A group of Russian Su-24M bomber jets has landed at airbase in Russia's Chelyabinsk region.
The planes performed a traditional tight-formation low-altitude flight to greet their colleagues and families at the airbase.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia is starting the withdrawal of its air group from Syria as conditions for internal political process in the country have been created.
"The Russian air campaign in Syria has created all necessary conditions for internal political settlement of the Syrian conflict," Peskov told reporters.
"The pullout schedule is the responsibility of the Russian Defense Ministry," Peskov said, adding that Russia will maintain the airbase in Hmeimim and the naval facility in Tartus in order to continue the monitoring of ceasefire regime.
