Syrian military analyst and retired general Sabit Muhammed spoke to Sputnik about the future of Russian-Turkish relations following the downing of a Russian Su-24 bomber by the Turkish Air Force over Syria.
“Russia’s response to Turkey following the aircraft incident will be a more determined action in Syria,” Muhammad told Sputnik.
“Russia must defend its position in Syria. For this reason, the range of the S-400 missiles, which were placed in Latakia, covering certain regions of Turkey, extends to the Mediterranean coast. For those countries that decide to join action in Syria, it will be necessary to establish and maintain cooperation with Russia, to be able to operate in Syrian airspace.”
According to Sabit Muhammed, “this will allow Russia to substantially strengthen its position as an influential player in the region. If the incident with the downed aircraft did not happen, Russia’s decision to accommodate the S-400 systems in Syria would have faced serious opposition from the other states.”
