Along with aerial reconnaissance, Russian fighters and bombers began to launch targeted and targeted strikes on Islamist bases in Syria.
As it turned out, this activity had its own explanation, Free News notes.
The Russian Aerospace Forces conducted reconnaissance and bombed militant targets in Idlib province. The target of the Russian air force was the bases of illegal armed groups, where, according to available data, there could be containers with chlorine and other active chemicals.
According to intelligence reports, the militants and members of the so-called "humanitarian" organization "White Helmets" took possession of six containers of chlorine.
On the eve of the Syrian presidential election, a large-scale provocation was being prepared to disrupt the electoral process and create an excuse for NATO to launch missile strikes on the Arab Republic.
It is likely that this action was coordinated with the West, as the British Navy aircraft carrier strike group headed by the aircraft carrier "Queen Elizabeth"went to the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea.
