Russia is reducing its military presence in northern Syria while maintaining its two main bases, the Hmeimim airbase and Tartous naval facility.

Sources indicate that following the fall of President Bashar al-Assad, Russia is withdrawing forces from frontline positions and some heavy equipment.

Despite these withdrawals, officials stated that Russia has no current plans to vacate its established bases.

Satellite images show large cargo planes at Hmeimim reportedly preparing to transport equipment and personnel, with one flight confirmed to have left for Libya.

New leadership

Discussions are ongoing between Russian officials and Syria’s new leadership regarding the future of military operations and the bases.

The Tartous base serves as a critical Mediterranean hub for Russia. Historical ties between Russia and Syria date back to the Cold War era.

Geopolitical analysts suggest Russia may be rerouting cargo through Libya. While Russian troops remain visible at Hmeimim, local citizens express a strong desire for an end to foreign military involvement in Syria.

Recent satellite imagery has confirmed the presence of Russian naval forces in the region.

While Russia is adjusting its military strategy in Syria, it seems committed to maintaining a lasting presence through its key bases.
