Syrian campaign will make Russia rich
Having launched a military operation in Syria in 2015, Russia set itself several goals at once. The main one is the fight against international terrorism and the destruction of thousands of militants who arrived in the war from Russia itself and from the CIS countries. Collateral goals - to give experience to their military, as well as to experience a whole range of weapons and combat systems.
However, there is another goal that Russia has already begun to approach smoothly. This is the consolidation of its position in the region by entering economic projects. As you know, already today, Russian firms are holding contracts for exploration and production of oil and gas in the Syrian Arab Republic. This primarily relates to offshore gas fields in the Mediterranean Sea, whose reserves are hundreds of billions of cubic meters.
But as you know, over time, economic benefits are converted into political. Moscow's position has significantly strengthened not only in Syria itself, but also in Iraq, as well as Lebanon, which also has huge reserves of offshore gas.
