JamaliahYusofYacob - China berjaya melaksanakan ujian penerbangan kelajuan tinggi muslihat kepala peledak ‘state-of-the-art’ minggu lalu, sumber-sumber dalam Pentagon berkata. percubaan itu berlaku hanya beberapa hari selepas glider hipersonik dilaporkan diuji oleh Rusia.

DF-ZF kenderaan meluncur hipersonik adalah pelancaran pada hari Jumaat oleh peluru berpandu balistik yang dilancarkan dari tapak Wuzhai di tengah China, pegawai-pegawai tentera yang tidak dinamakan Amerika Syarikat kepada laman web ‘Washington Free Beacon website’.

Muslihat glider telah dikesan oleh satelit Amerika kerana ia bergerak pada kelajuan beberapa ribu kilometer sejam sepanjang pinggir suasana ke arah kawasan kesan di barat negara ini, kata sumber.

Ia adalah percubaan udara kenderaan meluncur Cina yang ke-7, dengan 6 ujian sebelumnya yang dijalankan pada tahun 2014 dan 2015 juga telah berjaya.

China successfully tests nuclear-capable hypersonic missile - Pentagon sources

China successfully carried out a flight test of its state-of-the-art high-speed maneuvering warhead last week, sources in the Pentagon said. The trial took place just days after a hypersonic glider was reportedly tested by Russia.

The DF-ZF hypersonic glide vehicle was launch on Friday by a ballistic missile fired from the Wuzhai site in central China, unnamed US military officials told the Washington Free Beacon website.

The maneuvering glider was tracked by American satellites as it was traveling at the speed of several thousand kilometers per hour along the edge of the atmosphere towards an impact area in the west of the country, the sources said.

It was the seventh air trial of the Chinese glide vehicle, with six previous tests conducted in 2014 and 2015 also having been successful.

Menurut ‘Washington Free Beacon’, kebimbangan perisikan Amerika Syarikat bahawa Beijing boleh menggunakan DF-ZF (dahulunya diberi nama kod WU-14 oleh Pentagon), mampu mencapai kelajuan lebih 11,000 kilometer sejam, untuk menghantar senjata nuklear memintas peluru berpandu sistem pertahanan yang paling kompleks.

Buaian juga boleh menjadi sebahagian daripada senjata serangan strategik konvensional yang membolehkan China untuk memukul sasaran mana-mana sahaja di DUNIA dalam masa hanya satu jam.

Kenderaan Glide terangkat ke atmosfera atas tinggi oleh peluru berpandu balistik dan kemudian meluncur pada kelajuan 5 kali lebih cepat daripada kelajuan bunyi.

Jurucakap Pentagon, Komander. Rang Undang-Undang Bandar, enggan mengulas mengenai ujian segar peledak muslihat China, tetapi menegaskan bahawa tentera Amerika Syarikat "yang berhati-hati memantau pemodenan tentera China."

Pengerusi Dewan Angkatan Bersenjata Jawatankuasa Kecil Seapower, Randy Forbes, memberitahu Washington Percuma Beacon bahawa dia bimbang dengan ujian Cina.

According to the Washington Free Beacon, US intelligence fears that Beijing may use DF-ZF (formerly codenamed WU-14 by the Pentagon), capable of reaching speeds of over 11,000 kilometers per hour, to deliver nuclear weapons bypassing even the most complex of missile defense systems.

The glider could also become a part of a conventional strategic strike weapon that would enable China to hit targets anywhere in the world within just an hour.

Glide vehicles are lifted to the high upper atmosphere by ballistic missiles and then glide at speeds five times faster than the speed of sound.

Pentagon spokesman, Cmdr. Bill Urban, declined to comment on the fresh Chinese maneuvering warhead test, but stressed that the US military “do monitor Chinese military modernization carefully.”

Chairman of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Seapower, Randy Forbes, told the Washington Free Beacon that he’s worried by the Chinese tests.

"Ujian berulang China kenderaan meluncur hipersonik menunjukkan Beijing komited untuk rampasan ketenteraan konvensional dan keseimbangan nuklear, dengan implikasi kubur untuk kestabilan Asia," kata Forbes.

Pada 22 April, Russian Strategik Missile Angkatan dijalankan pelancaran yang antara benua peluru berpandu balistik (ICBM), menguji peluru berpandu pelayaran hipersonik.

Satu sumber Interfax berkata pelancaran itu dari tempat pelancaran peluru berpandu di Wilayah Orenburg di sempadan dengan Kazakhstan adalah satu kejayaan.

Kementerian Pertahanan Rusia enggan mengulas mengenai laporan mengenai apa yang dipercayai menjadi ujian glider hipersonik yang ke-2 Moscow.

Pada pertengahan April, pengarah Agensi Pertahanan Peluru Berpandu Pentagon, James Syring, memberitahu Senat Amerika Syarikat bahawa kedua-dua negara, nama-nama yang dia tidak mendedahkan, menimbulkan ancaman peluru berpandu hipersonik yang semakin meningkat.

Walau bagaimanapun, ‘Washington Free Beacon’ memberi amaran bahawa Pentagon "melakukan sedikit untuk berurusan dengan ancaman peluru berpandu hipersonik yang baru muncul."

“China’s repeated test of a hypersonic glide vehicle demonstrates Beijing is committed to upending both the conventional military and nuclear balance, with grave implications for the stability of Asia,”Forbes said.

On April 22, Russian Strategic Missile Forces conducted an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launch, testing a hypersonic cruise missile.

An Interfax source said that the launch from a missile deployment area in the Orenburg Region on the border with Kazakhstan was a success.

The Russian Defense Ministry declined to comment on reports about what is believed to be Moscow’s second hypersonic glider test.

In mid-April, the director of the Pentagon’s Missile Defense Agency, James Syring, told the US Senate that two countries, the names of which he didn’t reveal, pose a growing hypersonic missile threat.

However, the Washington Free Beacon warns that the Pentagon “is doing little to deal with the emerging hypersonic missile threat.”

The Missile Defense Agency has not funded any direct programs to counter hypersonic arms in its 2017 fiscal budget of $7.5 billion.

This year, it asked for funds to work on a low-powered laser to target hypersonic missiles, but its tests will only start in 2021 when China’s DF-ZF will likely already be in service, the website stressed.

JENAMA baru Cosmodrome Rusia melancarkan roket pertama KALI . . .

 

JamaliahYusofYacob - Rusia Vostochny Cosmodrome baru telah menjalankan pelancaran ruang pertamanya pada Khamis. Sebuah roket Soyuz dirangsang 3 satelit tontonan saintifik dan jarak ke dalam orbit.

Daya angkat-keluarberlangsung di 05:01 Moscow masa (02:01 GMT) dan beberapa 8 minit 44 saat ke dalam penerbangan Volga peringkat atas membawa 3 satelit berjaya dipisahkan daripada roket Soyuz.

Semua 3 satelit dilancarkan pada roket Soyuz yang telah berjaya dihantar ke orbit tertentu mereka. nanosatellite Experimental Samsat-218 dicabut dari muatan Volga membantu modul di 07:07 Msocow masa (04:07 GMT). 10 minit kemudian 2 satelit muatan utama, Lomonosov dan Aist-l, juga mencapai destinasi mereka.

Russia’s brand new cosmodrome launches 

first-ever rocket . . .

Russia’s new Vostochny Cosmodrome has conducted its first space launch on Thursday. A Soyuz rocket boosted three scientific and distance viewing satellites into orbit.

The lift-off took place at 5:01am Moscow time (2:01am GMT) and some 8 minutes 44 seconds into the flight the Volga upper stage carrying three satellites successfully separated from the Soyuz rocket.

All three satellites launched on the Soyuz rocket have been successfully deployed to their specified orbits. Experimental nanosatellite SamSat-218 disconnected from the Volga payload assist module at 07:07am Msocow time (04:07 GMT). Ten seconds later two main payload satellites, Lomonosov and Aist-l, also reached their destinations.

 

Pelancaran pada hari Khamis diperhatikan oleh Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin, yang membuat keputusan untuk tinggal selama 1 hari untuk sendiri mengambil bahagian dalam acara itu.

"Saya ingin mengucapkan tahniah kepada anda. Ada banyak yang boleh dibanggakan, "Putin memberitahu kakitangan Roscosmos berikutan pelancaran yang berjaya. "Pelancaran itu boleh secara teknikal telah berlaku semalam, tetapi perkakasan reaksi berlebihan dan ia telah digugurkan. Tetapi itu adalah satu kejadian normal. "

"Paling penting, kompleks pelancaran anda maju beroperasi, berfungsi dengan baik," kata presiden. "Ada banyak kerja sehingga ke hadapan, tetapi ini adalah pasti yang sangat serius, langkah penting dalam pembangunan Kosmonautik Rusia."

Pelancaran bersejarah datang hari di belakang jadual. Pertama dirancang untuk hari ini, ia telah digugurkan pada saat akhir apabila sistem keselamatan automatik mengesan isyarat gagal dalam satu sensor mereka.

"Pelancaran pertama dari pad baru adalah satu peristiwa penting dan sensitif. Perkara seperti ini berlaku. Kami akan bekerja keluar, "ketua ruang agensi Federation Roscosmos, Igor Komarov, berkata dalam komen pada halangan itu.

The launch on Thursday was observed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who decided to stay for an extra day to personally take part in the event.

“I want to congratulate you. There’s a lot to be proud of,” Putin told Roscosmos staff following the successful launch. “The launch could technically have taken place yesterday, but the hardware overreacted and it was aborted. But that’s a normal occurrence.”

“Most importantly, the launch complex you developed is operating, functioning well,” the president added. “There’s a lot of work up ahead, but this was certainly a very serious, significant step in the development of Russian cosmonautics.”

The historic launch came a day behind schedule. First planned for Wednesday, it was aborted at the last minute when automatic safety systems detected a fail signal in one of their sensors.

“The first launch from a new pad is an important and sensitive event. Things like this happen. We will work it out,” the head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, Igor Komarov, said in comments on the hitch.

Naib Perdana Menteri Dmitry Rogozin - sesuatu yang 'ruang tsar' dalam kerajaan Rusia - juga menyaksikan pelancaran itu di laman ini, dan disertai oleh ketua Tentera angkasa Rusia, Leftenan Jeneral Aleksandr Golovko.

Vostochny terletak di kawasan yang terpencil di Wilayah Amur di Timur JAUh Rusia, yang membolehkan menghabiskan peringkat untuk selamat mendarat di taiga atau perairan neutral. Pembinaannya telah dilancarkan pada tahun 2012, seperti Rusia melihat keperluan untuk tapak pelancaran domestik untuk roket awam.

Rusia mempunyai kemudahan pelancaran tentera yang besar Plesetsk dan Astrakhan, tetapi untuk pelancaran awam terpaksa bergantung terutamanya kepada Baikonur Cosmodrome di Kazakhstan.

Pelancaran roket Soyuz-2.1a dari Vostochny datang selepas penangguhan. Ia pada mulanya dijadualkan pada Disember 2015, tetapi pembinaan landasan pelancaran dan kemudahan lain pergi lulus tarikh akhir. Hala tuju sekarang kata Cosmodrome harus mempunyai sehingga 10 melancarkan setiap tahun dalam beberapa tahun akan datang. Misi yang dipandu manusia pertama ke Stesen Angkasa Antarabangsa dijangka akan dilancarkan dari Vostochny selepas 2023.

Peranan yang dimainkan oleh kenaikan Cosmodrome baru, Rusia bercadang meneruskan pelancaran dari Baikonur. Kontrak pajakan berdiri dengan Kazakhstan berakhir pada tahun 2050. Berbanding dengan laman itu, Vostochny membolehkan muatan agak kecil yang akan dilancarkan kerana ia terletak 6 darjah utara.

Kerja-kerja di Cosmodrome itu berterusan pad pelancaran tambahan sedang dibina. Jumlah kos projek itu dianggarkan pada kira-kira $ 2.7 bilion. Semasa kemuncaknya proses yang terlibat sehingga 8,000 pekerja dan 1,000 kenderaan tugas berat.

Soyuz roket dilancarkan dari Vostochny pada Selasa menggunakan Peringkat yang ke-3 baru Volga. muatan yang termasuk satelit saintifik Mikhailo Lomonosov, sebuah nanosatellite eksperimen Samsat-218 dan seorang orang awam melihat jarak satelit Aist-2D. A sehari sebelum pelancaran itu ia telah dikurniakan oleh Christian biskop Ortodoks, satu majlis tradisional untuk misi angkasa Rusia.

Vice-Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin – something of a ‘space tsar’ in the Russian government – also watched the launch at the site, and was joined by the chief of Russian Space Troops, Lt. Gen. Aleksandr Golovko.

Vostochny is located in a desolate area of the Amur Region in Russia’s Far East, which allows spent stages to safely land in the taiga or neutral waters. Its construction was launched in 2012, as Russia saw the need for a domestic launch site for civilian rockets.

Russia has the large military launch facilities Plesetsk and Kapustin Yar, but for civilian launches has to rely primarily on the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

The launch of the Soyuz-2.1a rocket from Vostochny came after a delay. It was initially scheduled for December 2015, but the construction of the launch pad and other facilities went pass the deadline. The current roadmap says the cosmodrome should have up to 10 launches annually in the next several years. The first manned mission to the International Space Station is expected to be launched from Vostochny after 2023.

As the role played by the new cosmodrome increases, Russia intends continue launches from Baikonur. The standing lease contract with Kazakhstan ends in 2050. Compared to that site, Vostochny allows somewhat smaller payloads to be launched because it is located six degrees further north.

The work at the cosmodrome is continuing as additional launch pads are being constructed. The total cost of the project is estimated at around $2.7 billion. During its peak the process involved up to 8,000 workers and 1,000 heavy duty vehicles.

The Soyuz rocket launched from Vostochny on Tuesday used a new third stage Volga. Its payload includes the scientific satellite Mikhailo Lomonosov, an experimental nanosatellite SamSat-218 and a civilian distance viewing satellite Aist-2D. A day ahead the launch it was blessed by an Orthodox Christian bishop, a traditional ceremony for Russian space missions.

GENEVA menolak permintaan Turki untuk mengeluarkan pic menuduh Erdogan membunuh BUDAK . . .

 

JamaliahYusofYacob - Permintaan Turki untuk mengeluarkan gambar seorang budak lelaki dari satu pameran di Geneva, Switzerland, telah ditolak. Gambar itu mendakwa bahawa ketika itu PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan telah terlibat secara langsung dalam kes kematian seorang kanak-kanak di tengah-tengah bantahan anti-kerajaan pada tahun 2013.

"Geneva tidak akan membenarkan mana-mana negara dipengaruhi dalam perkara ini. Geneva dan Switzerland berdiri untuk kebebasan bersuara, "Naib Datuk Bandar Guillaume Barazzone memberitahu media Swiss.

Place des Nations di hadapan Pejabat PBB, di mana pameran itu sedang diadakan, adalah contoh yang baik kebebasan ini kerana ini adalah "di mana minoriti mesti berupaya untuk menyatakan" pendapat mereka, katanya.

"Oleh itu majlis pentadbiran akan menyokong pameran ini dan ia adalah daripada soalan untuk membuang gambar ini."

Demir Sönmez, seorang jurugambar Swiss asal Kurdis dan Armenia, berkata beliau terkejut dengan tindak balas Turki ke pameran itu.

Geneva rejects Turkish demand to remove 

pic accusing Erdogan Of killing boy . . .

Turkey’s demand to remove a photo of a boy from an exhibition in Geneva, Switzerland, has been rejected. The photo claims that then-PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan was directly involved in the death of a child amidst anti-government protests in 2013.

“Geneva will not allow any country to be influenced in this matter. Geneva and Switzerland stand for freedom of expression,” Vice Mayor Guillaume Barazzone told Swiss media.

Place des Nations in front of the UN Office, where the exhibition is being staged, is a good example of this freedom as this is “where minorities must be able to express” their opinions, he added.

“Therefore the administrative council will support this exhibition and it is out of the question to remove this photograph.”

Demir Sönmez, a Swiss photographer of Kurdish and Armenian origin, said he is appalled by the Turkish reaction to his exhibition.

"Saya terkejut, tetapi pada masa yang sama saya tidak terkejut, kerana Encik Erdogan dan kerajaannya tidak mempunyai toleransi jua untuk kebebasan bersuara dan kebebasan maklumat," katanya, seperti yang dipetik oleh Reuters.

“I am shocked, but at the same time I am not surprised, because Mr Erdogan and his government have no tolerance whatsoever for freedom of expression and freedom of information,” he said, as cited by Reuters.

Skandal itu berlaku kelmarin apabila Ankara menuntut Switzerland mengeluarkan gambar Berkin Elvan, seorang budak lelaki yang telah parah cedera pada Jun 2013 semasa demonstrasi besar-besaran terhadap Perdana Menteri Recep Tayyip Erdogan itu di Gezi Park Istanbul.

"Nama saya Berkin Elvan. polis membunuh saya, atas perintah Perdana Menteri Turki, "kata ‘caption’ di bawah gambar Elvan.

Pada 16 Jun, 2013, Elvan meninggalkan rumah untuk membeli roti, kata keluarganya. Dalam perjalanan pulang dia dipukul di kepala dengan kanister gas pemedih mata yang dilepaskan oleh polis semasa pertempuran dengan penunjuk perasaan.

Budak lelaki itu meninggal dunia di hospital pada usia 15 selepas menghabiskan 269 hari dalam keadaan koma. Ibunya, Gulsum Elvan, menyalahkan kematiannya pada Erdogan, yang memuji "kepahlawanan legenda" polis dalam anti-kerajaan perhimpunan kembali pada bulan Jun 2013.

The scandal broke out on Monday when Ankara demanded Switzerland remove a photo of Berkin Elvan, a boy who was fatally injured in June 2013 during mass demonstrations against then-Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan at Istanbul’s Gezi Park.

“My name is Berkin Elvan. The police killed me, on the order of Turkey's prime minister,” says the caption under the photo of Elvan.

On June 16, 2013, Elvan left home to buy some bread, his family said. On the way back he was hit in the head with a tear gas canister that was fired by police during clashes with protesters.

The boy died in hospital at the age of 15 after spending 269 days in a coma. His mother, Gulsum Elvan, blamed his death on Erdogan, who praised the “legendary heroism” of police in anti-government rallies back in June 2013.

Bar Turki kemasukan kepada wartawan asing, tidak memberikan sebarang penjelasan (Turkey bars entry to foreign journalists, gives no explanation) http://on.rt.com/7aze  7:26 AM - 25 Apr 2016

Kematian kanak-kanak itu mencetuskan bantahan besar-besaran di Turki; ramai di antara mereka menyebabkan pertempuran antara penunjuk perasaan dan polis.

Kedutaan Turki di ibu negara Switzerland Bern mengesahkan pada hari Selasa bahawa mereka telah cuba untuk "mewujudkan hubungan lisan dengan pihak berkuasa bandar Geneva" untuk memberitahu mereka bahawa gambar Elvan ini dibangkitkan "reaksi" tertentu oleh pertubuhan-pertubuhan bukan kerajaan Turki yang berpangkalan di Geneva.

Ini bukan kali pertama Erdogan telah cuba untuk melaksanakan pengaruh ke atas media asing.

Pada bulan April, Jerman memulakan siasatan terhadap TV pelawak Jan Boehmermann puisinya mengkritik presiden Turki selepas Erdogan memfailkan saman peribadi terhadapnya. komik ini sedang berhadapan pendakwaan di bawah undang-undang yang jarang digunakan yang menghukum mereka yang menghina orang-orang kenamaan asing.

Konsulat Turki di Rotterdam melalui e-mel organisasi Turki dengan permintaan itu mereka melaporkan "menghina" komen mengenai "Presiden kita, bangsa Turki atau Turki secara umum." Dalam giliran jahat, surat itu merujuk kepada "segala-galanya yang dikongsi di Twitter, Facebook dan walaupun dalam e-mel peribadi."

Beberapa wartawan EU telah dibenarkan masuk ke Turki pada bulan kebelakangan ini. Pada bulan April, wartawan Belanda Ebru Umar berkata, beliau secara ringkas ditahan di Turki berhubung tulisan Twitter mengkritik Erdogan. Juga pada bulan April, seorang wartawan TV untuk penyiar Jerman ARD Volker Schwenck, yang telah pergi ke sempadan Turki-Syria untuk melaporkan pelarian, menghabiskan masa 6 jam ditahan di lapangan terbang Istanbul selepas dibenarkan masuk ke dalam Turki.

Pada bulan Mac wartawan untuk berpengaruh Jerman majalah Der Spiegel, Hasnain Kazim, terpaksa meninggalkan negara ini oleh pihak berkuasa Turki selepas kelayakan akhbarnya tidak diperbaharui. ‘Editor-in-chief ‘majalah itu menuduh Turki melanggar kebebasan akhbar.

The boy’s death sparked mass protests in Turkey; many of them resulted in violent clashes between demonstrators and police.

Turkey’s embassy in the Swiss capital Bern confirmed on Tuesday that they had been trying to “establish verbal contact with the Geneva city authorities” to inform them that Elvan’s photograph raised certain “reactions” by Geneva-based Turkish non-governmental organizations.

This is not the first time Erdogan has tried to exercise influence over foreign media.

In April, Germany opened an investigation into TV comedian Jan Boehmermann's poem criticizing the Turkish president after Erdogan filed a personal lawsuit against him. The comic now faces prosecution under a rarely-used law that punishes those who insult foreign dignitaries.

The Turkish consulate in Rotterdam emailed Turkish organizations with the request they report “derogatory” comments about “our President, the Turkish nation or Turkey in general.” In a sinister turn, the letter refers to "everything that's being shared on Twitter, Facebook and even in private emails."

A number of EU journalists have been denied entry to Turkey in recent months. In April, Dutch journalist Ebru Umar said she was briefly detained in Turkey over Twitter posts critical of Erdogan. Also in April, a TV journalist for German broadcaster ARD Volker Schwenck, who was going to the Turkish-Syrian border to report on refugees, spent six hours detained at Istanbul airport after being refused entry into Turkey.

In March a correspondent for the influential German magazine Der Spiegel, Hasnain Kazim, was forced to leave the country by Turkish authorities after his press credentials weren’t renewed. The magazine’s editor-in-chief accused Turkey of violating press freedom.

BANYAK lagi but di atas tanah, Obama menghantar 250 lebih tentera Amerika Syarikat ke SYRIA . . .

FILE PHOTO © Lucas Jackson/Reuters

JamaliahYusofYacob - Presiden Amerika Syarikat, Barack Obama mengesahkan rancangan untuk meningkat secara mendadak kehadiran tentera Amerika di Syria dengan menambah sebanyak 250 kakitangan, menjadikan jumlah keseluruhan 300. Beliau berkata, tentera akan membantu mengusir kumpulan pengganas Negara Islam (IS).

Langkah itu yang pertama kali dilaporkan oleh media, sekali lagi bercanggah Obama 2013 janji tidak meletakkan apa-apa "but Amerika di atas tanah di Syria."

"Sebagaimana saya telah meluluskan sokongan tambahan untuk tentera Iraq terhadap ISIL (Negara Islam, sebelum ini ISIS/ISIL - RT), saya telah memutuskan untuk meningkatkan sokongan kepada pasukan tempatan memerangi ISIL, Amerika Syarikat di Syria," kata Obama.

"Sebilangan kecil operasi khas tentera Amerika Syarikat sudah di atas tanah air Syria," katanya. "Kepakaran mereka telah kritikal kerana kuasa-kuasa tempatan telah memandu ISIL daripada bidang utama. Jadi memandangkan kejayaan, saya telah meluluskan penggunaan sehingga 250 kakitangan tambahan Amerika Syarikat di Syria, termasuk kuasa-kuasa khas, untuk mengekalkan momentum ini. "

Ia tidak jelas bagaimana ramai orang-orang 250 tentera akan ditambah untuk operasi khas, sokongan perubatan atau kecerdasan. Menurut Obama, mereka akan terlibat dalam operasi khas serta dalam latihan dan membantu pihak pembangkang Syria untuk melawan IS.

More boots on the ground: Obama sends 250 more US troops to Syria . . .

US President Barack Obama confirmed plans to dramatically increase the American troop presence in Syria by deploying an additional 250 personnel, bringing the total to 300. He said the troops would help drive out the Islamic State terrorist group.

The move, which was first reported by the media, will once again contradict Obama’s 2013 promise of not putting any “American boots on the ground in Syria.”

“Just as I have approved additional support for Iraqi forces against ISIL (Islamic State, previously ISIS/ISIL - RT), I've decided to increase US support for local forces fighting ISIL in Syria,” Obama said.

“A small number of US special operations forces are already on the ground in Syria,” he said. “Their expertise has been critical as local forces have been driving ISIL out of key areas. So given the success, I have approved the deployment of up to 250 additional US personnel in Syria, including special forces, to keep up this momentum.”

It was not immediately clear how many of those 250 troops would be added to special operations, medical or intelligence support. According to Obama, they will be involved in special operations as well as in training and assisting Syrian opposition forces to fight IS.

Bercakap di Hannover, Germany, Obama berkata anggota NATO boleh dan perlu melakukan lebih banyak untuk memperjuangkan Negara Islam (IS).

"Di Syria dan Iraq kita memerlukan lebih banyak negara-negara yang menyumbang kepada kempen mereka. Kita perlu lebih banyak negara menyumbang tenaga pengajar untuk membantu membina pasukan tempatan di Iraq. Kita perlu lebih banyak negara untuk menyumbang bantuan ekonomi kepada Iraq sehingga dapat menstabilkan kawasan bebas dan memecahkan kitaran keganasan supaya ISIL tidak boleh kembali, "katanya.

Obama melawat Jerman untuk membincangkan pelbagai isu dasar luar, termasuk Syria, Ukraine, Libya dan Trans-Atlantic Perdagangan dan Pelaburan Perkongsian (TTIP) tawaran kontroversi.

Beliau mesyuarat pegawai-pegawai Eropah atas, termasuk Canselor Jerman Angela Merkel, Perdana Menteri Britain, David Cameron, Presiden Perancis Francois Hollande dan Perdana Menteri Itali Matteo Renzi.

Kali pertama Obama ingkar janji 2013 tidak lagi "but Amerika di atas tanah di Syria" ialah apabila beliau menghantar 50 tentera Amerika Syarikat operasi khas untuk Syria pada tahun lepas, mendakwa langkah itu sebagai langkah "counter keganasan" dan bukan satu langkah lebih dekat kepada pencerobohan tanah.

Speaking in Hannover, Germany, Obama said NATO members can and should do more to fight Islamic State.

"In Syria and Iraq we need more nations contributing to their campaign. We need more nations contributing trainers to help build up local forces in Iraq. We need more nations to contribute economic assistance to Iraq so it can stabilise liberated areas and break the cycle of violent extremism so that ISIL cannot come back,"he said.

Obama is visiting Germany to discuss various foreign policy issues, including Syria, Ukraine, Libya and the controversial Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) deal.

He is meeting top European officials, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron, French President Francois Hollande and Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.

The first time Obama broke his 2013 promise of no “American boots on the ground in Syria” was when he sent 50 US special operations forces to Syria last year, claiming the move as a “counterterrorism” measure and not a step closer to a ground invasion.

Obama memenangi jawatan presiden pada kali pertama pada tahun 2008 oleh berikrar untuk membawa keamanan ke Timur Tengah. Walau bagaimanapun, pada tahun-tahun kebelakangan ini, keputusan telah dibuat untuk terus menambah tentera Amerika Syarikat di rantau ini untuk membantu mengawal pelbagai konflik.

Keputusan Obama untuk meningkatkan bilangan tentera Amerika di atas tanah di Syria membawa isu mengenai kegagalan sebelum kereta api Amerika Syarikat dan melengkapkan program yang diuruskan dengan pejuang pembangkang tidak boleh dipercayai.

Pentagon berputus asa pada bahagian latihan projek pada bulan Oktober, selepas pegawai kanan pentadbiran Obama mengakui bahawa Amerika Syarikat telah hanya dilatih segelintir pejuang, walaupun program ini bajet $ 500 juta.

Obama won the presidency first time around in 2008 by pledging to bring peace to the Middle East. However, in recent years, decisions were made to keep adding US troops in the region to help control numerous conflicts.

Obama’s decision to boost the number of American troops on the ground in Syria brings up issues concerning the previous failures of the US train and equip program that dealt with unreliable opposition fighters.

The Pentagon gave up on the training part of the project in October, after senior Obama administration officials admitted that the US had only trained a handful of fighters, despite the program’s $500 million budget.

Lebih-lebih lagi, ia telah mendedahkan pada bulan September bahawa satu kumpulan pelatih telah menyerahkan 1/4 daripada senjata AS Amerika Syarikat yang dibekalkan mereka, peluru, dan kenderaan dalam pertukaran untuk laluan selamat melalui wilayah yang dipegang oleh kumpulan pemberontak lain yang bersekutu dengan Al-Qaeda.

Rangsangan ini kepada kuasa tanah Amerika juga menimbulkan kebimbangan undang-undang untuk Obama. Pengembangan peranan Amerika Syarikat menekankan bahawa Amerika adalah dalam perang terhadap IS, yang di bawah Perlembagaan memerlukan kebenaran kongres, yang Obama tidak pernah menerima.

Selain lebih banyak tentera di Syria, Pentagon mengumumkan minggu lalu bahawa 217 anggota tentera tambahan dan helikopter Apache akan dihantar ke Iraq, sebahagian besarnya dalam kapasiti, tentang bagaimana untuk melawan Negara Islam (IS). Tentera tambahan akan membawa Amerika Syarikat tahap tentera di Iraq kepada 4087 orang.

Pakatan diketuai Amerika Syarikat telah menjalankan serangan udara terhadap IS di Iraq dan Syria sejak pertengahan 2014. Walau bagaimanapun, penglibatan Amerika Syarikat di Syria bermula tanpa kelulusan kerajaan Syria Presiden Bashar Assad.

Moreover, it was revealed in September that one group of trainees had surrendered one quarter of their US-supplied weapons, ammunition, and vehicles in exchange for safe passage through territory held by another rebel group affiliated with Al-Qaeda.

This boost to American ground force also raises legal concerns for Obama. An expansion of the US role highlights that America is in war against IS, which under the Constitution requires congressional authorization, which Obama has never received.

In addition to more troops in Syria, the Pentagon announced last week that 217 additional military personnel and Apache helicopters will be sent to Iraq, largely in an advisory capacity, on how to fight Islamic State. The additional troops will bring US troop levels in Iraq to 4,087.

The US-led coalition has been carrying out airstrikes against IS in Iraq and Syria since mid-2014. However, the US involvement in Syria began without the approval of the Syrian government of President Bashar Assad.
