The Syrian Navy has 6,500 sailors manning two guided missle frigates, 22 missle attack boats (including two with the most advance Russian missle systems), two sub chaser-killers, and four mine warfare boats.

Information on the Syrian Air Force is highly secretive. However, it is known that their air force is organized into 7 ground attack support squadrons, 20 interceptor squadrons, 12 attack helicopter squadrons, one electronic warfare squadron, and four transportation squadrons. They are known to be equipped with modern Russian planes and helicopters, many the latest and best available in Russia.

So before folks start making noise about attacking Syria, we'd better understand that this ain't no Iraq or Libya.
