JAKARTA - The majority of active military commanders in Russia are said to have gained experience and forged their fighting skills in Syria. And, the experience gained is used to develop training curricula in the country.
This was said by Russian President Vladimir Putin, while holding a meeting with the ranks of the Ministry of Defense and representatives of the defense industry for three days last week.
President Putin revealed that the majority of commanders of Russian military formations and regiments also received qualitative growth in the level of training of command staff, thanks to the war experience gained.
"All commanders of all armies, Air Forces and Air Defense Forces, more than 85 percent of commanders of military formations and regiments have acquired combat experience in the Syrian Arab Republic," said Vladimir Putin as reported by TASS Monday, May 31.
"Now (we) rely on it in maneuvering, command and training staff and training, as well as in the training of personnel of military units and formations," he continued.
Launching CNBC, since the domestic war broke out in Syria in 2011, Russia has become one of the countries that has actively deployed its troops, to support the Bashar al-Assad regime's army, against anti-government forces and the ISIS terrorist group.
Deploying land, sea and air forces, Russia is said to display an effective military intervention in Syria. Reported by DW.com from Reuters, United States military officials recognize this efficiency.
"There is no doubt that the position of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is now safer than before," the top US military official told Reuters. Also Russia's bargaining position at the international negotiating table related to the Syrian conflict immediately soared. Now there can be no peaceful solution without Moscow's involvement.
Interestingly, the military intervention in Syria also gave Russia an opportunity to spend old Soviet-era ammunition, test new weapons and all war data, analyzed and then integrated into the latest military tactics and strategies.
"Russia is not blindly carrying out military operations in Syria. They are taking advantage of the very low cost of war," said a senior US intelligence officer.
Most recently, the Russian army succeeded in silencing 338 terrorists, securing 26 arsenals with more than 21.5 tons of ammunition and 7 tons of equipment since April 23, in an announcement ahead of last week's Syrian elections.
"Units of the pro-government Syrian forces, with the support of the Russian Aerospace Forces, are also continuing their search and reconnaissance missions in the Syrian desert. Since April 23, a total of 228 members of the terrorist group have been killed and 44 captured, 20 vehicles have been confiscated and six destroyed, 38 facilities and 45 hideouts have been destroyed," said a spokesman for the Russian army in Syria.
This includes inspection of 2,530 kilometers of roads and 865 buildings, clearing mines in three locations, ahead of the general election on 26 May. As a result, Bashar al-Assad was re-elected as President of Syria with 95.1 percent of the vote.
