President Vladimir Putin gave directions to the Defense Ministry in this regard during his surprise visit to the Hmeymim airbase in Syria on Monday.
Addressing the Russian military personnel at the base, Vladimir Putin said Russia is ready to deal a new blow to the terrorists if they again try to break peace in Syria.
He said Russia’s task force and the Syrian government troops have routed the most combat-capable grouping of international terrorists in the country.
Earlier, the Russian president was welcomed at the base by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu.
