On August 17, videos showing Russian Mi-8AMTSh and Ka-52 helicopters flying over key bases of the US-led coalition in Syria’s northeastern region surfaced online.
The helicopters flew over two bases of the coalition, the first located in the towns of Himo in the northern al-Hasakah countryside and the second near the town of al-Malikiyah in the northeastern countryside of the governorate.
The Mi-8AMTSh is a lightly-armed assault transport helicopter, while the Ka-52 is a fully-fledged attack helicopter. Both helicopters dropped flares while passing over US bases.
The US-led coalition maintains a network of bases in northeastern Syria, most of which are located at key oil and gas fields. Hundreds of American troops are deployed in these bases. Special operations units from the UK and France are also known to be active there.
According to Russian and Syrian news sources, Russian warplanes conduct sorties over US-led coalition bases in northeastern Syria on a regular basis.
The US claims that its troops are present in northeastern Syria to counter ISIS remnants. Nevertheless, the Syrian government says that the American occupation and its local proxy, the Syrian Democratic Forces, are looting the region natural resources.
It’s worth noting that the US-led coalition also maintains a garrison in the southeastern Syrian area of al-Tanf to block the strategic Damascus-Baghdad highway as well as to help Israel spy on government forces and their allies. Russian warplanes have been also counducting sorties over this area for a while now.
Syria and its allies have been growing frustrated with the US illegitimate military presence in the war-torn country. Despite some political pressure and recent attacks, Washington appears to be determined to stay in the country for as long as possible.
After the advertising of 80 % of SYRIAN oil being transported to Iraq by the USA I think that was the “last straw ” –well I HOPE it is !
USA= World MAFIA.
There’s nothing to stop Syrian and Russian troops retaking the whole of this area, leaving the Americans in their tiny little bases. The Americans will never attack them directly, so let them stay inside their bases and Syrians collect their oil carry on as normal around them. The occupiers will soon tire and leave on their own.

No they won’t. Bases in Iraq and Syria are needed to help Israel. the only way to make them leave is in bodybags
80% percent of Syrian oil is being stolen by thieves of the western colonizers, who are the Neo-liberal dictators and they are against Free Sovereign nations.
It’s also a CIA base in disguise of military staff.
It looks like the US regime is keeping a piece of Syrian land for Israel. A little short of full Syrian assault to claim back their stolen land (including Golan Heights), if the Syrian authorities can close it’s immediate borders to cut off the essential supplies to US invaders or/and ramp up SDF sabotage on US oil theft, destroy the shipments leaving the Syrian border. The criminal activities of the US Rogue Nation never ceases to amaze me.
One big russian airstrike on the base will end this farce.
Both the yanks and the Russians are quite confident in the presence of one another since both parties agreed on a secret deal unknown to other stakeholders. Please don’t ask me ‘how did I know?’ becoz of the given realities glaringly reflected on the ground.
the decayed lgbt amerikani very low intelligence now being played like mouse by cat….unfocused over stretched all they see is cheese to feed their obese population of quasi robots
Putin should take the opportunity to take it to the Americans for once, give them a taste of their own medicine . Destroy US military bases , run the Americans out of Syria . The US is in Syria illegally , what could they say ? They’d be trying to defend the indefensible . They do not have the balls to go toe to toe with the Russians.
When the US Dollar collapses all of these nato base’s will be nothing more than relics of the past….
