Try and act surprised.

Moscow is continuing to send military cargo flights to Syria despite Secretary of State John Kerry calling his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov over the weekend to voice “concerns” about the “imminent” buildup of Russian military forces there.

Multiple U.S. officials who have reviewed the latest intelligence in Syria told Fox News that the U.S. military is tracking multiple flights of Russia’s largest military cargo plane, the Antonov An-124 Ruslan — better known by its NATO codename, “Condor.”

This includes one flight Tuesday morning into Latakia, a Syrian port city along the Mediterranean Sea controlled by the Assad regime and home to Russian military forces.

This is the first time in months the U.S. military has seen flights of the large Russian transport planes, one official said. The official called this development “very troubling.”

In a statement released Saturday after Kerry’s call with Foreign Minister Lavrov, the State Department warned that Russia’s continued actions could “further escalate the conflict” and “risk confrontation with the anti-ISIL Coalition operating in Syria.”

The statement appeared to mark a change in policy from last week when the Pentagon and State Department initially welcomed Russia’s increased involvement in Syria.
