Assad regime in several key areas.
Battles That Forged a Unique Military Doctrine
Al-Sharaa highlighted that revolutionary military officers had engaged in significant battles that honed their combat skills to a degree far exceeding the experience of the regime’s forces.
Sharaa’s Transitional Presidency: A Coup or a Necessary Step?
Revealing details of a meeting with a Western officer following the battle that led to the fall of the regime, al-Sharaa said, “About two or three weeks after the battle, a Western officer met with me—without mentioning his country’s name. He completely broke away from diplomatic formalities and stood up.”
Al-Sharaa continued, “The officer then told me: ‘I monitored the battle through satellites and drones, and I saw an extraordinary school of military science—one that we should consider ourselves students of.’”
He added, “Then, the officer removed a medal from his chest and presented it to me.”
Undeniable Military and Intelligence Superiority
Al-Sharaa stressed that his previous assertions about the revolution’s strength were not mere slogans to boost morale but were rooted in precise data.
He explained that a systematic comparison between the capabilities of the revolutionary forces and the regime revealed a significant advantage in favor of the revolution across political, economic, military, intelligence, and even social dimensions.
The Syrian president noted that the military forces formed during the revolution had acquired a high level of expertise and professionalism over the years. He also emphasized that their large number of fighters further reinforced their status and capabilities.
