To retreat from the Syrian Republic, the Russians deployed a caravan of military transport ships, which are loading the remnants of troops, weapons, and military equipment.
Several An-124 and Il-76MD aircraft are scheduled to fly from the Khmeimim airbase to the Ulyanovsk, Chkalovsky, and Privolzhsky airfields.
The aggressor state is also attracting additional fleet facilities: in particular, the city of Baltiysk ordered the preparation of the dry cargo ship Sparta II and the large landing ship Alexander Shabalin for departure to Tartus.
The large landing ships of the Northern Fleet of Russia, Alexander Otrakovsky and Ivan Green, set course for the Mediterranean Sea.
The enemy frigates Admiral Gorshkov and Admiral Golovko are also participating in Operation Syrian Retreat.
The Russians are carrying out an emergency dismantling of equipment and military assets in the port of Tartus. Several hundred Russian special forces have already arrived there to ensure the safety of the retreat.
The aggressor state is probably counting on agreements with anti-government forces for an unhindered withdrawal from Syria. Even representatives of the so-called Moscow diplomacy no longer call the rebel groups against the Assad regime “terrorists,” but demonstrate neutral, even “sweet” public rhetoric.
Meanwhile, frustration and oppression continue among the remnants of the Russian contingent in Syria - Muscovites are even expressing dissatisfaction with their leaders and commanders, in particular their organizational incompetence. One of the military bases with Russian troops is under siege.
Meanwhile, Israeli Navy destroys Syrian Fleet in Latakia.
