The escalation of the conflict, the Kremlin allegedly pushing a no-fly zone.
The Pentagon did not rule out a scenario in which Russian air force will begin to shoot down U.S. planes in Syrian airspace, writes Radio Liberty, citing US intelligence.
As the Director of National intelligence James Clapper, in an escalation of the conflict, the Kremlin might go if the US and its allies in the antiterrorist coalition decides to establish a no-fly zone to protect civilians in Syria.
“I don’t think they eliminate the option of destroying American aircraft, if they feel he poses a threat to their land forces,” – said Clapper during a speech at the Council on foreign relations in new York.
The head of the N. I. United States called the Russian air defense systems “a modern and efficient weapons” that Russia is “not sent to Syria, if she did not intend to use it.”
