Defence minister Sergei Shoigu visiting Khmeimim airbase. When Shoigu was down there he listened to the Commander of the forces in Syria Colonel General Alexander Dvornikov on the current situation on the performance of tasks destroying terrorist infrastructure. He also met with Pilots conducting the strikes and security forces defending the base as well as seeing the S-400 sights. This was back in June.

Today at 10:55 in the morning, the Zeliony Dol and Serpukhov small-sized missile ships of the Black Sea Fleet during the combat maneuvering performed 3 launches of cruise missiles Kalibr from fire positions in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea against facilities of the Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist grouping in Syria.
As a result, a command centre and a terrorist base near the Dar-Taaza inhabited area as well as a plant manufacturing mortar munitions and a large depot with armament were destroyed in the Aleppo province.

The objective monitoring data confirmed the elimination of the planned targets.

For the security of civilians, the flight path of the cruise missiles was planned over uninhabited territories.

The Russian Khmeimim airbase will be converted into a Permanent base with a Permanently deployed Task Force with extended Operational Capabilities. The modernization of it's infrastructure, air traffic control systems and modernization of the airfield will help accommodate all types of military aircraft including strategic aviation. Strategic bombers will not be permanently stationed there. New Quarters and a hospital will be built to keep the security forces deployed there comfortable. Military engineers will broaden parking spaces and shelters for aircraft. A area will be formed so AN-124s and Il-76s can land without interrupting airstrike missions. Protected positions will be emplaced for Pantsir-S1s and S-400s deployed there to protect the base from airstrikes and Rocket attacks.
