Russian Navy off Syria
Military sources said that the Russian Navy has positioned three naval vessels off the Syrian coast of Lattakia in anticipation for their massive cruise missile assault on the militant groups that is likely to occur in the coming days.

The sources told Massdar that the Russian navy will play an imperative role against the militant forces, as they prepare to bombard numerous sites in Syria's Western countryside that they deem a threat to the sovereignty of the country.

According to a Syrian army source in Lattakia, the Russian naval vessels can be seen from the shores of the aforementioned provincial capital; this was confirmed by more than one source in the province.

The source added that the Russian navy has prepared their long range cruise missiles to be fired into the country from the Mediterranean Sea.
