The Russian military is deploying more reinforcements in Syria’s northeastern region in what appears to be an attempt to deter Turkey, whose military and proxies are preparing to launch a new operation against the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
On June 7, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the Russian military deployed reinforcements at al-Mabaqer base near the SDF-held town of Tell Tamer in the northern countryside of al-Hasakah.
According to the London-based monitoring group, the reinforcements included armored vehicles and heavy weapons as well as air-defense and radar systems.
A video that surfaced online on June 6 shows a Russian military convoy with two Pantsir-S1 short-range air-defense systems moving in an unspecified part of the northern al-Hasakah countryside.
The Pantsir-S1 was designed to provide point air defense of military, industrial and administrative installations against aircraft, helicopters, precision munitions, cruise missiles and drones. Russia deployed an additional Pantsir-S1 system in al-Qamishli Airport in the northern al-Hasakah countryside on June 2.

Russia has been expanding its military presence in northern and northeastern Syria to prevent Turkey from launching a new military operation against the SDF. Moscow has already warned that such an operation would only worsen the humanitarian situation in the war-torn country.
Despite Russia’s efforts, Turkey appears to be determined to launch its operation. The Turkish military and its proxies have been amassing their forces in northern and northeastern Syria and shelling SDF-held towns and villages in the two regions for a few weeks now.
Ankara is clearly trying to take advantage of the conflict in Ukraine, which is taking much of Russia’s attention, to further its influence in Syria even more under the pretext of fighting the SDF.
Is Russia making a mistake by going against Erdo in Syria and giving so much support to the SDF who are constantly used by the US to further US hegemony.

Not at all. They support Assads only. They are neutral to SDFs.
Would this not also put pressure on Israel? I imagine this would limit their considerations for an airstrike against Iran to a route overflying Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf.
Israel is not in this. In those matters Syria as an area is very big.
As ussual in the propganda You ignore israel has rigjt and duties for Russia according Iran and Hesbollah only.
Its admired from here that fcts like that has not reached most brain in the whole ME even it has been like that for decades. Russia is no enemy to Israel in those matters.
Yes
Stupid Ruskies, if Israel wants they can destroy every single Russian asset in Syria in just a couple of days
‘to further its influence in Syria even more under the pretext of fighting the SDF.’
I always said this. They doesn’t care about SDF, nothing of a sort, only grabbing territory.
We all know who is behind all this turkish bs in Syria.
Thats right. Syria as country dont exist and never will again after some Baathists took over for many decades ago.
Half of the population is not even in the country. Thos epeople dont support any of the armed groups in Syria.
False, most of the population is there.
And the Bosnian bs also.
Turkey has many enemies in the region but also lots of allies.
Nice…some more Bayraktar chicken feed. Your better off trading these for SA-2’s they are so bad.
