Topic: Are there Russian troops in Syria? - page 3. (Read 2355 times)
I really doubt whether Russia is having combat troops in Syria. There might be a few dozen military trainers, mostly based in the port city of Tartus (they always had a small training contingent based from there). IMO, protecting Assad is not one of the priorities for Putin. He might try to extend Assad's reign, but by no means he is going to spend his manpower and money trying to pop him up.
Don't think Russian will get envolved in this battle even if they have troops there.
They have ships in one of syria's port so they will defend the town that contains it. That's all but who knows anyway

Are there Russian troops in Syria?
Recently information has been spreading through blogs and media on Russian troops being moved to Syria with an intent to take part in the fighting.
We tried to investigate the information, verify, confirm or refute the assumptions and find new facts. Here's what we got.
The information on "Putin moving troops to Syria!" became widespread after a recent video from Syria, shot presumably on August 23 during fighting to the north of Latakia, Syria's main port city.
