US fighters intercepted two Russian Mi-17 helicopters over Syria.

A few hours ago, two American fighters entered Syrian airspace from the east and intercepted two Russian Mi-17 military helicopters, which attempted to enter the airspace above the territory where the American military bases are located.

“Additional information: The Russians flew two helicopters (presumably Mi-17, no image from the source), and that is why the American planes were called. In addition to helicopters, the Americans had two fighters in the air, flying almost overhead. ", - reports “Twitter” account “Woofers”.

Additional information: the Russians called in a flight of two helicopters (believed to be Mi-17s, did not get a picture from source) and that is why American aircraft were summoned. As well as helicopters, the Americans had a flight of two fighter jets flying overhead.

Earlier, the Avia.pro resource actually reported that fighters and helicopters were seen in the sky over the city of Tel Tamr, where the US military once again detained a Russian military patrol, which obviously indicates the seriousness of the situation. Nevertheless, if earlier it was reported that the fighters were lifted from the Russian air base, then if we take into account the data of the sources, we can talk about the fighters of the US Air Force.

It should be clarified that things did not come to any serious incident, however, the United States may force Russia to also resort to the use of military aircraft.

At the moment, there are no official statements from representatives of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on this subject, however, the situation is getting very serious, and therefore countermeasures are required.
