In the Syrian Civil War, the city of Aleppo has been badly hit by Russian and Syrian airstrikes, with claims that Russia is targeting rebel-held civilian areas using WW2-era 'carpet bombing' tactics. Russia have strongly denied this, telling a meeting of the UN Security Council that such accusations are 'baseless'.
The United States however, believe Russia is using a deconfliction arrangement to mask the true nature of its airstrikes in Syria. The US is preparing a risky manoeuvre to penetrate Russian controlled airspace over Syria and gather evidence of any alleged war crimes.
