Russian warplanes reportedly bombed a secret military base in Syria used by
elite American and British forces last month.

The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that the Russian strike on the
CIA-linked site was part of a campaign by Russia to pressure the White House
to agree to closer cooperation in the Syrian skies, U.S. military and
intelligence officials said.

Despite the fact that some forces could have been killed and the bombing
dampened relations between Russia and the Pentagon and CIA, the White House
and State Department still persued a compromise.

The U.S. and Russia agreed to a pact last week to target airstrikes against
the Al Qaeda affiliate in the region – Nusra Front – despite objections
from the Pentagon and CIA. Russia agreed to stop airstrikes on U.S.-backed
rebels and restrain the Syrian air campaign. The two sides are still talking
about designations where Russia would need U.S. approval to conduct an
airstrike.

According to The Wall Street Journal, deal backers in the White House and
State Department believe U.S. airstrikes on the Nusra Front in areas that
were previously occupied by Russian forces would provide protection for
allies in Syria.

However, officials in the Pentagon and CIA contend that Washington bowed to
Moscow in the deal and believe that the U.S. needs to confront Russia.

The Russian strike on the base occurred on June 16. The U.S. and British
forces help maintain what is described as a buffer zone in Jordan. Forces go
into Syria to help protect Jordan from Islamic State, U.S. officials told The
Journal. Forces didn’t spend the night, due to security reasons.

Nearly a day before the strike, 20 of 24 British special forces pulled out of
the base. The U.S. tracked a Russian plane heading toward the base. The
warplane dropped a cluster bomb, according to U.S. and rebel officials.

After the first strike, U.S. central command air operations center in Qatar
called Russia’s air campaign headquarters in Latakia, Syria to tell them
that the base shouldn’t be attacked.

However, Russian forces struck again nearly 90 minutes after the call was
made. Russian pilots didn’t respond to U.S. calls using frequencies the two
sides had previously agreed to use in case of an emergency.

At least four rebels were killed in strikes.

Russian officials initially told the Pentagon that the military thought it
was an Islamic State facility, but U.S. officials rejected the notion because
of what they described as a unique way the base was fortified, The Journal
reported.

Russians then said that the Jordanians had given them the go-ahead to strike
the base, but the U.S. double-checked and said no such authorization was
given. Later, Russia told the U.S. that their headquarters wasn’t in
position to call off the strike because the U.S. didn’t provide them with
the proper coordinates of the base.

U.S. officials said that the Pentagon had never asked the Russians to steer
clear of that area because it wasn’t close to the front lines and Russian
aircraft didn’t operate in that part of Syria anyway.

The strike has increased the distrust between U.S. and American forces in
Syria. According to the Wall Street Journal, the U.S. didn’t want to give
Russia any more information than they had to.

Since the strike, the U.S. has told Russia to steer clear of the Jordanian
border.

俄羅斯誤轟敘利亞美軍基地 炸死至少四個人



這架戰機先是丟了一顆炸彈


俄羅斯先表示以為炸的是ISIS基地


後來又表示約旦有授權給這次行動 (此基地是為了防止敘利亞的ISIS軍進入約旦所設)

但是美國表示根本就沒有這回事



在這次事件之前美國並沒有特地要求俄軍避開這附近
(因為並不是前線而且俄軍本來就沒在那出沒)

現在美軍已經要求俄軍不要過來...
