Khmeimim

From Mick: "There is only one nation that would pronounce Humeimim Airfield Khmeimim...and it isn't an Arab one. At least they didn't say they used Khezbollah as a source.
"Russia has carried out more than 4,000 airstrikes since the beginning of its intervention in Syria, using a force of modern and modified Soviet-era aircraft. Russia has at least 32 fixed-wing aircraft and 16 helicopters at the Khmeimim air base near Latakia, an Assad stronghold on the Mediterranean Sea just 30 miles from the Turkish border."
