    This is good and right. Maybe heavy-duty transporters will be able to land with heavier equipment and in addition, cargo turnover will increase.
    Developed transport communications contribute to the development of the economy.

      Yeah, "the Syrian government will expand", who else? Especially Latakia and Tartus smile
      But, in general, optimism pleases - Aleppo has not yet been taken, and there are already plans to expand the airport there. So, they will take it soon.

          Optimism, Assad from Moscow I brought. But no one will restore the transport infrastructure, which means there are economic types. While progressive Western democracy grunts about the Russian bombing of GDP, it began to take root. good

            The most important thing is an indicator of the seriousness of our intentions. Since we are talking about infrastructure, then we will be there for a long time. Syria has a strategically important location, and if we take it into our orbit - EurAsEC, SCO up to ODKB, it will seriously strengthen us. Of course, there are also disadvantages - its problems become our problems, but one cannot become a global power without taking responsibility for our allies. To expand a business, you have to take risks. In my opinion, the risk is justified and the winnings are worth it. Someone may consider that not - his right. However, there is a great opportunity to appreciate our elite. We have seriously stepped on the tail of the mattress in Syria, and now they will begin to raise all their agents in the Russian Federation to fight against the operation in Syria. So if a "patriot" or a well-known person or "a people's ruler and a communist" sharply criticizes our operation in Syria, it becomes immediately clear who is pulling his strings. The first swallows have already gone - Girkin and El-Murid. It was even interesting whether they would be frankly firing or not, but the guys did not disappoint - they gave themselves up with giblets. laughing We are waiting for the next one to be revealed to us from an interesting perspective.

        In Tartus, instead of the MTO point, it is necessary to build a full-fledged naval base, such as Mediterranean Sevastopol
        , and in Latakia - a full-fledged air force base, so that the Tu-160 could be based. Then the presence in the middle-earth will be provided to the full, and if you create a normal squadron - in general a fairy tale.

          Of course, I would like Russia to take a firm foot on the Mediterranean. At the same time, some not quite adequate figures from NATO and those who want to enter there pour a cold shower. But this is not a matter of the near future, given the current state of the Russian economy, its shipbuilding and aircraft industries, the creation of another full-fledged naval base with its own squadron of ships and airbase with its own aviation component is good wishes, not supported by appropriate capabilities. But you need to strive for this, because it is very important for a country that positions itself as one of the poles (power, international authority, attraction - as you wish) of a multipolar world, and most importantly - it has recently taken concrete steps in this direction, even if it may be forced, but still real. What did not go unnoticed for the whole world.
          And for Syria, the expansion and modernization of seaports and airports is vital, especially in the long term, which, I hope, this country has, and they are prospects for a positive plan.
          I have the honor.

It is necessary to find an opportunity, if necessary, to dispossess any bastard of the bureaucrats, to reduce non-target expenses. If the nuclear weapons on the TU-160 will be based in Syria, plus submarine missile carriers - and let them build missile defense systems around Russia even to the point of turning blue.

          Let me say that the "strategists" have nothing to do there. They must be based on Russian territory. And to fulfill their tasks, they use cruise missiles of the appropriate range (we will not give specific data) and having the ability to perform low-altitude flight around the terrain. Missiles are launched from an area inaccessible to air defense systems of a potential enemy.

        If Assad wins, then the restoration of the destroyed infrastructure will require the help of other countries with money and building materials. Therefore, expansion of airfields and restoration of railway tracks are so necessary! The Syrians think right: here is not only the expansion of our base, but the ability to receive as many aircraft and convoys as possible with humanitarian and non-humanitarian assistance.

And if you imagine that "Everything is gone", then it is natural and will disappear in the future. Therefore, watch your thoughts, they are worth a lot, so as not to say in the future, "Why did it happen" and "Who is to blame for this," but we ourselves are to blame and we must blame ourselves.

      Three Russian An-124 heavy cargo planes have landed at Basil Assad International Airport in Syrian Latakia over the past few days.

      http://www.warandpeace.ru/ru/news/view/104866/
      On Tuesday, the network of correspondents got video of the French television channel TF1, filmed at the airport Latakia. It can be seen transport An-124, as well as combat aircraft Su-24 and Mi-24. On the Syrian LuftwaffeAS blog on Wednesday published a photo of Mi-24, flying in the sky over the local airfield.

      “This project is in the plans of the government in order to increase its economic potential,” he added.


      But Yushchenko forgot to add that the Prime Minister is going to do this through loans from the Russian Federation, because it’s clear even to a child that in Syria there is no economy due to complete devastation, and Assad is waging war from loans from Russia.

      And about the economic potential, the Economic Center of Syria Aleppo, has become a theater of war. The borders are not controlled. So there can be no talk of any economy
