🇷🇺🇸🇾RUSSIA HAS A NAVAL BASE IN SYRIA... AND IT COULD LOSE IT TO REBELS
Rebels are now near Homs, approximately 96 miles (154 kilometers) from Tartus, Russia’s only naval base on the Mediterranean.
This rapid advance puts Moscow’s critical outpost within striking distance, threatening its control over the region.
Tartus is essential to Russian naval operations, offering warm-water access and a platform to project power across Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.
Established during Soviet times, it enables resupply and repairs, avoiding long returns to Black Sea ports.
More than a military hub, Tartus is key to Russia’s geopolitical strategy, anchoring Assad’s survival and countering NATO influence.
A rebel breakthrough in Homs could sever Assad’s access to the coast, jeopardizing Russia’s foothold and global ambitions.
