Russian defense forces send dozens of armored vehicles to Syria

SANAA, Oct. 27 (YPA) -The Russian Defense Ministry announced that it has reinforced its military police base at Syria with dozens of armored vehicles “Tiger” and “U-Typhoon”.

According to “RIA Novosti” agency, the ministry said, “dozens of armored vehicles were sent to the base of Hmeimim by military transport plane Il-76 to strengthen the Russian military police in the implementation of its tasks on the Syrian-Turkish border.

The Tiger and Typhoon-U armored vehicles were transported to Syria from military airports in Rostov and Krasnodar provinces.

The Russian Defense Ministry announced two days ago that about 300 Russian military police arrived in Syria to follow up the withdrawal of Kurdish militants from the Syrian-Turkish border.

These armored vehicles are designed to transport personnel and install various types of equipment or weapons systems on them, and equipped with an operational management system.

Russian military police have started patrolling and exercising their duties in the areas included in the Russian-Turkish memorandum of understanding between President Vladimir Putin and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan recently.
