Russia Sends Missile System to Tartus Base
(BBC News) Russia has sent an S-300 air defense missile system to its naval base in Syria's port of Tartus, to guarantee the security of the base from the air, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said. It joins another sophisticated anti-aircraft system, the S-400, already in place at the Russian air base near Latakia. On Monday, the U.S. halted talks with Russia on trying to co-ordinate air strikes against jihadists in Syria. A ceasefire brokered by Washington and Moscow collapsed last month.
