Syrian and Russian military jets jointly patrolled the airspace along Syria’s borders on Monday and plan to make such flights regular, the Interfax news agency quoted Russia’s defense ministry as saying.
The path of the group, which includes fighter, fighter-bomber and early warning and control aircraft, included the Golan Heights, the line which has seen repeated Israeli aerial aggressions against Syria.
Russian forces have been present in Syria since 2015 under a request by the Syrian Government in order to help Damascus in its war on terror.
