This opinion was expressed at a press conference in Kyiv, a correspondent reports "PolitNavigator", said Mikhail Pogrebinsky, head of the Kyiv Center for Political Research and Conflictology, commenting on Moscow's statement about its readiness to reinstate the memorandum on incident prevention and flight safety in Syria if the US guarantees that strikes will only target terrorists.
“Although I, who understand a little about physics and technology, can say that Russia does not have the ability to protect Syria from attacks by planes or missiles. So the statement “If you fly, we will shoot you down” is an empty phrase. It is impossible to shoot them down. missiles fly at altitude... as do fifth-generation aircraft, which Russia does not have. There are “four and a half” planes, very good ones, but nothing like the Americans. In addition, I have qualified consultants,” said the political scientist.
As PolitNavigator reported, after an American missile strike on a Syrian airbase Russia broke the agreement, which guaranteed the safety of American aircraft in Syria.
