FOX News: Russian attack helicopters spotted in Syria
Four Russian attack helicopters have been spotted on the tarmac of a Syrian airport that the Pentagon says is being converted into a Russian forward operating base.
The arrival of the helicopter gunships follows the shipment of sophisticated battle tanks, and shows the Russian build-up in Syria escalating even after repeated complaints from the Obama administration.
A U.S. official who had been briefed on the latest intelligence over Syria early Wednesday told Fox News that two Russian Mi-24 "Hind" and two Mi-17 "Hip" gunships have been seen in the latest satellite imagery over Bassel al-Assad International Airport, in Latakia province along Syria's Mediterranean coast.
WNU Editor: More proof that Russian military forces are preparing themselves to become directly involved in the Syrian war.
Yea miguel to have isis in power is nothing to get worried by. Much more easy to say that putin is a monster that stands up for the russian people
ReplyDeleteAnon, let's be honest - there are no GOOD choice in Syria's Civil War. Assad, ISIS, Al-Nusra, etc. do not have a good track record, and I highly doubt either three will be able to bring stability to Syria ever again.
