Russian forces have evacuated their S-400 long-range SAM battery from Khmeimim Air Base in western Syria.
Multiple 5P85SM2 TELs were spotted earlier today
driving south down the M1 highway towards the port of Tartus.

They need to get "disappeared" so they don't show up against Ukraine.

Perhaps Ukrainian drones would like to meet with them?

I actually thought the Russians might move their remaining troops in Syria to the area from Latakia to Tartus and then proclaim themselves a peace keeping force protecting Christians, Alawites and other minorities in the coastal area.
Looks like they're going to just F**k right off outta there?

Can ships get in and out of that port?

I'm asking the same question.
Maybe the Russians think not without significant SAM support stationed close by.

Their SAMs don't stop Israel. The IAF struck chemical plants in western Syria today. It seems more likely that any Russian ship will be shot at with drones, rockets & artillery. Russia is seemingly removing missiles, which are susceptible explosives in transit & vulnerable even to small arms fire.

Navy bugged out of Tartus with the fear of god about being overrun by the bloodthirsty horde, then high command told them to grow a pair and get back to evacuate all the other Russians stuck in the country with the fear of God in them, about to be overrun by the bloodthirsty horde.
Saigon vibes.

Is that A-10 that was flying over Syria the other day still around? Asking for a friend.

OSINTtechnical (@osinttechnical.bsky.social) have read that the system is not actually going to Tartus (that it is misinformation). That the geolocation has the system headed for the Port of Latakia.

Probably a dumb question, but do Syrian opposition forces have capabilities that made S400's necessary?

A few dozen mines surreptitously laid outside the harbour would stop those missiles being used in Ukraine.

Dumb question, remember that air base that Trump hit with a bunch of cruise missiles? Where's it at? Are the Syrians still operating from it? Thanks!

ruzzia could scrap them/melt them down and sell them for a LOT of money. No need leaving behind valuable resources!
