Strengthening Russian air base in Syria called useless

The strengthening of the Russian military air base "Khmeimim" was called useless.

The appearance at the Russian military air base "Khmeimim" of shelters for aircraft and the construction of similar shelters for helicopters should make it possible to hide the amount of military aircraft located in Syria. Nevertheless, as netizens point out, shelters like these will not provide reliable protection to Russian fighters, bombers, attack aircraft and helicopters.

“Given the number of satellites given above, there is no need to monitor arrival and departure ... The hangars are not closed, you see what is on the sides. In addition, a drone with 30-kilogram ammunition (approximately 4 times the Hellfire missile warhead) can also attack from the sides or even drop several ammunition through the roof (these pieces even penetrate 1 m of tank armor!), And / or on the sides ... The reasoning about these "soft" hangars sounds a little false ... ", - comments on the article “Al masdar news»One of the users.

On the other hand, today, despite the numerous attacks of terrorists, not one of them has been successful, which indicates a high degree of protection of the Russian military facility.
