“The Russians carried out only one half or at best a quarter of the strikes they claim to have conducted,” said a senior military official.

Putin showing Obama that the Russian Air Force can find, track, and shootdown U.S. drones.

Track? They have probably hacked into the radio control signals, and receive the GPS readings directly from the drones.

[Buckeye McFrog]

They’ve probably hacked the control software and can monitor in real-time.

The russians never got lucky in intercepting the drones. It was all by intention.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

Time for U.S. to pull back from any Syrian operations. What we have been doing has been totally ineffective and we don’t want one of our planes shot down as a result of a miscalculation. Russia will use a scorched Earth policy without regard for humanitarian issues or collateral damage. Their objective is to win and control land which was the old fashioned way to win wars.

I wait a few months to see if anything the Russians say is true

The U.S. military’s MQ-1 Predator drone is not a stealth aircraft.

Russia is squeezing Americans out of land and airspace and it seems like no one knows what they are doing. This is not good.— Amanda Carpenter (@amandacarpenter) October 7, 2015

[I want the USA back]

Putin has little respect for our fearless leader.

NATO is an oligarch bankster debt collection, extortion, destabilization and punishment schematic that is trying to start WWIII because the oligarchy is uncomfortable about the quantity of data about their methods and organizational structure available on the Internet.

The predator drone can do 300 mph.

The Russians must some fast planes.

[Bobalu]

I don’t think it is guaranteed that the Russians can’t track an F22.

Would not be easy and software would need a good bit of data before it could become reliable... but there is a tiny radar return from stealth aircraft.

Doubtful that the radar in another aircraft could track an F22 until it was pretty close though and no missile could track it with on-board sensors.

Stealth allows you to get closer to a target before it can see you...it doesn’t make you invisible.

I read that some F22’s were sent over recently. They will not be able to overfly Syria without the Russians knowing about it..IMO
