Report: Syria recieves new weapons from Russia
2014-12-23
[Ynet] The Al-Akhbar newspaper, which is associated with Hezbollah, reported Monday that Russian weapons, and weapons from other sources, were delivered to the Syrian police and are likely to impact the course of the civil war in Syria. According to the report the weapons "were not revealed in order to prevent Israel or other sources from discovering them."

The report also claimed that Russia and Iran had opened a new credit line to Syria worth 6.4 billion dollars. Tehran has opened a credit line of 4.5 billion dollars and Russia opened a credit line of a billion dollars, in addition to 500 million intended for food and 400 million intended for flour.

#2  Russia and Iran with (to) Syria. For Russia, it's probably part of the rent payment on the Med base.

For the Iranians, it's probably partly a laundering of Chinese money.
