.” Air defense systems and 50% of the aircraft “
Russia may leave Syria air defense systems (air defense), as well as about 50 percent aviagruppirovki Hmeymim to protect the air base and port of Tartus. This opinion was expressed by the chief editor of” Arsenal of the Fatherland “, a member of the Expert Council of the military industrial Commission of the Russian Federation Viktor Murakhovski.
“Let’s remember the situation last year, when many Western politicians and the media predicted the fall of the so-called” regime of Bashar al-Assad. ” Someone said about two weeks, someone about a month, and the most timid gave it two months. The intervention of Russian armed forces in the face, above all, videoconferencing and Navy dramatically turned the tide “, – said Murakhovski TASS
.” The result was not long in coming: for several months have been released tens of thousands of square kilometers of SAR areas “- said the expert
According to him, now is the time to complete the operation in Syria because.” by Russian VKS, Syrian government army and its allies failed to reach a ceasefire in most parts of Syria. ” “This was the main task faced by our Armed forces,” – said the agency
Murakhovski suggested that strength and resources left on the defense of the port of Tartous and airbase Hmeymim are unlikely to be greatly reduced, since. the threat remains. “We know that the militants are organized enough to have combat experience, so they might have a very decisive action.
