    MANPADs are slowing being now threatened to be shipped to FSA......that is the key to forcing Assad to seriously talk and to force Putin to make up his mind.....namely are his aircraft worth the price to keep Assad in power....

    Saudi FM: We Will Step Up Military Aid to Rebels If Talks Fail

    Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir has indicated that Riyadh will increase military assistance to Syria’s rebels if there is no advance in political talks in Geneva.

    Speaking after a meeting with his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Çavuşoğlu on Sunday, Jubeir said the Saudi will “continue to support the opposition militarily if talks fail”.

    Çavuşoğlu said, “We asked the opposition that they can put their conditions to start the negotiations and continue the negotiations. They can leave anytime if they are not implemented

    HNC: No Negotiations With Assad Before Bombardment Stopped, Sieges Lifted and; Detainees Released

    Head of the Syrian opposition High Negotiations Committee’s (HNC) delegation Asaad al-Zoabi said today that the Syrian opposition would not give up their demands for the full implementation of UN Security Council resolution 2254, particularly Articles 12 and 13. He stressed the opposition would not engage in negotiations with the Assad regime before these demands were met

    “We will raise only three issues during our meeting with de Mistura: lifting the sieges, ending Russian bombardment of mainstream rebels and civilians, and releasing political prisoners and detainees, most importantly women and children,” Zoabi added.

    Spokesperson of the High Negotiations Committee, Salem Al-Meslet, said that the positions expressed by representatives of the International Syria Support Group (ISSG) during a meeting with the HNC’s delegation were positive and focused on humanitarian issues.

    The HNC announced the formation of an advisory body to represent women. The body will be composed of 40 women who will act as consultants and will contribute to the negotiation process. The HNC pointed out that the move was taken out of the HNC’s realization of the pressing need for the effective participation of the Syrian woman within the frame of the HNC and the affiliated negotiating team.

    In a statement released today, the HNC said the new body “would result in raising the HNC’s level in terms of representation and expertise as the HNC considers making use of Syrian expertise and national potentials as a guarantee for the success of the HNC and its teams as well as the success of the political process.”

    “Actual and active representation for all components of the Syrian society is the corner stone of the successful political transition in Syria, and that HNC is of the view that empowering women and enhancing their presence in the political process and their participation in decision making shall have positive results on the negotiating process and the future of the Syrian state,” the statement added.

    The op seems to be run by the IRGC - only. That is: IRGC-QF officers leading Afghan and Pakistani mercenaries, and plenty of Iraqi Jihadists, with fire-support from NDF and the 4th Division.

    As far as I can say, the FSyA is reacting with plenty of TOWs - and infantry counterattacks into the flanks, primarily by night. Quite a few of these are including infiltrations.

    ...from the POV of a military analyst, this is quite an interesting development: 20-30 years ago, it was the IRGC that used to excell at nocturnal infiltration attacks...

    Actually, it's primarily an interceptor, or at least 'fighter-interceptor', with secondary air-to-ground capability.

    This deployment was de-facto 'dictated' by regime's ground offensive against the Azaz corridor: this is very close to the Turkish border, and given the VKS now 'must' operate there continuously, it fighter-bombers need additional top cover - provided by these four Su-35s.

    Silly detail on the sideline: the 'best' weapon of these Su-35s - the most advanced type of this kind in VKS - are still 30+ years old R-27ERs (SARH MRAAMs): Russians still haven't got even a single R-77 (AA-12, ARH MRAAMs) in service....

    CrowBat...did you notice the use now of night vision for the TOWs...any idea who might have supplied them?

    There has been as well a not so subtle shift to guerrilla tactics of hit and run and ambushing which seems to have caught the SAA unprepared to say the least especially on their CPs and there has been a slow but steady pickup on the use of IEDs usually mixed with the ambushes.
