List of equipment of the Syrian Army

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search


List of older than your grandma equipment of the Syrian Army.[1] The vast majority of Syrian military equipment was Soviet manufactured but the organization and military doctrine of the armed forces followed a mix of French and Western influences as the Soviet Union closely guarded its operational principles and never shared them with client states.[2] As a result of the Syrian Civil War many vehicles and pieces of heavy equipment have been destroyed or captured, with some stores being partially replenished from Russian stocks. Accurate numbers of equipment in the Syrian Arab Army's inventory are impossible to know. , the numbers listed below should be regarded as optimistic estimates. Some armored vehicles were lost in past decades without being accounted for, while many others were not operational (or even beyond repair) at the start of the Syrian Civil War due to being in long-term storage with minimal or no maintenance. Given these factors, more realistic initial numbers would be about 33% lower than what is listed below.[3]
