The Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) deployed on January 25 an advanced Tu-214R reconnaissance aircraft in Syria.
Manu Gómez, an observer of civilian and military aviation, spotted the aircraft over the eastern Mediterranean, while it was on its way to the Hmeimim Air Base on the Syrian coast.

The Tu-214R, which is based on the Tu-204 airliner airframe, is an intelligence-gathering, target-accusation platform, developed to preform signal intelligence (SIGINT) and electronic intelligence (ELINT) missions.
One of the aircraft’s most important system is the MRK-411 sideways-looking synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) which is optimal for detecting objects moving overland. The system also has electronic communications intercept equipment, which can map out and identify ground-based electronic emitters, be it radar, radio, or microwave.
The aircraft is also equipped with the Fraktsiya optronic system, which is used to locate and track land targets visually day and night from long distances.
The Tu-214R was deployed in Syrian in 2016 to support a large-scale operation that led to the full liberation of Aleppo city. The aircraft helped locate militants’ positions, equipment and track their movements and gatherings.
The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) is now carrying out two large-scale attacks in the vicinity of Aleppo city and in southeast Idlib. The Tu-214R was likely deployed to support these operations.
This is very good news and is indicative of a determined operation against the well ‘dug in’ and established forces of the US Coalition of Terror.
Maybe enough is enough, Maybe Russians are determined to deal with Idlib?
I do hope so. Russia has to juggle with many geo-political issues though. One of which is the Russian supply route via the Bosphorus .
Russia really needs to strengthen military ties with Iran as that is the only hope.
Nahhhhhhh…it helps the Russian oil based economy to NOT help Iran. The worse it gets for Iran, the higher the world oil price which is what Putin needs to survive and keep his RF from going bankrupt. Try to keep up.
You must live in a parallel universe, OIL is kaput as alternate energy controlled by the west takes hold. Oil is barely hovering at $54 a barrel and poised to fall to $40 in next few weeks as the scope of Chinese virus expands. Russia and Saudis will face the worst economic challenges.
I think that chinese coronavirus is def manmade, the rate that its spreading and the symptoms people get and how quickly it kills is way too crazy to be got from some rotten snake or bat meat, plus I read that Wuhan is home to a bio weapons lab that has the most dangerous pathogens in the world :(
I think you may be right, the Americunts have a lot of free range “academics” roaming around China and CIA strategic report on China is to stop its rise. This is one way to do it. I believe it is far more serious than the Jew media is white washing. However, the Han Chinese are dumb filthy fucks who eat monkeys, snakes, bats and you name it. From personal observation, I have noticed that any people who eat filthy swine are fucked.
Yea, and if it is manmade, i think only the creator of the virus would know the cure, if there even is one, God help us
Bio-warfare is now a reality, the Americunts and NATO has tried that in various mutations, even Agent Orange and use of DU ammo is part of the process. Kids are still being born in Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam with deformities. We are dealing with ruthless dehumanized Americunt savages who dropped two nuclear weapons on Japanese civilians after Japan had surrendered.
they must be destroyed!
Go back to sleep. That’s the only place there is any reality to the crap you post.
Agree with you. Not following it, owing to memories of previous man-made viruses and sensationalism. Gordon Brown, Scottish Labour politician and UK Prime Minister, who raided the private pensions and flogged off UK gold on the cheap. The first thing he did, was use UK tax payers money to purchase millions of UK pounds worth of Bill Gates vaccines. Recommended by WHO. Which ended up with most not being used and expired in storage.
Now why does Bill Gates invest heavily in Montana-Beyer and need so many bio-chemical weapons labs, with full diplomatic immunity? At least 13 in Ukraine, 1 in Georgia and how many bordering China? Isn’t Bill Gates a devotee of eugenics? Wonder if his family turned up in the US courtesy Operation Paperclip?
yea that is weird why is he so obsessed with that?
You truely are in need of meds for your demented delusions, Adolf or Igor as the case may be.
“Zionism is Evil” is neither Adolf nor Igor, he is Pakistani If you want to understand how fucked up the Pakistani nation is you should read the book by Nobel laureate V S Naipaul “among the believers”
Sucking the life out of Russia????
Considering Russia was bankrupt, back in 2000 when President Putin first came to power and the bad oligarchs were sent into exile. Now, just 2 decades later, Russia has paid off the $45billion SU debt. $16.5 billion RF debt. Banned a certain family and dual nationality citizens have no place in Government. Healthy gold and currency reserves. Together with minimal debt and not forgetting the free health care and education, including University level for it’s people.
If that is a nation drained of blood, how would you explain a debtor nation, such as the US and the style of oligarchs they have, running them into the ground, to make Israel great?
Russian military is very good but needs to be unshackled. They need to arm their allies with effective SAM systems and localized command, Putin without any military experience and having held the lowly rank of a KGB major and only posted in Dresden and a total failure is micro-managing the Russian mission in Syria for the benefit of the Zionist scum..
Maybe he likes them better than you Nazi scum?
Nazis knew how to fight :) not act as pussies.
Yep, your meds call.
What is it with you and the Nazis, why so much hate? Don’t forget your people where often invited to their BBQ’s. Sure the meat smelled like diesel, but it’s the thought that counts ;}
Well, big mouth, go get fitted for your suicide vest and have a go at them. But practice a lot first.
All you need is a box full of explosives and tie a Penney to the fuse ;}
Blame President Putin week, is it? Compare his service to the nation with that of other world leaders. Start with Agent Orange, over in the White House. Move onto ‘zip wire man BoJo’ over in Westminster. Whilst checking out Maccron in France. I could go on, but, most would see a pattern forming.
So why if Dr Vladimir Putin (PhD in economics) aka President Putin, able to spend $47 billion on Russian Defence, around the same budget as the UK give or take a $billion and produce weapons and systems that leave NATO weapons and systems obsolete? Why does the US spend around $750 billion and increasing, on weapons and systems that do not work?
Then compare what NATO member states, combined, spend on defence, to the mere$47 billion that Russia, led by President Putin spends.
Not bad for a lowly KGB intelligence officer, who only rose to the position of a Major in his nation’ssecurity/intelligence forces, now is it? I mean, when compared to the military genius of the Clinton’s, Obama, Blair, Brown, Cameron, May, Johnson, Holland, Merkel, Maccron etc, etc, etc, I can see why you assume his ability to be in charge of Russia’s defence and intelligence is lacking.
Wonder what cyber troll grade you have risen to? Private still, or have you eventually won a promotion?
Poor guys, I wouldn’t wanna work on that plane. You guys remember what happened to the last one?
Wasn’t 214, it was IL-20 and do you really believe that can happen again?
Yep, why not? The Iranians used Russian missiles to shoot down a civilian airliner. Damn, the Russians did the same to teach their less capable friends how to shoot down the wrong planes.
Well kiddo, Ruskies downed the KAL-007 and killed the most civilians, so let’s be careful with braggadocio, some of us have been around LOL
Well, that’s at least 4 for the Ruskies and friends and only one each for the US and Israel. I think you did say the Ruskies had the best missiles. Oh, the US and Israel cases are ancient history while 3 of the 4 from the Rusky bunch are very recent. Those Ruskies have really improved their game.
Breathe, breathe slowly and try to think straight! You are so confused right now!
Pfffft, nice try ajax.
There has been no incident whereby a Tu-214R was brought down nearby nor in Syrian airspace.
The Russian intelligence-gathering airframe that came down in 2018 was an Il-20M. It was shot down.
I advise that you conduct a little research next time in order to avoid the tarnishing of your name and to prevent misinforming anybody that may read your comment.
He’s just a turk retard. Facts don’t matter to these fetid shit-stains.
Yes, the Israelis shot it down by proxy.
Give credit where credit is do. Syria learned well from the Russians how to use advanced Russian missiles to shoot down the wrong plane. As did the Iranians.
haha Ruskies down the Malaysian MH-17 over Ukraine, so let’s keep it real and how about the Korean 747 within visual sights no less and not even BVR. I have done enough interceptions to know shit from shinola :)
Well you Turkey arseholes with the RF4E downed by excellent Syrian AAA. a Turkish F-4 Phantom reconnaissance jet was intercepted and shot down by the Syrian Army in Syrian airspace in 2012, after having violated Syrian airspace. The jet’s pilots were killed.
How many times did you say Israel wiped out the entire Syrian Air Force? To put this in proper context.
I am taking to the Turkey arsehole gloating over the downing of an old Russian SU-24 by a F-16 and the Zionists downing the IL-20 with 15 Russian dead.
It might help them kill only non civilians and save them a lot of bombs:( It seemes the Russian production lines are relaly slow. We see demands for ceasfire everytime they have are out.
Lol yep. Throughout the entire war Russia has killed only civilians. Meanwhile, your benevolent al-qaeda/isis buddies only kill the bad guys. Even when they’re slaughtering a whole village of innocents.
We also have a competition here.
My friend says the last one alive wiil be a civilian. I say it might be a soldier and maybee even one from Al Qaida hiding himself in his beard. And we are both laughed at, because none is a possibilty too.
ISIS? You mean the CIA or other unknown agency?
“Do you think Americans give a f–k about Ukraine?” Pompeo allegedly said. Ironically, Pompeo is planning to travel to Kiev this week. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/you-think-americans-really-give-f-k-about-ukraine-pompeo-flips-out-npr-reporter

OT
Gazza. Thought u died mate! Bummer, u still here! How’s the ticker?
He meant OTK = Over the knee:)
So many here trust Trump more then their own Leaders :)
Oh goody, goody, a bigger and better Russian spy plane for the Syrians to shoot down by mistake. The Syrians and Iranians sure learned from their Russian friends how to use advanced Russian missiles to shoot down the wrong aircraft.
the CIA finances a alternating set of functionally illiterate girls that post deliberate lies on this and many other websites—best to ignore these sexually repressed gender confused perverts
LOL…if that’s how your Vodka picketed brain sees them, you are gender confused and that is the least of your problems.
u admit u r the leader Girl Scout
I have directed them to Libya … if they have so much love to offer…why not.
