Russian military builds new runway in east Syria as ISIS flees Mosul
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Russian Air Force has built a new runway at the T-4 Military Airport in eastern Homs after reports of several Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
fighters fleeing the large Iraqi city of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
for Syria.

Prior to the Islamic State's massive counter-offensive in the al-Sha'er region of east Homs, the Russian Air Force was actively using the T-4 Military Airport as a command center to advise the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in the area.

due to the increased security risks near the T-4 Airport, the Russian military advisors moved their command post to Palmyra and most of their aircraft to the Hmaymim Airport in west Latakia.

With ISIS fleeing Mosul for eastern Syrial, the Russian Air Force has made the decision to beef up their air presence around the Deir Ezzor Governorate in anticipation for this influx of terrorists.
