[Regnum] Russia is allegedly transferring S-300 and S-400 air defense systems from Syrian territory to Libya, the American newspaper The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) wrote on December 18, citing its sources.
| Israel blows them up, Russia ships them out. The key agreement apppears to be that they’re not left behind for Al Nusra or ISIS to get their hands on. |
Other Russian weapons are also being sent from Syria to the African country, according to unnamed American and Libyan officials. The sources claim that air defense systems, including radars for anti-aircraft installations, have already been delivered to eastern Libya. The eastern part of the country is controlled by commander Khalifa Haftar.
The article says that the Russian cargo plane arrived in eastern Libya twice in a week, with stops in Mali.
Sources also suggested that Russian troops and military aircraft would be withdrawn from Syria.
As reported by Regnum News Agency, on December 12, Bloomberg, citing sources, reported that the Russian Federation is close to an agreement with the Syrian armed opposition on maintaining the Khmeimim airbase on the territory of the republic and its presence in the Tartus naval port. On December 14, the leader of the armed Syrian opposition, Ahmed al-Sharaa (known by the nickname Abu Mohammed al-Julani), said that the new authorities of the country "give Russia the opportunity" to reconsider relations with the Syrian people.
On December 16, the press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov noted that no final decisions regarding Russian military bases in Syria have been made yet. According to him, the Russian side is in contact with representatives of the forces that now control the situation on Syrian territory. The Kremlin representative added that everything will be determined during the dialogue.
For several years, Russia has supported the Syrian government led by Assad in its fight against terrorist forces. Moscow has pledged to provide support as long as the Syrian state itself is conducting military operations, noted Russian President Vladimir Putin. Back in 2015, he emphasized that “we are not going to be more Syrian than the Syrians themselves.”
