The General Staff of Russia’s armed forces has blamed Ukraine of complicity in the recent attack on its airbase in Syria involving explosives-packed UAVs, an UNIAN correspondent in Russia reported referring to Major General Alexander Novikov, head of UAV construction and development department of the General Staff.
Russian forces have foiled a drone attack on an airbase in Syria just days after reports that rebel shelling had damaged several planes, activists say, according to the BBC.
Two Russian servicemen were killed when Hmeymim Air Base in Syria came under mortar fire on December 31, according to the Russian news agency RIA Novosti, referring to the Russian Defense Ministry.
