Russia is reporting its aircraft have flown their first mission with U.S. led aircraft in Syria.

If Obama had done this you guys would have freaked out.
 
we wanted more cooperation with them :)

Its pretty simple tbh. You want the neocon way and freeze them out then fine. Send in the army. If your not prepared to do that then work with them.

Sounds like good practice for the russo-american alliance vs china.

I am not totally against it, I just point out that if Obama had done it, you guys would freak.
 
great.
I'm sure these are ISIS targets ( which we already bomb) and not getting into the mix up against Russian air like a no fly would have done.

Maybe it will chill out some of the anti-Russian hysteria too.

I dont see how this helps the effort though. Its not like a russian or american plane doesnt have enough firepower by itself

well the Russians have been mostly bombing western/northern Syria where the anti-Assad forces are concentrated ( Aleppo/Homs/etc).
So if it gets them to stop bombing a scorched earth there -it's better.

But just the fact we can carry off joint maneuvers is the pay off in itself-compare that to the open hostility when Obama was POTUS

Wow....gettin' you news directly from Russia are ya ?.....you must have some friends in high places, Jarod.
 
why we need link in OP's

According to the Russian Defense Ministry, cited by AP, Russian warplanes have flown their first combat mission in Syria with U.S.-led coalition aircraft. Russian Interfax added that various ISIS storage facilities, and militants were eliminated in the "joint strike":

ISIL STORAGE FACILITIES, MILITANTS ELIMINATED IN JOINT STRIKE CONDUCTED BY RUSSIAN AEROSPACE FORCES, INTL COALITION FORCES IN SYRIA, WITH COORDINATES RECEIVED FROM U.S. - RUSSIAN DEFENSE MINISTRY. IFX.

However, the report was promptly denied by the Pentagon after spokesman Major Adrian Rankine-Galloway told reporters Monday that “there is no military-to-military coordination for airstrikes over targets in Syria,” Pentagon. Instead what appears to have happened is that U.S.-led coalition and Russia have communicated to prevent unforseen incidents, a process known as “deconflicting.”

This however is also suspect, because earlier in the day Sputnik reported that Russia had received coordinates of Daesh targets in Al-Bab, Aleppo Province, from the US via the 'direct line,' according to the Russian Defense Minsitry said Monday. The United States has provided coordinates of the terrorists' targets in the city of Al-Bab in Aleppo province for Russian airstrikes. After the reconaissance check, Russia and two coalition jets have conducted joint airstrikes on the Daesh targets in the region.

"On January 22, the Russian command center at the Hmeymim airbase has received coordinates of Daesh targets in Al-Bab, Aleppo province, via the 'direct line' from the US-led coalition headquarters. After further data verification with the assistance of unmanned aircraft and space reconaissance, the Russian Aerospace Forces and two jets of the international coalition have conducted airstrikes on the terrorists' targets," the statement said.

It appears that the source of the confusion is that instead of US planes, Russia was conducting joint strikes with Turkish warplanes: according to Sputnik Russian and Turkish combat planes have carried out a new series of joint airstrikes against Daesh targets in war-torn Syria, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Monday.

"On January 21, the Russian Aerospace Forces and the Turkish Air Force conducted a new joint operation striking Daesh group near Al-Bab in the province of Aleppo," the ministry said.

According to the statement, the missions involved three Russian planes, including two Su-24M and a Su-34 aircraft, and four Turkish planes, including two F-16 and two F-4 fighter-bombers.
