Turkey's Role in Reviving Syrian Air Force
The article discusses Turkey's efforts to rebuild and develop the Syrian Air Force, including pilot training and the rehabilitation of military bases, among them Abu Al-Zuhur Base near Aleppo. Turkey responded to Israeli airstrikes targeting the base in August 2026, viewing them as an attempt to thwart the establishment of an organized and independent military force in Syria. Sources indicate that Ankara aims to build institutional strategic influence within the Syrian army, focusing on training and qualification rather than heavy direct military presence. The goal is to strengthen its control, ensure stability along the border, and reduce independent actors while minimizing the need for long-term direct military involvement. Turkish interventions are of strategic importance, as they seek to support Syria's military capabilities and balance Israeli influence, with an emphasis on creating a cohesive defense system and institutional influence that supports the unity and sovereignty of the Syrian state.
