Russia Deploys 28 Warplanes to Syria

Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz : Sep 23, 2015  Breaking Israel News

Unfortunately, a confrontation seems unavoidable since Syria, led by President Bashar al-Assad, was Russia's strongest ally in the region.

(Syria)—In a serious escalation of its military presence, Russia deployed 28 combat aircraft to its base in Syria. A senior United States official said on Monday that 12 Su-25 Frogfoot ground-attack planes and 12 Su-24 Fencers had arrived at the Russian base in Latakia, adding the ability to strike at ground-based targets. Previously, there were four Flanker air-to-air fighters at the base. (Photo via Breaking Israel News)

Other military assets at the base reported by the American official include 15 Russian Hip transport and Hind attack helicopters. Ground forces include nine T-90 tanks and more than 500 marines. This is at least twice the number from last week. The base is protected by several SA-22 surface-to-air, antiaircraft systems.

The equipment and personnel just keep flowing in," said the American official, who spoke to the NY Times on condition of anonymity. "They were very busy over the weekend."
