Syria is not a military allie ?
Has the Soviet Union signed military alliances with ME nations in the past if you know ? Because if not then it makes sense they did not help directly.
There is a treaty of Syria and the Soviet Union from 1980. I do not know whether it is still acting, but it says on the account of a foreign invasion to Syria of the third countries.
As far as can be judged from the constant presence of Russian warships near the coast of Syria for last 2 years may be treaty is still in force.
