Khmeimim air base attacked

The Russian military air base "Khmeimim" was attacked by terrorists. The attack was carried out using unmanned aerial vehicles, however, the latter were destroyed not with the use of fire, but with the use of electronic warfare.

As a result of the successful deployment of Russian electronic warfare systems, drones were intercepted another 40 kilometers from the Russian military air base.

It is noteworthy that the attack by the terrorists was carried out against the background of a U.S. Air Force reconnaissance operation near Russian military bases in the Arab Republic, which does not exclude the possibility that it is Washington that could be responsible for the attack.

Militants counterattacked SAA positions

The terrorists recaptured one of the settlements in the province of Idlib from the Syrian government forces. We are talking about the village of Abu Daphne, and the reason for this was the lack of air support - due to adverse weather conditions, sorties of the Russian air forces and the Syrian air force were not carried out until the evening.

Officially, data on the loss of a previously controlled settlement are not commented.
