US defence official accuses Russian military of ‘reckless behaviour’ by flying dangerously close and releasing flares during US mission against Islamic State

Tensions between the United States and Russia escalate as Russian SU-35 fighter aircraft dangerously intercept US MQ-9 drones over Syria. In a video released by US Air Forces Central, Russian jets are seen engaging in unsafe behavior by deploying parachute flares and positioning their aircraft in front of the MQ-9 drones. Lt. Gen. Alex Grynkewich, commander of 9th Air Force in the Middle East, condemns the incidents, emphasizing that they violate established norms and jeopardize the safety of both US and Russian forces. Urging the Russian forces to cease such actions, Grynkewich emphasizes the need for professional behavior to focus on defeating ISIS. Details of the drone operation and the specific location of the incidents remain undisclosed.

You know,I seem to recall more that one incident in syria involving the us deliberately shooting down iranian drones when these were carrying out operations against anti SAR insurgents.
And on at least one occasion actually bombing SAA forces that were engaging isis fighters.
Obviously these so called "established norms" that the us talks about only seem to apply to the us forces and their vassals.Funny that,eh?

Hilarious. Americans armed Taliban to fight Soviets in Afghanistan. TTP specifically is an American creation in its nature.

In Syria they armed ISIS terrorists and gathered them from around the world into Syria to fight Iranian influence in the region. Consequently removing Russian presence from Mediterraneans.

Now they claim, we were fighting against ISIS and suddenly Russians came out of no where and harrassed us.

These bastards know no border in their hypocrisy. But who cares? Their forces are constantly getting hit here and there.

LOL! U.S. has been fighting ISIS for years. Stop making it look like the U.S. was not.
