Israeli spy satellite finds cache of advanced Russian missiles in Syria: report

An Israeli spy satellite discovered a cache of Russian-made short-range ballistic missiles in Syria, according to a report by Israel's Channel 2 on Friday, seemingly corroborating western intelligence agencies' suspicions that some the most advanced missiles in the Syrian regime's arsenal have been provided by Russia.

High definition photographs taken by Israel's Eros B satellite clearly show a stockpile of "Iskander" missiles on trucks inside an army base in Latakia in western Syria.

Prior to these images, there was little evidence that Russia had provided the Syrian regime with such missiles.

But strong rainstorms forced Russia to transfer the missiles from secret locations, thus allowing them to be captured by the satellite, the Jerusalem Post reported.
