Syrian Defense Delegation Visits Russian Military Facilities in Moscow
A Syrian military delegation led by Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Ali Al-Naasan visited Russia’s Central Armed Forces Military Park in Moscow. The group inspected air defense systems, combat and reconnaissance drones, and heavy weaponry as part of efforts to deepen military cooperation and enhance Syria’s defense capabilities.
Senior Syrian commanders—including heads of air defense, artillery, and armored units—held joint meetings with Russian counterparts to discuss training, operational experience, and combat readiness.
The visit highlights the strategic military dimension of Syria-Russia relations, beyond politics. With key Russian bases in Syria like Hmeimim and Tartus, Moscow aims to secure its long-term presence by offering military support and specialized training to Syrian forces.
