New satellite images from ISW partner AllSource Analysis shows new work at the Istamo Weapon Storage Facility southeast of Latakia, Syria. There is evidence of new paving/clearing operations, logistics/storage, and both Mi-17 (transport) and Ka-27/28 helos (naval with possible anti-submarine capability) in newly-paved areas.

At al-Assad Airport, we have new images of multiple aircraft — both fixed and rotary wing. There appear to be multiples of these: SU-30SM (multi-role fighter)/SU-24 (all-weather attack/interdictor)/SU-25 (close air support)/ HIND-24 (attack helicopter), and an IL-76 (strategic airlift).
