Russia Withdraws from Syria, Removes S-400 Systems Amid Talks with Rebels
Dec 13, 2024, 12:30 PM
Russia is reportedly withdrawing or redeploying its military forces in Syria, with large convoys of over 100 military vehicles moving through Latakia towards key bases at Khmeimim Air Base and the naval facility in Tartus. Satellite images and local sources indicate that Russia is packing up military equipment, including the S-400 air defense system, and consolidating troops from smaller outposts. Mikhail Bogdanov, Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister, announced that Russia is in constructive talks with the rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) to maintain its military bases in Syria. German military analysts report that Russian forces are preparing for a complete withdrawal. Syrian soldiers are reportedly excluded from the retreating Russian convoys. Additionally, heavy-lift aircraft such as An-124 planes have been observed at Khmeimim Air Base, suggesting equipment is being flown out. These developments suggest a significant shift in Russia's military presence in Syria, raising concerns over security guarantees and the future of its bases in the region.
