ANTI-kereta kebal peluru berpandu TOW Amerika Syarikat digunakan dalam serangan ke atas wartawan RT di SYRIA . . .

g2 - Anti-kereta kebal sistem peluru berpandu buatan Amerika Syarikat telah digunakan dalam serangan ke atas krew RT di Syria, sebuah badan meningkat terhadap bukti menunjukkan. Wartawan diiktiraf kawasan itu, manakala pakar-pakar mengesahkan bahawa booster ditemui oleh tentera Syria perlawanan TOW yang dilihat dalam video pemberontak.

Sebuah video dgn terus terang bertajuk - 'Golongan Pelancaran TOW pada Wartawan - baru-baru ini yang disiarkan dalam talian dan jelas menunjukkan sekumpulan pemberontak Syria menembak anti-kereta kebal peluru berpandu pelancar buatan Amerika Syarikat. Ketika meninjau video, Roman Kosarev RT, yang merupakan antara sekumpulan wartawan Rusia yang ajaib terselamat serangan dari senjata yang sama pada awal minggu ini, mengiktiraf kawasan dan rantaian peristiwa yang kemudiannya mula terserlah.

"Landskap ini sangat sangat mengingatkan yang apabila kita datang di bawah serangan daripada militan hanya beberapa hari lalu, pada 23 November," kata Kosarev. "Dan sebenarnya anda boleh melihat orang bertempiaran lari pada jarak dan Saya agak pasti ia mesti kami. Dan orang itu berjalan di belakang mestilah saya."

US anti-tank TOW missile used in attack on RT journalists in Syria . . .

A US-made anti-tank missile system was used in an attack on an RT crew in Syria, a mounting body of evidence suggests. Journalists recognized the area, while experts confirmed that a booster found by the Syrian army matches the TOW seen in a rebel video.

A baldly titled video – ‘Jihadists Launch TOW at Journalists’ – was recently posted online and clearly shows a group of Syrian rebels firing a US-made anti-tank missile launcher. Upon reviewing the video, RT’s Roman Kosarev, who was among the group of Russian journalists which miraculously survived an attack from a similar weapon earlier this week, recognized the area and the chain of events which subsequently unfolded.

“The landscape is very very reminiscent of the one when we came under fire from militants just a few days ago, on November 23,” Kosarev said. “And actually you can see people running for cover at a distance and I'm pretty sure it must have been us. And that person running in the back must be me.”

Tidak ada keraguan bahawa pemberontak dalam video itu yang mana telah menembak BGM-71 TOW buatan Amerika Syarikat, bukan apa yang terselindung dibekalkan oleh Washington kepada pembangkang Syria sederhana yang dipanggil, Kosarev menegaskan, dengan keselamatan dan senjata pakar corroborating kenyataannya.

There is no doubt that rebels in the video had been firing a US-made BGM-71 TOW, not so-covertly supplied by Washington to the so-called moderate Syrian opposition, Kosarev insisted, with security and arms experts corroborating his statements.

Sejurus selepas serangan ke atas krew Rusia, tentera Syria melanda kawasan itu dan mendapati booster pelancaran dari roket yang melanda konvoi media. Pakar bersetuju bahawa ia adalah "sangat tidak mungkin" yang booster, yang mempunyai tanda-tanda yang tersendiri, mungkin milik apa-apa jenis senjata, tetapi sistem yang berkenaan.

Immediately after the attack on the Russian crew, the Syrian army swept the area and found a launch booster from the rocket that hit the media convoy. Experts agreed that it was “highly unlikely” that the booster, featuring distinctive markings, might belong to any other kind of weapon, but the system in question.

BGM-71 TOW (Tube-launched, Optically tracked, Wire-guided) adalah salah satu daripada peluru berpandu yang paling banyak digunakan anti-kereta kebal berpandu, yang telah dihasilkan di Amerika Syarikat sejak tahun 1970-an. Peluru berpandu mempunyai pelbagai operasi sehingga 4,200 meter dan penembusan perisai antara 600 dan 800 milimeter bergantung kepada model. Beratus-ratus sistem telah jatuh ke tangan pelbagai puak pemberontak sepanjang tahun-tahun konflik Syria.

The BGM-71 TOW (Tube-launched, Optically tracked, Wire-guided) is one of the most widely used anti-tank guided missiles, which has been produced in the US since the 1970s. The missile has an operational range of up to 4,200 meters and an armor penetration of between 600 and 800 millimeters depending on the model. Hundreds of the systems have fallen into the hands of various rebel factions over the years of the Syrian conflict.

"Ia adalah jelas satu sistem senjata Amerika. Ia adalah konsisten, huruf itu, dengan sistem TOW itu, "penganalisis keselamatan dan bekas memerangi keganasan pegawai perisikan Charles Shoebridge memberitahu RT selepas mengkaji bukti gambar dan video. "Dan sesungguhnya telah secara terbuka dibekalkan oleh Amerika Syarikat dan sesungguhnya oleh sekutu Amerika Syarikat di rantau ini, terutamanya Arab Saudi ke kumpulan pemberontak. Jadi baginya ia tidak akan sama sekali mengejutkan untuk mencari sistem senjata ini di tangan kumpulan pemberontak dan digunakan oleh mereka."

"Mungkin terutamanya pada tahun lepas konsainmen sangat besar senjata-senjata ini dalam beribu-ribu telah dihantar ke Arab Saudi oleh Amerika Syarikat sebagai sebahagian daripada bekalan senjata," tambah Shoebridge.

"Dan sudah tentu Arab Saudi telah di barisan hadapan membekalkan kumpulan pemberontak Syria, termasuk dengan apa yang di Barat perlu benar-benar dipanggil pemberontak pelampau, dengan senjata-senjata yang sangat canggih dan sudah tentu berkuasa."

Semua serpihan berasingan maklumat selaras dengan versi yang pemberontak Syria menggunakan sistem senjata buatan Amerika Syarikat terhadap wartawan RT, berkata Shoebridge. Bagaimanapun, beliau mengakui bahawa daripada "perspektif keterangan" ia adalah sukar untuk mengikat mereka semua bersama-sama.

Selain itu, model yang sama TOW telah digunakan oleh pemberontak untuk memusnahkan helikopter Rusia mendalam terlibat dalam operasi menyelamat Su-24, menurut video yang bocor awal minggu ini, seorang penganalisis dasar keselamatan kanan bekas di pejabat Setiausaha Negara Amerika Pertahanan Michael Maloof kepada RT. The tripods yang sistem ini dipasang di dalam kedua-dua video yang membolehkan tahap yang tinggi mobiliti, "terutama apabila anda sedang bersembunyi di persekitaran serangan hendap," Maloof berkata.

"TOWS telah pergi ke Syria untuk apa yang dikenali sebagai kumpulan sederhana, pejuang Sunni benar-benar, sejak Rusia sebenarnya bermula pengeboman. Oleh itu, jumlah TOWS akan di sana sebenarnya telah meningkat. Dan Arab Saudi sudah tentu bayar banyak yang itu, "tambah Maloof.

"Dalam kes Syria [TOWS] telah dibekalkan secara rahsia di bawah operasi CIA melalui Turki ke pelbagai pejuang bahawa mereka telah dikenal pasti sebagai sederhana," tambah Maloof. "Tetapi golongan sederhana ini secara umumnya dengan Tentera Pembebasan Syria, dan kebanyakan daripada mereka telah pergi untuk bergabung dengan pejuang Islam sama ada Al-Nusra atau Daesh [ISIS]."

Selepas pemberontak Syria, nampaknya dari FSA, telah ditangkap menembak peluru berpandu anti-kereta kebal pada helikopter Rusia, wartawan RT Gayane Chichakyan bertanya seorang jurucakap Jabatan Negara Amerika Syarikat sama ada ia adalah jenis tindakan Washington menjangka daripada "pemberontak sederhana 'berkuat kuasa.

Memetik "persekitaran kompleks" dan maklumat sukar didapati beliau mempunyai kira-kira menembak jatuh Su-24 Rusia dengan kekerasan udara Turki dan misi menyelamat juruterbang berikutnya, di mana helikopter datang di bawah serangan, Mark Toner mengelakkan soalan dan enggan mengutuk tindakan pemberontak' .

"Maksud saya, pertama sekali, kami telah dibekalkan sebahagian daripada tentera Syria yang berjuang ISIL di utara Syria. Kami telah berbincang tentang perkara itu sebelum ini. Tetapi terus-terang ada banyak cara anda boleh mendapatkan - Maksud saya, kami juga telah menyediakan peralatan dan senjata kepada tentera Iraq juga, "Toner berkata pada hari Selasa,

"Jadi saya tidak boleh bercakap dengan kejadian tertentu," Toner berkata, bukan mengambil jalan keluar dengan tuduhan samar-samar bahawa serangan udara Rusia "dalam banyak kes ditujukan pihak pembangkang sederhana Syria," yang menurut Washington membuat keadaan di atas tanah "lebih kompleks."

“It is clearly an American weapon system. It is consistent, that lettering, with the TOW system,” security analyst and former counter-terrorism intelligence officer Charles Shoebridge told RT upon reviewing the photo and video evidence. “And indeed it has been openly supplied by the US and indeed by US allies in the region, particularly Saudi Arabia to rebel groups. So therefor it would not at all be surprising to find this weapon system in the hands of the rebel groups and being used by them.”

“Perhaps notably last year a very large consignment of these weapons in the thousands were shipped to Saudi Arabia by the US as part of the arms supply,” Shoebridge added.

“And of course Saudi Arabia has been in the forefront supplying Syrian rebel groups, including to what in the West should really be called extremist rebels groups, with these fairly sophisticated and certainly powerful weapons.”

All the separate pieces of information are consistent with the version that Syrian rebels used a US-made weapons system against RT journalists, Shoebridge said. However, he admitted that from an “evidential perspective” it is hard to tie them all together.

Moreover, the same model of TOW was used by the rebels to destroy a grounded Russian helicopter involved in the Su-24 rescue operation, according to a video leaked earlier this week, a former senior security policy analyst in the office of the US Secretary of Defense Michael Maloof told RT. The tripods that the system was mounted on in on both of the videos allow a high degree of mobility, “especially when you are hiding in an ambush environment,” Maloof pointed out.

“TOWs have gone into Syria to so-called moderate groups, Sunni fighters really, ever since Russia actually began bombing. So the amounts of TOWs going in there has actually increased. And the Saudis of course are paying for a lot of it,” Maloof added.

“In the case of Syria [TOWs] have been supplied clandestinely under CIA operation through Turkey to various fighters that they have identified as being moderate,” Maloof added. “But these moderates are generally with the Free Syrian Army, and most of them have gone to join the Islamic fighters of either Al-Nusra or Daesh [ISIS].”

After Syrian rebels, apparently from the FSA, had been caught firing an anti-tank missile at a Russian helicopter, RT’s correspondent Gayane Chichakyan asked a US State Department spokesperson whether it was kind of action Washington expects from a “moderate rebel” force.

Citing a “complex environment” and scarce information he had about the downing of Russian Su-24 by the Turkish air force and subsequent pilot rescue mission, in which the helicopter came under fire, Mark Toner dodged the question and refused to condemn rebels’ actions.

“I mean, first of all, we have supplied some of the Syrian forces that are fighting ISIL in northern Syria. We’ve talked about that before. But there’s frankly many ways you can get – I mean, we’ve also been providing equipment and weaponry to Iraqi military as well,” Toner said on Tuesday,

“So I can’t speak to the specific incident,” Toner added, instead resorting to vague accusations that Russian airstrikes “in many cases are directed at moderate Syrian opposition forces,” which according to Washington is making situation on the ground “even more complex.”

Jabatan Negara masih belum mengulas mengenai penggunaan nyata pemberontak 'daripada TOW terhadap wartawan Rusia.

Secara keseluruhannya, konvoi media diserang termasuk 17 orang, semua memakai jaket jelas menandakan mereka sebagai akhbar. Konvoi itu disasarkan sengaja, wartawan berkata, kerana mereka telah menerima ancaman bunuh daripada kumpulan pengganas tempatan.

Saluran wartawan RT English Roman Kosarev, beliau rakan sekerja RT Arab, Sargon Hadaya, dan wartawan TASS Alexander Yelistratov yang semua cedera dalam serangan itu selamat tiba di Moscow pada Khamis.

The State Department is yet to comment on the rebels’ apparent use of TOW against Russian journalists.

Overall, the attacked media convoy included 17 people, all wearing jackets clearly marking them out as press. The convoy was targeted deliberately, journalists said, as they had been receiving death threats from local terrorist groups.
