Moscow, SANA-The Russian Navy’s resupply facility in Syria’s Tartous Port could be upgraded only after an appropriate political decision is adopted, a Russian Navy Main Staff source said on Friday.<\/p>\n
“If the political leadership of the country makes such a decision, the Russian Navy’s resupply facility in Syria’s Tartous will be seriously upgraded to match the new political and military situation in the Mediterranean region,” he said.<\/p>\n
All efforts to overhaul the installation’s infrastructure will be made in coordination with the Syrian authorities, he added.<\/p>\n
“However, the possibility of turning this resupply facility into a fully-fledged naval base is not being considered so far,” he said.<\/p>\n
“An overhaul of this resupply installation will envisage bolstering all protection systems of the facility, including its air and counter-sabotage defenses. After the facility’s infrastructure is modernized, one of its floating docks will be adjusted in order to enable it to accept a cruiser or a destroyer, while the second dock will be able to accommodate two frigates or large assault ships simultaneously,” the source said.<\/p>\n
