The head of the Pentagon: Russia will soon suffer losses in Syria

Pentagon chief Ashton Carter said that Russia will soon suffer the first losses in Syria. He warned of possible terrorist attacks, including on the territory of Russia.

"Instead of having to take part in the political transition in Syria, what is needed in this long-suffering country, Russia has decided to double its support for Assad. They said they would fight the LIH, "Dzhebhat en Nusra" and other extremist groups, but began to strike the groups that they are not "- said Carter.

"Russia has said one thing and did another, as it often does," - he added.

Because of these actions the civil war only further inflame, Carter said. "We did not agree to cooperate with Russia, while it continues to insist on this mistaken strategy" - said Carter.

Invasion of Russian aircraft in Turkish airspace Carter called "unprofessional actions."
