(Zaman al-Wasl) News is circulating that Russia is sending more fighter jets and rocket launchers to Hmemim airbase to use them in bombing Syrians in a continuation of its assault started exactly one year ago. 

Reporting from as source within the Russian Ministry of Defense, Izvestia newspaper published that Russia sent an additional number of rocket launcher Sukhoi Su-24 and Sukhoi Su-34 to Hmeimeem airport which the Russians have turned into an air force base for their warplanes to launch attacks on Syrian cities.
