Russia able to ramp up military presence in Syria at short-notice if needed

 

Russia can ramp up its military presence in Syria at short-notice when needed, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Friday.

 

“When the decision to reduce our air grouping in Syria was taken, you remember the statements made by our military and the president, who said that the infrastructure is temporary and it is staying there. Therefore the grouping can be expanded very quickly if necessary,” Peskov told reporters.
