Iranian fighter jets over Syria alongside Russian bombers




(Debka File)  -  A series of videos apparently leaked by the Russian Defense Ministry reveal the presence of Iranian F-14 and MiG -29 fighters in Syrian skies for the first time. 

They were shown by “The Aviationist,” Italian magazine, escorting heavy Russian bombers, including the Tupolev TU-160, the heaviest, fastest and most destructive bomber ever built, on missions no more than 150 km from Israel’s northern border.

The ageing F-14s, built in the 1970s by American aviation giant Grumman, were originally sold to Iran when the Shah was in power and taken over by the reorganized Iranian air force after the 1979 Islamic revolution. 

Upgraded many times, the F-14s now feature state-of-the-art avionics, weapons and navigation systems, procured by Tehran despite the strict UN embargo on their sale to the Islamic Republic.

Dozens of these upgraded warplanes, upgraded with intelligence-collection and tracking systems, have begun operating in Syrian air space near the Israeli border, under the pretense of escorting the Russian bombers. Iranian eyes in the sky are therefore studying the frontier area and gather valuable intelligence on Israel’s air defenses. 

Normally, if Iranian warplanes had turned up in Syrian air space, the Israeli Air Force would have fought them off and shot them down, but by flying alongside Russian bombers they are protecting themselves against Israeli action.

Ask yourself a Question
Why are so many Republicans and Democrats crapping themselves that
Russia is dropping bombs on Islamists? Isn't that the idea?
.
Maybe, just maybe, it is because the CIA, Turkey and Saudi Arabia
have been arming ISIS and the other Islamists all along.
