According to the report, the Syrian military has reinforced their troops in the Al-Quneitra Governorate with their Pantsir-S1 air defense system, which was purchased from Russia.

The move by the Syrian military comes just days before their forces launch their long-awaited offensive in the southern provinces of the country.

The Syrian military is set to launch a large-scale offensive that will focus on the rebel-held parts of the Al-Quneitra and Dara’a governorates.
