MOSCOW: Russia may consider supplying S-300 missile systems to Syria and other countries, Colonel-General Sergei Rudskoi said on Saturday after US, French and British air strikes on Syria.

Rudskoi said the US actions in Syria were aimed at destabilising the situation in the region.

The situation in Damascus and other towns and cities in Syria is calm now, Rudskoi said.

Meanwhile, reports suggest that French Mirage and Rafale fighter jets were involved in air strikes on Syria together with four frigate warships.

This included an air defence frigate, three multi-mission frigates, Mirage 2000 jets, Rafale, AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) and support and supply assistance.
