Russian Syrian Express.....
Russian Navy's Tapir class LST "NIKOLAI FILCHENKOV" 152 southbound on the İstanbul Strait en route to Tartus/Syria (8:20 am local)
She is riding actually a tad high for such previous supply runs....
Russia has failed to comply with three major armored reductions ie destruction rounds that all other OSCE members did in fact complete....first Russia argued they were fighting in Chechnya and could not comply and then Georgia came along and then silence from Russia....
THESE tanks were part of the required 3000 that needed to be destroyed but were not.....
Based upon new picture from the port of Tartus, @mod_russia is “destroying” tanks T-62 by transferring them to Assad

DeirEzzor: #ISIS has killed #Assad Lieutenant Osama Mohammed Noman Jliti from #Baniyas, #Tartus Province.
DeirEzzor: #ISIS has captured a regime field hospital northwest of the #DeirEzzor Airport.
DeirEzzor: #ISIS has captured 17 pro-#Assad forces since the morning. Reports they could be from the Republican Guard.
DeirEzzor: Pro-#Assad forces are searching for more civilians they can send to the frontline. Many were arrested since the morning.
Democratic rep. Tulsi Gabbard just back from Damascus, aides decline question over whether she met with Assad:
http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/01/18/...rip-to-syria/#
She still has not stated she accepts the fact that Assad is a genocidal dictator...and she was in the US military......
@TulsiGabbard violated the US law by visiting Assad regime who committed countless war crimes. Potential 3 y Jail

Russia gives Turkey influence in Syria and the right to crush a YPG-initiated Kurdistan. In return Turkey weakens NATO.

Damascus: #FSA Colonel Hamoud Douka was killed in the battle in #Wadi_Barada today. 1 woman & 1 child were killed by #Hezbollah.
All claims of "precise airstrikes" today unlikely
Yes, when you run out of targets on your UNSCR to enforce a no-fly zone, it makes perfect sense to intervene in the civil war on behalf of the rebels, and fly CAS for them and their Qatari friends from out of town...
EDIT: Oh, and I believe that this is what Puhkov meant, that the Russian Air Force lacked sufficient targets.
Well worth reading.....

To clarify, Ahrar al-Sham refused to attend #Astana because:
1) Ceasefire failure & attacks on #WadiBarada
2) Russia jets still bombing
3) Military dynamics governing the conference
4) To prevent internal opposition conflicts & to avoid isolating factions not going, incl. JFS
Intriguingly, Ahrar al-Sham says that its decision not to go to #Astana “could be wrong” & that “we support” all those who are going.
Latakia: Rebel snipers have killed 2 pro-#Assad forces on #Turkmen_Mountain in Northern #Latakia today.
