Is West testing new tactics using Syrian Terrorists!

Attack on Russian facilities in Syria was conducted by 13 drones.






The security system of the Russian airbase "Khmeimim" and the logistics center of the Russian Navy in Tartus on the night of 5 to 6 January 2018 successfully prevented the attack of terrorists with the massive use of unmanned aerial vehicles

With the approach of the dark time, the Russian air defense facilities at a considerable distance identified 13 small-sized air targets of unknown origin approaching Russian military targets.

Ten UAVs were approaching the Russian airbase "Khmeimim" and another 3 - to the point of logistics in Tartus.

Six small-sized air targets by Russian electronic warfare units managed to take control, intercepting external control. Of these, 3 were planted in controlled territory outside the base, and 3 more UAVs at detonation detonated from a collision with the ground.

Seven UAVs were destroyed by the regular air defense missile systems "Pantsir-S" of Russian air defense units carrying round-the-clock combat duty.

There are no injured or material damage to Russian military facilities.

The Russian air base "Khmeimim" and the point of the MTO of the Russian Navy in Tartus continue to operate in the planned mode.

Currently, Russian military experts are carrying out a detailed analysis of the design, technical stuffing and homemade ammunition, captured drone UAV.

As a result of the decryption of the data of the intercepted UAV, the exact place of their launch is determined.

Terrorists for the first time massively used UAVs of aircraft type, launched from a range of more than 50 kilometers using modern guidance technologies based on satellite GPS coordinates.

Technical expertise of captured aircraft showed that such attacks can be carried out by terrorists from a range of about 100 kilometers.

Engineering solutions used by terrorists in attacking Russian facilities in Syria could be obtained only from one of the countries that possess high technological capabilities to provide satellite navigation and remote control of the discharge of professionally assembled IEDs in designated coordinates. All UAV terrorists are equipped with barometric sensors and servo-drives to control the elevator.

In improvised explosive devices of terrorists attached to an aircraft-type UAV, fuses of foreign manufacture were used.

Currently, competent Russian experts establish channels for supplying terrorists with these technologies and devices, as well as the type and origin of explosives used for IEDs.

The fact of use by militants of drone unmanned aerial vehicles of an aircraft type indicates that the militants have transferred technologies that allow carrying out terrorist acts using similar UAVs in any country.

Russia has routinely accused the U.S. of offering support to jihadis such as the IS and other organizations still fighting to overthrow Assad despite him having recaptured most of the country with support from Russia and Iran.

The U.S.-led coalition tasked with defeating ISIS has denied any collusion with militants or any other groups designated to be foreign terrorist organizations. The U.S. has criticized what it called a Russian campaign of misinformation designed to discredit Western interests in Syria.

A report released last month by the U.K.'s Conflict Armament Research, however, revealed that ISIS had received extensive weaponry and ammunition from groups backed directly by the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.

One doesn't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out who is behind this!

Watching current conflicts world over and our skirmishes at LOC It looks like Indian armed forces are below par as compare to Western forces and I see no effort being made to learn.

I ask what lessons were learnt from Gulf war 1&2 when Chinese took the clue to Modernise on war scale.

It is a smoke screen that terror poses greater challenge that we are becoming hardened tackling it. Terror is an instrument that is used to bleed our resources so that we can not develop technological edge.

The debate on numbers vs technological edge though tilt in favour of numbers as our conflicts are with highly populous countries but not investing indigenously developed smart technologies is going to make us a high attrition enduring force if not pushover who would rely more on strategic restraints than an assertive, preemptive force.

When India is not even using old fashioned artillery because of "strategic restraint" at the LOC, then forget about swarm drones. The problem is that if we start using It, the pakis will also do so, although in smaller numbers.
