Syrian military forces hold exercises and drills on land and sea in the face of foreign sabre rattling on behalf of the hopelessly divided terrorist factions at the 'Friends' Of Syria meeting. The Syrian government is holding remarkably strong at a time of incredible terrorism challenges and is ready to repel any challenges made by foreign aggressors on behalf of the terrorists.

In this way, Syria differs greatly from several other countries in the Arab Spring, such as Yemen where the government essentially collapsed from within due to high level defections. The Syrian government is essentially unified, as the Syrian protests were never really peaceful and were quickly hijacked by terrorist groups. This only solidified the support for the government in the fight against foreign sponsored extremism. In Yemen by way of example, the military was split down the middle in an organised manner, not a dad's army rag bunch defection to random terrorist cells. And also by way of example, the Yemen army gained the respect of the people by upholding the peace, not destroying it by conducting suicide missions, IED bombings, assassinations, executions, occupation of residential areas, terrorist attacks on public institutions, etc, which is what has been done in Syria by stark contrast.

The exercises are a continuation of the movements of July 7th 2012, some of which are shown in another video:
