Russia uses Israeli drones in Syria's offensive: source
2016-05-20
[EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Intensive and strange aircraft movement has been ongoing for a month in Hemeimem military airport, the main Russian forces stronghold in Syria, a source said from the coastal city of Jableh.

The source told Zaman al-Wasl that different civil aircraft, military aircraft and drones including Israeli manufactured ones are flying and landing from the airport and do not carry any sign related to their identity. These aircrafts are not the Russian known ones.

Israeli manufactured drones from Searcher type flies and lands continuously in the airport. They were photographed in Jableh. It is likely that Russia has bought these from Israel during the last period, the source confirmed.

#1  There are no signs to verify the identity of these aircrafts although it flies in conjunction with Sukhoi 35 jet fighters before and after Sukkoi flies, the source added.

Which would indicate there is likely no sharing of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Recce (ISR) data in the war on ISIS in Syria between the US and RU. Possibly a 'no kak under the rocking horse' moment, but yet another missed opportunity nonetheless.
