Israeli and Jordanian Jets Confronted Russian Warplanes on Syrian Border, King Says
http://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/1.710905 …

The Russians were shocked and understood they could not mess with us,' says Jordanian King Abdullah, adds that Jordan 'spoke on behalf of Israel' with Russia.

Israeli and Jordanian fighter planes jointly confronted Russian air force jets over the southern Syrian border, according to a briefing by Jordan's King Abdullah to senior members of the United States Congress.

The date of the confrontation was not disclosed during Abdullah's meeting in Washington on January 11. The incident was reported by Middle East Eye, who said it had seen an account of the meeting.

According to the report, the Russian planes were on a mission to survey Israeli defenses on the Syrian border. "We saw the Russians fly down, but they were met with Israeli and Jordanian F-16s, both together in Israeli and Jordanian airspace," Abdullah said.

Yup, thought it's something of that kind.

Namely, unless there's a flag to be seen, everything is related to 'local notables', i.e. civilians: 'if Assadists and Russians can wave flags', say, 'Central Division or another of local units can do so too'.

'Men wearing uniforms' means not much. It's like at the times of the US Revolution or the Civil War: most of people are too poor to get anything else to wear.
