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
the article talks about the warehouse being “nearly one kilometer” from the airbase. that is nearly 1,000 meters. for comparison, the u.s. made 2,000 lbs bomb has a blast radius of 320 meters.
whether there was any damage or not, shlomo badly needs a good bitchslapping. time to shoot down any of his little aeroplanes coming anywhere near into range.
russia seems to have a problem detecting aircraft, drones & buildup of military equipment near its borders.. they may want to work on that problem..!
the russians like to play the game “let them get closer” so we can make better mash video posts of the enemy exploding…
it seems obvious what will happen is the russians will pick up ammo on the return flight from a weapons delivery run to tehran. then bring the load in to syria on one of their own delivery runs to khmeimen for their own forces. then secret the load into a syrian wearhouse on a midnight delivery run.
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!
relations are deteriorating, in my opinion. the following day after the attack on syria: russia issued public statements calling for its citizens to leave israel. and i am sure russia took additional asymmetric measures.
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.
nothing would include a blanket denial of damage in the western press, followed by a hug fest money toss at bibi in congress to keep their lil zionazi bitch as happy as the blackmailing gangster that he is…
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
israel has humiliated russia again!!!
heheheh
if they have it’s not a wise move. poking the bear tends to end rather badly for anyone who tries it. ask n. bonaparte esquire or a certain austrian gentleman. ask all the eu clowns on the verge of economic and social collapse. putin has tried to maintain reasonable relations with talmudistan – an awful lot of jews, pseudo jews and khazars there are originally from russia. but this is changing. russia and china and iran are now in a de facto alliance. the zios are living on borrowed time.
totally humiliated, like that time in kurst last week when spetzna liquided 50+ zionist campers squatting on russian territory with their israeli flags and nazi tat…
all drones/ missliles of ukraine and russia are shot down. never any significant damage anywhere.
irans missiles all were shot down and just hitthe desert. israels attack on the russian base did no damage. well if nothing ever hits why do you fight? would be pointtless so perhaps you should all be a bit more creative and not lie all the time so perhaps someone might believe it when you say something.
militaries lie: to keep morale high and to allow time for strategic responses without having waste time to answer questions and concerns by domestic sources …
why are the israeli air bases and seaports where all the weapons the us send to israel are never targeted by hamas or hezbollah ??? israel has nuclear weapons why isn’t the plutonium fuel storage targeted ???
how do you know it hasn’t been? the b(otty) b(angers) c(lub) and the daily torygraph aren’t going to tell us if it has.
yup… the (b)ritish (b)ullshit (c)ompamy would white wash anything for bibi… haifa refinery might still be burning to the ground for all we know and there wouldn’t be a peep about in the uk… starmer would jail a mouse for 10 years if it farted loud enough to upset the zionazi bitches he works for…putting up stickers exposing kalergi gets you 2 years with extra torture.
russia needs to finally put down the demonic $atnic chosenite turd stinking up the region. this is ridiculous allowing the rabid zionazi entity to pi$$ all over the m.e.
a couple of sarmats or a poseidon should disinfect the holy land of its zio infestation permanently.
yeah yeah yeah…. that’s what i’m talking about, let’s help keep the mystique of albert pike’s predictions rolling…flatten israel now…
everybody is pointing at the idf , but what about the regional usual suspects ? hts and their good friend abu dhahnov al yukraynii ? the slava ouakbar gang playing with drones again ?
i expected this article (and the title) at rt not here? is sf owned by the small hats same as rt?
since the small hats own most of the tech companies who host everything in western speaking internet i guess they have to fullfill a quota to not be kicked of the servers. for the same reason some people here seem to not have limited textlenghts or number of posts expecially those who troll all the time and insult russia and iran.
russia is helping the zio nazi terrorist jewscum and is giving them information and permission to bomb syrian territory. what an ally.
