The United States, meanwhile, says it is trying to avoid such an option, calling Russian behavior escalating.
The Russians carried out more operations against the coalition this month in Syria, led by the United States than usual. This was reported by the WSJ.
The attacks were carried out on the garrison Al-Tanf, where 200 US troops are based and located near the border with Jordan. There, US troops train and advise local fighters.
Russia has said the strikes were aimed at preventing a Syrian attack that was preparing to injure and destroy the vehicle.
After some time < span> two Russian Su-35 fighters and one Su-24 flew over Al-Tanf, striking a battle post in the garrison. A previous report of the strike told US officials that the Russian military was pursuing their mission in Syria.
The US military was not at the base during the strikes, so there were no casualties. However, the local official noted that there had been a “significant increase in provocations” this month.
The Russians also dropped two Su-34 fighters in northeastern Syria, where US forces are conducting raids. The goal is to detain the manufacturer of Islamic State bombs. “Fighters have retreated after the United States raised its own F-16 fighters,” said one US military official.
The states note that they are trying to avoid a direct conflict with Russia in Syria. This was confirmed by the head of the US Central Command, Army General Eric Kurila, calling the behavior of the Russians escalating.
