Again a big noise from Syria. On January 6, a massive attack by unmanned aerial vehicles on Russian bases in Syria was foiled. In total, 13 vehicles took part in the attack, 10 in Khmeimim and 3 in Tartus.
Six goals managed to take control by the Russian means of electronic warfare. 3 of these was landed in controlled territory outside the base, and 3 more UAVs was detonated from a collision with the ground.
Seven UAVs were destroyed by "Pantsir-S" of Russian air defense.
No UAV has achieved the targets, no injured and no damage.
In my opinion, this is the world's first case of such a mass attack by homemade UAVs by terrorists. It is very pleasant that our air defense forces were ready to repel such a raid with such complex targets.
Although against this background, new questions arise to attack Khmeimim on December 31\. The official version with mortar shelling is not the best way to explain all the facts. But the fact that it could be a trial attack using UAV, to repel an attack which was then not ready - is more interesting.
Here are photos with intercepted "gifts" from ISIS.
Here is a local resident demonstrating the wreckage of one of the destroyed vehicles.
