The United States fears a strike on its troops in Syria by Russian electronic warfare systems.
Michael Kurilla, Chief of Staff of the US Central Command, said that Russia plans to use its electronic warfare weapons against US troops in Syria. This can lead to extremely undesirable consequences, especially considering that American military helicopters, fighter jets and attack drones can constantly be seen over the Arab Republic. According to Michael Kurill, the consequences of the use of electronic warfare systems by Russia can be very serious, as this will undermine the security of American forces and units.
“Kurilla said that any move in Ukraine could provoke action in Syria, where Russia is acting in support of President Bashar al-Assad and hindering the spread of democracy. “I believe that if Russia invades Ukraine, they will not hesitate to act as our adversaries in Syria as well,” he said, before referring to Russian electronic warfare activity. “We already view Russian EW assets as one of the most problematic environments we have ever encountered.”, - according to the newspaper "Daily Mail".
Why exactly Kurilla connected Syria and Ukraine is unknown, however, given the previously published data from both Russian and foreign media, the Russian side is actively using its electronic countermeasures against the United States in Syria, however, this only happens when Washington goes to provocations and escalation of the situation in the Arab Republic, which can be equated with such steps as a way to ensure security.
