The U.S. and Russian government are reportedly in the talks of possibly signing an agreement for some air safety procedures in light of the current Syria conflict, wherein the aircrafts of the two countries flew too close with each other last Saturday.

A U.S. defense official claimed that the U.S and Russia are in progress of crafting procedures for air safety to answer the current situation in Syria. "We are nearing completion of a memorandum of agreement that would set up procedures to enhance air safety," the official said anonymously on Wednesday as quoted by AFP.

Although there are still no official statements from the Russian government, the U.S. official claimed that the implementation could happen soon. "It could be signed and implemented in the coming days," the official said.

Meanwhile, Pentagon spokesman Captain Jeff Davis revealed that "Progress was made during the discussions, which were professional and focused narrowly on the implementation of specific safety procedures."

Apparently, the air safety procedures are needed soon since just last weekend, both aircrafts of the U.S. and Russia flew within a close few miles with each other and is reportedly around just 10 to 20 miles apart, according to a report from BBC News.

Russia started its military campaign on Sept. 30 and fired missiles into Syria while the U.S. coalition had been actively in operation since last year, targeting the Islamic State (IS) group and other terrorists.

Both Russia and the U.S. share the same goals but are just too close with each other in the battlefield, and the latter speculates more problems to arise if there won't be any action to promote air safety procedures.

"There's always going to be some risk if there are uncoordinated actors in the battle space," Colonel Steve Warren, the spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition on Tuesday as quoted by AFP.

Warren even revealed according to AFP that "deconfliction" talks are definitely needed and that Russian planes had even broken air patrols as they were too close with the unmanned U.S. aerial vehicles or drone aircraft, reports BBC News.

U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter previously said that Russia's operations were "wrongheaded and strategically short-sighted."

Meanwhile, the possible agreement would include the official language to be used by the Russian and American pilots to communicate as well as the radio frequencies to be used for distress calls and the altitude to be followed by the warplanes, per the AFP.
