The necessary codes could have been “borrowed” from the Syrian fighter that had been stolen by its defector pilot.<br /><br />This theory, explaining why the Turkish reconnaissance plane entered Syrian airspace before being taken down, was voiced by Russian newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda, which cited unnamed sources in the Syrian security forces.<br /><br />Syrians believe that the Friday incident has its roots in last week’s defection of a Syrian pilot who escaped in his MiG-21 fighter jet to Jordan. Damascus branded the defector a traitor, while Jordanian authorities gave him asylum.<br /><br />The defection brings memories of a similar incident that took place in February 2011, when <b>two Libyan pilots “delivered” their military aircraft to Malta.</b> NATO’s bombing campaign, which ended with the fall of the Muammar Gaddafi’s government, started just a month after.<br /><br /><b>Military analysts note that, curiously, the Libyan air defense systems appeared to be helpless against NATO’s air strikes. The explanation may lie in the friend-or-foe systems that the two stolen aircraft had onboard, the newspaper suggests.</b> This system is used by the military in combat to distinguish their own aircraft.<br /><br />According to the newspaper, the Syrian military believe that NATO took a similar approach again, but failed to properly decipher the codes. This is evident by the fact that the defector pilot managed to send his family to Turkey before stealing the fighter jet, which means the act was probably not done out of a sudden emotional breakdown</i>felixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12363991252776819712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091580307813686433.post-58801087266514627212012-04-17T21:41:15.229-07:002012-04-17T21:41:15.229-07:00December 23, 2010
