Due to non-compliance by the militants with the ceasefire, refusal to withdraw arms and non-compliance by the Turkish side with the agreements of March 5, Russia resumed sending its front-line bombers Su-24 to Syria, writes avia.pro. 

According to some reports, over the past day, Russia has already sent two Su-24 bombers to the Khmeimim airbase. It is reported that the planes were sent on a  standard  route through Iran with planned refueling from two Il-78 tankers  over the waters of the Caspian. Apparently, the transfer of bombers is a signal that Russia will not tolerate the behavior of militants and Turkey. It is known that recently Russia delivered an ultimatum to Turkish terrorists that by early April, the M 4 highway in Idlib province should be open to Russian military patrols.

It should be said that the flight of bombers from the Khmeimim airbase to Russia was not recorded, which may indicate an increase in the forces of the Russian airborne forces in Syria. 

The evening courier notes that the military operation in Syria was the first in the history of Russia when the Russian military took part in hostilities outside the former USSR.
