The deployment of Russian Kalibr cruise missiles, and in the future, the Zircon cruise hypersonic missiles in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea, puts almost all American military bases located in the Middle East at risk.
Obviously, it is for this reason that the Russian military command is interested in using the Syrian Tartus for its base.
Taking into account the range of hitting sea and land targets, Russian ships and submarines can deliver an extremely unexpected blow to American military bases and facilities in the Middle East and ships located in the Persian Gulf.
Today, according to even the American side, there are no US air defense systems on the territory of Syria and Afghanistan, which allows Russian cruise missiles to travel up to 2.5 thousand kilometers without hindrance in order to hurriedly hit almost any target.
In turn, experts note that if Sudan still grants Russia the right to build a naval base, then Russia's target coverage area will increase even more, however, so far the relations between Khartoum and Moscow indicate that a naval base in Sudan will not appear, writes Avia.pro.
