    We have zero confirmation of any actual aircraft damage. The location of the two casualties is not obviously in the middle of the tarmac either.

    Reports that the mortar attack came from a 2B9 Vasilka automatic 82mm mortar most likely canceled in a trailer or back of a large truck.

    Is there a source?

    Regarding the reports about damaged aircraft, it's likely there was some damage (irrespective whether the photos are legit or not) since the mortar attack has been confirmed

    Can't fault the "rebels" for trying. Good strategy. Anything they get is a plus.

    Russians should do what they must to protect their assets.

    Stock footage filler. Still do not know where and when from anything given so far.

    America can readily give us all the "proof" that is needed if 7 jets were totaled. Private high resolution satellite photography companies
    exist. Syria is not overcast 24/7.

    From the "evidence" so far it was nothing more than a terrorist style attack. The "rebels" are not capable of opening up any
    new front in Latakia and are certainly unable to inflict significant damage on Russian assets. Coverage of this event
    shows the usual strains of anti-Russian BS. Russia apparently fails if the "rebels" can do a token amount of damage.
    But Russia never wins even though the jihadis are losing and we are going to see the remaining jihadi pockets cleaned
    out by the end of the year.

    And nobody is claiming credit for this

    Looks like they are seriously shitting their pants

    They tried probably without believing that they would even hit anything, they landed couple of shots somehow and now they don't know what to do because they never planned this far ahead

    How to take credit without getting erased from existence?

    Whatever the damage done to the airbase was or wasn't, this doesn't amount to a hill of beans in the end. In two months time it'll be pretty much forgotten. In regard to base security, some adjustments will be made within and without. It was probably inevitable something like this would occur at some point. I'm only surprised it took this long. But, what's the casualty ratio at this point, roughly, something like 1000+ to 1 vs. Russians? Long term, that's in no way sustainable... for the terrorists.

    As for what group is specifically responsible, doubt it much matters either. All terrorist groups are being rolled up. Those in the northwest are in particular focus right now -- HTS, etc. Inevitably, whoever did it will get it. It's possible they already have.

    When you consider that these rats are worthless meat in the grand scheme of things, anything they get off the Russians is, like I said, a PLUS. For those behind them that's the metric of success = How much can these rats hurt the opposing side. Anything, insignificant as one might think it's, is, in effect, a return on investment.

    That's how they think, which is why they go through the trouble of doing so. The optics are perhaps, a bigger return on investment than the actual deed...as you described. Sweet bonus.

    The days of one bomb at a time seem to have gone now. This lot, clearly intended to be landing in close proximity, is going to really ruin someone's day.

    Allegedly another drone shot down over Latakia.

    Rebels increasingly use weaponized drones to hit Regime positions in #Latakia CS & #Russia|n Airbase in #Khmeimim. Another one reportedly shot down today over Jablah after several missiles targeted it. At least 3rd one ine a week.

    I don't believe terrorist propaganda, yet I think this could very well happen due to lack of protection for jets as seen in footage. I believe even if those rumours are fake some kind of security measure will be taken.

    No, it is not a stock footage, it was shot in 2018, and they invited journalists from multiple channels who filmed that exact Su-24 that was on the photos, obviously with an intent to show that it is fine.

    The claim about 7 destroyed aircraft is obviously bullshit, most likely a few Su-24's were scratched and were repaired in a short time.

    Somehow:-|, they are within range of base. I agree with papas suggestion: buy out areas close to base and demolish them. Or start putting up military units in surrounding areas.
