A Mediterranean Battlefield - Syria

[Peter Lemkin]

From Syrian media English. Unsubstantiated at this stage.

According to some reliable sources, Syrian jets have penetrated Turkish airspace and bombarded assembly points for terrorist groups. Earlier, a Syrian jet whose model will be withheld until further notice, was seen flying near the Turkish border while their war games were on going.

No response was made by Turkish air defense and the tracking radars were not even switched on.

The mission was successful.

Hadn't heard this one yet on any media. Not of great importance, but many of the Syrian jets are Czech made [only know that as the local press here noted that]....others are Soviet or Russian. Those sold to the Syrians by the Czechs were after the fall of Communism in CZE. Business is business - more so in weapons and war! Something is wrong if the event happened and the Turkish radar and defenses were down.....as a virtual state of war exists between the nations - or could turn to that at any moment. I note, however, the Syrian media here is playing the same cynical game as the other side in citing 'reliable, but unnamed, sources'. Calling Sybil Edwards!
