The Aviationist: Unusual footage: Russian drone films American drone over Syria
Interesting footage released by the Russian MoD.
According to the Russian MoD, during the last few days the US-led coalition in Syria has deployed three times more drones than before with up to 50 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles often up in the air at the same time.
The Russians claim that the coalition UAVs are conducting reconnaissance missions over oil fields along the Syrian-Turkish border which the terrorists allegedly use to smuggle oil into Turkey.
“You realize that with the scale of video monitoring being done, our colleagues could share information about what is going on along the Syrian-Turkish border and how much oil the terrorists are selling and where,” Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman said during a press conference in Moscow.
WNU Editor: This is nothing new. Russian jets have been spotting and tracking U.S. drones over Syria since October .... Russian Fighter Jets Are Intercepting U.S. Predator Drones Over Syria. But what is interesting about this report is the Russian Ministry's admission that about 50 drones (I guess from all of the countries that are involved in the Syrian conflict) are in the skies over Syria at any given time.
