What Syria weapon can be useful to Ukraine and how to get it - Defense Express

In the Syrian regime, there were even coastal anti-ship complexes "Bastion" under the supersonic PCR type P-800 "Onyx". In addition to Syria, which received these complexes about 2013, Russia supplied Bastion to export only to Vietnam. The authors of the publication point out that the Bastions are rare in Syrians, and it would be important for Ukraine to get these complexes to develop new methods of counteracting the missile attacks of the Russian Federation.

According to The Military Balance 2024, the Assad troops at the beginning of 2024 also had an unnamed number of OTRC "Point-U", "Elbrus" and Iranian missiles Fateh-110. According to analysts, Ballistics for Syria from Iran in Ukraine could be relevant for at least studying to prevent possible threats, but supplying to the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Elbrus complexes is a debatable issue.

"The existing Syrian complexes" Point "could well be required by our military for further missile strikes on the objects of Russian invaders," the publication said. The publication estimated that the ground part of Syria's air defense numbered at least 20 launchers C-300PM2, up to 36 starting installations of the complexes C-125-25 "PEDAV-2M", an unnamed number of starting complexes C-200 ".

At the beginning of the year in the Park of Syrian artillery there were jet systems "Hurricane" 220 mm caliber and "tornado" 300 mm caliber, the ammunition to which is scarce in the world market. There were only 184 military aircraft in Syria in Syria, 30 MiG-29 aircraft are most interesting.

Some were upgraded to the MiG-29cm modification (there is a possibility of using the air-air-to-air rockets and the air-top missiles X-31P and X-29, as well as managed airbots), as well as up to ten bombers type Su- 24mk. Syria also had four anti-water helicopters Ka-28 and five Mi-14, which are probably already defective, but can go for spare parts.

The authors of the publication also point out that the question is, with whom in Syria, you can now agree on the possible receipt of equipment and weapons. In addition, potential arrangements are likely to be limited in time, because the Israeli Air Force is firing military bases in Syria in order to hit all more or less significant armament reserves. Recall that American Abrams tanks are not suitable for war in Ukraine. This was stated by US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.
