    Here it comes....at some point Turkey and KSA who view themselves as the "defenders of the faith" and in the case of Turkey they still view the region from an Ottoman view.....as Russia has not stopped their killing and starving of Sunni's then at some point Turkey and KSA will step in...

    The interesting point is Putin has spoken a number of times about "engaging NATO"...is he attempting to provoke a NATO confrontation via Turkey as Obama has implied the US will not support Turkey under Article 5 if they engage into Syria....

    Turkey needs to move its border away from our air force.

    Air space violation of course not. The shot down SU-24 also didn't. #Russia proved it. Wait...blackbox broken.

    This is going 2be intense now, #RuAF been intruding #Turkey 4 the last week, now says anymore will get shot down. Jabal Turkman implications

    I been watching it make circles over TRK airspace since a week ago,

    Friendly reminder that you shouldn't believe Turkish allegations as to Russian jet violating Turkish airspace until @mod_russia denies it.

    As mentioned before, Daesh has one TOW-team and few rounds captured from one of FSyA groups they've overrun in Damascus area (apparently in Qalamoun range, on border to Lebanon), early last year.

    This team was active in Palmyra area (against NDF) in summer last year, then against the YPG in Hasaka area, and is now active in eastern Aleppo province. It fired some 4-5 TOWs so far.

    (Note: the 'JAN TOW-team' on attached illustration actually consisted of a BGM-71 set and few rounds captured from former Harakat Hazzm FSyA; this gunner subsequently fled from the JAN and re-joined the 13th Division; he scored a number of additional kills against regime in October and November, but was KIA in December 2015 while fighting for FSyA; ever since, JAN has no operational TOWs.)

    Heard something similar. Seems, this is the second time Kaddour was relieved of his command and replaced by his executive deputy, Maj Gen Zahreddine.

    The first time was back in late summer 2013, while Kaddour was commander of the (then besieged) regime garrison in western Aleppo....

    CrowBat...have you heard about any Russian troops on the ground in Libya...

    This is the third comment seen over the last week indicating presence of Russian troops small in numbers evidently in Libya.

    Being confirmed it's an Orlan-10 tactical UAV, options seem to be :1)Russia has some ground presence in Libya/ 2)The video isn't from Libya

    Possibly GRU Sptenaz as the Orlan 10 is not your average run of the mill UAV for the Russians....has been used a lot over Ukraine for targeting purposes.

    Libya- images of UAV that allegedly crashed 90 km east of #Ajdabiya. No visible markings. Can anyone ID?

    Local residents reportedly found this surveillance drone in eastern Ajdabya after it crashed overnight.

    More unexploded 3-O-10 submunitions from 240-mm rocket-assisted cargo mortar shell 3-O-8 "Nerpa" found in Douma.

    T-90s being carried around #Aleppo on heavy haulers without much action. Seems they fear those guys getting TOWed.
