the two countries to date, the latest delivery between the two allies
that could further change the stakes in the Middle East, U.S. officials
told Fox News on Wednesday.

The shipment of 50 SS-21 short-range ballistic
missiles arrived at the Syrian port of Tartus along the Mediterranean

The SS-21, which comes in different types, has a range of roughly 100 miles.
Russia has fired two SS-21 missiles and four
longer-range SS-26 Iskander missiles in the past two days into Syria’s
Idlib province against "opposition" fighters, according to those
officials. It was not immediately clear whether the U.S. was backing any
of those fighters.
