Russia To Use Advanced S-400 Missile Defense Systems in Syria After Turkey Provocation

Alwaght | News & Analysis Website

Alwaght- Russia has declared its decision to deploy the most advanced S-400 missile defense systems to Syria amid escalating tensions in the region.
Russia's Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said on Wednesday, the Russian Air Force base in Lattakia will be reinforced with S-400 SAM system, which will soon be deployed there.
"S-400 will be deployed on Khmeimim airbase in Syria," Shoigu said at a Defense Ministry meeting.
Earlier on Tuesday, a Russian Su-24 was shot down by a Turkish F-16 fighter jet near the Turkish-Syrian border. One pilot died in the incident. The second one was rescued and brought to the Russian airbase in Lattakia.
Russia has said the jet did not violate Turkey's airspace. It ditched on Syria's territory four kilometers from the border.
Shortly afterwards, the MOD announced three steps to be taken following the attack on the Russian Su-24 bomber, including providing aerial cover by fighter jets for every airstrike, boosting air defense by deploying guided missile cruisers off the Lattakia coast, and suspending all military-to-military contacts with Turkey.
Meanwhile Russian Foreign Minister said has said the downing of a Russian warplane in Syria by Turkey appears to be a pre-planned provocation.
“We have serious doubts that this act was unintentional. It looks very much like a pre-planned provocation,” Lavrov said, citing Turkey’s failure to maintain proper communication with Russia.
Lavrov added that many Russian partners called the incident “an obvious ambush.”
The Russian minister said there was a question of American involvement in the downing of the Russian plane. According to his sources, the US demands all members of the anti-ISIS coalition led by Washington, who use US-made military aircraft, coordinate all deployments with the US military.
“I wonder if this demand of the Americans covers… Turkey. If it does, I wonder whether Turkey asked permission from the US to fly its US-made planes and take down – let’s say 'an unidentified' – plane over Syrian territory,” Lavrov said.
