According to Syrian media sources, the Russian government has taken measures to guarantee more security for its forces in case of possible attack regarding the recent U.S. Tomahawk air strikes on the Shayrat air base on April 7. Russian jets capable of spotting and intercepting cruise missiles are in the Eastern Mediterranean. Russian forces are ready to carry out retaliatory strikes on U.S. ships that launch cruise missiles if they attack Russian military objects (including Khmeimim and Tartus bases). Russian military advisors have arrived at the Syrian bases equipped with the anti-aircraft defense systems to assist Assad’s forces to counter cruise missiles strikes.
