I hope the report is correct about China (but I’m not sure).For their own security,destroying ISIS terrorists is vital.Before the Empire can use those terrorists to directly target China.
I have watched a few videos recently of Russian helicopters flying low and slow over combat areas in Syria. They fire off flares but the confidence makes me wonder what else they have up their sleeve for defence.
I see with the Amata tank, it has apart from reactive armour, live defence against incoming missiles and anti tank projectiles. Do the heli’s have something similar?
@ Peter,
I remember reading an article about it, in which incoming missiles were misdirected. I’ll see if I can dig it up for you.
Here you go – link to KRET
Thanks. I suspect Russia has a whole deck of cards that they haven’t shown yet. Though at the same time, the US may well have a few nasty tricks up their sleeve too.
Peter,
Thanks for that link, very interesting.
It also adds weight to that almost unbelievable
story about the Donald Duck ship being electronically
disabled in the Black sea, which i must confess i took
to be some kind of over the top incredible
propaganda/psyop thingy.
and no wonder the story went rapidly down the west’s
rabbit hole, and you know what rabbits do when hidden
from view? they multiply massively..ha ha

that link is priceless Svenne
I second that assessment. Good humor brought a guffaw and smile!
ditto priceless.
The rumors are that the Russians have ‘jamming technology’ that beats everything the world has seen so far.
Yes, I have watched those dramatic videos myself.
It seems to me that the Russia Expeditionary Force that has been dispatched to Syria, even though quite small in numbers, must be equipped and accompanied by some top-of-line kit.
It is not just the Hinds that are behaving cocky, but the whole operation into the jaws of the Monster demonstrates that Russia is in possession of some amazing countermeasures against basically everything that the Empire of Evil has to throw at it.
We are talking countermeasures for the jets and helicopters, powerful radars, strong air defenses, electronic warfare etc etc.
In another episode of “How not to win friends and influence people” ,the US Sec. of Defense gloatingly predicted that Russians would start to die “shortly” by supporting Assad in Syria.The Russian military was “less” than pleased over those remarks:
“The Russian Defense Ministry sharply criticized Ash Carter over his remarks predicting Russian casualties in Syria.”
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The Russian Defense Ministry sharply criticized on Thursday US Defense Secretary Ash Carter over his remarks predicting Russian casualties in Syria in the near future.
Carter said earlier on Thursday that he expected Russian forces in Syria “will begin to suffer casualties” in “coming days” as they provide support in an ongoing ground offensive launched by the Syrian army on Islamic State terrorists.
“In their assessment of US military actions around the globe, the Russian military officials have never went so low as to publicly express their anticipation of the deaths of American soldiers,” ministry’s spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said in a statement.
Konashenkov stressed that Carter’s remarks “clearly show the [low] level of political culture and [high] degree of cynicism possessed by some US officials.”

this is intresting, not noticed it before
“The Israeli military will provide intelligence on the positions of Russian groups in Syria.
Agreements have been reached on Syria in talks between Vladimir Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in September.
In response, Russia has promised to stop the supply of arms from Syria movement “Hezbollah” and allow Israeli planes to freely carry out operations in the skies over Syria, including where Russian troops are located.
In Tel Aviv, held two days of talks Chiefs of Staff of the Russian and Israeli military delegations. In the near future negotiations will be continued in Moscow.”

is anna news credible? i have no idea.
it seems incredible that Russia would allow Israeli planes
free access over Syria with their record of bombing
Hizbullah and Iranians. Even for ‘intelligence’.
Are the Russians in need of that so desperately?
As for not arming Hizbullah, the arms going to the
Syrian army, allied to Hisbullah, could easily be
transferred.
after all, Hizbullah fighters co-ordinating
with the Syrian army will be denied anything they
might need in reality on the ground?
something not right about this but what do i know?
Does this mean that the US will be supplying ISIS with ground to air missiles? That is how I read it.
I guess not long before China is forced to take some form of military action.
As well as the US intention of sailing warships within the 12 mile limit of the SCS islands, there is also Myanmar.
Myanmar is China’s Ukraine. China is Myanmar’s main trade partner. China also has strategic pipelines running through Myanmar to bypass the choke point of Malacca strait.

Myanmar official accuses China of meddling in rebel peace talks
@ Peter,
China should at least offer Syria assistance, and, if accepted, use it to get some real time ‘battle’ experience [although the jihadists are not on par with an army, of course], but I guess Russia is doing the work and China helps in financing the job, so as to maintain that aura of being a ‘peace minded’ country.
Odd of Saker to go AWOL during the biggest Russia news week since the fall of the USSR. The equivalent of CNN not bothering to uplink that SAT feed from Bagdad of the 1991 invasion. I hope he is ok.
***he’s ok and the blog’s fine – he’s not really AWOL – mod
maybe he has to do something different ? score in ice-hocky, launch cruise missiles,…. ;)
@leo
What do you mean? Vladimir Vladimirovich ‘The Saker’ Putin? :D
Highly ironic indeed.
Russia has managed to turn defense into attack and with a series of brilliant moves and maneuvers, place herself at the center of world geo-politics.
Gone are the days of Russia as a boxed regional power. World power-status is what awaits.
Fingers crossed that no nasty surprises are in store for us.
Keep an eye on northern Afghanistan.

@ Steve,
Q; Ex-Indian ambassador, Bhadrakumar, often has an interesting take on things:
R; Since Bhadrakumar predicted Assad would be history in a few weeks, 2 years ago, I’ve never bothered to read his predictions [ever] again.

Looks like a senior Iranian General has been killed in Syria:
https://www.rt.com/news/318094-iranian-general-killed-syria/
I believe this couldn’t have happened without the help of Turkey/US/Israel et al. Its dangerous on the ground.
The Obama administration has canceled its US$500m Syrian rebel training programme:
https://www.rt.com/news/318107-obama-ends-syrian-rebels/
Though note from the article they will still train a “small group” in Turkey.
I have found an article I saw earlier this week about another Iranian General:

Remember when Russia was about to collapse into dust thanks to Saudi oil price manipulation and brilliant western sanctions?
Remember when the Russians would rise in revolt against the “autocrat” Putin by staging a Maidan in Red Square?
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHA
Western “analysts”, “experts” and media have shown once more to the world how utterly stupid and pathetic they are.
The Saudi reaction –

Let’s give the Houthis more arms.

And just what happened to that great, unstoppable march of the Psheks towards becoming EU’s irrepleceable LNG supplier, finishing off Russia’s energy exports completely?
Listening to “Western expertise” is roughly as inspiring and enlightening as walking past a park bench with a bunch of loud, smelly drunkards. But at least the former are handsomely paid for their imbecilic noises.
And the smelly drunk will put a blanket on their fellow traveller-not steal it while he is sleeping. Now a crack head or a junkie-totally different story.

Obama to announce a new policy for supporting the “rebels”. Not a mention of ISIS here. Looks like that boogyman has been dropped from the US official vocabulary.

U.S. President Barack Obama will overhaul Washington’s approach to supporting Syrian rebel forces following this year’s deeply troubled launch of a U.S. military training program, Defense Secretary Ash Carter said on Friday.
The decision would be announced later on Friday, he told journalists, saying: “I think you’ll be hearing very shortly from him in that regard about the proposals that he has approved and that we are going to go forward with.”……
…..Carter said the new U.S. effort would seek to enable Syrian rebels in much the way the United States had helped Syrian Kurdish forces to successfully battle Islamic State in Syria.
“The work we’ve done with the Kurds in northern Syria is an example of an effective approach where you have a group that is capable, motivated on the ground, that you can enable their success,” Carter said.
“That’s exactly the kind of example that we would like to pursue with other groups in other parts of Syria going forward. That is going to be the core of the President’s concept.”
Interesting statement by China reported on RT today:
“China warns violations of territorial waters will not be allowed”
China said Friday it would not stand for violations of its territorial waters in the name of freedom of navigation. “We urge the related parties not to take any provocative actions,” China’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said. The US is considering sailing warships close to China’s artificial islands in the South China Sea, Reuters reported. Washington is mulling sending ships within the next two weeks to waters inside the 12-nautical-mile zones that China claims as territory around islands it has built in the Spratly chain, according to a US defense official. China claims most of the South China Sea, while the US has signaled its navy will continue to operate wherever international law allows.

And in other interesting news.Saudi Arabia their “normal” self here:
“Saudi employer reportedly chops off Indian maid’s hand after she asked for pay”
https://www.rt.com/news/318081-saudi-chops-maid-hand/
Let me say,I am more than horrified over this story.And the savage barbarity in Saudi Arabia in general.This story is just one of countless ones on their actions.Its past time for “retribution” to be delivered to the Saudi Princes.And that evil regime delivered to the “dustbin” of history.And those regimes that support the Saudis can join them in that dustbin as far as I’m concerned (yeah I’m pissed)
On a related note.Obama canceling (actually it was “we’ll do something different”) that program means nothing.The story said they would still be training terrorists…..errr….I mean “freedom fighters”.

Senatard McCain’s counterpart, but in the House. Wants US troops in Syria:
The new chairman of the House Armed Services Committee says the US military should consider sending ground troops into battlefield in Syria to bolster the US-backed militants battling the ISIL terrorist group.
Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-Texas) said Thursday that the current US strategy was restricting the US military’s role in the Syrian conflict and called on President Barack Obama to deploy front-line troops to guide airstrikes and collect intelligence in the country, according to Stars and Stripes.
Thornberry was sworn in two weeks ago as the new chairman of the key House committee as a new Republican majority takes control of both chambers of Congress.

US, Russia on verge of frightening confrontation over Syria: Analyst

The Pentagon chief’s warning of grim consequences for Moscow over its military campaign in Syria is not merely “chest thumping” and may be a prelude to a “frightening” military confrontation, says an American analyst and radio host in New York.
“One hopes that Ashton Carter is only thumping his chest, hoping to either back the Russians down or in any event look tough in front of the American electorate because of the recent moves by Russia,” Don DeBar said Friday.
“It is hard to feel confident that it is only chest thumping and not an indication of escalation planned by the United States including — either by proxy or directly– attacks on Russian aircraft and military assets in Syria,” he added.
Right on time, too, since it is a weekend here soon.

TEHRAN (FNA)- Informed sources in the Northern parts of Syria said on Friday that tens of militants were killed in fierce clashes between the ISIL Takfiri terrorists, the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and Jabhat Al-Shamiyah in the Northern flanks of Aleppo.
The sources said that the ISIL surprised the FSA and Jabhat Al-Shamiyah with a powerful assault at night, and stormed their main base at the Aleppo Infantry Academy, which left dozens of killed members from both sides.
Reports of Russian involvement with the Baghdad colonial administration are very troubling. If it is not careful Russia will be drawn into the quagmire that is Iraq.
