Netanyahu in quick summit with Putin under cloud of Russian S-300 anti-air missiles for Syria
On Saturday, Sept. 19, just two days before Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahus summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the presidential dacha outside Moscow, troops at the Russian base outside the coastal Syrian city of Latakia were seen preparing to deploy batteries of advanced S-300 anti-aircraft missiles. Their presence in Syria will raise major questions, one of which is this: against which air power are they deployed, given the fact that the Islamic State has no air force.
Their deployment therefore poses troubling ramifications for the ongoing Syrian civil war as well as the region as a whole. For Israel, the placement of S-300 missiles in Syria is problematic for three reasons:
1. They seriously reduce the Israeli Air Forces freedom of action in Lebanese and Syrian airspace.
2. Following a spate of contradictory and muddled statements about Moscows intentions to withhold the S-300s from Syria and Iran an apparent smoke screen -, it turns out that they are coming to Syria after all.
3. The Russians say they are building up military strength in Syria to fight ISIS. But neither ISIS nor any other regional power poses an air threat to the Russian deployment. So the state-of-the-art air defense missile delivered to Syria, to which Iran too has access,doespose a threat to Israels security.

Its deployment in Syria appears to signal that Putin has a long game for his military buildup in Syria - far-reaching that it would appear.
Each day brings news of more Russian forces arriving in Syria. At first, reports said several hundred marines were being deployed, but now preparations are being made for 2,000 of them.
A similar process is occurring with the deployment of anti-aircraft missiles. Initially, reports said that Moscow was providing Syria with the SA-22, known as the Pantsir-S1, but those missiles never arrived. Now, it appears that the S-300 is to be deployed instead.
The arrival of four advanced multi-role Sukhoi 30SM (Flanker) tactical jets in Latakia on Sept. 18 has also raised eyebrows. It came just hours after US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter met with Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu in an effort to prevent collisions between US and Russian forces operating in Syria. As those jets are intended for air-to-air combat, observers wonder which forces are to be targeted. The same question hangs over the half a dozen MiG-31 interceptors, which landed in Damascus earlier this month.
So what is Putins real game in Syria?
In another development that was only noticed in very few circles in the West and Israel, Iranian Gen. Yahya Rahim Safavi, military advisor of Irans supreme leader --------- Ali Khamenei, said on Friday, Sept. 18: Russia moves in coordination with Iran in some regional issues including Syria.
In other words, the US and Israel, which are attempting to coordinate their military steps with those of Russia, have already fallen behind.
Reports in Israel over the last few days have claimed that Putin was keen on holding the summit even more than Netanyahu, and that the Israeli Air Force had started setting up a mechanism for liaison with the Russian Air Force in order to prevent inadvertent collisions.
But these plans have been overtaken by events

There is no doubt that Netanyahu is making a bold statement by bringing to the Kremlin meeting the IDF chief of staff Lt. Gen. Gady Eisenkot and the head of military intelligence, Maj. Gen. Hertzi Halevi. This is the first time such high-ranking military officers have participated in a meeting of the Israeli and Russian leaders.
debkafiles sources in Moscow report that Putin will be attended by his national security advisor, Nikolai Patrushev. This is the Russian presidents way of indicating that, for him, the talks will focus on a general assessment of the Syrian situation, whereas Israel is seeking a discussion on the military aspects of the growing Russian intervention..
In this context, it should be mentioned that, when the commander of Irans Al-Qods brigades, Gen. Qassem Soleimani, visited Moscow 10 days ago, the most senior Russian official he met was Patrushev.

Russia ramps up military buildup to 28 combat aircraft
Russia continued its military buildup in Syria over the weekend to a total of 28 combat aircraft plus 16 helicopters on the ground, US national security sources reports. The Russians masked the transport of the military aircraft by flying them in behind the giant Antonov-124 transport aircraft. The speed of the Russian buildup has surprised the US

What Kind of Jets Russia Sent to Syrian Air Base Latakia
23/09/2015
Satellite photos from few days ago (see HEREprevious post) shows landed 4 Multi-role fighters Su-30SM Flankers, 12 Sukhoi Su-24 Fencers and 12 Sukhoi Su-25 Frogfoot, at Syrian Air Base, Latakia, Bassel al Assad International Airport.
First questions were, after 1st photo was on the socialnetworks, what will Russians do with four Su-30SM Flankers there?
Well, now is more or less clear that Flankers will do there just (probably) support actions as a fighters for other 12 Su-25 (close air support and attack jet) and 12 Su-24 (strike attack jet).
Lets see about what kind of jets we are talking about.
Su-30SM Flanker
Multi-role fighter aircraft by Sukhoi Bureau, modern i.e. advanced derivative of Su-30MKfamily. First flight was made in September 2012. and it was designed in accordance with requirements of the Russian Air Force. Su-30SM is designed for counter air strikes, counter land and counter sea actions and is possible to conduct electronic counter-countermeasures and early warning tasks. Su-30SM also can play a role as a command and control platform withing a fleet of combat aircraft performing joint missions. Maybe this last one mentioned would be main role in Syria in war against Islamic State (IS).
Su-30SM is twin-seater with ejection seats, advanced avionics, multi-function displays, head up display and have features identification friend-or-foe equipment, global positioning system and inertial navigation system, air-refueling system. This amazing jet have open architecture design which allows integration of modern avionics, including new radar system, radio and recognition system,¡-

The aircraft can engage aerial threats, ground and naval surface targets by deploying on-board air-to-air and air-to-surface guided/unguided weapons. It can be fitted with anti-surface weaponry such as rockets and rocket pods for conducting land attack operations.
Su-24 Fencer
Supersonic, all-weather attack aircraft developed in the Soviet Union. This variable-sweep wing, twin-engined side-by-side twin-seater carried the USSRs first integrated digital navigation/attack system. Introduced in 1974., this attacker is still in service in few countries like Ukraine, Iran, Syria, Very similar to American General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark .
Su-24M and M2 versions which Russia uses, is modernized variants with upgraded cockpit with multi-function displays (MFDs), head up displays (HUD), digital moving-map generator, Shchel helmet-mounted sights, and provision for the latest guided weapons, including R-73 (AA-11 Archer)air-to-air missiles. Weapons can carry: 500 and 1,500kg laser-guided bombs and TV-guided bombs, laser/TV-guided missiles Kh-25 and Kh-29L/T, anti-radar missiles Kh-58 and Kh-14 (AS-12 Kegler) and Kh-59 (AS-13 Kingbolt)/Kh-59M TV-target seeker guided missiles. M2 have upgraded weapons system so can carry more as Kh-31A/P, Kh-59MK, KAB-500S
Su-25 Frogfoot
Single-seat, twin-engine jet aircraft developed in the Soviet Union by the Sukhoi Design Bureau. It was designed to provide close air support for the Soviet Ground Forces. The first prototype made its maiden flight on 22 February 1975. After testing, the aircraft went into series production in 1978. Local name for this bird is Grach (Rook). Early variants included the Su-25UB two-seat trainer, the Su-25BM for target-towing, and the Su-25K for export customers

A Chinese aircraft carrier docks at Tartus to support Russian-Iranian military buildup
As US President Barack Obama welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping to the White House on Friday, Sept. 25, and spoke of the friendship between the two countries, the Chinese aircraft carrierLiaoning-CV-16docked at the Syrian port of Tartus, accompanied by a guided missile cruiser. This is revealed exclusively bydebkafile.
Beijing is not finding it hard to dance at two weddings, wooing the US for better relations, while at the same time backing Russia in its military intervention in Syria. Coupled with the warm smiles and handshakes exchanged at the lavish reception on the White House lawn, Beijing was clearly bent on showing muscle not just in the South China Sea, but by allying itself with the Russian-Iranian political and military buildup in support of Syrian President Bashar Assad and his regime.
debkafiles military sources report that the Chinese aircraft carrier passed through the Suez Canal on Sept. 22, one day after the summit in Moscow between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.
When they talked, Putin made no mention of the Chinese warship entering the eastern Mediterranean or its destination. Its arrival has upended the entire strategic situation surrounding the Syrian conflict, adding a new global dimension to Moscow and Tehrans military support for Assad

This was grasped at length by US Secretary of State John Kerry. On Sept. 25, he sent Under Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, who also led the US negotiating team for the nuclear talks with Iran, to announce that the Obama administration is ready for dialogue with Iran about the situation in Syria, and this topic would be raised when Kerrys met Iranian Foreign Minister Muhammad Jawad Zarif in New York on Sept. 26.
But if the top US diplomat hoped to bypass the Russian initiative in Syria by going straight to Tehran, he was too late. Iran is already moving forward fast to augment its military presence in the war-torn country, buttressed by the ground, air and sea support of two world powers, Russia and China.
This turn of evens has a highly detrimental effect on Israels strategic and military position. It also strengthens Irans supreme leader --------- Ali Khamenei in his determination to turn the nuclear deal concluded in July into a tool for isolating the US politically, militarily and economically in the Middle East, rather than a milestone on the road to a breakthrough in ties with Iran, as the Obama administration had hoped.
Our military sources find evidence that the Chinese forces are digging in for a prolonged stay in Syria. The carrier put into Tartus minus its aircraft contingent. The warplanes and helicopters should be in place on its decks by mid-November - flying in directly from China via Iran or transported by giant Russian transports from China through Iranian and Iraqi airspace.
