A short history of Syria and it's air force: The Syrian Arab Air Force is one of the air force's in the Middle East that suffered the from the many wars with Israel in the past 40 years. The build-up began after the second world war when Syria gained its independence from France and Great Britain and during the 1950's the air force grew mainly due to the forming of the United Arab Republic (the alliance with Egypt). The biggest build-up however followed after Hafez Al Assad became President of Syria. Under Assad the Syrians made strong ties with the Russians that resulted in an expansion of the air force through acquisitions of Russian equipment.
good work man!
