In the media there were reports of new attacks on Syria.

It was alleged that allegedly under bombardment was the airfield Shairat in the province of Homs.

At the same time, air defense forces repulsed the attack, but information about the attack was not confirmed. Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee Yury Shvytkin believes that such provocative messages are beneficial to both Russia and the United States.

According to him, the benefit of Russia is to demonstrate its superiority in armament: the Syrians fought back thanks to Russian air defense.

Americans have their own interest. "If the Americans launched, then, respectively, in order to show that they did not give up," - quotes him RIA Novosti,. At the same time, the MP stressed that the coalition led by the United States will necessarily attack Syria in the near future. The United States, Britain and France attacked Syrian government facilities on April 14, allegedly used to produce chemical weapons. They fired more than 100 missiles, but 71 shot down anti-aircraft missiles.
