Russia needs warm water ports. Syria provides that.
They have a port and submarine base in Sevastopol on the Crimean peninsula which is why they annexed Crimea. They have a huge underground (inside of a mountain) submarine factory and base there in Sevastopol. The Soviet Union built almost all of their subs there.
