The Pentagon believes the bombing of its base part of the campaign of the Russian Federation in the pressure on the White house.
In Syria, the Russian aircraft struck blow to a secret base used by elite U.S. and British troops. About it writes Wall Street Journal referring to representatives of the White house and the Pentagon.
It is an insurgent base in the village of Al-TANF, located a few kilometers from the Syrian-Jordanian border. Special forces of the US and Britain use it to protect Jordan from the “Islamic state”.
The incident occurred in June 2016. It is noted that a contingent of British specil left the garrison the day before the bombing. It is alleged that Navalny was dropped to the base cluster munitions.
After hitting the staff of the Central command of US forces in Qatar contacted the Russian colleagues in the Syrian Latakia and warned that this database is involved in a campaign and should not be attacked, according to the interlocutors of WSJ.
After half an hour of warning US from a nearby American aircraft recorded a new wave of strikes by Russian aircraft on the base.
US officials tried to contact the Russian pilots, using frequencies that the US and Russia have agreed to use in an emergency, but the pilots of the Russian Federation did not answer.
The newspaper’s sources in the Pentagon and us intelligence believe the strikes on the basis of the part of the Russian campaign, which aims to pressure the administration of President Barack Obama to force Washington to go on closer cooperation with Russia in the skies over Syria.
The British authorities and the Ministry of defence refused to comment on this information the WSJ.
