“A Russian military aircraft was exposed to “the guidance systems” of F-16 fighter jets of the U.S.-led coalition during a routine patrol over Syria’s southern border, Rear Admiral Oleg Gurinov was quoted as telling TASS news agency on Thursday.” What does “exposed to the guidance system” mean? Are they trying to say the the russian aircraft was lit up by the F-16 radar system?

Was the F-16 upside-down and right on top of the Russian fighter’s cockpit, with the F-16 pilot giving the Russian pilot the middle-finger?

If not, if was just an innocent mistake by the American fighter pilot.

The Russians are referreing to locking on with the missile guidance radar. This is generally regarded as a hostile act.

“...”affected” the Russian aircraft with their guidance systems.....”

meaning the F-16’s locked onto the Russian aircraft and with the pushing of a button could have downed the Russian aircraft with a missile and activated a nuclear war. Brilliant strategy!!!!!

Show us on the doll where the bad men touched you, Gurinov.

“Brilliant strategy!!!!!”

Might not be brilliant but this type of gamesmanship happens between the US and Russia, and the US and China, and has been going on for decades. And it goes both ways.

I don’t know what the hell we’re doing with respect to most things.
It honestly seems like Bizarro America.
