Russia is not planning to deploy additional air bases in Syria as there is no need for this, the Russian Defense Ministry’s official spokesman, Igor Konashenkov, said.
"One doesn't need be a military expert to understand that the flight of any Russian plane to any remote area of Syria from the Kmeimim air base takes 30-40 minutes. So there is no urgent need to deploy additional Russian air bases on Syria’s territory," TASS cited him as saying.
