In the photographs, you can indeed see the silhouettes of two huge aircraft, while, presumably, the spacecraft photographed the moment of landing of two aircraft, and given the fact that the images are dated February 14, it is logical to assume that it is with this fact that the previously appeared information about the transfer to Syria of Russian strategic bombers, as reported by Avia.pro.

Nevertheless, experts call this information false, noting that apparently this is not about the Tu-160 strategic bombers, but about the An-124 military transport aircraft that delivered ammunition and weapons to Syria.

“The quality of satellite images does not allow us to conclude unambiguously that we are talking about bombers. With the same success, it can be military transport aircraft, however, earlier it was really supposed to re-equip the Khmeimim airbase to receive strategic bombers, and therefore, it is still impossible to completely refute these data ", - the expert marks.

It should be clarified that representatives of the Russian Ministry of Defense do not comment on data on the possible transfer of the Tu-160 to Syria.
