A significant development in Syria has left a foreign military force struggling to evacuate its assets. Following a recent change in Syria’s political leadership, authorities have denied entry to a cargo ship intended to evacuate military equipment from a key naval base.

Assad, the Russian-backed dictator of Syria, has led to Russia needing to evacuate its military contingent from the country. To accomplish this, Russia has sent ships to Syria to evacuate the remaining equipment along with airlifting the most valuable equipment.
