Meanwhile it looks like a deal is done on the protection of the 'Iran Express' where oil and other supply ships will be protected in a convoy by Iranian Navy ships all the was up the Red Sea to the Suez Canal and then when they reach the Med by the Russian Navy. By implication this has already happened with the tankers that arrived last week.

Two Tu-22M's spotted above Khmeimim AB.
Very strange to see these deployed. It is likely that we will see escalation in the next few weeks.

It should also mean they will be able to carry heavier individual weapons too perhaps.

Tu-22M3 has a hi-hi-hi combat radius of 4,000 km with a payload of three Kh-22M/AS-4 missiles.
Here is what that combat radius looks like from Khmeimim Air Base in Syria. They would have more access to the Mediterranean and Africa.

The aerial shots show the before and after of what was the "graduation ceremony" for the bearded, head cutter terrorists, courtesy of Russian aviation

It seems that entire Syria is in Latakia tonight
This guy posts a lot of what's really going on in Syria that will NEVER see the light of day on mainstream media.

RFA Victoria (one of the supply vessels of the UK Carrier Strike Group around HMS Queen Elizabeth) has arrived in the port of Limassol, Cyprus. The aircraft carrier has been reported to operate to the South of the island. #CSG21
The Tu-22M are back, with a few friends

A joint exercise of the Russian Navy and the Russian Aerospace Forces is taking place in the Mediterranean
During the joint exercise of the forces of the permanent task force of the Russian Navy in the Mediterranean Sea and the aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces, which has been taking place since June 25 in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, a pair of MiG-31K aircraft and an Il-38 anti-submarine aircraft were flown from Russian airfields to the Russian Hmeimim air base in the Syrian Arab Republic.
Currently, the crews of the MiG-31K have begun to perform tasks for the development of the airspace of the region. The latest hypersonic missiles from the Kinzhal complex can be used on these aircraft.
Also, long-range Tu-22M3 bombers made training flights over the Mediterranean Sea. "The pilots of the aircraft received practical skills to perform tasks in new geographical areas. Tasks were performed to destroy a conditional enemy. The tasks are completed with high quality. Aviation equipment has once again confirmed its high reliability. The flight crew has gained invaluable experience, " said Lieutenant General Sergei Kobylash, Commander of the long-range aviation.
Basing of this type of aircraft at the Khmeimim airfield is carried out for the first time. This became possible as a result of the reconstruction of the second runway with a complete replacement of the coating and the installation of new lighting and radio equipment.
During the training flights, aviation equipment and equipment will be tested in difficult climatic conditions, and aircraft crews will acquire practical skills to work out training tasks in new geographical areas.
As part of the joint exercise, the air defense calculations of the ships of the permanent task force of the Russian Navy in the Mediterranean Sea, in turn, took part in training to repel enemy air attacks. According to the operational situation, the enemy aircraft received data on the location of the frigate at sea and headed for the target in order to carry out an air strike with guided missiles. The enemy with the specified characteristics was simulated electronically by the ship's weapons control system.
During the training, the ship's calculations of combat information posts detected and classified the target, and the air defense calculations when the conditional aircraft approached the target range destroyed it with electronic launches of anti-aircraft missiles, thereby preventing a missile strike on the ships.
According to the plan of the exercise, five ships of the Russian Navy (including the missile cruiser "Moscow", the frigates "Admiral Essen" and "Admiral Makarov"), as well as two submarines "Stary Oskol" and "Rostov-on-Don" together with anti-submarine aircraft Tu-142MK, Il-38, long-range bombers Tu-22M3 and MiG-31K aircraft will perform combat training tasks to ensure the security of the Khmeimim air base and the logistics point of the Russian Navy Tartus.
