The Russian Defense Ministry is about to send to Syria, to the main oeprative base of Hmeymim, near Bassel Al-Assad International Airport, a small task aviation force formed exclusively, by fighter interceptors equipped exclusively with the short, medium and long air-to-air range armaments. One that is no longer a rumor was recruited by Putin, after the episode of killing the Russian Su-24, that crashed 2.5 miles from the turkish border, shot down by an Ankara F-16.

Recall that the General Staff has issued new guidelines to ensure the safety of the aircraft involved in Syria. The main directives are three. The first provides for the supply of all strike aircraft. The second is the activation of a sort of no-fly zone with immediate coverage in the cruiser Moskva and systems based on land S300 / S400 with direct fire against any potential enemy. The third, finally, the end of military contacts with Turkey.
