NATO quietly released a secret report praising Russia's strength in Syria

While the West often criticizes Russia's airstrikes in Syria as "inaccurate" and causing damage to civilians, an analytical report by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) acknowledges Russia's superiority over other armies in the bloc.

At the same time, NATO also praised Moscow for the "precision and effectiveness" of its air strikes.

Sputnik News reported the information on March 5, citing a secret NATO report that was obtained by the Focus Online news site.

Estimates in the report also suggest that the effectiveness of airstrikes carried out by the Russian air force is greater than that of NATO forces.

The report pointed out the very high level of professionalism of the Russian military, adding that airstrikes carried out by Russian pilots had a much greater impact than those carried out by NATO air forces.

The report also noted that the number of combat aircraft deployed by Russia in Syria is “clearly inferior in terms of numbers” to those deployed by NATO. However, Russia’s greater number of air strikes makes their operations more effective.

The secret document said that 40 Russian fighter jets based at the Latakia base carried out up to 75 sorties per day, each time carrying out "precise and effective" airstrikes. Meanwhile, NATO forces, despite having up to 18 fighter jets, carried out only 20 airstrikes per day.

The report also pointed out that Russia uses more modern fighter aircraft than NATO in Syria. For example, the Su-35 fighter jet is much more modern than other aircraft in its class.

In addition, Moscow also uses data sent by Syrian air intelligence and Russian special forces to provide information about strategically important ground targets to the Russian Air Force./.
