Upon completion of the training, the Syrian mercenaries will be taken to the Khmeimim airbase, and from there to the territory of the Russian Federation. In Russia they are given Russian passports and then mobilized into the army.
| “If you survive, you can get nice dacha in Moscow. Sexy, blond girlfriend not included.” (Yes, of course I know dacha is a Russian country cottage. Stupid Syrians don’t know, though.) |
