The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) is reporting today that President Putin has authorized the immediate deployment to the Levant War Zone (Syria) of at least 30 additional Aerospace Forces air-to-air Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets that have proven capable of defeating their most sophisticated counterparts used by the US Air Force. 

The mission of these Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets, this report explains, is to “deter/target/destroy” Obama regime forces aircraft that have illegally begun dropping war supplies to ISIS terrorists in Syria in violation of international law after Aerospace Forces have nearly obliterated all of ISIS/ISIL forces ammunition and heavy vehicles within this war zone.

In a public address earlier today castigating the Obama regime for arming these ISIS terrorists, this report says, President Putin further stated:

"Now they announced that they are supplying the Free Syrian Army with weapons, ammunition. Where is this Free Syrian Army? If they just unload and throw these arms, weapons and ammunition out of air, where is the guarantee that it would not fall into the hands of ISIL like it was during the preparation of another makeup of the Syrian army?"

This report notes that the Obama regimes propaganda about the existence of a Free Syrian Army was proven to be a myth by one of America’s own mainstream news sources, NBC, who in examining these alleged fighters described them as:

"The Free Syrian Army is an army in name only. It is made up of hundreds of small units, some secular, some religious – whether mainstream or radical. Others are family gangs, or simply criminals."

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, this report further explains, who has “no doubt” these Obama regime weapons have fallen into ISIS terrorists hands, even asked his Obama regime counterpart, US Secretary of State John Kerry, to provide information about this “fake” army so that Russia might coordinate with them, a request to which Secretary Kerry did not even reply.

With the Obama regimes actions in regard to protecting their ISIS terrorists, this report continues, they have, also, become more insane by the day as aside from them now dropping war supplies to them, they have now begun assisting Turkey in bombing the Kurdish fighters in Iraq whom, likewise, had just been supplied with American arms and ammunition.

Upon Turkey’s bombing of these Kurdish forces fighting against ISIS terrorists, this report says, President Putin held an urgent meeting with the Turkish ambassador to Moscow, Mr Ümit Yardim, wherein Russia’s leader told him:

“...tell your dictator president he can go to hell along with his ISIS terrorists and I shall make Syria to nothing but a ‘Big Stalingrad’, for Erdoğan and his Saudi allies are no less vicious than Adolf Hitler.”

Also, this report continues, President Putin delivered the same “forceful” message to Saudi Arabia’s defence minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Salman when they met this past weekend in response to Saudi clerics declaring war against Russia. 

President Putin’s “verbal imagery” comparing the Great Patriotic War (World War II) Battle of Stalingrad to what is now happening in Syria to both Turkey and Saudi Arabia, this report details, should not be lost in its fullest meeting as that strategic confrontation against Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany was over the oil resources in that region—and to which Hitler accurately described its critical importance by stating: “If I do not get the oil of Maikop and Grozny then I must finish [liquidieren; "kill off", "liquidate"] this war.”

Chinese Aircraft Carrier, Guided Missile Cruiser Dock at Syrian Port

Chinese Aircraft Carrier Liaoning-CV-16

As US President Barack Obama welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping to the White House on Friday, Sept. 25, and spoke of the friendship between the two countries, the Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning-CV-16 docked at the Syrian port of Tartus, accompanied by a guided missile cruiser. This is revealed exclusively by DEBKAfile.

Beijing is not finding it hard to dance at two weddings, wooing the US for better relations, while at the same time backing Russia in its military intervention in Syria. Coupled with the warm smiles and handshakes exchanged at the lavish reception on the White House lawn, Beijing was clearly bent on showing muscle – not just in the South China Sea, but by allying itself with the Russian-Iranian political and military buildup in support of Syrian President Bashar Assad and his regime.

DEBKAfile’s military sources report that the Chinese aircraft carrier passed through the Suez Canal on Sept. 22, one day after the summit in Moscow between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu.

When they talked, Putin made no mention of the Chinese warship entering the eastern Mediterranean or its destination. Its arrival has upended the entire strategic situation surrounding the Syrian conflict, adding a new global dimension to Moscow and Tehran’s military support for Assad.

This was grasped at length by US Secretary of State John Kerry. On Sept. 25, he sent Under Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, who also led the US negotiating team for the nuclear talks with Iran, to announce that the Obama administration is ready for dialogue with Iran about the situation in Syria, and this topic would be raised when Kerry’s met Iranian Foreign Minister Muhammad Jawad Zarif in New York on Sept. 26.

But if the top US diplomat hoped to bypass the Russian initiative in Syria by going straight to Tehran, he was too late. Iran is already moving forward fast to augment its military presence in the war-torn country, buttressed by the ground, air and sea support of two world powers, Russia and China.

This turn of evens has a highly detrimental effect on Israel’s strategic and military position. It also strengthens Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in his determination to turn the nuclear deal concluded in July into a tool for isolating the US politically, militarily and economically in the Middle East, rather than a milestone on the road to a breakthrough in ties with Iran, as the Obama administration had hoped.

Our military sources find evidence that the Chinese forces are digging in for a prolonged stay in Syria. The carrier put into Tartus minus its aircraft contingent. The warplanes and helicopters should be in place on its decks by mid-November – flying in directly from China via Iran or transported by giant Russian transports from China through Iranian and Iraqi airspace.

This explains the urgency of establishing a Russian-Syria-Iranian “military coordination cell” in Baghdad in the last couple of days. This mechanism, plus the Russian officers sighted in Baghdad, indicates that the Russian military presence is not limited to Syria but is beginning to spill over into Iraq as well.

The coordination cell – or war room – was presented as necessary to begin working with Iranian-backed Shiite militias fighting the Islamic State in both places. But more immediately, it is urgently needed to control the heavy traffic of Russian, Iranian and Chinese military flights transiting Iraqi air space.

Our sources report that the Chinese will be sending out to Syria a squadron of J-15 Flying Shark fighters, some for takeoff positions on the carrier’s decks, the rest to be stationed at the Russian airbase near Latakia. The Chinese will also deploy Z-18F anti-submarine helicopters and Z-18J airborne early warning helicopters. In addition, Beijing will consign at least 1,000 marines to fight alongside their counterparts from Russia and Iran against terrorist groups, including ISIS.

DEBKAfile’s counterterrorism sources point out that just as Russian marines will be instructed to single out rebel militias with recruits from Chechnya and the Caucasus, the Chinese marines will seek out and destroy Uighur fighters from the northern predominantly Muslim Chinese province of Xinjiang.

In the same way that Putin has no wish to see the Chechen fighters back in Russia, so too Chinese President Xi wants to prevent the Uighurs from returning home from the Syrian battlefields.
