We've more military means in Syria: Putin

Russian President Vladimir Putin says he has "more military means" at his disposal to use in Syria - if needed.

The Russian armed forces have not employed all their capability in Syria and may use "more military means" there if necessary, Russian news agencies have quoted President Vladimir Putin as saying.

"We see how efficiently our pilots and intelligence agents coordinate their efforts with various kinds of forces - the army, navy and aviation, how they use the most modern weapons," Putin was quoted as saying in a speech on Saturday.

"I want to stress that these are by far not all of our capabilities," he said.

"We have more military means. And we will use them - if need be."
