Syria is repairing its Shayrat airbase damaged by Israeli Missiles on March 31, ImageSat International (iSi) published satellite photographs of the damage repair on its Twitter account.
The images were taken by the satellite Eros B. On them, one can see that runways, taxiways and navigation systems of the airbase were completely destroyed, according to the images posted on Twitter by iSi on May 1.
“After two weeks of repairing due to a massive airstrike (31 March 2020), Shayrat airbase, Syria, shows signs of returning to operational activity. It is soon to tell if Shayrat airbase will serve for weapon transfer from Iran,” Imagesat said on Twitter.
6 Syrian Mig-29 fighters were stationed in Shayrat base. It is not known if the aircraft were included in the damaged assets.
The damage of Israeli air strikes was not disclosed by Syrian government. Russian news outlet Avia.pro stated that at least 9 missiles were never intercepted by Syrian air defense systems which consist of Pantsir-S and similar close-range air defence assets.
