The strike of the coalition led by the US on the allies of Syrian President Bashar Assad - the element of the game in a long.

This opinion was expressed in the commentary to the "Observer" by Igor Semivolos, Director of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies.

"It looks like an attempt to keep the situation on its toes. There are no obvious effective ideas that could be the basis for a peaceful settlement and were supported by all parties. But with the help of periodic strikes, one can maintain the feeling that without active participation of the United States in the fate of this region, there will be no progress.

In fact, the issue is open, and the fate of Assad has not yet been resolved. There are no mnogohodovok and conspiracy theories here. This game is a long one, "Semivolos noted..

According to him, with the help of such steps, the US is trying to build a long-term strategy.

As reported by "Observer", Russia transferred to Syria a long-range radar detection and control (DRLOiU) A-50, which will allow it to control the country's airspace.
