Incidents in Syria: Russian pilots "cooled" upon arrival F-35 to the Middle East

American General Alexus Ginkevich noted that the situation has changed after cases of aggressive behavior of Russian pilots have been made public. Russia's aircraft no longer provoke American fighters and drones over Syria, which indicates the abandonment of the hostility observed at the beginning of this year. This is probably due to the fact that the Russian pilots "cooled" after the F-35 fighters were placed in the Middle East. This was reported on October 5 at Defense One.

Lieutenant General Alexus Ginkevich, who heads the central command of the US Air Force, said that the behavior of Russian aircraft in the sky over Syria has changed after the incidents have become public. "We have seen that after we have published some of their most flashy actions, this behavior has changed," the commander said. In April, Grinkevich reported cases of aggressive behavior of Russian pilots who provoked American planes in the sky to enroll.

In addition, there were cases of aggression, including the pursuit of MQ-9 unmanned aerial vehicles. As a result of these actions, the US Air Force was sent to the Middle East of the F-22, F-35 and F-16 aircraft. Also, the Navy's destroyer appeared in the Strait of the Strait to monitor the actions of Iran, after which the provocations of the Russians stopped.
