No clue what a Shtora looks like when in action, but I would say this TOW was not the least disturbed.

IMHO, we should keep in mind: the view we get to see in such video is not that of the...

...eventually, it doesn't matter what is Sputnik, what is RT etc. This is a forum about 'Small Wars'. I'll leave it to everybody else to decide if Syrian Civil War is indeed a 'small' war any more,...

I've got very little clue about politics. Can only guess that Turkey and Saudi Arabia want to better coordinate their next moves related to support of insurgents.

Re. what 'rebels' are 'starting...

Actually, this attack killed nearly 50, and about 20 of them were top NDF commanders in the city.

So, it's a double failure (on the part of the MSM).

...just another failed attempt by Oblabla to bring insurgents in northern Syria to their knees - and emphasis is on failed.

Namely, yes: the SDF (that is: YPG + about 200 of US-vetted combatants...

Erm... the aircraft is actually an Assadist Su-22.

OK, then scratch even the two reported VKS Su-25 CAS missions in that area today (would be something like 'only 2 out of another 90 sorties')......

Not that Russians would be doing any better, of course, so they're the wrong to complain: but, can't really say they're wrong in this regards...

Can somebody pinch me, please...?

...after three months of spraying and praying, there's now the first indication of Russians doing something that might make sense after all?

...to a certain degree Bondarenko is right:
- Russians do not 'target' civilians: they drop their bombs in general direction of 'target', then the wind does the rest...

- Russians are missing...

So, even the IRGC-negotiated cease-fires are null and void now; leave or we shall kill you.

Makes one wonder: where are all the regime-fans that were declaring such cease-fires for 'national...

The following is the list of IRGC's or IRGC-run units identified (with help of OSINT) as deployed on different battlefields around Syria (though mostly in southern Aleppo):

Sadly, it was Aloush... and one of rare occassions in which Russian bombs did hit after all...

This is meanwhile confirmed, and it wasn't only JAN. That is: Boshkoy is one prong of this offensive; FSyA is running the other.

Sounds like there are going to be more photos and videos of...

Such analysis is 'all nice and fine', but actually based on nothing more but guessing and supposition of the author.

Namley, there is no irrefutable and independent evidence that Russians are...

After spending most of the last two days analysing and searching for any kind of serious and independent evidence... I cannot but conclude: while everybody is babbling about anything possible in...

The author in question is reporting about something he's got no clue about.

No Syrian insurgent group has ever hidden their cooperation with the JAN, and various groups putting their logos on...

What Russians are doing in Syria has actually nothing in common with description 'military' any more - but in this case I can't but conclude that Higgins is simply wrong.

Yes, the first batches...

Nope. Sorry, but this is simply wrong.

IRGC's Jihadists - whether 'genuine' Iranians, or Hezbollah/Iraq - have absolutely nothing to do in Syria. They're no 'equalizers', but worse in regards of...

It's actually hard to say if they're really 'overstretched'. In essence, they've 'killed' two out of four prongs of regime's offensive on...

I know about such thinking and discussions.

I just do not see this being reality on the ground.

Well, the original aim was to destroy opposition's ability to run 'normal/everyday' life (to organize own authorities, courts etc.), in order to 'show' that there is 'no alternative' to the regime. ...
