TASS: Pentagon warns Russia’s against arming its warplanes in Syria with air-to-air missiles

Pentagon spokesperson Michelle Baldanza told TASS on Monday that Russia’s arming its Su-34 warplanes in Syria with air-to-air missiles can only complicate the situation

WASHINGTON, December 1. /TASS/. Russia’s arming its Su-34 warplanes in Syria with air-to-air missiles can only complicate an already difficult situation in Syria’s airspace, Pentagon spokesperson Michelle Baldanza told TASS on Monday.

"Such systems will further complicate an already difficult situation in the skies over Syria and do nothing to further the fight against ISIL [the former name of the terrorist group Islamic State which is outlawed in Russian] as they have no air force," she said. "·We expect that if Russia follows through, they will abide by our Memorandum of Understanding regarding flight safety and not direct this system against Coalition aircraft."
