Su-57 bombed by Syrian terrorists

The Russian Su-57 fighter attacked militants in Syria. This happened during the second stage of testing a Russian combat aircraft in the territory of the Arab Republic, and information about new tests of the Russian Su-57 in Syria was announced by representatives of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

“The fifth-generation Su-57 aircraft is being tested. They were re-tested in Syria, during which all the planned tasks were successfully completed. The experience of recent armed conflicts, and in particular the operation to combat terrorists in Syria, has given a new impetus to improving the enemy’s fire destruction system ”- said Valery Gerasimov.

It should be clarified that the presence of a Russian fighter in Syria was concealed largely due to the presence of shelters for aircraft at the air base.

The Iranian air defense system appeared on the territory of Lebanon, neighboring Syria. At the moment, we are aware that we are talking about the Bavar-373 air defense system, which is supposed to repel the Israeli Air Force attacks on Iranian military installations, thereby exercising full control of Israeli military aircraft on the other side of the mountain range, which Israel is covering .

It is known that the air defense system was transferred to the Lebanese organization Hezbollah, however, there are no official comments from Tehran yet.
