Russian Defense Ministry believes that the leaks to the media about possible US strikes on the Syrian army could be a preface to real action, spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said.
"A number of Western media outlets have published "leaks" about the talks held in the White House administration about the possibility to hold missile and airstrikes on the positions of the Syrian army,"
Konashenkov said. "As history has shown, such "leaks" often prove to be a preface to real action." Konashenkov said that any missile or air strike on the territories controlled by the Syrian government, would pose clear threat to Russian military personnel.
He commented further that "Russian S-300, S-400 air defense systems deployed in Syria have combat ranges that may surprise any unidentified airborne targets. Operators of Russian air defense systems won't have time to identify the origin of airstrikes, and the response will be immediate."
