Russian Foreign Intelligence Service: US wants to provide militants in Syria with anti-aircraft and anti-tank weapons

The United States wants to provide militants in Syria with anti-aircraft and anti-tank weapons. With these funds, the Americans intend to equip the newly created detachments of radicals and with their help resume hostilities in this Middle Eastern country.

This information was provided by the director of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) of Russia Sergey Naryshkin.

According to intelligence received, the United States intends to arm Syrian radicals with heavy machine guns and rocket-propelled guns. weapons, as well as give them all-wheel drive pickups. Among the weapons being prepared for delivery are the Igla MANPADS, as well as TOW and NLAW anti-tank missile systems.

The Foreign Intelligence Service claims that weapons, ammunition and equipment will be handed over to Islamists from among the members of the ISIS (an extremist organization banned in the Russian Federation). Of these, they plan to form armed mobile detachments that will act against the Syrian authorities in the southwest and in the center of the country, as well as east of the Euphrates River. According to Naryshkin, representatives of the so-called "Free Syrian Army", consisting of detachments of the Kurdish and Arab anti-government opposition, will become "intermediaries" between the American authorities and radical Islamists.

Since 2014, the US-led coalition has been conducting a special operation "Unwavering Resolve" in the Middle East. And if the American troops participating in the operation are in Iraq at the invitation of the government, then they are in Syria without permission.

        Who is now conducting active hostilities against the Syrian government army?
        There is very little information, the events in Ukraine attract maximum attention.

    I proposed to screw up ALL (12) American bases in Syria with hypersonic missiles.
    Xi Jinping has already made some suggestion to the Americans about Syria, maybe he will help Assad in eliminating the militants?

      It is best that this be done by the legitimate authorities and forces of Syria. Much more legitimate. Although it is possible that "some militants" from the national liberation movement of Syria hit the US base, and suddenly they also have MANPADS and tanks and suddenly the sun is out of nowhere. They are waging a proxy war in Ukraine. What's stopping us? Another question is that now such a provocation is being done only so that we, in a rush to be in time everywhere, simply break.

      Maybe finish destroying critical infrastructure in Ukraine first before opening a new front. Spring is coming soon, but Ukraine has not frozen over, moreover, even the streetlights in the cities do not go out and the streetlights shine as before. We used to shoot drones and rockets every week, now we attack once every 2-3 weeks, and you want to shoot goats in the desert.

    As they and other countries need to do!

    I don’t know why we haven’t yet provided weapons to those detachments that attack the Americans in Syria, this should have been done a long time ago, or to organize such detachments ourselves

      Have been trying for a long time.
      In February 2018, a detachment of pro-Assad militia, with the support of Wagner PMCs, tried near Hasham. Let's go seriously, with reconnaissance, tanks and artillery.
      the Americans in response sent aviation (airplanes, helicopters and UAVs) and HIMARS.

      The result - from our (Assad) side, a hundred corpses (including 14 from Wagner), and they have 1 wounded.
      This has been temporarily suspended.

      During a conversation with journalists on Wednesday, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov, in connection with information about the death of Russians as a result of shelling by coalition forces in Syria, was asked about "what status do these people have for the Kremlin when they are fighting in Syria."
      “We in the Kremlin do not have detailed information that would allow us to draw any conclusions. It cannot be ruled out that citizens of the Russian Federation may be in Syria. They do not belong to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation,” Peskov said.
      The US Central Command said the US coalition launched retaliatory strikes after the headquarters of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) was attacked by Syrian pro-government forces.

    We have nothing to do in Syria - there are no national interests of the Russian people there as in Ukraine.
    There are only commercial interests of the Russian oligarchs to get oil fields, but they are unattainable due to the strong positions of Turkey and the United States in the region.

    It is necessary to withdraw all Russian troops from Syria on the eve of the third world war between the US and China and as soon as possible, because Turkey and Israel, Syria's neighbors will participate in this war as US allies and the Russian expeditionary force in Syria will be trapped and destroyed.
