[edit] Defensive weapons
I'm not sure what this sentence means: "In addition, Syria is trying to develop defensive weapons to limit the Israeli abilities to attack it." It's not clear what a "defensive weapon" is. A source would be helpful. SlimVirgin (talk) 22:39, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
Yep, I agree with SlimVirgin. Expression "defensive weapon" seems to be at least suspicious. --83.240.4.195 12:13, 24 January 2006 (UTC) Jara
Syrian forces acquire nuclear missiles and a new fleet of 400 f-16s via pakistan. War on syria would constitute self made genocide for the zionist israelis
"Defnsive Weapons" as fast deploying minefields, burried T55 tanks as fire-posts, fortification, AA missile arrays and other such weapons intended to deter Israel form further aggression against Syria, as the Doctrine of the Syrian Arab Army suggests strongly that undertaking offensive action against Israel to return the Quneytra Province (Golan Heights to Israel) would not be effective, or even feasable use of it's army (And quite reasonable of them, taking the current technical gap between the aging equipment of the SyAA and the IDF). The source for this is, woefully, confidential.
Also of the Chemical Weapons, in 1973 stockpiles of Cehm Shells for 100mm tank cannons and 130mm Artillery caanons was captured during the Yom Kipur War by Israel on the outskirts of Damascus, since then it's mostly assumed that they still have some of it. Well, it has legs as much as it had in the Iraq case, but we aren't talking about the sanest and most humane regiemes on Earth. Better safe then sorry.
[edit] Merge of Syrian Air Force proposed
Syrian Army has now been merged into this page as suggested 2005-12-15 and unopposed.
It is now suggested that Syrian Air Force should likewise be merged.

[edit] Good Article
This is a good article, well-written.
[edit] Syria and Weapons of Mass Destruction
Why doesn't this article mention Syria's development of chemical and biological weapons? Who removed it? I'm putting it back.
