26977 - Tupolev-22M3 and Sukhoi-34 over Syria
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias
The fact that we simultaneously have massive and effective attacks in Iraq both by the Kurds and the Americans, and in Syria by the Russians, is anything but coincidental.
And it all occurs not merely regarding a context of support, as most assume, but it’s on the contrary literally about zones of influence, as we can observe them in the cases of Treaties, before they are actually signed.
The Tupolev-22M3 inevitably are causing a phase change, as due to their wide-range, they enable the bombardment deep into Iraq, through Iran.
Because we no longer talk about military campaigns at the border limits, and the Sukhoi-34 fighters which come in support of the bombers, don’t merely keep the region under surveillance.
It’s understood by all, that Russia is actively growing its presence in the Middle East.
This new balance within America and Russia in the form of an informal cooperation, is bothering certain regional forces, which can’t withstand the pressures from within their own area of control.
We are observing, that in military terms, a situation which will also change the borders of the region is being formed.
Therefore, Russia wants to play a dynamic and catalytic role in the wider region, but also in Syria’s reformation in accordance with Kurdistan.
