The U.S. Department of Defense has released Footage from a July 23rd Incident over Syria that shows a Su-35S of the Russian Air Force conducting an Interception of an American MQ-9 “Reaper” Drone . .
According to the DoD, the drone was on "an anti-ISIS mission." (HT Remark: You know, ISIS, that hasn't been seen or heard from in years . . . .)
The Incident comes roughly a week after a U.S. Air Force F-16 had reportedly “Locked-Onto” a Russian Military Aircraft with its Weapons-Guidance Systems while the Aircraft was operating near the Iraqi-Syrian Border. (Story Here)
Syria has told the US to leave the country, and been refused.
Now that Russia has begun intercepting US Drones over Syria, the US has moved F-22 "Raptor" fighter jets into the US Central Command (CENTCOM) Area of Responsibility; presumably to deal with the Russian aircraft.
Trouble is, if the US tries to "deal with" those Russian aircraft, Russia will then likely "deal with" the US in reply.
Real trouble is brewing. In multiple locations and in multiple ways.
HELP NEEDED!
At the end of each calendar month, this site reaches out to Readers and Listeners like YOU to keep the lights on. Carried to almost 100 countries around the world by Global, High-Frequency Shortwave Radio Stations WBCQ, WRMI, and WWCR, it is an expensive proposition to do this show five nights a week.
In addition to radio air time costs, there are six inbound telephone lines for folks to call-in and get on the air to tell the world what they think. There is software licensing fees, pre-show music fees, Studio Fiber Optic Connections at the Metro New York City location with Cellular back-up. At the "Bug-Out" location in Pennsylvania, all that has to be duplicated, but without Fiber Optics. So in PA, there's a Cable modem as the primary feed distribution, cellular back-up, and TWO satellite Uplinks, along with battery back-ups and generator in case the rural electric goes down.
All this costs money to have, to operate, and to maintain.
THIS WEB SITE is also expensive, with monthly data transfer charges and hosting fees by Amazon Web Services, between about $2500 and $4600 per month, depending on how many of you come here to read stories.
You see, this is a cloud-based site. It may be free for YOU to come read, but it is not free for ME; I have to pay for the data transfer to YOUR web browsers! And the online streaming audio is a BIG data transfer every night. You listen, I pay.
