Company seems to be based in Russia, guy that contacted us spoke English with non-Russian accent, which i cant really figure out, could be Kazakh or similar.

Are you going to take it?

This is all I have seen on the subject i.e. not much, nothing official.

U.S. response to pro-regime pre-meditated attack in Deir ez Zour lasted 3hrs & included use of:

- AC-130 gunships
- F-15s
- F-22s
- Apache helicopter gunships

Israeli aircrafts do not count as US coalition planes?

The Russian/Syrian Joint Air Defense Command did not it just after the attack?

As already noted, in Syria are Russian citizens who went there on their own and with different goals. It is not for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to assess the legality and legality of such decisions.

At the same time, considering that we are talking about Russian citizens living abroad, we would like to note the following. In the course of the recent military clash, in which the servicemen of the Russian Federation did not participate in any way and the technical means were not used, there are dead citizens of Russia and the CIS countries, as already mentioned, there are also several dozens wounded. They were assisted to return to Russia where, to our knowledge, they are undergoing treatment in various medical institutions.

Several dozens wounded matches with the story where there were 14 who lost their lives.

Another fabulous article sent by John Esq.
regarding the details of the encounter with the Zionist F-16:

A long and overdue report regarding what happened on Feb 10, 2018 when the SyAAD engaged the Zionists; but we had to wait for a personal reason; and as always on this page, the blunt truth.

On 05:00 Feb 10, 2018 a formation of Zionist jets launched 16 Popeye Turbo ALCM (320km range) from Lebanese airspace toward Riyad Qayasa AFB (aka T4 AFB) which the SyAAD managed to detect and intercept the majority of. (we cannot disclose any more) after foiling their attack, SyAAD fired a single long range missile against the Zionist formation which after exploding the fragmented warhead hit a Zionist F-15 damaging it.

When the Zionist's raid was foiled, a second Zionist formation took off to reattempt an attack on the SyAAF base; at 0600 few minutes after taking off, a Syrian S-200VE missile scored a direct hit against an enemy F-16I over the occupied Golan Heights and we all saw the aftermath. (The jet was downed while fully armed contradicting the Zionists' media story that it was shot down after it "successfully" raided the Syrian airbase)

When their F-16I was shot down, the Zionist air force was put on full alert and attempted what is known as SEAD or "Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses" like they did back in 1982 in Southern Lebanon.

The first batch of long-range and anti-radiation missiles fired by the Zionists were completely shot down and non of it made it to its targets. They were hit with that surprise and for the first time in their history they Zionists attempted to overwhelm the Syrian Air Defenses by firing projectiles from outside of Syrian Airspace but most were without a specific target; and mainly to overwhelm the air defenses so that the projectiles and anti-radiation missiles might have a chance in hitting their attempted targets.

SyAAD also fired a short/medium range missile and destroyed an AH-64 Apache helicopter, while another one was damaged. The enemy claimed one of their choppers was out of services due to a mechanical error

After their miserable failure to hit anything significant, the enemy thinking that they had already overwhelmed the SyAAD, they sent an armed drone that entered the Syrian Airspace from the Lebanese airspace and was shot down over al-Zabadani

They only managed to hit a single air defenses guidance radar in the South, and a single launcher (we cannot specify but it was NOT an S-200 as they claimed)

An enemy F-15 formation attempted to target the Syrian Air Defenses from over Jordanian airspace, and again, an SyAAD S-200 scored a direct hit against another enemy F-15 near the Jordanian/Palestinian border line; parts of the missile and the F-15 were recovered in Jordan, but Zionist media and officials claimed that it belonged to the same F-16 that was downed in Occupied Golan Heights (So basically they are saying a jet that was hit with a 217kg warhead was still able to fly North where there are not airbases to land after being hit; this lie might work on civilians but not on us)

Syrian Air Defenses imposed what is known as A2/AD or Anti-Access/Area Denial that extended from Northern Damascus all the way over Southern Syria, Southern Lebanon, Northwestern Jordan and Northern Palestine; in which not a single enemy fighter was able to move freely and the enemy was going crazy trying to hit the Syrian Air Defenses batteries and failed. And you all saw SyAAD missiles and missile boosters over Lebanon and Jordan.

To give you an example of how the enemy lie regarding whether they hit their target or not; they claimed they hit all of their targets but wasn't it few weeks ago when the Zionists claimed they have destroyed the S-200 regiment that fired a missile at one of their F-16s in Lebanon and we told you back then their claims are baseless and there was minor material damage?! Well evidently, the same battery they claimed they destroyed shot down one of their jets just few weeks after.

Finally, the Syrian Air Defenses put down the enemies "long hand" and showed the enemy again that just because Syrian command chooses not to move in certain occasions, it does not mean SyAAD is not capable of reacting; never mistake patience with weakness, and choice with inability. And we`ve always said that on this page way back since 2013.

This is what happened to the best of our ability to share in terms of details. Those who follow us know very well that we never share anything we are not sure of, and we never sell dreams nor sugarcoat events. Another post is coming regarding the aftermath and our personal thoughts.

According to the expert, the Su-57 will be for a few more years at the testing stage in the VCS structure. In addition to testing a new engine, the use of new airborne weapons (TSA) will also be developed.

"The application of TSA is also a difficult thing. It is necessary to work in different modes, different situations, to strike at different targets, "the expert notes.

Impact force

Feature of the Su-57 - a combination of the functions of a strike aircraft and a fighter. This is also reflected in weapons systems. Su-57 can be equipped with an air cannon 9-A1-4071K, air-to-air missiles: R-73 / RVV-MD (short range), K-77-1 / RVV-AE / SD (medium range), K-37M / RVV-BD (long range), as well as air-to-surface missiles: X-38ME (short range), X-58USHKE (anti-radar), X-35UE (tactical anti-ship)-and corrected air bombs KAB-500S.
