The Russian military build up continues as six Su-34 Fullback attack planes arrive in Syria.
Six Sukhoi Su-34 aircraft have eventually arrived at Latakia to join the Russian contingent already there.
Images allegedly shot around the al-Assad International Airport clearly show one Russian Fullback about to land at the airbase in western Syria where 28 Russian aircraft have arrived last week.
One of the photos taken from the ground shows the six aircraft trailing what seems to be an airliner over Idlib: the larger plane is probably a Russian Air Force Tu-154.

I don’t think the Saudis are going to like this.
The Middle East just got hotter.
I mean them being in Syria in force. Maybe I am making too much of it (not as ground shaking as it seems). So good point nonetheless.
You have an outstanding point there. Just who in their right mind would trust that guy for anything??
I do not believe it is large enough to lift the Sunburn.
No.
Putin praised the Kurds fighting ISIS. The Kurdish rebels maybe our allies now but 99% of the Kurdish armed militias are old school Marxists guerrilla movements akin to the Vietcong. So Putin’s KGB knows them well and has worked with them in the past.
Yes, to counter Israel and NATO. Remember the Kosovo war? NATO attacked the Chinese embassy in Belgrade “in error”? I don’t think Russians forgot that lesson either.
Supposedly several tractor trailer loads of stingers, thats all.
we have a few Americans fighting with them.
A plurality of American voters?
Was reading there was a naval variant designed to be carried by the SU-33. Agree it has to be smaller. Did not find a pic of it though. The cruciform intakes were what got me searching.
“I don’t care who is flying, as long as they kill lots of ISIS and Al Queda.”
Amen brother and welcome back.
Great video of you/your friends with the dolphins and your invention.
Thanks.
I’d guess it’s a bit of both, but more of the former.
INDEED!!
Russian investigative journalists and bloggers have uncovered an army of internet trolls paid to pour invective on the Kremlin’s opponents and heap praise on President Putin.
Posing as job applicants, the reporters discovered the government hacks working at a small company called the St Petersburg Internet Research Agency. ...”

France is backing the Sunni’s/Saudi Arabia.
We can trust Obama NOT to do what is good for America. But who with a fragment of brain tissue in their head, and some basic knowledge of his history, would trust KGB/FSB Putin on anything? Do you trust him?
What do you suspect the Russians will do now that they have 40 aircraft in Syria?
