Now this should be interesting:
According to Western diplomats, a Russian expeditionary force has already arrived in Syria and set up camp in an Assad-controlled airbase. The base is said to be in area surrounding Damascus, and will serve, for all intents and purposes, as a Russian forward operating base. In the coming weeks thousands of Russian military personnel are set to touch down in Syria, including advisors, instructors, logistics personnel, technical personnel, members of the aerial protection division, and the pilots who will operate the aircraft.

And here's another report:

It's about time someone stood up to those cowardly NATO air forces which keep bombing civilians and other defenseless people.
And what will Obama ad-Dajjal do when Russians shoot down US jets?
Nobel Peace Laureate, my ass. You have screwed things up royally.
