RuAF with two Su-24, two pairs of Mil Mi-8 and Mi-35 helicopters and 4 SyAAF Su-22 at Deir Ezzor Air Base today

The range of 'gear' being tested in Syria seems to relentlessly increase.

I like how they send them for every small repair toward admiralty shipyards at the other side of Russia .wasn't this already in the Mediteranean ? Was it for repair or stayed there before it get delivered to black sea.

Armed with Novator 3M14 (NATO:SSN-30-A) Kalibr-PL cruise missiles,#ВМФ #ЧФ Black Sea Fleet 4th Independent Submarine Brigade’s Project 636.3Kilo+ class submarine Rostov-na-Donu Б237 transited Bosphorus towards Mediterranean

Busy day in the Bosporus yesterday, Azov and Kilo southbound, corvette northbound. Unusual picture with two going in different directions in same frame plus you don't seeing conning tower pictures like this often either. Just who is 'driving' the Kilo, the guy who looks as if he is in his car, arm out the window?

This is for the people who didn't believe Russia deployed Iskander-M at the Khmeimim airbase in Syria. They were showcased during the 75th anniversary Parade.

Or Bastion?

Bastion-P's trailer looks significantly different.

Russian contingent in Syria increased to 6.5 thousand people

This is evidenced by the results of voting on PEC No. 8269 in Damascus.

A total of 6424 people voted: for 75.98%, against 12.18%.

September 21, 2016 at PEC No. 8269 in Damascus, assigned to the Slavgorod single-mandate constituency in the Altai Territory, 4,571 people voted. This is the largest number of Russians who voted in Syria in previous years: four times fewer voters voted in the presidential elections in 2012 and the State Duma in 2011. Since 2015, Russia has been conducting a military operation in Syria.

Looks like rumors that Russians make airbase in Palmyra are not correct.Airport in Palmyra is still damaged and intersected by trenches.But possible that they make in Deir el Zor.They transferred some planes, large troops and some radars

They can use it as a forward airbase for choppers and su-25.

There is no sign that they will increase their presence or increase the bombings in Syria as of today. The situation is pretty calm.

The 'Tiger's protector is still never far away.

OK, what's all this about? There must be quite a few Russians there now.

This morning, Tuesday (July 7), a large Russian military convoy of about 30 tanks, 20 buses and pick-up vehicles with anti-aircraft machine guns entered Deir Ezzor city, Deir Ezzor 24 network correspondent said.

According to our correspondent, the convoy came from the countryside of Raqqa province, from the areas where Assad and Russian forces are present, and entered barracks in Deir Ezzor city.

It is noteworthy that this is the fourth Russian convoy to withdraw from the countryside of Raqqa province to Deir Ezzor in a week.

The "driver" is normally in the command centre area.... these guys are just the lookouts and observers that warn of any potential for collisions or running aground... and of course get a breath of fresh air...

Couldn't resist it, we've all seen that pose. Apparently lots of skin cancer on arms due to it. The opening window on a sub made me smile as well.

Interesting if true. With India wanting some there must be a good stockpile.

Russia provided 12 new MiG-29 aircraft to the Syrian army earlier this month
For the Syrian Air Force, to join its eight who arrived before it in early June last year,and to bring the number of planes that arrived in the Syrian army to this category to 20.

India bought from Mig some unfinished airframes that never flown.

Syria is getting IMO them from RuAF since they used to have 400 or so of them and don't really fly them anymore.

The difference is that Mig will never give planes for free. That's a company that makes money. RuAF is a part of russian military and they need Syria to be secured so they don't really care about the mig as they don't use them and can give them to the SAA.

Also, the Syrians are already familiar with the MiG-29....hopefully this gets confirmed

According to the article below, the new Syrian MiG-29's are equipped with the APD-518 tactical air situation information exchange terminals, allowing them to receive targeting data from an A-50 AWACS without the need to use their own radar (or if it's jammed). They're speculating this would give them a fighting chance against the Israeli fighters who are equipped with powerful EW systems ....also against Turish fighters in the event of another clash in Idlib....assuming Russia would provide the data from an A-50

That's also used by mig-31 and Syria was said to be a potential export customer of the mig-31BM back in 2008 I think. Maybe they will sell them two or three to act as mini AWACS against israeli and turkish f-16 and f-15 and as an AWACS destroyer with r-37.

Maybe Egypt should buy a squadron of mig-31.

I believe the subsystem can also get information from ground based systems. So updated P-18 and other radars can send the info to the MiGs
Doesn't mean just A-50

That is what this is. These are pods to add such availabilities to older jets which didn't have them initially. Russia has left the whole seperate comm link structure between air and ground back in 2010, two years after Georgian war. For good reason too.

M-ATV flipped on it's arse!
