Syria moves all its fighter jets to Russian base

 

Syria has moved all its fighter aircraft to the Russian Hmeimim air base in Latakia three weeks after 59 US Tomahawk cruise missiles knocked out one-fifth of its air force at the Shayrat base, in retaliation for a chemical attack on civilians in Idlib. This was reported Wednesday night, April 19, by the Pentagon. The Russian high command in Syria has its seat at that base.

debkafile’s military sources report that the Syrian air force will operate henceforth under Russian protection and behind the advanced Russian S-300 and S-400 air defense shield without fear of US reprisals.

After bombers, Russian S-400s for Iranian base

And there you have it: A Russian-Turkish-Iranian axis is forming. This will likely bring in Turkey and Iran into the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, a world war axis against the United States.

The stage is being set and Ezekiel 38 and 39 are in the making. The SCO, should Iran, Turkey, India and Pakistan be included, will likely form the Biblically prophesied 200 million man army as found in Revelation 9:16.

 

 

Russian giant Antonov An-124 air freighters are ready to take off Wednesday, Aug. 17, carrying an array of advanced S-400 and S-300 air defense missiles bound for the new Russian air base just completed at Noji, 50 km from the western Iranian town of Hamedan (Biblical Shushan).

This is reported exclusively by DEBKA file from its military and intelligence sources.

Retired Gen. David Petraeus, testifying before the Senate Armed Service Committee, also recommended that the U.S. establish safe zones for Sunnis inside Syria and potentially put American boots on the grounds in Iraq to stop the spread of ISIS.
