U.S. F-35s Activated Their Targeting Radars Against Russian Warplanes Over Syria

Two F-35 stealth fighter jets of the United States-led coalition had activated their targeting radars against two Su-34 fighter bombers and two Su-35 fighter jets of the Russian Aerospace Forces over Syria, Rear Admiral Vadim Kulit, deputy chief of the Russian Center for Reconciliation in Syria, said on August 11.

According to the commander, the Russian warplanes detected the radar signal and their onboard defense systems were activated automatically.

“On August 11 from 02:13 a.m. to 02:20 a.m., during a scheduled flight in the vicinity of El-Tanf, two Russian Su-34 and two Su-35 aircraft recorded the impact of aiming systems which triggered an automatic activation of their onboard defense systems. The same aircraft were affected by radiolocation actions on the part of two F-35 fighter jets,” Kulit said during his daily briefing.

The commander warned that the coalition’s actions create situations fraught with aircraft incidents and exacerbate the situation in Syria’s airspace.

During his briefing, Kulit also revealed that coalition fighter jets and drones violated Syria’s airspace 16 times over the southeastern area of all-Tanf in the last 24 hours. The commander added that the coalition’s drones violated deconfliction protocols with the Russian side 11 times during the same period.

The U.S.-led coalition maintains a garrison in al-Tanf as well as a network of bases in the northern and eastern regions of Syria. This deployment is not sanctioned by the country’s government, who considers it to be an illegal occupation.

In recent weeks, the coalition expanded its aerial operations against Syria leading to tensions with the Russian military, which operates in the country under an agreement with the government.

The coalition’s repeated provocations will not likely lead to a direct confrontation with the Russian military group in Syria. However, these acts pose a threat to civilian flights over the country.

i don’t think readers understood your post “ idiots, i hope there’s no lightning because planes can’t handle it” (idioti, sper sa nu fie fulgere ca nu fac fata avioanele).

not only that but the f-35s turning on their radar have published to the world the f-35 radar signature for detection for jamming purposes. (nu numai că, dar f-35-urile care pornesc radarul lor au publicat în lume semnătura radarului f-35 pentru detectarea în scopuri de bruiaj.)

rf by mala požiadať o pomoc čínu a irán. mali by ich vyzvať aby pomohli sýrii v jej boji za nezávislosť!!! mali by dodať sýrii nové zbraňové systémy aby sýrska armáda mohla vyhnať okupantov z usa zo svojej vlasti!!! myslím, že teraz je ten správny čas. niger sa prebral, francúzsko naň útočí. treba teraz udrieť proti nato!!! treba ho oslabiť.

don’t categorize all americans as supporting the agenda of the destructive and corrupt o’bribem administration. by doing so, you are placing yourself on the same level as zellenskyy.
