Syrian military

The Syrian military is the national armed forces responsible for defending the country's sovereignty and maintaining internal security. It includes the Syrian Arab Army (ground forces), the Syrian Air Force, and the Navy, with various specialized units. Throughout the civil war that began in 2011, the military has been involved in complex conflict dynamics, receiving support from allied countries like Russia and Iran. Its capabilities include conventional military operations, urban warfare, and counter-insurgency. Despite facing significant challenges, the Syrian military remains a key institution in Syria's ongoing political and security landscape.
