In December 2024, following the end of the Assad regime, Syria reinstated its original independence flag, marking a significant shift in national identity. This flag, first adopted in 1932 during the French Mandate, features three horizontal stripes—green, white, and black—with three red stars centered on the white stripe. Each color and star symbolizes Syria’s rich historical and cultural heritage.
Green: Represents the Rashidun Caliphate, symbolizing Islam and prosperity.
White: Symbolizes the Umayyad Caliphate, standing for peace and purity.
Black: Denotes the Abbasid Caliphate, reflecting the struggles Syrians have faced.
Red Stars: Initially represented the three main provinces—Damascus, Aleppo, and Deir ez-Zor. However, in 1936, following the incorporation of Jabal al-Arab and the Latakia region into Syria, the stars’ symbolism evolved: the first star represents Damascus, Aleppo, and Deir ez-Zor collectively; the second star signifies Jabal al-Arab; and the third star symbolizes the Latakia region.
The adoption of this flag was solidified in the 2025 Interim Constitution, specifically in Article 6, which defines the flag’s design and proportions. This change reflects a move away from the previous flag associated with the Assad era and a return to a symbol of unity and independence. The new flag has been raised across the country, including at Syrian embassies worldwide, signifying a new chapter in Syria’s history.
As longs as the Assad flag and all affiliated insignia are kept. Baath flag and the affiliated insignia are historic for their involvements in the Arab-Israeli wars. This history can not be erased.
it would be great to have the modern, accurate flag representing Syria.
Some Friends including me are waiting for it. We want to buy it and use it in game. It represents us.
Main acquisitions of AFVs and aircraft as BMP-1, T62, T-72, Su-17/22, MiGs etc. were made in 1960s-1990s/2000s-2024, with peaks in Hafez Era (Baathist Syria). Su-22M3 were delivered in late 1983, during Hafez’s rule, T-72AV TURMS-T were modernised in 2003(?), during Bashar’s rule. We have no “cargo” AFVs as Finnish Pz / T-34, Israeli Pattons and so on for Syria in the game.
Hopefully is added but not as a substitute, as @Savage_Virus_R6 mentioned, it’s important for history preservation, at the same time players will be able to express themselves the way they want and hopefully keep neutrality from Gaijin’s part.
The flag in game does not need to be updated on existing vehicles, since they are Ba’ath-era vehicles and not anything else. It (if people really want) could be added as a separate decal if Gaijin want to.
The post clearly talks about the decal in the countries flags section, Idk where you got updated on existing vehicles from, regardless, it wouldn’t be an issue if it was updated on vehicles too, since all of them are being used by the new Syrian Arab Army currently
Yes that’s the idea, also it opens the chance for more imported vehicles from NATO/Russia to be added later under Syrian possession, as it seems the new army is going to invest more in advanced weaponry.
Though when I made the post, I only had the decal in mind.
“With Russia’s days in the country most likely numbered, it seems unlikely that Syria’s new leadership will rely on it for arms to the extent the Assad dynasty did for the duration of its rule. They may not even seek Russia as a significant arms supplier at all and make a complete break with this decades-old status quo. Rather than try and rebuild the old military, Syria may start over by acquiring arms from Turkey and other regional countries.” (Forbes, Jan 27, 2025).
Edit: Found out that in oct 2025 syria trying to re-approach to Russia
