On October 4, the Syrian Ministry of Defense announced that different formations of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) conducted large-scale drills over the span of several days.
The drills, which mimicked a large offensive, began with a series of strikes with artillery, ballistic missiles and warplanes. Under the cover of the strikes, armored formations advanced across the frontline, while several commando units landed from helicopters behind enemy defenses.
While advancing, SAA troops repelled a counter-attack by the enemy. The troops then developed the offensive and were able to capture enemy territory.
Several formations from the SAA’s elite Republican Guard and 4th Armoured Division reportedly took part in the large-scale drills.
The drills attended by Syrian defense minister Lieutenant General Ali Mahmoud Abbas, Major General Maher al-Assad, the brother of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, as well as the commander of the Russian military grouping in Syria Colonel General Aleksandr Chaiko.
The SAA has been training nonstop for several months now. In July, the army elite 25th Special Mission Forces Division, mostly known by their former name Tiger Forces, held a tactical, live-fire exercise with the Russians military. More drills will reportedly be held in the upcoming few weeks.
With support from Russia, Syria appears to be preparing its military for a new confrontation. Turkey has been threatening the country’s northern and northeastern region, where US-backed Kurdish forces are in control. Some parts of the northwestern region are still occupied by al-Qaeda and its allies. And in addition to that, Israeli is escalating its attacks on the country.

You can see they were trained by the Russians. No one can conduct large scale drills like the Kremlin.
Rus, China,India must help Syria to defeat the draconic sanctions.
Voila de quoi mettre dehors la vermine étasunienne. Allez les gars, éliminez ces crapules apatrides mondialistes, des criminels notoires que rien n’arrêtera s’ils ne sont pas mis hors d’état de nuire définitivement. Ils ne faut pas compter sur leur intellect, ils n’en ont pas. “Les américains sont la seule population à être passé directement de la barbarie à la décadence sans passer par ce que l’on nomme ailleurs : Civilisation” ! Georges Clémenceau !
I await the day when I read one of these stories about a military drill where they do not defeat the enemy but are defeated! Where they failed to capture the enemy and could not repulse the attack! Seems like these “drills” always end the same way.
Side note 27 or 28 seconds you can see the guy waving his oven mitts he says that the Falfel is ready to the guys coming out of the helicopter. They are angry because they were given AKSU with an 6″ barrel to fight in the open desert. WTF! Poor Syria … the have taken a lot of sh!t!
Has the SAA been undergoing reorganization, following current Russian Army doctrine? They seem to be getting more efficient and effective at combined arms fighting, if this video is any indication.
It looks like it
