List of equipment of the Syrian Army

This is an inventory of military equipment currently operated by the Syrian Arab Army. The organization and military doctrine of the former Ba'athist-led Syrian Arab Armed Forces were influenced by the doctrines of the Soviet Union, Syria's closest ally. The Syrian Arab Army has traditionally relied on the Soviet Union and its successor the Russian Federation as its main supplier of military equipment. As a result of the Syrian civil war, many vehicles and much heavy equipment has been destroyed or captured, with some stores being partially replenished from Russian stocks.

Following the fall of the Assad regime, Israel launched several strikes on Syrian strategic bases, destroying up to 80% of the country's ammunition stocks as well as their navy, most of their air force and the majority of their strategic weapons stocks. Restructuring of the Syrian military is currently ongoing with Turkish military assistance.
