VKS could lose another IL-20 in Syria

Over the Syrian province of Idlib, a Russian electronic surveillance aircraft has been spotted.

On the eve of the day in the airspace of the Syrian province of Idlib, a low-flying Russian reconnaissance aircraft IL-20 was noticed. The corresponding photo confirming the fact of the flight of the Russian military aircraft over Idlib was posted by users on social networks, however, the specialists IL also caused no less questions because the reconnaissance aircraft was seen at a height of only a few kilometers.

According to some reports, a Russian military electronic reconnaissance aircraft was heading from Iran to the Russian military airbase "Khmeimim", but this fact caused a lot of questions. that the crew of the plane, while in an area controlled by Syrian militants, terrorists and the armed opposition, was flying at an unsafe height.

According to analysts, Russia is deploying additional electronic intelligence aircraft to the Hmeimim airbase because the return to the eastern part of the Mediterranean by the American carrier-based strike group.

“Obviously, the appearance of Russian IL-20 in the sky over Syria is connected with the return of the aircraft carrier Harry Truman to the Mediterranean, and in this way the Russian grouping of the VKS to the Russian Defense Ministry was simply further strengthened.”, - the expert emphasized.

According to expert Avia.pro, the crew of the Russian military aircraft really risked a lot, being at a low altitude.

“The photograph of the IL-20 demonstrates that the aircraft was at a low altitude, and in fact, if there was such a need, it could easily be destroyed from man-portable air defense systems. It is unlikely that a low-altitude flight was advisable, especially since Russia had already lost one aircraft of electronic intelligence ", - the expert emphasized.

I imagine the state of the crew. You will not envy him. Not to mention the state of their parents. Money, money is to blame.

Good news for the Russian allies, C-300 stands idle without work. Well, now you can practice, check the gift in action. Whatever the cat is in the bag. The result will be twice as large as before.
