A leading defence research group has distributed what it says is satellite imagery that suggests Syria may be preparing to receive Russian forces.
IHS Jane's said on Tuesday that images dated a day earlier show construction of new buildings, surface clearing, the grading of terrain and the presence of tents like those used by Russian military units at the Istamo weapons storage complex and Al Sanobar military complex north of the Syrian coastal city of Latakia.
The publication says images also showed "a substantial increase in fast jets stationed on the runway."
