Regardless
of all the western rhetoric voiced publicly on the “inaccuracy”
of the Russian air strikes in Syria, a confidential NATO analytical
report on the issue has admitted Russia’s superiority over the
Alliance’s forces and has praised Moscow for the “accuracy and
efficiency” of its air strikes.
The Russian
Air Force has been repeatedly denounced for “killing civilians”
in Syria, recounts the German magazine Focus Online. Ironically
however, NATO praises Russia for the “accuracy and efficiency” in
the country, the outlet adds, citing a confidential report written by
the Alliance, which Focus Online has apparently got hold of.
The analysis
also points to the high level of professionalism of the Russian
military, adding that the impact of the air strikes performed by
Russian pilots is a lot higher than that of the Alliance.
The secret
document apparently states that 40 Russian combat aircraft stationed
at the Russian base in Latakia perform up to 75 sorties daily, each
time delivering “accurate and efficient” air strikes, while NATO
forces, which have 180 combat jets are able to hit only 20 targets
per day.
The paper
also says that Russia is using more advanced combat aircraft in
Syria. For example, the SU-35 fighter, which according to the
estimates of western experts, is far superior to its western
analogues.
In addition,
Moscow also uses data provided by Syrian aerial intelligence, plus
Russian Special Forces regularly provide information of the
strategically important objects on the ground to the Russian Air
Forces.
