A report by ‘The Telegraph’ details the sudden collapse of the Syrian Army, highlighting factors such as low wages, a lack of experience, and poor morale. The opposition has successfully confused the military with effective tactics and propaganda. Retired British Colonel comments on the army’s reliance on fear and Russian support. Analysts point out that military leaders are more focused on smuggling than defense. The announcement by former President Bashar al-Assad to raise military salaries is deemed insufficient to boost morale, leading to the expected collapse amid deteriorating state conditions.
