At the Russian airbase in Syria discovered a lot of new aircraft

Many new aircraft have been spotted at a Russian airbase in Syria.

On March 17, 2019, satellite images were presented showing at least four Su-25 attack aircraft that arrived at the Khmeimim airbase in Syria.

However, satellite images taken by the Sentinel-2 show that there are actually at least 9 new combat aircraft at the Russian military airbase.

At the parking lot located in the eastern part of the Russian military air base, you can see at least 5 combat aircraft (their name is unknown - editor's note). Despite the relatively weak resolution of the spacecraft, the contours of the aircraft are clearly visible, while in the satellite image taken three weeks earlier (February 25, 2019 - Ed.), You can see that the site is completely empty.

Moreover, the outlines of at least four Su-25 attack aircraft can also be seen in an open parking lot in the western part of the military airbase - two days earlier they were presented in a clearer satellite image.

Considering satellite data, it can be assumed that the Russian Aerospace Forces grouping in Syria in just a few weeks was increased by 1,5 times, and at the moment the number of combat aircraft here reaches almost three dozen.
