At least on three occasions the Russian fighters on mission over Syria intercepted the Predator Americans. The fighters did not open fire, but they made it clear that they were right behind them.
A little less than two weeks after the start of the Russian raids in Syria, the first contact emerges between the armies of the two superpowers in the Region.
The Pentagon commentary is also curious. "When they intercepted our first drone, we thought they had been lucky. Then, however, it happened twice more. Now luck has nothing to do with it. It is also true that their identification on radar is not at all difficult".
As is known, i Predator they are not airplanes stealth. The first interception would take place in the airspace between Raqqa, capital of the Islamic State in Syria and the Turkish-Syrian border near Kobani. The other two near Aleppo.
The Russians, meanwhile, continue to fortify the entire area of Latakia with heavy equipment and elite troops. Any type of attack carried out by ISIS against these stations would turn into a bloodbath for fundamentalists. But, as we know, in Putin's "kill-list" there are also rebel forces, precisely those trained and equipped by the CIA.
