Russia has one naval base outside of the country. That base is in Syria. It serves Russia's navy on missions to the Mediterranean. Russia also has military advisers in Syria who train Syrians on how to use the weapons Syria has bought from Russia.
There is a report that Russia will be sending two ship and perhaps 300 marines to protect its people in Syria. “We must protect our citizens,” Maj.-Gen. Vladimir Gradusov was quoted
by Interfax as saying. “We won’t abandon the Russians and evacuate them
from the conflict zone if necessary.”
What all this means can only be speculated.
