The militants turned out to have weapons capable of destroying the Russian air base in Latakia.

Despite the fact that the Russian military airbase “Khmeimim” possesses one of the most sophisticated defense measures, and the militants used mainly unmanned aerial vehicles for attack, today it became known that the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham terrorists (the terrorist group , banned in Russia - ed.) there are multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) "Hail", which less than a day ago struck a powerful blow on the northern suburb of Masyafa, located 38 kilometers from the border of the demilitarized zone in Idlib, while the Russian military airbase "Khmeimim" is only 35 kilometers away.

“The fact that the terrorists used Grad to strike almost 40 kilometers away should raise obvious fears, since the terrorists will certainly be able to use this weapon to strike the Hmeimim airbase. Of course, air defense systems are able to repel a similar attack, but such a threat is no longer a potential, but a real one. ”, - the analyst notes.

It should be clarified that earlier, Turkey had confirmed its readiness to launch, together with Russia, Syria and Iran, a large-scale offensive operation against the positions of the terrorists “Hayat Tahrir al-Sham” in Idlib.
