Over the past 7 hours 5 RuAF IL-76 heavy cargo planes have arrived in Mozdok AFB in #Russia possibly carrying S-300 components for #Syria. IL-76 with designation RF78810 has now taken off and landed at Khmeimim AFB in Syria, likely carrying S-300 components.

Russian Su-35S intercepted Stealth F-22 in Syria !!!

I think this is fake, not that Su-35S can't hunt F-22, but both of them staying in the same airspace at the same time!? That too close enough to take a clear pic from OLS-35. I don't buy this argument

Putin personally notified Assad of the decision to transfer the S-300 SAM to the Syrians.



On Monday, September 24, a telephone conversation took place between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Syrian President Bashar Assad. According to the press service of the Kremlin, the conversation took place on the initiative of the Syrian side.

The Kremlin's official report says that Assad once again expressed his deep condolences in connection with the death of 15 Russian servicemen who were aboard an IL-20 aircraft shot down by Syrian air defense on September 17.

Putin informed Assad about the decision to implement a number of additional measures to ensure the safety of Russian troops in Syria and to strengthen the country's air defense system, including the transfer to the Syrians of the modern S-300 surface-to-air missile system, the Kremlin press service reported.

It should be noted that the Kremlin's message refers specifically to the transfer, and not to Syria's sale of the S-300 air defense system.

Russian Su35s air superiority fighter tracks and intercepts 5th Gen F22 Raptor flying over Syria , releases its IRST and cam pics






A Su-35S air-superiority fighter jet of Russia’s Aerospace Force has intercepted the U.S. F-22 Raptor Raptor combat aircraft flying over Syria.

A photographs posted by unofficial Russia’s military pilot Instagram account on 24 September has confirmed an intercept of the U.S. F-22 Raptor Raptor combat aircraft by the Russian Su-35S fighter jet.

Photographs, made by the infrared search and track fire control system of the Russian Su-35S, shows in infrared spectrum an F-22 Raptor fighter jet flying over Syria.

The Su-35S infrared search and track system called the OLS-35 and includes an infrared sensor, laser rangefinder, target designator and television camera. This system to determine the general position of aircraft within a fifty-kilometer radius—potentially quite useful for detecting stealth aircraft, such as F-22, at shorter ranges.

According to the Deagel.com, OLS-35 comprises a heat-seeker, a laser rangefinder/designator with new algorithms and advanced software to outperform its predecessor installed on the Su-27/Su-30 aircraft family. The Su-35 IRST is superior to the OEPS-27 in terms of range, precision and reliability.

But, the Su-35’s infrared search and track system(IRST) does not represent a panacea solution against stealth aircraft.

The OLS-35, like and other IRST, does not provide target quality track data for weapons employment. For example, if a Russian Su-35 fighter jet detected an approaching forward aspect F-22, the Russian pilot could not directly utilize the IRST data to direct semi-active, active, or passive homing missiles; laser illumination capabilities are generally a means to guide air-to-ground munitions rather than air-to-air missiles.

When and Where did this happen!?

Again I am not saying that Su-35S can't track F-22, but their presence in the same airspace at the same time!? That too close enough to take a clear pic from OLS-35 is highly unlikely.

not sure but it has 90km+ range, you should have heard even our Su-30MKI took images Chinese J-20 in Tibet....
