The Russian Khmeimim Air Base on the Syrian coast sustained no damage at all as a result of the October 3 suspected Israeli strikes, a satellite image released by Obretix, a defense observer on the X social networks, shows.
The strikes targeted warehouses located right on the M1 coastal highway, nearly one kilometer to the west of Khmeimim and more than two kilometers to the northeast of the town of Jableh.
The warehouses were allegedly being used as a temporary ammunition depot. A series of blasts lasted for nearly an hour after the strikes. The M1 highway was badly damaged. While Khmeimim was not hit, the strikes clearly endangered the air base.

Neither the Syrian or Russian militaries have released any statement clarifying what exactly happened between Khmeimim and Jableh.
There was also no comment from the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), which does not usually claim responsibility for its attack against Syria.
Israel escalated its attacks on Syria significantly since the outbreak of the war in the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip, targeting Syrian military sites as well as personnel of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Lebanon’s Hezbollah and other factions of the so-called Axis of Resistance.
Earlier this week, the IDF announced that it will work to prevent the supply of any weapons from Iran to Hezbollah through the Lebanese-Syrian border.

this was a clear message from zionist state to russia and i can’t trust the russian or syrian that there was no damage at all! the boll is in russian yard, if russia backs down, zionists will gain confidence and will be more aggressive!
oh yes, no damage to a russian air base in syria after israel destroyed an ammunition depot just 400 meters from the planes. now the russians can throw toothpicks at western proxies. but it will be very effective, still much more effective than if they just sit back and do farts and make speeches at the un security council
as expected by everyone, russian air defense systems are completely useless 🇷🇺=🤡 😆😆😆
those zionist criminals use lebanese airspace for their attacks on syria they dare not fly over syria.
dream on yankeedoodledandy, tom sawyer just a figment of imagination just as the comment made. the reality of ad working is seen by all the ukr attack attempts being taken down.
they are not useless, they work perfectly in ukraine, but putin and netanyahu have “gentleman agreement” that means israel is allowed to do anything to iranian, hezbollah and syrian, total impunity and this has nothing to do with ukraine war because this agreement is from 2015!
something really happened, what is not clear but maybe that is why netanyahoo was urgently calling putin to tell him that isr made mistake when gallant and smotrich ordered a strike on the russian base in syria. that is why one does not see gallant or smotrich in the news recently.
we know what the vaunted us/nato group would do if russia retaliated against israel…nothing, absolutely nothing.
let’s wait and see if any yankee warehouses get blown up by drones in syria, and if they blame isis, as they like to do
