11th Armored Division (Syria)

11th Armored Division (Arabic: الفرقة 11 مدرعة) was an elite formation of the Syrian Army.

For that, late Commander in Chief President of Syria Hafez al-Assad instructed the establishment of a new armored division, with the number designation 11.

Until then, several units of the division took part in the most complex Siege of Abu al-Duhur Airbase between 2012 and 2015, where the army eventually suffered heavy losses and defeat.

[18] In 2017, the division took part of two government offensives, during which the Army recaptured all lost territory in previous years.

[19] Meanwhile, the 60th and 67th Brigades and the 135th Regiment have mostly fought on the eastern edges of the Homs Governorate, particularly around Palmyra as well as throughout Deir ez-Zor.
