Satellite Imagery Shows Russian Military Buildup in Syria



New commercial satellite imagery shows in remarkable detail Russia’s escalating military buildup in Syria.

Images taken by Europe’s Pleiades satellite network and released by AllSource Analysis in collaboration with GeoNorth and Airbus clearly show four big Su-30SM Flanker-C and 12 smaller Su-25 Frogfoot fighter jets parked Sept. 20 at the al-Assad International Airport in Syria.

The Russian arsenal in Syria has grown over the past few days to include 28 ground-attack and multi-role fighters, including Su-24 Fencers, according to the Pentagon.

Russia has also deployed to the country 14 helicopters, including the Mi-24 Hind gunship and the Mi-17 Hip transport, a number of SA-22 surface-to-air missile systems, and large fixed-wing surveillance drones, according to multiple news organizations, including The Washington Post and Bloomberg.

Meanwhile, as my colleague Richard Sisk reported, the Russian embassy in Damascus was mortared on Tuesday and the U.S. remains leery of any buildup that seeks to support the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.

“We continue to believe that anything that’s done in support of the Assad regime, particularly militarily, is counterproductive and risks worsening an already bad situation,” spokesman Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, told reporters at the Pentagon.

His counterpart at the State Department, John Kirby, agreed. “If there’s a constructive role they (the Russians) want to play against ISIL, we’re willing to have that conversation,” he said, referring to militants affiliated with the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, which the U.S. is targeting with airstrikes. However, if the Russian intent is to “prop up Assad, that’s a whole different matter,” Kirby said.

Republican lawmakers last week blasted the administration’s strategy in the Middle East.

The $500 million effort begun last December to train and equip Syrian rebels in the campaign against ISIS has thus far only produced a handful of fighters actually on the ground in Syria, Army Gen. Lloyd Austin, head of U.S. Central Command, recently testified before Congress.

As it is, despite being the world’s largest archipelagic state and its fourth most populous country, Indonesia has significantly underinvested in its military relative even to its much smaller Southeast Asian neighbors. Despite sharp increases in recent years, growing from 17 trillion in 2010 to 102.3 trillion in 2015, Indonesian defense spending as a percentage of GDP was the lowest in ASEAN at 0.8 percent in 2014, well below the regional average of 2.2 percent.

8 ISIS targets hit during 20 combat flights in Syria – Russian military

doubt so

Some reports say people found fragments of a large missile with cyrillic writing near Aleppo, some are saying probably some sort of short range ballistic missile like Scud or Tochka.

Also, probably the cruise missile attack also to demonstrate to western powers Iran and Iraq are on board with Russian operations in the region. No way Russia could launch missiles all the way from the Caspian to Syria without Iran and Iraq giving Russia access to their airspace.

Russia's military overall is inferior to the USA but Russia can dominate regions



The U.S. spends nearly 10 times more than Russia on national defense. The U.S. operates 10 aircraft carriers; Russia has just one. And the U.S. military maintains a broad technological edge and a vastly superior ability to project power around the world.

Russia is now developing some key technologies, new fighting tactics and a brazen geopolitical strategy that is aggressively undermining America's 25-year claim to being the only truly global superpower. The result: Russia is unexpectedly re-emerging as America's chief military rival.

At least locally, Russia has the potential to generate superior forces.

Russia has preserved, even modernized, its own "triad" with nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles, a large fleet of long-range strike aircraft and increasingly sophisticated nuclear-armed submarines.

There are specific conventional areas where the Russians excel — among them aircraft, air defenses, submarines, and electronic warfare.

China today spends more on defense annually than Russia, but still imports platforms and advanced weaponry from Russia.

Russia's airspace also is heavily fortified. The quality of Russia's stealth aircraft is far weaker than those of the U.S., but Russia has cutting-edge anti-stealth systems, and also has invested heavily in robust surface-to-air missile systems and arrayed its forces domestically to protect its border regions

NBF- Russia can protect its airspace and borders and can project dominant power a thousand miles from its borders. Russia has over ten times the military that the US faced in the Iraq wars.

It does seem that Indonesia has a big wish list that is getting bigger every week. Despite their economy going thru a tough time, at the very least some of those items actually go through.

Meanwhile in Malaysia, sigh.

Anyone knows what happened to the heavy lift helo purchase proposal for Malaysia?
