The United States is committing gross violations of deconfliction protocols and the bilateral Russian-American memorandum on flight safety in Syria. This was stated by the deputy head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of the Warring Parties (CPVS) in Syria, Rear Admiral Oleg Gurinov.

One example is the cases of targeting combat aircraft weapons systems on aircraft of the Russia Aerospace Forces. The corresponding precedents are recorded by the pilots of theRussian Aerospace Forces during scheduled flights.
