Four for 2.5 billion. About the first military results of operations in Syria

The Russian military operation in Syria has been going on for almost three weeks, and how much more time it will take is difficult to say. Earlier, the Russian authorities stated that the aerospace forces would be in Latakia for no longer than three to four months. According to President Vladimir Putin, the operation will continue all the time while the troops of Bashar al -Assad are offensive on the opposition fighters and the Islamic State prohibited in the Russian Federation. That is, an arbitrarily long.

In general, it should be recognized that Russia is still doing military participation, if not brilliantly, then quite satisfactory, even good, that is, to the four. And this, perhaps, is explainable - at Kon not just helping friendly Assad, but the formation of political and military authority in the international arena, a demonstration of the relics of an updated army, and the test of non -nuclear forces of restraint.

The expenses of the country's state budget for assistance to the troops of Bashar al -Assad can already be about 2.2-2.6 billion rubles

Russian military aircraft has been strokes on the Syrian opposition and the Islamic State since September 30 of this year. And if the first three days of participation in the military operation were, roughly speaking, shooting, the planes performed a small number of sorties, now aviation came to taste. In a little less than three weeks, the fighters and bombers of the Russian Aerospace Forces performed about 480 sorties.

Given the cost of the flight hours, payments to military personnel, maintenance of infrastructure and military equipment, ammunition, the country's state budget expenditures for assistance to the troops of Bashar al -Assad can already be about 2.2–2.6 billion rubles. Against the completely funny expenses of 4-5 million rubles in the first three “preparatory” days of the military operation.

Russia involved the Su-24 and Su-34 front-line bombers in Syria, Su-25 assault aircraft, Su-30SM fighters. The latter ensure the cover of bombers and attack aircraft flying to the task, which strike attacks on enemy positions. For bombing, mainly free-sailing aviation bombs and bomb cassettes with fragmentation-fluigo SubbotePasis are used. This is not expensive weapons, but quite effective if it is used against an not too technically equipped enemy. The Mi-24P fire support helicopters are also used.
