The Pentagon discloses that Russia conducted recee missions over Syria

The Pentagon has disclosed that says Russia has been building a forward operating air base in Latakia in northwestern Syria, and has dispatched at least 500 troops along with fighter jets, tanks, artillery and a slew of military hardware to the facility.
This has been reported in zeenews.india.com dated 26 September 2015.

Colonel Pat Ryder, the spokesman for the US military`s Central Command CENTCOM, which is overseeing efforts against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria, has made these revelations. It seems some ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) activity from Russian ISR aircraft have been seen.
The United States has indicated that it would welcome Russian involvement in the coalition fight against Islamic State jihadists. However, Moscow should steer clear of bolstering Assad`s regime by attacking moderate rebels on the ground. Any action against the common enemy of ISIS would be welcome but, if rebels are targeted, it would be a matter of concern.
