Both the American and Turkish air forces halted their strikes on Syrian territory around the time Russia deployed S-400 air defense complexes at the Khmeimim airbase, from which it stages its own incursions against Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL).https://www.rt.com/news/323815-syria-s-400-us-airstrikes/
A spokesperson of the Combined Joint Task Force Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTF-OIR) told Sputnik on Friday that the absence of anti-IS coalition airstrikes“has nothing to do with the S400 deployment”in Syria.

“The fluctuation or absence of strikes in Syria reflects the ebb and flow of battle,”the spokesperson said, adding that CJTF-OIR deliver airstrikes when and where it needs to, dedicating a lot of time to researching targets to ensure maximum effect and minimizing civilian casualties.
As CJTF-OIR reported on Friday, the US-led coalition had made no sorties against targets in Syria bsince Thursday, while airstrikes against Islamic State in Iraq continued, with the coalition making 18 strikes on terrorist positions.
On November 24, a Turkish F-16 fighter jet shot down a Russian Su-24 bomber, which had been bombing IS positions. Moscow says the bomber was in Syrian airspace which the F-16 violated, while Turkey claims the Russian jet crossed the Turkish border and was repeatedly warned before the attack.
Both the pilot and the navigator of the Su-24 ejected. The pilot was killed by a militant group while parachuting to the ground, while the rescue operation for the Russian navigator was successful to a certain extent: a Marine died providing covering fire in the rescue team drop zone and a helicopter was lost after it was hit with an American-made anti-tank TOW missile the terrorists are armed with.

After the incident, Russia’s Joint Staff took the decision to enhance air defenses at the Khmeimim airbase south of the Syrian port of Latakia.
The following day, on November 25, Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu announced the immediate deployment of S-400 misslies to Syria.
S-400 Triumph system missile launchers were airlifted to Syria by Antonov An-124 Ruslan super-jumbo aircraft 24 hours after the decision was announced on Wednesday.
According to open sources, the S-400 is capable of shooting down any existing aircraft, helicopter or missile traveling at speeds of up to 4.8 kilometer per second (over 17,000 km/h) The only target the system would have problems with is a nuclear warhead of intercontinental ballistic missile, which flies at speeds of up to 6-7 kilometer per second.
The S-400 engages targets at distances as far as 400 kilometers and heights of up to 27 kilometers (or higher with newer missiles). This is enough to cover at least 75 percent of Syrian territory, along with the airspaces of Lebanon, Cyprus, half of Israel and a vast part of Turkey.
S-400 radar is also capable of discriminating moving objects on the ground, such as cars or military vehicles at a distance of 600 kilometers.
S-400 radar covers Syria, western regions of Iraq and Saudi Arabia, nearly all of Israel and Jordan, Egypt’s northern Sinai, a large part of the eastern Mediterranean and Turkish airspace as far as the capital Ankara.https://www.rt.com/news/323815-syria-s-400-us-airstrikes/

first u need to update your ''latest news component of ur brain from pentium 1 to @least pentium 4''...jihadist john was killed abt 3 weeks before the 'russian-turkey spat'..this has nothing to do with john..we're talking abt the aftermath of the su 24 bomber downing..

America the cease to carry Russia play. Their NATO will fail them when it happen. Putin no de smile anyhow. They due mad. Their generals wet get sense don't tell them not to ever go to war with Russia under any circumstances. They made it clear that America will loose.

You are very naive because of something that was deployed less than 72hours,they did not deploy it to shoot down air craft,it was deployed to pass flight information to alies and monitor the movement of Russian jets

So, is this good news or bad news?

Begining of another war which is purely on world politics and ego.
End time tins!

America is used to pushing the limits in both chinese and russian spheres of influence.
Infact the presence of those s-400 would soon result in an upsurge of american activities in syria just to test russian resolves, and i don't think the russians would down an american fighter.

And some end time mumu bought this propaganda..

S-400 ko S-400 milligram nii

Deploring anti missile in syria does not stop the fact that Russia is all alone in this fight.America and his NATO allies still want Al Assad to go and there is not Russia can do about that.

Where is Assad going to? Don't make me laugh.

With S 400, we have a no-fly zone in place.

By the way, Crimea is still part of Russia, where is your NATO aka the toothless bulldog? You think say Russia na Libya or Iraq? My money is on Russia.

there is techn ically a no-fly zone against Turkish jets in syria...Turkey has been pressuring US and NATO to impose a no fly zone on the syria part of the TURKEY-SYRIA border to provide aircover for their ethnic turkmen rebels who has allegiance to ISIS ..russia was bombing those rebels when turkey shot down the jet..if by chance any turkish jet,crosses into syria,even if its just tne tail of the jet,,the jet wld be brought down.....by the way,since turkey was hell bent on protecting their ethnic rebel folks,why havent turkey responded again...,currently that area where the jet was shot is under heavy russian bombardment...all trucks carrying arms,comming in from turkey tru the syria border have been destroyed...the S 400,wont be used against US planes coz both countries have agreed to co-ordinate their strikes..

mazeltov:

point where i made that assertion,that america will sit and watch...i said in the event of a nuclear war,istanbul wld be wiped off the world map,US response has nothing to do with my assertion,neither will the US be able to save Turkey,should any ''mad man'' from moscow decides to press the button...PUTIN aint mad,there are more than 100 ways to destroy turkey without wasting a nuke on them...

Who is this illiterate gan sef? Do you even know the meaning of no fly zone you dummy.?

Keep quiet jare....

Shit might be about to hit the fan soon.
The apparently trigger-happy Turks might have rewritten the rules for air space incursions to "shoot down after 17 seconds".
The Soviets feel betrayed and have just positioned assets to handle things.
As it is today, the Russians are legally invited by the Syrian government, and anyone doing things in that airspace will be wise to pre-inform the Soviets.
With the hasty and silly Turkish move Putin is fully justified in moving assets that apparently gives him control over the airspace.
The Turks should be wary of entering or being in the Syrian airspace for more than 17 seconds.
This is some kind of respite for the Kurds, Turkey have been pounding from the air.

Deploying S 400 has nothing to do with no fly zone against anybody. UN is yet to delare such resolution in Syria and Russia gan sef won't dare utter that nonsense in another country. Syria is not Russia.

S400 was deployed to monitor and coordinate their own operations and protect their own base in Syria.

Perfect response from the Master Vlad Putin...

Relax bro, I posted it just to let you know that a war with Turkey is approximately a war with America. I fink you understand what I meant by that statement ? - And America won't allow Turkey to fight Russia alone. Feel free to Prove me wrong.!!
And we all know this except if we living in ''self denial of fact''
Yes you have made a very vital point there even though I thought Almighty Russia would wipe off Afghanistan in war - but that's not where I am going.
The truth is, Turkey won't be so stupid to start a nuclear war with Russia.

The S-400 has made the US F-35 already obsolute


This missile system is so advanced that the Russians can strike a particular window in the Pentagon.

It has also very powerful radar system that makes jamming impossible.


In the event of jamming, it has a multiple launch capability.

It has a cruising speed of 17,000 km/h and a range of 400km.

To put this into perspective, the S-400 can strike a Turkish F-16 from Syria in less than a minute.

While the silly yanks where building fagg0t cruise ships in the name of aircraft carriers at $1bn, the Russians thought it wise to invest in missiles which cost 1 million dollars.

So for every US aircraft carrier the Russians have at least a thousand missiles. The odds of just one missile striking it's target no matter how advance the US anti missile system was, is very very high.


The yanks are not flying because Putin has created an Iron Dome over Syria with the S-400 missile system.

The Russians are blaming the Americans for not informing the Turks of their air strike close to the turkey border and the American are supporting their ally for protecting their air space and you think the Americans will just watch while Russia bombard turkey, i doubt.
