Some source reported about deploying command and control systems on main military naval bases and military airfields.

Russian defence officials refused to comment on any moving of troops.

Some experts attribute this to the fear of a possible US and NATO invasion of Syria after an alleged chemical attack on a Syrian rebel-held town.

The vehicles of war, and the Russian missiles moving across the country. These actions are more visible in the west near the borders with Ukraine and Belarus, in the region of Transbaikal as well as in the Middle East.

On 8 and 9 April, we were witnesses of the movement of vehicles for transportation of troops as well as missiles, ground-to-ground Russian Iskander, reported Al-Masdar News. Some sources have reported the deployment of systems for command and control on the main maritime facilities and the Russian air. And this, while the Russian authorities have failed to deal with it.

According to some experts, these actions can be explained by the apprehension of a possible attack by the United States and NATO against Syria under the pretext of the recent allegations about the chemical attack in Douma.
