Defence Blog: U.S. Air Force B-52 spotted near Russian military base in Syria

A U.S. Air Force B-52H Stratofortress heavy bomber was spotted near the Russian Hmeimim military base in Latakia province, in the northwest of Syria, Lenta.ru news agency reported on Sunday.

Hmeimim is Russia’s main base for airstrikes on rebel groups in Syria – strikes that have enabled President Bashar al-Assad’s forces to recover much lost ground.
