First photo of the SA-22 at the Latakia airbase.
Another photo of the KAB-500S
Definitely one of the most interesting reveals of the campaign has been that RuAF has the KAB-500S in their arsenal. Anyone have any idea to what arms contract these bombs my belong too? I remember one being signed around the time of MAKS2011 so maybe about then? Also makes you wonder what other modern munitions may have been purchased but just haven’t been used yet.
Looks like the first airstrike can be confirmed a miss as it was hit again at night this time with something a lot bigger.
Ok so now I know a few people are going to be asking where are the Su-24 that we saw in the video before right 😉 I have a bit of a theory.
There were some photos that were posted of a unmarked Su-24 in desert camo on display taken at Novosibirsk Aviation Plant about a month ago. At first I though it might of been an Ex Libya Su-24 that never got delivered.
Then was an article a read a few days ago that I found a bit odd because it stated that Syria had taken delivery of Sukhoi aircraft from Russia. (See if I can find it again) I thought it was a weird chose of words but though nothing more of it.
So what I believe is that those Su-24 that we sure in the video were’t RuAF Su-24 but in fact are new Su-24 for the Syrian Air force. Which have been flown into another base.
I also believe that the news of the MiG-35 contract for a secret customer will also indeed turn out to be Syria.
What this would means is that this Russian build up had been in the works for sometime but kept secret.
Like I said it’s just a theory so I could be completely wrong. :stupid: Maybe they just didn’t arrived yet when the satellite photo was taken. :p
There are the 12 Su-25. Like magic they appear :p
Here is the link to the article.
