Syrian air missile batteries put two Turkish F-16 jets conducting a sortie in the southern province of Hatay along the border under a radar lock, the Turkish General Staff said in a statement Jan. 2.

The Turkish jets were deployed to the border area after a Syrian military aircraft approached Turkish airspace, the statement said. It added that the Syrian SU-24 changed its route to the opposite direction at five nautical miles from Turkish airspace.

“Missile batteries deployed in Syria have harassed two F-16 planes performing an air patrol duty by putting them under a radar-lock and [renewing] it eight times for a total of five minutes and 10 seconds,” the statement said.

Syrian air defense systems put Turkish jets under radar lock during previous incidents in November 2013.

A radar lock is considered a hostile act as it amounts to interfering with a plane’s navigational systems by indicating that a missile is ready to be fired at it.

A Turkish F-4 jet that was flying over the Mediterranean Sea was downed by Syria on June 22, 2012, causing an international uproar.

More recently, Turkey shot down a Syrian helicopter on Sept. 16 after arguing that it had violated Turkish airspace by two kilometers.

La Flotte des Su24Mk syriens, suit depuis 2010 un programme d'upgrade à l'usine 514ARZ pour le standard Mk2 comme les Su24 algériens. Une photo récemment publié par le site de l'usine prouve ceci. Le programme était étalé jusqu'à 2013 ... il semble que l'AAS a reçu la totalité de la flotte upgradée

Russia Increasing Military Equipment Deliveries to Syria, Sources Say



LONDON — In recent weeks Russia has stepped up supplies of military gear to Syria, including armored vehicles, drones and guided bombs, boosting President Bashar Assad just as rebel infighting has weakened the insurgency against him, sources with knowledge of the deliveries say.

Moscow, which is trying to raise its diplomatic and economic influence in the Middle East, has been a major provider of conventional weapons to Syria, giving Assad crucial support during the three-year civil war and blocking wider Western attempts to punish him with sanctions for the use of force against civilians.

The new Russian supplies come at a critically fluid stage of the conflict, with peace talks scheduled for next week in Switzerland, the factious opposition losing ground, and Western support for the rebellion growing increasingly wary of the role played by foreign militants. Syria has even said some countries formally opposed to Assad have begun discussing security cooperation with his government.

Several sources told Reuters that Assad's forces had since December received deliveries of weaponry and other military supplies, including unmanned spy drones known as UAVs, which have been arranged by Russia either directly or via proxies.

"Dozens of Antonov 124s [transport planes] have been bringing in armored vehicles, surveillance equipment, radars, electronic warfare systems, spare parts for helicopters, and various weapons including guided bombs for planes," a Middle East security source said.

"Russian advisers and intelligence experts have been running observation UAVs around the clock to help Syrian forces track rebel positions, analyze their capabilities, and carry out precision artillery and air force strikes against them," said the source, who declined to be identified.

Vyacheslav Davidenko, spokesman for Russia's arms export monopoly Rosoboronexport, said they could not comment on arms deliveries to Syria.

Russia has said it violated no international laws with its military supplies to Syria and does not sell Damascus offensive weapons.

Syrian officials could not be reached for comment.

A source within the international arms industry with knowledge of Middle Eastern weapons movements also confirmed a pick-up in supplies to Assad's forces, including UAVs.

"Equipment has been moving into Syria, and Russia is either bringing it in themselves or sourcing supplies from Black Sea areas like Bulgaria, Romania or Ukraine, where there is surplus stock floating around," the source said. "Suppliers in that region cannot afford to upset the Russians."

Arms trackers say Bulgaria, Romania and Ukraine all have stockpiles of Russian-styled light arms that were produced in the countries dating back to the Soviet era, when factories were set up with help from Moscow.

A Bulgarian foreign ministry spokesman said Bulgaria's intergovernmental council, which oversees arms trades, had not issued any certificates for arms deals destined for Syria.

"We have data that shows that Bulgaria has not authorized any arms sales to Syria," he said.

Former foreign minister Solomon Passy said it was "very unlikely" that Bulgaria, as a NATO and European Union member, would be involved in such shipments.

A Ukraine foreign ministry spokesman said the former Soviet republic had already denied allegations of arms supplies and transfers last year when it said Kiev had voluntarily and completely stopped military and technical cooperation with Syria since May 2011.

Romanian officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The arms industry source said: "Stuff is definitely coming into Syria, and Russia realizes they have to keep Assad in power if they want to keep a hold of what they have there, especially with oil and gas reserves up for grabs."

Russian oil and gas company Soyuzneftegas signed a $90 million deal with Syria's oil ministry in December for oil exploration and production in a 2,190-square kilometer bloc of Mediterranean waters off the Syrian coast between Tartous and Banias.

Syrian oil officials say they are confident their waters hold significant oil or gas reserves, pointing to substantial discoveries in the eastern Mediterranean off Israel and Cyprus and promising surveys carried out in the waters of Lebanon.

Moscow says its Middle East diplomacy is based on standing up for the principles of international law and upholding the role of the United Nations.

The situation also offers Russia an opportunity to show it still has weight on the world stage and to win potentially lucrative contracts once the fighting is over in Syria and the dispute over Iran's nuclear program ends.

Russia is particularly keen to establish and keep a foothold in the Middle East through Syria and Iran because it lost out during the Arab Spring revolutions, particularly in Libya, where it had backed Moammar Gadhafi.

Reuters last week revealed that Russia is negotiating with Iran an oil-for-goods swap worth $1.5 billion a month that threatens to undermine sanctions that helped persuade Tehran to agree a preliminary deal to curb its nuclear program.

Need for Supplies

Tom Wallace, of U.S.-based non-profit conflict research group C4ADS, said: "Assad absolutely needs to keep refreshing his supplies. People's minds most obviously go to bullets, but they underestimate what an incredibly heavy logistical burden a modern mechanized military really is."

"Tank treads, helicopter blades, jet fuel, ball-bearings, gyroscopes — virtually every component of every piece of equipment can and will break down without maintenance and or replacement."

James Bevan of Conflict Armament Research, who tracks weapons for governments and other organizations, said Syria's munitions use had been high for two years.

"Further evidence of that is that they have been using barrel bombs dropped out of helicopters, which may suggest that they are running low on air-launched or air-delivered munitions," he said.

Britain has accused Syria's government of committing "yet another war crime" by spraying civilian areas with barrel bombs — oil drums or cylinders that are packed with explosives and metal fragments and dropped from aircraft.
By Air and by Sea

A Syrian opposition source said some supplies had been delivered to Syria's Latakia airport about three weeks ago, with further equipment reaching through the country's major cargo ports in Tartous and Latakia.

The source said the port of Tartous, which is also the location of Russia's naval base, had been sealed off for several hours more than three to four weeks ago.

"During the time, nonauthorized personnel were not allowed to enter, and it is a sure sign a delivery came through. This happens from time to time when supplies come in, usually at night."

The Middle East security source added: "Given the risk of rebel attack on arms depots and landing strips at Syrian air bases, Russia has also been shipping large amounts of small arms and munitions to Tartous and Latakia, allowing Assad's forces to keep fighting apace."

C4ADS's Wallace said past shipments of Russian military cargo had also come by both air and sea.

"Lighter, less sturdy equipment often is loaded onto a plane, whereas large and heavy shipments typically are loaded onto a ship of some kind," he said.

"Wheeled vehicles would need to be transported on a roll-on, roll-off ramped ship, but most smaller stuff could be containerized and loaded onto a standard cargo ship," said Wallace, who co-authored a recent report into arms transfers from Russia and Ukraine.

This is what it looks like when a Syrian MiG-29 fires at you

un strafing ca impose tjs la peur   meme un simple show of force
du 30mm quand ca eclate a coté c´est mortel

Une vraie rareté cette scène ! je ne pensais pas que ça produisait tout ce feu quand on voyait le tir de face   
   Justement parce que jamais personne ne s'est retrouvé dans cette situation à part ces types ...

seul inconvénient c'est que cette lumière prévient l'ennemi qui se cache aussitôt  

croyez-vous que le A-10 fait le même effet optique ?

Aucun de ceux qui ont pu vérifier si le A-10 faisait de même n'ont pu survivre pour en témoigner

ou bien que les afghans , tout bédouins des montagnes qu'ils sont , ne sont pas vraiment accro aux smart phones comme ces " rebels " de la Syrie !

La Syrie garde ses MiG-25 opérationnels



Des images prises au-dessus de la Syrie révèlent que certains MiG-25 Foxbat du pays sont toujours opérationnels.

La Force aérienne syrienne arabe (SAAF) a acquis un nombre indéterminé de MiG-25 comprenant quatre versions : des chasseurs MiG-25P, des intercepteurs MiG-25PD, des bombardiers de reconnaissance MiG- 25RB, et des avions d’entraînement MiG- 25PU. Le MiG-25 est l’un des avions militaires les plus rapides jamais mis en service à la fin des années 1970.

La SAAF avait laissé entendre qu’elle retirait ses MiG-25 depuis 2011. Cette rumeur a été confirmée par l’imagerie satellite montrant de nombreux MiG-25 stationnés en plein air à la base aérienne de Tiyas (également connu sous le nom T4) au lieu d’être stockés dans des bunker pour avion.

L’image satellite de la base prise le 3 novembre 2013 montre 28 MiG-25, dont la majorité sont sur d​es aires de stationnement autour de la piste, mais 12 ont été remorqués dans le désert, ce qui suggère qu’ils sont à l’abandon. Les images prises le 1er janvier 2014 suggèrent qu’aucun des 28 MiG-25 n’ont été déplacés au cours des deux mois suivants.

Néanmoins, une image diffusée par un groupe d’insurgés le 8 août 2012 suggère que certains MiG-25 pourraient être opérationnels à la base aérienne de Tadmor (Palmyre), qui est à 60 km à l’est de Tiyas. L’image montre deux intercepteurs MiG-25PD/PDS apparemment actifs et un avion d’entraînement MiG- 25PU sur le tarmac. Aucun avion de reconnaissance MiG-25RB n’a en revanche été aperçu.

Cette affirmation a été confirmée par deux vidéos diffusées en mars 2014, qui montrent un MiG-25 survolant Uqayribat, une ville située à 60 km au nord de la base aérienne de Tiyas.

Il semble que la SAAF n’ait jamais officiellement supprimé ses MiG-25. La plupart ont simplement été entreposés ailleurs. C’est le cas des Su-22, Su-24 et MiG-23 qui sont utilisés régulièrement pour assurer des missions d’attaque air-sol contre les insurgés. La SAAF a même commencé à utiliser des avions moins adaptés à l’attaque au sol comme ses MiG-23MF/ML, MiG-29 et MiG25RB.

Il est probable que le MiG-25 fera son retour dans les airs afin de protéger les avions d’attaque au sol de la SAAF près de la frontière turque suite à la destruction d’un MiG-23 syrien par un F-16 turc. Les intercepteurs MiG-25PD/PDS sont en effet armés de missiles R-40RD à radar semi-actif et de missiles R-40TD à tête chercheuse infrarouge qui peuvent inciter la Force aérienne turque à réfléchir à deux fois avant d’engager à nouveau des avions syriens.
