俄羅斯警告美國打敘政府軍要三思而行

The Russian Defense Ministry warned last Thursday that it could shoot down U.S. missiles in Syria if they were used against the Syrian government forces.

俄羅斯國防部於上週四發出警告稱，如果美國發射導彈襲擊敘利亞政府軍，那麼俄羅斯可能會擊落美國導彈。

"One should really be aware that crews of Russian air defense systems are unlikely to have time to clarify via a direct line the accurate flight programs of missiles and who their carriers belong to," the ministry"s spokesman Igor Konashenkov said in a statement.

俄羅斯國防部發言人伊戈爾·科納申科夫在聲明中表示：“人們必須意識到，俄羅斯防空作戰部隊沒有時間判別來襲導彈的確切軌跡和它們載機的身份。”

The U.S. media reported that Washington is considering plans to launch air strikes against the Syrian government army.

據美國媒體報道，華盛頓政府正在考慮對敘利亞政府軍發動空襲的計劃。

Konashenkov said that the Syrian army now have effective Russian-made S-200, Buk and other air defense missile systems, while the Russian forces have deployed in Syria the advanced S-400 and S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems, "the range of which may come as a surprise to any unidentified flying objects."

科納申科夫表示：“敘利亞政府軍現在有高效的俄製S-200防空導彈系統，還有山毛櫸地空導彈和其他防空系統，而俄羅斯也已在敘利亞部署了先進的S-300、S-400防空系統。”

He added that any missile strikes against territories controlled by the Syrian government might present a threat to Russian servicemen working for the Russian Center for Reconciliation in Syria.

他補充說道，任何對敘利亞政府控制的地區的導彈襲擊，都可能會對俄羅斯駐敘利亞和解中心的工作人員構成威脅。

"I would recommend to colleagues in Washington that they carefully calculate possible consequences of such plans," said the spokesman.

這位發言人說道：“我想建議華盛頓的同行，應該想清楚這種計劃可能產生什麼後果。”
