The Times of Israel quoted the ImageSat International saying its EROS B satellite captured photos of two vehicle-mounted SS-26 “Iskander” missile launchers in northern Syria. The launchers are located in the Syrian army’s Latakia airbase.

Two other launchers had also been spotted at the base, it added.
The Iskander is a mid-range missile capable of carrying nuclear warheads, with a range of 400-500 kilometers.
The de-facto state of Israel has serious concerns over the missile launcher deployment, for which Russia refrained considering providing Iskander missiles to the Syrian President Bashar Assad.
