The militants again tried to attack the Russian Hmeimim air base
According to Bakin, another attempt to attack the Russian base Khmeimim occurred on the night of 12 in July of this year. From the territory of the Idlib de-escalation zone, three UAVs were launched towards the base, which, at a safe distance from the territory of the air base, were detected by air defense systems and destroyed. There are no material and material damage at the base itself, the air base functions normally.
- said the general.
As previously reported, the militants do not stop trying to strike at the Russian air base, periodically launching drones in its direction and striking from MLRS installations. The air defense forces and means of the base successfully cope with threats, shooting down missiles and drones on the fly. The bulk of the strikes are delivered from the territory of the Idlib de-escalation zone, where the remnants of terrorists have taken refuge.
Recall that protection from air attacks in the near zone of the air defense of the Khmeimim airbase is carried out by the Pantsyr air defense missile system and the Tor-M2 air defense system, and the far zone is covered by the C-400 air defense system.
