We all walk under the side

The Syrian authorities relocated most of their combat aircraft closer to the Russian air base Khmeimim. It is reported by CNN with reference to two sources in the Pentagon.

As sources suggest, this is done to protect yourself from a new possible blow from the United States. Damascus expects that the US military is unlikely to strike Syrian aviation in the immediate vicinity of Russian aircraft and air defense systems.

According to the sources, the movement of aviation began shortly after the United States inflicted a massive blow to cruise missiles to the Shayrat airfield on April 7.

Now Syrian military aviation will be based on a military base in the area of ​​Basil Al-Asada International Airport. Not far from this base in the same province of Latakia is the Khmeimim base, where there are Russian forces participating in a military operation in Syria. CNN notes that the Russian base is protected by the modern air defense complex.

On April 4, the Aviation of the Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad threw off the bombs with Zarin , as well as presumably chlorine on the city of Khan-Sheikhun controlled by the rebels in Muhafaz Idlib. As a result of the attack, more than 80 people were killed, including children. Damascus said that the dictator’s aircraft did not use chemical weapons, but bombed the plant and the warehouse of chemical shells of the rebels. At such an explanation of events in Khan-Sheikhun, they also insist in Moscow.

Meanwhile, democratic countries rejected this interpretation. After Russia actually foiled the adoption of the UN Security Council on the attack on Khan-Sheikhun, on April 7, at about 3:40 a.m. local time, the American warships of Porter and Ross, by order of President Donald Trump, released 59 Tomagavk winged missiles from the Eastern Mediterranean. On the basis, according to Americans, the chemical weapons of Assad are stored.

The Russian Ministry of Defense, referring to their technical means of observation, announced the low efficiency of the blow. Meanwhile, the Pentagon noted that 58 missiles were struck by the intended goals. One deviated 38 feet.
