Are there any other sources for this. The quoted source is not IMHO one of the better sources to use. It is a strange one.

The Russian naval base is one reason and I guess another is Russia aint buying the Wests bull crap. But lets ask the same question about Israel.. Why do the west feel Israel is so important?

From other sources it seems these may have been placed as early as last June, although they may also be under Soviet control.

(Reuters) - Moscow is supplying arms to Syria under Soviet-era commitments and were meant for defense against external threats, not to support President Bashar al-Assad, Russia's foreign minister told an Egyptian newspaper.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told Egypt's state al-Ahram daily in an interview published on Monday that the arms still being sent to Damascus were part of old Soviet contracts and did not violate international law.
