Hopefully this is a temporary suspension.

>>34311213
Because whats the point of having an air force if you suspend flights when some meanie says they might do something bad

Sell all the Hornets and buy fucking Cessnas if you're going to throw in the towel at the first sign of trouble

We're having a pissing contest right now.

Because Obama was so limp wristed on international policy. Putin has to see where he stands with Trump.

One side overdid it, other side overreacted, Russians proposed a clear separation of air zones without "Get out of Syrian airspace right now, you cocksuckers" rhetoric. West of Euphrates is Syrian&Russian airspace, East of Euphrates is American. Americans are still in Syrian airspace, Americans still can bomb Rakka and Americans still can support "their" terrorist groups. And it's not like Russians closed airspace completely, they told about "targeting", so, you can fly, but be ready for consequences if you do something stupid. Don't think that recon flights will stop because of that.

>>34312051
What's so important about the Euphrates that the government has fortified it so heavily?

>>34312103
your an idiot, that's the divider between the airspaces.

>>34311280

Not OP, you're truly a dumbass if you can't see what's wrong. Kys faggot.

>>34311284

Fucking mongoloid.

>>34311284
>Syrian Airforce had the audacity of flying and running sorties in their own airspace
Wow, yup, Russia definitely shouldn't take their side on this one.

>>34312144
Perhaps the dolt who made the divider should have used a color other than the ones already utilized on the map.

Jesus Christ, why are Australians such cowardly bitch niggas?

The 'Strayans are in Syria purely to say that they are doing "something" against radical Islam, to their constituents.

They are part of the 5 eyes and also concerned about China somewhat, but in all othee regards they are pretty neutral isolationists.

If you know anything about international relations, you CANNOT hold the Aussies to the same standard as a NATO ally. At most they'll be half as involved as Canada.

>>34313172
Yes, they've proven that they'll fold in the face of a threat. Good thing to do when China is aggressively expanding in your backyard lmao

>>34312640
One can only wonder what |||you||| ment by this.

>>34311191
Wow, Australian's have started shitposting IRL now as well..

>>34313187
No, they're deciding to stick to their original mission, which is striking IS targets, not get involved with US-Russia rhetoric.

>>34313187
>boo hoo muh cowards

Comparing Australian resolve to a conflict they literally have no reason to be a part of in all honesty, to a potentially existiential threat from China is next-level retarded.

If you're looking for Australian committment, look at Australian involvement in East Timor.

Unlike the US, the Aussies dont have a blank-check for a military budget nor the willingness to get involved in protracted conflicts outside of their sphere of influence. (Neither does China btw)

Dont get me wrong, its hard to defend the guile of a nation which lost to flightless birds, but Syria is not such a case.
The Aussies have opted for neutrality regarding Russia since the end of the Cold War, including considering SU-30s in the mid 2000s for procurement.

Russia and Australia have no quarrel with each other and it'd be retarded to try and push that status quo.

>>34311191
The are F18 A's they are a liability

>>34313314
This. The entire Aussie mission in Syria from the beginning has been "Hey, how can we fight terrorism, but not really" tier. They're there for "muh feelz" and remaining relevant to the commonwealth, nnothing more.

As such, getting involved in ((((((US))))))-Russian shitposting is counter-productive

>>34313365
>Russia and Australia have no quarrel with each other and it'd be retarded to try and push that status quo.
This. It is fucking annoying that the RAAF won't even tell us what they're doing in Syria, though.

>>34313074
they're also opposing Assad

>>34312103

If the Kurds/Americans cut off the SAA advance towards Iraq, the US can establish a proxy buffer zone between Syria and Iraq, for post-war meddling.

The way its looking now, the SAA is going to beat the Kurds/US to Iraq, meaning that the grand strategy of the US will have failed. Not only that, but then the SAA will have more incentive to kick the SDF/kurds back to Turkey.

>>34313365
>>34313449

So don't get fucking involved in the first place

Going in then pulling out looks 10 times worse than never going

>if you think about the impacts of your actions you are a pussy
Australia has decided that the costs of flying over hostile air defences in Syria would exceed the benefits of bombing ISIS. Once benefits exceed costs again, whether financial or military, flights would resume, but benefits for Australia were already pretty damn meager.

>>34314051
m8, Aussies are weaklings and easily intimidated. No amount of roundabout explanations hide this. China has revealed this before many times, not just Russia.

It's alright though,as we (bongs) and the French were scared out of the Suez by Russian threats once, so you're not alone.

That's bad history. You could have stayed if the US didn't vote against it in UNSC. The US ceded all interest in the matter, taking the side of the Russians. Ike believed, erroneously, that being magnanimous to Nasser would draw Egypt into Western alignment. Instead, Nasser viewed US abandonment as weakness, and proceeded to invest even more heavily into the Soviets.

Eisenhower admitted later that screwing US allies in Suez was a mistake.

We are tied with them for economic power according to Wikipedia. But more importantly we aren't nuclear armed, so its less Australia threatening Russia and more Russia Threatening Australia.

>>34319644
Towards the end of WW2, Australia had the world's 4th largest air force.

By 2023 it'll also be the world's most modernised (but obviously not the largest) with zero legacy fighters, just F-35s, Super Hornets, Growlers, P-8s, MQ-4Cs, E-7As, etc.

>>34311191
As an Aussie I'm pretty upset about this DESU.

I love our FA18s and my hard earned tax dollars pay for those beautiful bitches to bombs those fucking sand monkeys.

Our Prime Minister is a fucking cuck bitch.

>>34313172
Fuck the fuck off cunt.

Are you telling me that the USAs single greatest ally is not as good as a NATO Ally?

We have been with you guys in EVERY SINGLE WAR since ww1 fighting with and next to you lot.

The USA can literally count on no one more than us cunts, you guys say we are going to a fight and we jump right on in.

Sure we might not have the same punch as say Germany or France but those cucks bitches hardly ever help and right now are less likely than ever to get involved in anything USA related.

But if ww3 broke out between USA/Russia or USA/China you bet you cunt slung asses we will be right there dying along side you.

Remember Nam? The only other people that did anything of use?

It wasn't a matter of bugging out, it's like if you're at a bar and someone screams about a guy fucking his wife and then points at the guy behind you. The smart thing to do in that scenario is take a step to the side so that you're not the first one to get punched in the face.

If shit did hit the fan in Syria, RAAF fighters would only be 10 minutes away, operating over Mosul, etc anyway, ready to back up US, etc forces in 'collective self defence'.
