Russia & Syria Signal West With Joint Naval Drills, "Hundreds" Of Airstrikes On Idlib
Sun, 12/22/2019

Maneuvers included counterterror operations, anti-drone warfare and deception, among other tactics.
Russian media published footage of what appeared to be relatively small-scale drills when compared to prior regional exercises Russia has held.

And contradicting speculation that Russian forces could be ready to begin drawing down from the region, this week Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister said Moscow will invest $500 million in the Syrian port of Tartus. According to regional reports:
