Russian army present in Syria
The Syrian government and Russia have historically had strong relations. Since the civil war began in 2011, the Syrian army has continuously weakened in front of militant groups. Although in this war it got the help of Iran’s IRGC, Iranian proxies and Russian weapons, but despite all this the Syrian army kept losing control of one province after another. In 2015 the Russian army officially entered Syria and in 2015 it has been fighting many rebel groups by establishing its base in Syria permanently. At the same time, the US army also has a base in Syria. This base is located in Al-Tanf region on the border of Jordan.
