British fighters flew near the Russian military base "Khmeimim."
A few hours ago, next to the Russian military air base "Hmeimim" British fighters Eurofighter Typhoon were first spotted. According to preliminary data, combat aircraft were even seen in Syrian airspace during a certain unknown military operation, while being only a few tens of kilometers from the Russian military airfield.

Despite the presence of advanced Russian air defense systems in Syria, foreign military aircraft completely ignore the existing threat, flying even in the affected area of short-range air defense systems.
Among other things, experts drew attention to the fact that along with the British Eurofighter Typhoon fighters there was an Airbus KC-3 tanker aircraft, which indicates a long flight, and, obviously, confirms the fact that military aircraft moved through Syria.
There are no official comments on this subject from the representatives of the Royal Air Force of Great Britain.
