I’m asked why the Syrian Arab Army collapsed so quickly
The Syria army was hollowed out from years of fighting and a crippled economy.
Russia prioritizes Ukraine and would not have been able to supply Syria with the arms/ammunition in the quantities required to fight off a NATO-armed/trained army.
Iran never possessed the conventional military forces to stand in as a substitute for the Syrian Arab Army.
Syrian defenses were set up to fight against an enemy from 5-10 years ago – not an army today armed with cheap but effective ISR and attack drones along with large amounts of arms and ammunition.
The drones in particular made it difficult/impossible for Syrian forces to stand and fight.
Their positions were not prepared against drones, every movement they made was scoped out, and when they withdrew to new positions it would start all over again.
Even establishing new positions would only lead to the whole process repeating itself.
Once it became clear there was no real way to defend against the advancing NATO-backed terrorists there was no point in continuing to fight.
In summation, a lack of resources, lack of proper preparations against modern battlefield threats, a failure to adapt tactics and strategies against those threats made defending Syria impossible.
For what remains of Hezbollah/Iranian militias and forces in Iraq/Yemen – they must quickly absorb these lessons and adapt before NATO’s terrorist forces are redirected to their next target.
