...Srsly?  

Naval infantry also do trainings with parachute jumping. VDV and Naval infantry have trainings together, since both are in Novorossiysk. 7th VDV division also do mountain trainings.

- The most pressing question of the previous year - the supply of weapons to Syria. The equipment needed for the operation of the S-300, has already been delivered to the country. When will the end of the supply chain?

- This is a closed issue. I can only confirm that the supply contracts with the "Rosoboronexport" and were continuing.

Russia to Destroy S-300 Weapons Systems Meant for Export to Syria
MOSCOW, August 11 (RIA Novosti) – Russia’s anti-aircraft S-300 weapons systems, intended for export to Syria before sanctions were imposed, will be destroyed, the director for the Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation said Monday.

“The S-300 complexes meant for Syria will be destroyed. This decision has been made on the level of the country’s political leadership,” Konstantin Biryulin said.

Asked if the complexes could be sold to a different country, Biryulin said that it was possible, “but very unlikely.”

Anyway, there is probably more to the story as Russia still supporting Syria. Maybe because S-300 wont do Syria any good, but instead more aircrafts and ground equipment instead?
