Why the Russian group in Syria will not have a chance against the United States
Sarah Sanders, a spokeswoman for the White House, was asked to comment on Donald Trump’s harsh social media attacks on Russia and its military group in Syria. She said that the option of coercive measures on the part of the United States is not excluded.
A blow to the Russian military by the Americans is quite likely, but it is considered only as one of the options. She also said that US intelligence has accurate information about the involvement of the Kremlin and Damascus in the chemical attack in East Ghouta.
Will there be a clash with the USA?
Of course, the loud statements of Trump and a number of other US officials should be taken seriously and actively prepared for any option for the development of events, including for the force one. The head of the General Staff had stated before that that if a threat to our troops would open fire not only on missiles, but also on the objects from which they were launched, for example, on ships or aircraft.
But there is another side to the coin. It is well known that the Russian and American military maintain constant contact and hold consultations. Communication is between our General Staff and the American Committee of Chiefs of Staff. This coordination explains the lack of response from the Russian military to Trump's threats.
We should not forget about the coordination of actions in Syria between Russia and Turkey. Through contacts with Turkey, the Russian military leadership maintains a dialogue with NATO structures.
What are the chances of the Russian group in the event of a conflict with the United States?
It should be understood that the Russian armed forces in Syria in the event of a conflict with the United States may be in a difficult position.
The Sixth American Fleet is constantly located in the Mediterranean Sea. In addition, the eighth carrier group was sent there. In walking distance, in the Persian Gulf zone is the Fifth Fleet, which can also be connected. All these forces include cruise missiles, aircraft, helicopters, marines, etc. Britain, France and Saudi Arabia are likely to also take part in the operation.
Our warships are now withdrawn from the Russian Tartus naval base due to the risk of a missile strike. The United States and its allies can quickly form a group many times larger than ours in numbers. We will not forget about the military bases in Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
According to Russian military experts, in the case of full-scale military operations, our group has no chance of survival. But such a conflict can only erupt by accident, due to an error or provocation.
It should be understood that the Russian army may not be limited to an answer only in the Syrian direction. These or other US ships are almost always located in the waters of the Black and Baltic Seas, and NATO submarines plow the northern borders of Russia. Quite frankly, there are plenty of goals.
Mutual hostile actions are inevitable. Most likely, they will consist in rocket attacks on Syrian military installations and positions of government troops. And the Russian answer, most likely, will be to intercept and destroy American missiles.
Despite the fact that a victory over ISIS has already been won, there is no reason to wait for an end to the military conflict in Syria.
