The possible appearance of a Russian air base in northern Syria is reported

On the territory of the Syrian province of Raqqah, a helicopter base may appear. It can be shared between the Russian Aerospace Forces and the Syrian Air Force.

This was reported by the news agency of the so-called Syrian opposition Step News Agency. The agency, in turn, refers to information from its source, who serves in the militia of the National Defense Forces, which assists the Syrian government forces.

According to this information, a joint inspection of the Russian and Syrian military in the province of Rakka has recently taken place. They visited the surroundings of the city of Madan, located 50 kilometers southeast of the center of the province, the city of Raqqi. Presumably, in this place the air base will be organized.

The creation of helipads and related infrastructure here will allow the Russian and Syrian military to quickly transport the necessary cargo to the area by air. In addition, helicopters based here will be able to provide dense air support to units of the Syrian Arab army operating in the province against militants of the IS terrorist organization banned in Russia.

There are currently no official comments on this subject.

And we got a chance to establish peace in Syria at the moment when the Syrian government invited us, and we successively take this chance, destroying militants and helping the Syrian people. Therefore, it is not clear what point do you mean?

Well, you understand that only cats are born quickly. And with such "assistants" in the fight against terrorists as the United States, the SA and Turkey, these are the Syrians who are "ahead of schedule", one might say, work.

That is, it may take another decade for the United States and Turkey are not going to go anywhere

We’ll create a helicopter base in northern Syria together with the Syriacs, etc. Turkey and Israel have quieted down, isn't that a moment?

Is Israel quiet? Precisely megalomania

this is the submission of the Kurds, soft, with a buzzing, somewhere over the horizon, helicopters. - exit to the east bank of the Euphrates. there was an attempt at crossing and shelling by "extremists" of our observer generals.

As I understand it, the helicopter base is needed first of all by the Syrian NE, since the helicopters of the SAR (except the Navy) all lie on the ground in the form of burnt skeletons from the first years of the mess in the SAR ...
Accordingly, Russian helicopters and their crews, the ATS aircraft want to solve the mobility problem of their MTR ...
Widespread use of helicopters in the ATS including on an unprepared theater of operations in a rapidly changing operational environment will lead to large losses among military personnel of the RF Armed Forces ....
The ATS aircraft were not previously seen in the successful use of airborne assault forces ....
Most likely, the Soviet experience in the use of air assault units, including in the mountains ... I won’t be surprised that there will be bearded people from the IRGC of Iran .... and pro-Iranian militants from Palestine and Afghanistan as paratroopers on Russian helicopters ...
You can imagine in advance (if you have successful experience) how Israeli Jews, Turks and Americans will rave ...

Not only. They want aviation support too. As practice has shown, the army of the SAR at least something can only with the support of Russian aviation.

alas, and this is so if the base is created.
It is not clear why we need it? If you teach the "Syrian comrades" - then you need to create a training center. We can provide them with technology, why climb ourselves? Rather, why climb halfway - and then in fact shoot at the Turks no way, at the Jews - too. "Friends", however. But faith allows them. And if there is a common base - wait for gifts ...
Or fit in to the full, or not to climb at all. We’ll get the cap anyway, so in the first case there will be at least some sense, not for nothing.

You read my thoughts, neither began to write about it and about what was written from the "hurray-patriots" I caught the minuses ...
Meanwhile, I hope that I'm wrong ... here on a related site I found a fresh article

Syrian media report that Russia transferred ten Mi-24P helicopters to the Syrian army. These shock combat vehicles have always been actively involved in hostilities against terrorists. Pilots selflessly performed their work, despite the difficult conditions, sometimes at the cost of their own lives.

https://topcor.ru/14202-smi-rossija-peredala-sirii-desjat-udarnyh-vertoletov.html
so that not only our flight crew, but also the Syrian will suffer losses (from this the truth is not easier) ...

The Syrian opposition will go through the forest, like other goodies.
And real good came to Syria with fists.
The result will be a stable and independent Syria.

While Bashar al-Assad lives or rules. And the power will change and have to get out of Syria. The cases are fully documented in history. Egypt, Afghanistan, Vietnam and further on the list

Remember.

So the first Syrians shot - this is the trick

So they tried to fight like that in Israel. So the guys "with cuts" as it were not too hospitable

[Dikson]

And how many people and air defense systems will be needed to protect and cover the new base? How many times a week are Hmeimim bombarded? Helicopters burn much easier than airplanes ...

[Keeping]

We had 100 helicopters ...
Sent to Syria 10
90 remaining
Combat and non-combat losses 5
Replenished these 5 helicopters
85 are left at home
We are making another base in Syria
So another minus ten helicopters
Total 75 helicopters at home ...
This is of course rude and figurative, but I think the meaning is clear.

In the periodicals I read that AA brigades (district subordination) and AA brigades (army subordination) are being created in the RF Armed Forces, respectively, if you select 5-7 helicopters from each unit, you can imagine how many helicopter bases can be created in the ATS (and not only ) ...
In essence, such seconded helicopters will temporarily form AA Groups on non-equipped (or equipped) theater of operations, through which all the flight technical personnel of the AA VKS of the Russian Federation can be driven ...
United States Armed Forces had similar AA Groups during the twentieth ...
In order to reduce losses, the personnel of such bases can be mixed from Russian military and local comrades ...
ours will be involved in complex operations on a local routine ...

Workers from the helicopter plant will say together - give old helicopters to Syria! Give the construction of new missing helicopters!
And they will be very right. So everything is done right.

[nikon7717]

MO will add. You give the continuation of the break-in of new models of helicopters in combat conditions! And the production will say yes. Such a run-in quickly reveals all the imperfections and allows us to lay down new directions for development, requirements for new generations

Under Assad, there will be no peace in Syria. Unless Assad will physically destroy or force to leave the country a large part of the population, except for his clan and his supporters; and even that - it will be a world on foreign bayonets.
But who, besides the population itself, seriously needs peace in Syria?
First of all, he is desirable for Turkey: peace (and, therefore, a strong central government) means the tranquility of the Syrian Kurds, causing Turkey serious problems - so much so that Erdogan decided on an unpopular and costly ground operation. It is also desirable to a large extent to Israel - it is more advisable to negotiate with a single and plenipotentiary Syrian leadership than with motley, little controlling gangs. However, for various reasons, both of these countries seek to take as little as possible participation in the intra-Syrian conflict, and in the case of Israel it is not participation as such, but targeted operations by the Air Force to destroy key figures of Hezbollah, the IRGC and Iranian military depots. Thus, the establishment of peace cannot be declared as the ultimate goal of these states.
At the same time, the world is sharply disadvantageous to Iran, which in conditions of instability feels in Syria like a fish in water. It is clear that the government, which fully controls its territory, along with its powers, assumes responsibility, and is unlikely to tolerate a threat to stability - the traffic of weapons through its territory and other people's quasi-war formations.
And finally - it is difficult, unfortunately, to argue that peace in this - and indeed tormented - country would be desirable .. to us. Unlike officially stated, the non-public goals of our presence in Syria are not limited to a certain period. Truly, and not in high-profile statements, ending the militants in Syria is not easy - but still, it is a matter of time. But the creation and maintenance of the air and ground bridgehead of the counteraction of the Western coalition in the BV — such a task does not imply a limited time frame.
Gratitude in politics is an oxymoron. In this regard, the leadership of Syria is not at all different from everyone else: as soon as a lasting peace in Syria is established, they will immediately indicate a way out with a polite smile. And then the result of our military presence will be another geopolitical failure. Therefore, at least peace should not be hoped for at least in Syria; and certainly it does not depend on the number and location of helicopter bases.

I understand what you are driving at. In your opinion, a stable peace will come if bearded men with machine guns seize power. Because this is precisely the goal of Turkey and Israel. How it ends - take a look at Libya. There, the US and the EU have already achieved "peace". What they wanted.

[Iris]

Peace by definition cannot come if power is seized by "bearded guys" - not only in Syria, but nowhere. And nothing in my comment gives grounds to draw the conclusion you proposed.

[Hourly]

Or maybe just a missile base? That would start howling)))

[sanik2020]

After the Turkish invasion of Syria, it is necessary to reduce the reaction time to possible challenges, and therefore such a base is needed. And then, while the aircraft arrives in time, a mountain of corpses can remain on the ground and the front line will change more than once.
