Watch Russian jets on anti-terror ops in Syria
As Takfiri terrorists are still at large in Syria, Russian warplanes have come to help the war-stricken country out of the crisis upon a request from President Bashar al-Assad.
Deployed in an airbase in Syria’s coastal province of Latakia, Russian warplanes started their anti-terror campaign on Wednesday and are still carrying out “precision strikes” against Daesh and other terrorist groups, targeting their bases and arsenals in the militant-held regions.
According to the Russian RT television network, there are more than 50 Russian fighter jets and choppers currently operating in Syria, helping the Syrian government clearing the country from terrorists.
The following photos and videos are RT’s exclusive close-ups of Russian fighter jets, and show them resting inside the base, taking off, flying, or landing.
The foreign-sponsored conflict in Syria, which started in March 2011, has reportedly claimed some 250,000 lives up until now.
The United Nations says 12.2 million people, including more than 5.6 million children, remain in need of humanitarian assistance in the Arab country. The foreign-sponsored militancy has also displaced some 11 million people -- about half the country's pre-war population.
