The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation denied the information about the evacuation of personnel from a military base in Syrian Tartus

Russia for some time will not use the naval base in the Syrian city of Tartus. However, she is not going to finally abandon the use of this military base in the future. In addition, the Russian authorities have determined the basic principles on which to base relations with Syria in the military sphere: the Russian Federation will continue to support the regime of President Bashar Al-Assad both at the humanitarian and informational levels and in the political sphere. Moscow’s plans do not contain any major supplies of Damascus weapons, as reported by sources in the diplomatic department who participated in negotiations with the Syrian authorities that took place this week in Moscow.

This largely explains the unexpected collapse of the naval group assembled in the Mediterranean, which included the Northern, Baltic and Black Sea fleets, as well as a change in the plans of the General Staff associated with the call of the ships of the Northern fleet into the waters of the Black Sea.

A source in the Russian defense ministry noted that the ship grouping of the Russian Federation looks like a dwarf compared to the maritime groups of NATO countries that have concentrated in the Mediterranean. The source also said that by military means, our naval base in the Syrian Tartus cannot be maintained. Russia cannot by military means prevent countries supporting the Syrian opposition.

At the same time, this source refuted the emerging media reports about the evacuation of the personnel of the base in Tartus due to the exacerbation of the situation in the western part of Syria. Representatives of the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet confirmed the same thing, stating that the situation in Tartus remained calm. The work of the personnel of the PMTO (point of logistics) is carried out in the usual mode.

Sources in the Ministry of Defense claim that Russia is supporting Damascus with both military-diplomatic methods and intelligence. If the situation in Syria deteriorates sharply, Russia, using a military transport Aviation, will evacuate all personnel from the PMTO.

The naval point in Tartus is the only point where Russian warships are based in the Mediterranean, and the only military base of Russia in foreign countries. The appearance of a basing point in Syrian Tartus dates back to 1971. It was here that the repair of the ships of the 5 of the Mediterranean squadron was carried out. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the squadron ceased to exist, but the base remained in Syria. For the Russian Federation, it is the most important object of military-strategic importance, since it ensures the deployment of groups of the Russian Navy in the southern parts of the world's oceans. Using a base in Tartus, the ships of the Russian Navy for twenty years replenished stocks of fuel and food during trips to the Mediterranean.

Earlier, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation declared its intention to maintain this base in the Mediterranean Sea. In particular, one of the sources in the Russian military explained that the loss of Syrian Tartus would lead, first of all, to reducing the possibilities of permanently locating Russian warships in the Mediterranean, Central and South Atlantic, Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf areas.

However, if the current Syrian regime of President Assad collapses, then the Russian Federation will not be able to remain in Syrian Tartus, since the Syrian opposition will not forgive Russia for its support for Assad.

The official website of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported that the 23 August patrol ships of the Baltic Fleet Yaroslav the Wise and Fearless, as well as the tanker Black Sea Fleet Ivan Bubnov, began to perform tasks related to the advanced presence in the Mediterranean.

According to the plan, ships will take part in tactical exercises and training related to responding to modern threats at sea, such as illegal shipments. weapons, suppression of drug trafficking, as well as countering terrorism.
Earlier, Russian ships successfully carried out their tasks in the waters of the Mediterranean, as well as in the North Atlantic.

Now the second tactical group, consisting of large landing ships of the Northern Fleet "Kondopoga", "George the Victorious", "Alexander Otrakovsky", performs tasks in the North Atlantic area.

The base in Tartus must be preserved anyway! And maybe you should at the same time create the Mediterranean Squadron again! With a competent approach, it is possible and not a large amount to restrain NATO forces!

[ughhh]

what nonsense?

However, if the current Syrian regime of President Assad collapses, then the Russian Federation will not be able to remain in Syrian Tartus, since the Syrian opposition will not forgive Russia for its support for Assad.

That's for sure! And now we sit back and wait, will the "regime" of Assad fall or not ?! If you do nothing, then of course it will fall! The policy of our leadership is clearly not far-sighted! We must admit that we cannot provide direct military assistance! But you can put weapons, specialists, advisers, as in Vietnam! Oh yes, I almost forgot about the kids who live over the hill and about bank accounts .............

And the situation is actually stalemate. Look at what countries surround Syria, there are definitely no friends there and to help the rebels (hidden) they have every opportunity. In this sense, Russia has limited resources (in addition to support in the Sov.bez, but through Facebook you can enjoy it - WE love you - Assad )
If Russia begins to actively support Assad, this will untie the hands of NATO and others like it, and this will only hasten the end of Assad. Therefore, everyone sits and looks (like vultures over prey), who will pass whom. Assad, in fact, is simply shitty. If the opposition of money (Saudi Arabia and Qatar) give not counting, and the money there is just a sea. Saudi Arabia ended this year with a budget surplus of 600 billion. So who will give the money to Assad, Russia? IRAN? How much is 2-3 billion (maybe. Iran does not have money, the banking system itself is paralyzed by sanctions. Russia - well, go ahead, 10 billion forgiven, 4 billion - it has already given loans, they will add a couple more and in the end nothing will come back) Because even if Assad wins, there will be nothing to pay. For 20 billion, it would be possible to wash an island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea and set up a base, it would be cheaper

India has confirmed its rejection of any external military intervention in Syria’s internal affairs and pointed out the need for a peaceful solution to the crisis with the assistance of the international community.
During a press conference on the eve of the visit of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to Tehran to attend the summit of the Non-Aligned Movement, Indian Foreign Minister Ranjan Matai emphasized that India calls for compliance with six points of the plan of Kofi Annan, SANA agency reported.
The question is, why should India support Assad if he has such bad things? Sat looked and then suddenly began to see clearly?

Quote: Karish

So everyone is sitting and looking (like vultures over prey),

At the same time, however, no one is interested in the complete collapse of Syria. France, if such a collapse happens, runs the risk of losing "their" Lebanon, which also will not remain intact. States are wary of receiving two-thirds of the territory of present Syria by an unbalanced Salafi emirate. Which very quickly provokes a new outbreak in the just and with great difficulty pacified Iraq, and neither they nor their British partners need this at all. For the simple reason that Syria is interested in the Anglo-Saxons, mainly as a calm space through which it will be possible to pump Iraqi oil and Qatari gas directly to the Mediterranean Sea, eliminating the need for tankers, the Suez Canal, the Strait of Hormuz, as well as the services of an unpredictable Turkey . So, if you think about it, everything is not romantic.

[Pimply]

Don't forget: Syria is also "French". Syria is also interesting in that it is a regional ally of Iran, and a country that has annoyed the States and Europe enough in a number of parameters.

Why, if Russia actively supports Assad, will this untie NATO’s hands? And the fact that Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and a number of other countries support the revolutionaries, who will this untie their hands?

[Dnepropetrovsk]

And I’ll allow myself one comment, Russia can untie its hands, and then other countries can support it, for example, China, Iran, maybe India and other countries, and NATO’s hands are already untied and they are actively showing this. Well, not quite NATO, but a number of countries from NATO.

but let me not speak about the military, I’m talking about free citizens who have a sense of duty to their ally. How much do I understand this is how Mr. Assad is positioned here? After all, if Assad’s enemies come to the rescue, it’s without irony, why unknown about the volunteers who came to help Assad? After all, so many people in the Russian Federation and in general in the former USSR support him. An example is our forum and many others, well, where is there even one battalion of volunteers? Just don’t take this as a rude joke, but it’s hard not to notice the difference between Assad’s massive Internet support and absolute inaction in practice.

You dear, do not engage in agitation here, after all, it is not always necessary to fight, sometimes it is enough just to "STRICTLY LOOK" at your opponent, especially if he is weak in spirit with his impressive dimensions.

You are somewhat wrong. There are a lot of people ready to go to Syria and help Assad. The question is different. The arrival of Slavic volunteers on the territory of a Muslim, albeit a secular state, will be unambiguously used by Muslim radicals as a new crusade in the Arab world to the holy land. For Russia, with its multi-confessional nature, such things are absolutely useless. There is enough of his radicalism. It remains for Alqaida to get one more reason to start another "holy war against the infidels." No, here either to fight big and to the end, or not to climb like an elephant into a china shop.
It is for the same reasons that every NATO entry into the territory of Muslim countries ends in the collapse and increased terrorist activity of Islamic radicals. Neo-Crusader policies did not bring success to anyone.
There was Yugoslavia, so there were a huge number of Russian volunteers. There were brothers in faith and in the Slavic world. In Syria, we have only the political and military interests of Russia as a state. There is no connection uniting peoples (as with Serbs) in Syria. Only pragmatic interest due to the geopolitical location of Syria and the MTO base plus the arms market. You can and should die for your homeland or a Slavic brotherhood, but you can die for a foreign state only if the existence of your country is on the map and a big war has begun, where your people are to bet or not to be in this world.

[wolverine7778]

The point is not merging, but the changing political situation in the world. After all, when Bush demolished S. Hussein in Iraq, all Islamic countries and in particular the peoples of the Sunni branch, Turkey, Europe, Russia and China were unanimously against his overthrow, although he was a military dictator, but the United States was difficult to oppose the Governments of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia , and they knew that in the end it would then lead to a Sunni-Shiite confrontation in the future. When the Arab revolutions, in fact, Islamic ones swept through the countries of the Middle East and North Africa, including Libya, the Islamic world was also unanimous in support, Russia voted for the no-fly zone, because the positions of the Kadafists were weak, and to cause hatred of the entire Islamic world is worse. Russia supported Assad in Syria, to the last, because of the base, but here the political return will be the hatred of the Islamic world, and everyone knows that the North Caucasus, especially Dagestan is now blazing strongly, and volunteers from many Islamic countries can come back countries, and therefore the Russian leadership has now become clearly aware

The article was written with real perspectives, without fantasy. There will be no military support for Syria from either Russia or China. Moreover, there will not even be supplies of weapons to counterbalance the invaders. At the moment we do not have enough strength to resist the Yankees. And economically, and even more so, not to mention the possible retaliatory measures from America and the freezing of the accounts of our officials in the banks there.

Well, they begin to write: Hurray, we’ll tear everyone there! But, it seems to me, before writing this, we need to compare our grouping and the NATO grouping in Middle-earth! Elephant and pug! Well, or such a question with the economic course of our country, in the form of pipes in different directions! Our economy is the strongest, and no one thinks that it depends on the price per barrel ......... In short, to sum up, these are ardent optimists!

Only technologically necessary amounts remained for current and short-term temporary loans and transactions with a depth of not more than 2-3 months.

And this is at the moment when Assad began to bend his "opponents"!
Initially, I did not believe that they would not merge, but it’s still a shame for the country!

Here it is, really! Though bitter! And the reason for this is this crap democracy of the last 20 plus years! I wonder what and what our "leaders" were thinking about all this time ???

I didn’t understand that, for 20 years, including the rule of the GDP, well, this is definitely not a democracy. By the way, the whole Arab * spring *, rather Islamic than democratic.

Quote: nycsson

The source also said that our naval base in Syria Tartus cannot be held by military means.

How can it be held back if it is captured by rebels, or attacked? This is not Guantanamo, the extraterritoriality of the base in Tartus is not addressed. You just have to (in case of threat) collect things and leave. There will be no other option. Navy will not shoot at the Syrians (even at the rebels).

I somehow didn’t understand, 20 years including the board of GDP

And what, did the GDP do something for 12 years for our country? The result of his reign with DAM is simply deplorable! The situation around Syria is a vivid confirmation of this!

How can she be held back if she is captured by the rebels?

Deliveries of weapons, specialists and military advisers!

Well, why did you cry ... everything is not so bad there ... Turkey is practically turned off ... in Iraq, the base of bandits ... yes yes bandits ... otherwise the opposition also came up with ... bombed ... the air defense is normal. ..comanches are dancing around the fire ... everything at work ...

[Tambov Wolf]

It’s interesting why no one noticed that when the militants occupied Aleppo, a key point in the war in Syria, our and Chinese groups appeared. And when Aleppo was taken and the Syrian troops put things in order there, the ship groups went about their business. Maybe someone will anyone give a comment?

Tambov Wolf,
Assad was offered help from warships, but he refused, considered that he could handle it and ... did it. Everything will be fine, but do not pay attention to whiners who have been whining for half a year that Russia is surrendering Syria.

I have a feeling that I’m talking with the President of Russia, or at least with the head of the GRU! The second time I ask, where does such confidence come from and the more information!

And all this goes! There are few examples: Yugoslavia and Libya! We are not used to it! Have our ships already fled from the Mediterranean or not? Landing, yes!
At least some kind of argument from you to read, inspiring hope ........ In addition to YOUR OPINION .........

Yes, really, why are we pouring tears? Everything is already calm there ...
Obama said that he would not intervene and was leaving, the opposition reached out over the hill in slender lines, Assad returned the troops to the barracks, and the population set about their usual business ... The first group of tourists, the Comanche tribe Indians, dance peacefully in Damascus around a fire.
Everything is calm and peaceful. Sleep well and you are Russians, everything is under control, everything is going according to plan.

The Russian Federation will continue to continue to support the regime of President Bashar al-Assad at both the humanitarian and information levels ...
Something is not believed about the word mode. Surely this was not said. Well, the rest is not believed after these words.
A source in the Russian military department noted that the naval group of the Russian Federation looks like a dwarf in comparison with the naval groups of the NATO countries that concentrated in the Mediterranean. Well, they were right scared and left. Some sources are not clear, they support the Syrian opposition differently.

as they say in the bible - judge from not by speeches, but by deeds. A lot of talking, but what's the point ??? Or is everything going according to plan ???

In general, I’ll say one thing now ... there is such a formation ... the elite is called ... if the country has it ... it will not win ... why ... yes it is not for sale ... if it is not the elite for sale. .. well, you see them on TV ... if there is an elite in Syria ... then I think they will stand up ...

[Perevalov]

And I keep thinking - when will our government hit the table with its fist? I live in one of those very "democratic" countries and I have almost no strength to see and hear how Russia is being mixed with shit everywhere ... And she keeps silent to herself in a rag. Moreover, even some "natives" ask questions on "their" forums: "Why won't Russia answer anything?" ... But they are a minority and they do not make the weather in these countries - yes, they write on the Internet, and some of their entries are censored and are not posted on the websites of Western newspapers under the headings "Reader's Letters", and the authors themselves are taken into account by the appropriate "competent authorities" those countries. It is a shame and a shame for our once mighty country - first the Serbs, then the Libyans, now the Syrians were "surrendered" to us - soon no one will give us a hand at all, and first of all those "democratic" countries, since the losers are most despised here.
These countries have a lot of ambition and self-confidence, but they all have one weak point - their soldiers, for the most part, are well trained, armed, but morally not ready for losses, because they do not understand what they are fighting for. For democracy? But this is not the Motherland, and the concept is so broad and vague ... I am sure (after talking with "their" soldiers and a policeman who have visited Afghanistan) that if they were there, for example, they would lose as many children as our army, then they would have gotten out of there long ago. They themselves say: "How did you manage to hold out there so much?" Until now, riding on their "patrols", they pass by rusted, burnt columns of Soviet technology. According to their confessions, they never dreamed of such losses, and would not have believed if they themselves had not seen ...

[Jib]

Infa in the article looks like an echo of the "information war" of stuck-up homies. This "SOURCE in MO" needs to kick ass. The Russian naval base in Tartus is a powerful deterrent against direct aggression by foreigners against Syria. And while at least one floating craft under the St. Andrew's Flag is based there or is temporarily located, the ship's board is the inviolable territory of the flag state. hardly dare to attack without the blessing of the Soviets without the UN, ie the Russian Federation and China. Although NATO has already expressed its readiness to unilaterally begin to exert pressure on Damascus, it would be a casus belli. This readiness is confirmed by the concentration of the forces of the united coalition on the borders with Syria, in the Mediterranean Sea and the Persian Gulf. Almost all command and control bodies, ships, submarines, air groups and marines have experience of fighting in Afghanistan, Iraq or Libya. The power is serious, but the Syrians can really resist it only with the help of the Russian Federation, China and Iran. Now Syria is becoming the frontier where world interests collide, and the result of such a clash will change the political map of not only the Middle East. It is necessary to hold Syria up to the stop. The further deepening of the conflict in Syria has deeper implications for Russia than the loss of "several abandoned houses behind a fence and a floating dock" in Tartus.

[Ivanovfarit]

The most interesting thing on Tartus from the personnel are two people, a cat and a dog))

[Voin sveta82]

so what ??)) and behind them all of us and you too ..)))

[bask]

All the same, they draped from Tartus-Syria. I expected that they would throw it earlier. But here they threw like all other allies before that .. Now the blood will flow in Syria. There will be more cool than Iraq. Ktozh now wants to be friends with us.

This little article smells like stuffing. I have noticed for a long time that stuffing differs from ordinary articles in a kind of "forcing rate" in writing.
If you turn on the brains, you can understand that no one will chase a huge group of Navy ships for nothing. It is complicated and VERY expensive. It is possible that there were some closed tasks that no one will ever tell you about the stump in the media. And to draw far-reaching conclusions after reading one article is not worth it. News sites are a field of information warfare. Here you need to be vigilant, attentive and restrained in order to weigh everything and filter.

[rolik]

And they noticed how those who were happy yesterday about our presence in Syria started to snot. So it’s easy and give up, we read a cheap misinformation with reference to another source in the Moscow Region and that’s all .... Ambets:
- Chef !!! Chef !!!! Everything is lost!!!! Plaster is removed, the client leaves !!!!
And these comerades are ready to "rebuff" the enemy ????

The actions of our government have long succumbed to no logic! I think they drove them there in order to somehow save face, in front of their own people!

"The Russian naval group looks like a dwarf in comparison with the naval groupings of NATO countries" - Strange, it is not possible that nuclear weapons are no longer rolling, but let at least one of our ships sink and nuclear mushrooms will grow where they have never grown before ...

[Bob]

Quote: sablezub81

It’s strange, if the nuclear weapons are no longer being driven, let them sink at least one of our ships and the nuclear blocks will grow where they had never spread before ...

It is 100% correct. Although the story with the Kursk showed that in some "cases" it is possible to "come to an agreement" by bargaining prematurely. Well, the fact that "... the boat sank ..." no one will ever dispute, an example of the action of the phenomenon "captain is obvious." And if then, in August 1999, everything went according to a different scenario, where would we be now ... I also write that NATO members were insolent back then in 1999, and who would teach them manners today so that they are respected, so that were afraid. Well, they have pulled an armada of forces into the Mediterranean Sea, are practicing their "peacekeeping" mission in exercises, show their military muscles, but do they think that after an attack or an "accident" with at least one Russian ship, they will have a power supply? One gets the impression that they do not think, because they consider themselves on a horse, and are proud of their "unconditional" leadership in the world. Modern Russia has not yet been able to prove the opposite, due to its peaceful policy, on the one hand, and the immaturity of Russian politicians, on the other hand, which is generally explained by the immaturity of the still young Russian state.

Vanga: ".... two dozen, two hundred, a black ruler, the war in the Middle East, which no one will give value, will develop into a global war that will take millions of lives ... The war will be, and it will begin with one of the Arab countries , at first no one will take her seriously, but soon her wars will declare themselves .. No one will be saved .. "
Two dozen, two hundred - the date of the inauguration of the black ruler - 2009, since the oath of the 1st president of the UWB in 1789 - exactly 220 years.
The black ruler is B. Obama, there was no other and will not be anymore, because there is only one black man in the congress.
A small Arab country in the Middle East is Syria with a population of 20 million.
And finally, the socio-political situation in the region and in the world is such that not one of the global players - the USA, Russia, China wants to give up their positions on Syria, and the further they distance themselves not only on this issue, but also on many to others. Diplomatic means are almost exhausted, the military remains, so there are such movements of the parties - the pulling together of a group of forces of NATO, Russia, exercises and so on. While specialists from NATO are already almost openly fighting in Syria, as well as numerous mercenaries, drawn into jihad from around the world and equipped with NATO forces, Turkey is busy preparing and delivering bearded people from its territory. Everything has already gone too far, and everyone is just waiting for one answer to the question - When will the NATO military operation begin? However, the answer is obvious - on the eve or after November 6 - US Presidential Day
The question is, how will Russia, China, Iran behave in this case ?! What will be the red line for the parties to the conflict, and the response to actions that threaten the interests of the parties. I think that the loss of Tartus and the possibility of deploying and operating the fleet in the Mediterranean, Indian Ocean, South Atlantic is that red line for Russia, for China - the loss of an energy base in the person of Iran, for Iran - the loss of Syria as its only ally. This point of view is indirectly confirmed by the facts of the deployed exercises in the Mediterranean Sea of ​​our ships, as well as the rapid repair and commissioning of the Kuznetsov TAVKR, the planned and already ongoing command and staff exercises of the Southern Military District Kavkaz 2012 and other details.

By this time, more long-range and lethal toys must be delivered to Syria in a roundabout way. For example, "Club-M", then the mattress makers will be surprised when they receive such garbage in their own.

We cannot supply helicopters under the contract! What are you talking about! Yes, they did not deliver the S-300 to Iran, although there was a contract! Our landing ships are already sailing home! To do this, you need political will, a strong army and an independent economy! And we have no nichrome ........

Well, they didn’t give a dream ((((

In my opinion, here is a little more complicated ...

[Voin sveta82]

Well, China will definitely not sit idly by ..)) and we .. in the wings ...)) I respect Lavrov ... well done .. !!!))) ...... Vovchik Putin ... ... who is the president - excuse me ... as a political prostitute .... It was necessary to immediately stop ... the Americans .... when they bombed LIBYA ..)))) .. even if you remember the submarine "Kurs" ..... he knew for sure that the Americans torpedoed her ....... and right now he cannot present anything concrete to them .... and they are doing their dirty deed ...)))) In this regard, Medvedev ... a little better ... immediately sent troops to South Ossetia ..))))

[rolik]

Medvedev just did not send troops into Ossetia until Vovchik kicked him in the ass. Because of this, a whole day was lost, although plans for a response were already prepared long ago, and it was Vovchik who claimed them. And Dimon could not taste for a day that the war had begun, by the way, together with a pair of farts, they could not believe in the war. So what exactly Vovchik needs to say thanks for that. that Sukashvili dined with his tie.

[bask]

We also know about Vanga and that Americans and NATO are a hundred times cooler. Do not let Syria build their own fences. And in Russia they announced to the whole world. . Let’s hand over Syria to us in the world of pipelats comes. Point.

[Voin sveta82]

no .. it won’t come ...))) Too much has already been done so that it doesn’t come ...)))

[AIvanA]

If our minister and the supreme leader decided to suspend, it means they will most likely get him out, and the fulfillment of some tasks by the ship group is of course bullshit, you just need to put an air defense umbrella at least over the base then you can understand it like that. And if Assad is overthrown (destroyed), then the base cannot be unambiguous, and even during the invasion it can be different, we recall the peacekeepers in Georgia. Well, at the expense of the mental health of the US Secretary of State, this is called paranoia.

[Che]

However, if the current Syrian regime of President Assad collapses, then the Russian Federation will not be able to remain in Syrian Tartus, since the Syrian opposition will not forgive Russia for its support for Assad.
At least that's why we need to support Syria.
