The Syrian Army continues combat training classes under the guidance of Russian instructors in Palmyra, using techniques used at Russian military training grounds. This became known on Thursday, December 16.
"The Russians are very good teachers, they trained us a lot and provided us with their strength," explained the SAR soldier Ahmad Shahada.
During the exercises, even army rarities are used, such as the Soviet heavy-caliber machine gun DShK of the 1940s. At the same time, the weapon works flawlessly.
According to Colonel of the Russian Armed Forces Vladimir Lyakhov, the servicemen of both countries understand each other already "without translating the text."
"They understand that we want them to see what to show, to fulfill," he added.
It is noted that during the combat exercises, no historical value was damaged, since the landfill is located at a considerable distance from the Palmyra security zone.
Earlier, on December 3, Russian military police conducted psychological training with Syrian colleagues on a special obstacle course in Aleppo province in the immediate vicinity of the Idlib de-escalation zone. They tried to recreate the clash itself with maximum accuracy. For the first time, the Syrian military police conducted training together with Russian fighters as a combined unit.
