DISINFO: US allegedly helped terrorists destroy Russian planes

SUMMARY

During the drone attacks against Russia’s Syrian bases (6 January) a P-8 Boeing Poseidon aircraft of the USAF supported the terrorists’ action. Islamists have received help from a “technologically advanced” country, the Russian defense ministry says.

RESPONSE

According to the US, no P-8 aircraft was in the area at the time, and - in fact - not a single one has flown over the area for a long period of time. edition.cnn.com/2018/01/09/politics/russia-us-attack-base-syria/index.html,
