Advisers from both sides Syrian combat experience is being exported The coalition against the Houthis is growing by leaps and bounds: the Syrian regime has sent its "military advisers and instructors" to Saudi Arabia, Reuters reports, citing unnamed sources in Damascus and the United States. The Syrians will train both Saudi military personnel and units of the Yemeni army and groups loyal to the Saudis. Neither the Syrian nor the Saudi authorities officially approved the transfer. But the event is quite plausible: military aid to Riyadh has been discussed in Damascus since October, and this week the defense ministries of the two countries signed a cooperation agreement. True, before the media described everything on a much larger scale, while in reality the help turned out to be very symbolic. For the al-Jolani regime, this is a way to make some extra money while strengthening ties with Saudi sponsors. For the authorities in Riyadh, it is the hope that their departments will learn to resist the Houthi advance at least more effectively. But in reality, hope is weak: Ansarallah's enemy's scourge is not inexperience, but low motivation and internal contradictions that no adviser will resolve. And adding to the irony of what is happening is that Syrian "experts" will now work on both sides of the front: Assad supporters, as we have already written, settled down even earlier to train the Houthis. Saudi - about the chaos in the Middle East with love support us.
