New Russian Activity in Syria: Al-Assad Airport and Istamo Weapon Storage Facility
New satellite images from ISW partner AllSource Analysis shows new work at the Istamo Weapon Storage Facility southeast of Latakia, Syria. There is evidence of new paving/clearing operations, logistics/storage, and both Mi-17 (transport) and Ka-27/28 helos (naval with possible anti-submarine capability) in newly-paved areas.

At al-Assad Airport, we have new images of multiple aircraft – both fixed and rotary wing. There appear to be multiples of these: SU-30SM (multi-role fighter)/SU-24 (all-weather attack/interdictor)/SU-25 (close air support)/ HIND-24 (attack helicopter), and an IL-76 (strategic airlift).
