* One of the videos was recorded on Tuesday and shows high-res images
* The two interceptions are part of a larger trend of Russian-US air conflict
* Central Command has warned the war in Ukraine could spill into Syria
US Central Command released videos Wednesday of Russian fighter jets intercepting American jets over Syria on two separate occasions, as tensions continue to escalate between the two nations.
The videos show high-quality infrared views of a Russian Su-35 intercepting an American craft just a month after General Michael 'Erik' Kurilla, head of Central Command, said he's seen a spike in aggressive Russian activity.
'We have seen a significant spike since about March 1 in Syria,' General Kurilla told the Senate Armed Services Committee on March 16.

During planning in December, Ukrainian military intelligence officers considered training operatives of the Syrian Democratic Forces, the military force of Syria’s Kurdish-controlled autonomous northeast, to strike Russian targets and conduct “unspecified ‘direct action.'"
The document indicates that Turkey was aware of the planning, stating that Turkish officials “sought to avoid potential blowback” and suggested that Ukraine stage its attacks from Kurdish areas.
Turkey opposes the SDF and views its main military element, the YPG, as a terror group. A former U.S. official who worked in the region said Turkey may have allowed the Ukrainian plan to proceed hoping it would bait Russia into attacking the SDF.
Lol it would be Wagner engagement all over again, fly away comrade and live to lie another day
I know. Boo-hoo ðŸ˜
We all know this to be true.
Planning is not doing. If Russia invaded Ukraine, why can't Ukraine bomb or invade Russia?
