If you think for a second than 2x A-10 made in the seventies ,that are non stealth ,
and very slow moving targets ,could evade Russia airdefenses you are seriously mistaken.
As i told before Russia/Syria rules of engagement allows US airforce to fly for the moment over Syria. but not all parts. If US Airforce start a full scale war against Syrian positions it will be the end of the courtesy and Syria will start shutting down american planes.
Is not an agreement Russia or Syria likes but they forced to take ,
until they get control
of all Syria and liberate its cities. Once Syrian army take controls of all its borders and most of its territory it can focus in defending every inch of its airspace form any illegal fly from NATO on its territory.It will be impossible for americans to fly anywhere ,or justify any operation too if ISIS routed from Syria.
By the way Saudi Arabia don't have an army.. it mostly mercenaries.. (like ISIS) what they have. With Pentagon providing them logistics. A Saudi Open Invasion is very unlikely ,IS not going to work ,because they cannot remove the Russian Airforce from Syria that can bomb their positions. If Saudis do that it will be the most ridiculous move. Probably what they seeking to do
is supply with weapons their terrorist. Rush with many tanks and use as cover civilians populated zones. Still it will be embarrasing. What could really Turkey-Saudi can do,without
starting a full scale war against Russia. is what they doing now. Use their artillery across border.
but also send hundreds of thousands reinforcement from Turkey army to help their Alqaeda buddies. But they still will be a target of Russian airforce bombing. So pretty much is all about
who dominates more the Syrian airspace.
