American military officials said they wouldn’t give an inch in response to a veiled Russian threat to shoot down U.S. jets. But the line out of the Pentagon wasn’t so defiant.
Pentagon officials told The Daily Beast that the U.S. military was reassessing its air war over Syria after Moscow hinted it might shoot down American warplanes there.
"We're taking prudent measures to re position over Syria," Defense Department spokeswoman Dana White told The Daily Beast. "We always take proper measures depending on the situation on the ground, but we're still operating… throughout Syria,” she said. “We always reserve the right to defend ourselves and our coalition partners."
