Russia responded harshly to the downing of its fighter jet over Turkey on Tuesday, announcing it will move an advanced defense system to a Syrian port not far from the fractured country's northern maritime border with Turkey, reports Haaretz.
In a briefing given by a senior official in the Russian army Tuesday night, Moscow announced plans to reinforce air their defenses in Syria and announced that the Russian navy is sending a cruiser - the “Moksva” - equipped with air defense systems similar to the S-300 systems to the area near Syria's coastal city of Latakia.
According to official, Lt. Gen. Sergei Rudskoy, Chief of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, all potentially dangerous targets will be destroyed.
