in the line of fire coming from Syrian air defence systems.”

The Israeli military said in a statement that its jets were already within Israeli airspace when the incident took place, while offering condolences over the death of the Russian crew – but said it held the Syrian government “fully responsible.” It also blamed Iran and Hezbollah for what it described as an “unfortunate incident”.

Israel and Russia have maintained a dedicated hotline to prevent their air forces clashing over Syria for several years, with Israeli officials having previously praised its effectiveness.

Russia: ‘Evil’ for West to deny Assad reconstruction aid

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...vil-for-west-to-deny-assad-reconstruction-aid

Western refusal to fund the reconstruction of territory held by Syrian dictator Bashar Assad is an “evil practice,” according to a top Russian diplomat.

“Their key message was the reluctance to provide assistance to reconstruct Syria until political reforms are carried out there,” Vassily Nebenzia, the Russian ambassador to the Unitved Nations, told TASS, a state-run outlet. "If we take part in this meeting, we won’t blow their trumpet, but will make another attempt to persuade our colleagues to give up their evil practice.”

Russian military observer: Russia lost control of Syrian airspace and shot down the IL-20

The crash of the Russian Il-20 aircraft in the district of the Syrian city of Latakia was caused by the fact that the Russian military lost control of the airspace and the Syrian air defense system in the area of its Khmeimim airbase, writes Russian journalist and military analyst Pavel Felgenhauer in his blog for the newspaper Novaya Gazeta.

Might be that something went wrong in translation, but how the US uses aid as blackmail and set up conditions could definitely be considered evil. Assad should be strong enough to say no thanks.
