Russia is withdrawing its military assets from Syria following the overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad by rebel forces, with satellite images and video footage showing organized convoys and increased activity at key Russian military bases.
Russia is actively withdrawing military assets from Syria following the fall of President Bashar al-Assad to rebel forces last weekend. A video released on December 13 showed a convoy of over 150 military vehicles, some bearing Russian flags, moving north on the M5 highway between Damascus and Homs. Verified by Reuters, the footage highlights a well-organized withdrawal, reportedly part of a deal allowing Russian forces to exit Syria in an orderly fashion.
Satellite images from Maxar Technologies further confirmed increased activity at the Hmeimim air base in Latakia, with large Antonov AN-124 cargo planes seen being loaded with military equipment. On December 14, additional activity was observed as cargo planes and helicopters landed at the base, while other planes departed for Libya. A Syrian security official confirmed that more Russian departures are expected in the coming days.
Russia, a key ally of Assad, granted asylum to the ousted leader after helping him escape Damascus. Despite the withdrawal, the Kremlin has emphasized the importance of maintaining its military bases in Syria, including the Hmeimim air base and the naval facility in Tartous, its only Mediterranean hub. While Tartous remains operational with frigates stationed offshore, Moscow’s focus is on securing its installations and diplomatic missions while continuing efforts against international terrorism.
