Russia Suspends Military Cooperation With Turkey, Will Use Warships To “Destroy Any Threats To Russian Planes”

Tyler Durden's picture

Despite demands from France’s Hollande, America’s Obama, and NATO’s Stoltenberg that this situation not esclate, it appears Putin is not taking the shooting down of a fighter jet lying down. The seemingly cagey confirmation by NATO and Obama of Turkey’s claims that Russia invaded its airspace has been rebuked by Russia which claims the Hmeimim airbase radar shows the attacking Turkish plane violating Syrian airspace. In response, Russia is moving a Cruiser ‘Moskva’ off the coast to strengthen air-defenses – just as French and US carriers are on their way.

Here is The Turkish version mapping of the flight paths.

 

Russia claims otherwise:

  • HMEIMIM AIRBASE’S RADAR SYSTEM RECORDS VIOLATION OF SYRIAN AIRSPACE BY ATTACKING TURKISH WARPLANE – RUSSIAN DEFENSE MINISTRY

And is escalating:

  • RUSSIAN ‘MOSKVA” CRUISER TO GO TO AREA IN COASTAL LATAKIA TO STRENGTHEN AIR DEFENSE IN SYRIA – RUSSIAN DEFENSE MINISTRY

  • RUSSIAN ARMED FORCES GENERAL STAFF: NONE OF OUR PARTNERS, COUNTRIES FIGHTING ISIL HAVE EVER TOLD US THAT SO-CALLED MODERATE OPPOSITION UNITS WERE IN AREA WHERE SU-24 DOWNED
  • NO ATTEMPTS REGISTERED ON PART OF TURKISH PLANE TO GET IN TOUCH OR ESTABLISH VISUAL CONTACT WITH OUR CREW VIA OBJECTVE CONTROL DEVICES – RUSSIAN DEFENSE MINSTRY
  • WARSHIP TO DESTROY ANY THREATS SEEN TO RUSSIAN PLANES: IFX

Specifically, as RT reports, the steps announced by Russian top brass as the following:Three steps as announced by top brass:

  1. Each and every strike groups’ operation is to be carried out under the guise of fighter jets
  2. Air defense to be boosted with the deployment of Moskva guided missile cruiser off Latakia coast with an aim to destroy any target that may pose danger
  3. Military contacts with Turkey to be suspended

Just like the downing of flight MH17 over Ukraine, it has quickly become a case of “he said, she said”:

Rudskoy said the Russian warplane did not violate Turkish airspace. Additionally, according to the Hmeymim airfield radar, it was the Turkish fighter jet that actually entered Syrian airspace as it attacked the Russian bomber. The Turkish fighter jet made no attempts to contact Russian pilots before attacking the bomber, Rudskoy added.

“We assume the strike was carried out with a close range missile with an infra-red seeker,” Rudskoy said. “The Turkish jet made no attempts to communicate or establish visual contact with our crew that our equipment would have registered. The Su-24 was hit by a missile over Syria’s territory.”

Sergey Rudskoy, a top official with the Russian General Staff, condemned the attack on the Russian bomber in Syrian airspace by a Turkish fighter jet as “a severe violation of international law”. He stressed that the Su-24 was downed over the Syrian territory. The crash site was four kilometers away from the Turkish border, he said.

As a result, Russia now plans to implement new measures aimed at strengthening the security of the country’s air base in Syria and in particular to bolster air defense. Russian guided missile cruiser Moskva, equipped with the ‘Fort’ air defense system, similar to the S-300, will be deployed off Latakia province’s coast.

“We warn that every target posing a potential threat will be destroyed,” lieutenant general Sergey Rudskoy said during the briefing.

“All military contacts with Turkey will be suspended,” he added.

And again, all this is happening as both the French carrier de Gaulle and the US carrier CVN-75 USS Harry S. Truman are on their way to a very dangerous rendezvous off the Syrian coast.

So just as we warned in September, the situation is a full re-run of the 2013 Syria “Mediterranean” showdown, with full naval engagement by all parties, except this time the tensions are significantly escalated, a Russian fighter jet has just been taken down, and Putin will not hestitate to go as far as he has to to save face.

Do you have to speak Russian to join the Russian army?

Wasn’t it Turkey that booed the moment of silence for the murdered Parisians? Russia has become the mainline defense of white culture, while at the same time the sociopaths in DC try to undermine it at every turn.

But, keep your eye on the ball here…..it’s all about maintaining the dollar as the worlds reserve currency. Minus that, the US descends into the hell of living within it’s own means, and THAT is when the rubber will meet the road. The savages will be out in force within the week.

Apparently, McShitstain has inserted himself into the fucked-up mess. From Veterans Today:

Erdogan’s insane actions were done in consultation, according to sources, with Senator John McCain, unsuccessful presidential candidate and current head of the Senate Armed Forces Committee. McCain is said to have made assurances to Turkey that NATO commander, General Phillip Breedlove, would “personally” extend the protection of American strategic nuclear forces over Turkey if a direct confrontation with Russia ensued.

McCain assured Erdogan, according to sources, that the Pentagon was ready to move against Obama and that Russia, knowing this, would back down. What Erdogan fails to grasp, however, is that McCain, rumored to be increasingly mentally unstable, represents a groups of “End Times” religious extremists which include Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and all but two of the huge field of Republican presidential candidates to whom nuclear apocalypse has long been a goal.

Westcoaster, I agree that McCain is vile. Rand Paul & Trump are not neocons. The rest of the GOP field – and Hillary – are.

OK, so what I understand is that the USA attempted to use proxy fighters (ISIS) in Syria and pretended to fight them while really supplying them so they can topple Assad but then the Ruskies moved in and began bombing ISIS for reals and so the USA asked Turkey to shoot down Ruskie planes because we can’t do so without provoking a USA-Russia confrontation?

Deep-State President McCain will get us into a shooting war with Russia soon enough, he has been jonesing for this since 2008 when he was trying to provoke a war in Georgia.

Stucky

Even if Estrogen and the Turks are correct by looking at THEIR radar map that Russian plane crossed an area that’s about 2 miles wide … and even those who say the plane violated air space say it wasn’t for more than 30 seconds. 30 seconds … at best!!!

1. That can mean only one thing … it was PREMEDITATED. The Turks were just waiting nearby circling, circling, circling, and waiting to shoot down a Russian jet.

2. There is no fucking way the Turks warned the pilot TEN times … no time, no way.

3. The horrible lying nigger in charge supports Turkey saying they have a right to defend their air space. Defend against WHAT?? A Russian invasion? bwaahahaha This is all the proof I need to know the USA!USA!USA! is behind this.

My vote is for Putin – hope 1 or 2 Turkey F-16’s get shot down.
Fuck Obama, McShitStain, Hitlery, and many others. The U.S. supporting ISIS is the most evil act ever taken by our now Marxist regime,

For the individual that gave some ‘thumbs-down’ on above comments – I suspect you are a gov’t employed Coward.

The Russian military needs to chill for a moment. They knew Turkey was supporting ISIS and they took a chance flying too close to the border. No military engagement is without losses or mistakes.
On the other hand, Russia needs to launch a full scale media attack on Turkey and on the USSA for supporting ISIS. They need to have press conference after press conference in Paris explaining and showing proof how both Obama and Estrogen have supported ISIS, the people who cut off the heads of Christian babies and play soccer with the heads, on video.
The Russian military should continue bombing the shit out of ISIS and stay just fewer klicks from the border with Turkey, daring Estrogen. And I’d hate to be those terrorists who shot and killed that poor Russian pilot who was drifting down to the ground. Their homes will be rubble soon.

Greetings,

I bet it would be really interesting to be a fly on the wall is a few German homes in, say, 1941 when Hitler attacked Russia and then later declared war on the United States. We know that no one dared speak out against the regeime in public but I can’t help but wonder what was said behind closed doors.

Do you think it is similar to what people are saying to friends and family today here in this country? Do you think that they felt like they were on a train straight into hell with no scheduled stops to get off?

After all, a foreign born lunatic had taken over the government and had picked a fight with not one but three empires (British, Russian & American). Worse still, the lunatic put himself in charge of the military and had thrust himself in the day to day tactics of an army fighting a world war. It wasn’t just a recipe for disaster but a cookbook for disaster.

Are we in any better of a situation today? Are we? A worthless POS that has no accomplishments I can think of is picking a fight with several superpowers and bringing us all along for the ride.

@ NickelthroweR..You said it, those assholes are itching for a war. I’m waiting to see Putin’s official reaction. Will he go to the UN and complain? (probably) and/or will he patiently wait for an opportunity to do some real damage to Turkey? (very probable) or will he kick off WWIII over an SU-24, a passenger jet, a helicopter and about 300 dead Russians? (not likely, but you never know what goes on behind the scenes).

We live in interesting times.

Why was there no Russian fighter plane accompanying the Su-24. The hostile stance of Turkey is a known fact. This is a mission planning blunder for sure.
