U.S.-Russian escalation as Syrian SU-22 military jet downed

By Jordi Bou

June 20, 2017 - Australia has temporarily suspended air operations over Syria following Russia’s threat to target coalition aircraft flying west of the Euphrates after a U.S. fighter jet downed a Syrian military plane. The action was the first time the U.S.-led coalition has shot down a Syrian jet since the war erupted in 2011, and it comes after several recent incidents in which the U.S. has targeted regime forces and their allies in eastern Syria.
