Russia Vows To Attack U.S., Allied Planes After U.S. Downs Syrian Jet

Accusing the United States of illegal military aggression in shooting down a Syrian jet Sunday, Russia vowed Monday to shoot down any aircraft of the U.S.-led coalition fighting in Syria that stray into what Russia established as a no-fly zone.

“All flying objects, including planes and drones of the international coalition, detected west of the Euphrates, will be followed by Russian air defense systems as targets,” the Russian defense ministry said in a statement.

Planes and drones “will be tracked by the Russian ground and air anti-aircraft defense systems as air targets in the areas where Russian aviation is on combat missions in the Syrian sky,” the statement added.
