    More Russian airlift coming into Syria----
    RUAF Tu-154 85155 Chkalovsky-Teheran, Iran

    RuAF Su-24s are flying with 16° swept wings, while SyAAF Su-24s are -almost- always seen with 35°/45° swept wings

    Russian Su-30SM returning from the mission with ECM pods and AA missiles

    Tail # of RF aircraft in Syria suggest they're from Shagol (SU-24), Primorsko-Akhtarsk (SU-25), & Voronezh (SU-34) http://bmpd.livejournal.com/1500602.html

    Interesting to see two (armed) Su-25UB combat trainers at #Latakia. Fast FAC(A)?

    Multiple operation rooms and closer coordination have been announced over the past couple of days in Syria, including Homs and Damascus.

    People overstate the potential impact of Russia's intervention & underestimate what the rebels could still do, in areas like Homs & Damascus

    Rebels' western/regional backers aren't hapless. In fact we all know rebels in the south are often restrained & pressured not to go too far.

    So the rebels & their backers still have more leverage than utilised, in contrast to Russian & Hiz+Iran that already did almost their worst.

    Syria President: Russia Campaign Must Succeed

    In an interview with Assad, he said,

    "What is for certain is that the Western officials are lost, lack clarity of vision and are feeling the failure of their plots (toward Syria)," he said. "The only goal that was realized ... is the destruction of much infrastructure in Syria, shedding lots of blood."

    Now, the Western governments are paying the price of their failed policy in Syria, he said, because terrorism has been exported to them as well as a huge influx of refugees.
    He also noted all the Western military aid has accomplished is prolonging the conflict, which in turn results in more suffering. He added, if the Russian campaign fails the entire region is pretty much doomed. I suspect we'll see if that is true or not, because I see little hope for the Russian campaign to succeed.

    Russian press article suggesting ISIS and Maidan are "related"

    Russian propaganda porn is now officially out of control as they attempt to "motivate" their own society to support the Putin "adventure in Syria" that the majority still refuses to support.

    Very alarming! 5 #hospitals are targeted in different areas in #Syria by the #Russian bombing campaign in its first week. @BBCBreaking

    More footage of the cluster munitions dropped by Russian jets on non-ISIS targets in Kafr Halab, #Aleppo, #Syria

    JAI executed #ISIS security official Ahmad Haniya in southern #Damascus, #Syria today.

    Local activists in #Hama: Russians set-up a new com-center in al-Furousiya stadium. 1000 troops already in the city.

    Huge if true: U.S Led MOC in Jordan agree to fund rebels w/o pre conditions that #FSA must not co-op w/ Nusra/Ahrar


    We know there is a ceasefire btw #ISIL and rebels in Qadam #Damascus but what about northern #Aleppo? didn't hear anything for while now.

    FSA Coastal Brigade position attacked by RuAF in Turkman Mount #Latakia just across the Turkish boarders.

    Key witness of Assad's torture photos is a refugee in Germany https://en.zamanalwsl.net/news/11815.html

    Key executioner of Assad's torture photos is a refugee in Germany. #Syria

    A MAJORITY of these torture photos come from children that were captured, tortured and then killed.

    Not so sure Putin fully understands Turkey will fire on their aircraft in the coming days--a radar lock on is a blatant warning for the next time in the world of militaries---five mile border zone and or crossing of the border will be the reasons.

    Also notice the RuAF is not coming anywhere close to the Israeli border.

    Turkish defense radar locked on Russian fighter as it bombed Syrian town

    Highlights
    Turkey treats as threatening any aircraft within 5 miles of border

    Officials: Turkey would have attacked had jet crossed border

    Incident a reminder that risk is high of a potential unintended confrontation

    While the Human Rights Watch blasted the Ukraine for it's ALLEDGED use of cluster munitions which turned out to be massive Russian propaganda--WHEN now Syrian social media literally posts actual use of cluster munitions by the Russians via video evidence--TOTAL SILENCE......why is that????

    Why is @hrw completely silent on #Russia killing civilians using clusterbombs in #Syria?

    Man are the Russian propagandists getting into this "war thing".

    IS the Russian fighting in Syria symbolizing the fight with the US with IS representing the US--seems so.

    Is Turkey getting ready to pull the trigger on NATO's Article 5??????

    Turkey consulting US, France, Italy, UK, Germany & @NATO Sec Gen after #Russia violated its airspace
    http://www.mfa.gov.tr/no_-269_-05-oc...ircraft.en.mfa

    Turkey PM warns will activate rules of engagement if air space violated: http://u.afp.com/ZpeS @AFP

    Only way for #Russia to win a war with #Turkey is to nuke #NATO-member Turkey... a super-stupid idea, but with the Kremlin you never know...

    And Russia has been doing the same thing to Turkey in the Black Sea since last year.

    OH... here we go again with the Russian eastern Ukraine excuse of "we got lost"---RuAF has a very tight command and control regime--he did not get "lost".

    NATO will meet today to discuss #Russia's provocation, #Kremlin meanwhile claims it was due to navigation error
