"Selaras dengan keputusan Pemerintah Tertinggi Angkatan Tentera Rusia, hari ini (kelmarin) sistem peluru berpandu pertahanan udara S-400 telah segera dihantar, digunakan dan sudah memulakan tugas pertempuran untuk memberikan perlindungan kepada kawasan sekitar Khmeimim pangkalan udara Rusia di Syria, "kata Ketua-Major Igor Konashenkov, berkata Kementerian Pertahanan jurucakap Rusia.

Russia deploys cutting-edge S-400 air defense system to Syrian base after Su-24 downing . . .

Moscow has deployed its newest S-400 air defense missile system to Khmeimim in Syria as part of a security boost following the downing of a Russian jet by Turkey earlier this week.

“In accordance with the decision of the Supreme Commander of the Russian Armed Forces, today (on Monday) an S-400 air defense missile system has been promptly delivered, deployed and already began combat duty to provide cover for the area around the Russian Khmeimim air base in Syria,” General-Major Igor Konashenkov, Russia’s Ministry of Defense spokesman, said.

Mengulas mengenai keputusan itu, Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin berkata, sebelum ini ada keperluan untuk langkah-langkah tersebut, kerana "tidak ada orang yang membayangkan pesawat Rusia dapat berada dalam bahaya. Rusia akan telah membawa S-400-an ke Syria lama dahulu untuk melindungi pesawat perang mereka, jika ia dilayan kemungkinan Backstab khianat."

Putin menegaskan, bagaimanapun, bahawa S-400 sistem tidak mensasarkan rakan kongsi Rusia, "dengan siapa kita memerangi pengganas di Syria bersama-sama."

Tetapi yang menembak jatuh pengebom Su-24 Rusia oleh Turki mendorong Rusia untuk "memastikan keselamatan pesawat kami semasa operasi mereka terhadap IS [dan] terhadap pengganas LIH dan kumpulan pengganas lain melalui cara yang lebih dipercayai," kata jurucakap Kementerian Pertahanan Konahsenkov dalam taklimat media.

S-400 adalah sistem pertahanan anti-pesawat yang paling maju di Rusia, dan tiada tandingan dalam DUNIA.

Ia direka untuk memastikan pertahanan udara menggunakan panjang dan sederhana peluru berpandu yang boleh mengenai sasaran udara, termasuk pesawat taktikal dan strategik serta peluru berpandu balistik dan pelayaran, pada jarak sehingga 400 kilometer.

Sistem ini terdiri daripada satu set radar, pelancar peluru berpandu dan markas perintah, dan dikendalikan sepenuhnya oleh tentera Rusia.

Sebelum itu pada hari Selasa, Su-24 Rusia telah ditembak jatuh oleh jet pejuang F-16 Turki berhampiran sempadan Turki-Syria.

Seorang juruterbang Rusia telah dibunuh oleh pemberontak Syria manakala dalam payung terjun, dengan yang lain diselamatkan dan dihantar ke pangkalan udara Khmeimim.

Walaupun tuntutan dari Ankara, Moscow menegaskan bahawa jet yang terhempas di Syria, tidak melanggar ruang udara Turki.

Tidak lama selepas kejadian itu, Kementerian Pertahanan mengumumkan 3 langkah-langkah yang telah diambil berikutan serangan ke atas pengebom Su-24 Rusia, termasuk peruntukan perlindungan udara oleh jet pejuang untuk setiap serangan udara, yang meningkatkan pertahanan udara dengan menggerakkan kapal perang peluru berpandu pd pantai Latakia, dan menggantung semua persahabatan tentera-ke-tentera dengan Turki.

Commenting on the decision, Russia's President Vladimir Putin said there was previously no need for such measures, because "no-one imagined the Russian aircraft could be in danger. Russia would've brought S-400s to Syria a long time ago to protect its warplanes, if it entertained the possibility of a traitorous backstab."

Putin reiterated, however, that the S-400 systems are not targeting Russia's partners, "with whom we fight terrorists in Syria together."

But the downing of the Russian Su-24 bomber by Turkey prompted Russia to “ensure the safety of our aircraft during their operations against IS [and] against terrorists LIH and other terrorist groups via more reliable means,” Defense Ministry spokesman Konahsenkov said in a media briefing.

The S-400 is the most advanced anti-aircraft defense system in Russia, and is unparalleled in the world.

It’s designed to ensure air defense using long- and medium-range missiles that can hit aerial targets, including tactical and strategic aircraft as well as ballistic and cruise missiles, at ranges of up to 400 kilometers.

The system consists of a set of radars, missile launchers and command posts, and is operated solely by the Russian military.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Russian Su-24 was shot down by a Turkish F-16 fighter jet near the Turkish-Syrian border.

One Russian pilot was killed by Syrian rebels while parachuting, with the other one was rescued and delivered to Khmeimim airbase.

Despite claims from Ankara, Moscow maintains that its jet, which crashed in Syria, didn’t violate Turkey's airspace.
