    Combined #Assad/#YPG forces are now only 4 km from the location, where a regime jet bombed #TurkishArmy forces last night.

    Attacks on #EuphratesShield forces north of al-Bab from the west and the east now.
    #Turkey has no allies on the ground (beyond #FSA).

    Putin gave Erdogan security guarantees to surrender Aleppo for fighting ISIS in N Syria.
    Then he allowed YPG & Assad to attack his troops.

    Not sure if I should laugh or cry, seeing how #Turkey, #YPG, #Assad and even #ISIS are played by #Russia to weaken each other inside #Syria.

    Syria New contact area btw #FSA (#EuphratesShield) & #Assad-forces in northern #Aleppo

    Translation: "Stop attacking us for god's sake, we have a deal with your master!"

    Turkey PM: "We have strongly warned all sides about any future attacks.This will not derail us from our goals."

    Additional air strikes were flown

    - by the THK against the Daesh and the PKK/PYD/YPG during the afternoon and evening,

    - but also by Assadists against the TSK/FSyA Forces around al-Bab.

    Indeed, meanwhile there are rumours that the third 'wave' of air strikes involved not only SyAAF, but VKS aircraft too. Rumour has it, another Turkish soldier was KIA, and several injured.

    Official Turkish sources deny any additional strikes, though. Supposedly, the second 'strike' should've been a mortar grenade from the Daesh, and the third 'never happened'.

    Similarly, some of Assad-fans report, the Syrian military denied any further air strikes.

    But still.. notable in this regards are following today's statements by Russian spokeswoman for the FM, Zakharova:
    Russia believes that Turkey has learned a lesson from last year’s tragedy in which a Russian Su-24 bomber was shot down by Turkey and a pilot was killed, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Thursday.

    "As for the tragedy that occurred a year ago, it seems to me that it is the Turkish side that must give comments on this day, not us," she said. "We said a lot, and it should be noted that the Turkish side has made adequate conclusions, on the basis of which and after respective statements, the decision was made to restore relations," she added.

    "I think that the Turkish side has drawn necessary lessons," she added. "And accordingly, a mechanism for restoration of relations was launched," she said.

    Zakharova said "it is very simple to mar relations, but it is very difficult to bring things back to the former level" and although Russia is demonstrating a bid to get relations back on track, "it is a long process as much time has been missed".
    ...
    This can be interpreted as following: we've pulled you by the nose with that 'groundbreaking agreement' on Aleppo. Now you're alone against all of us here, and you'll pay for what happened one year ago.

    The only thing 'proven beyond doubt' in regards of deployment of CWs in Syria is, that these are deployed by the regime only.

    So, sort this BS in the same file with all the other Russian BS there...

    Not entirely. Since Sissi explained that the militaries of Egypt and Syria should 'cooperate in combating terrorism', Egyptian military has deployed something like 'monitoring team' to Syria.

    Apparently, some of these visited Hama - but no F-16s were deployed there: although the local air base remains operational, and helicopters, L-39s, MiG-21s and MiG-23s based there are still flying about a dozen of sorties a day, the place is still regularly rocketed by insurgents. Means: this would be the worst imaginable place for deployment of F-16s.

    Anyway, rumour has it, this 'Egyptian delegation/team' might be a vanguard for some sort of larger operation, supposedly planned to be launched in early 2017. But, right now, I'm sorting such rumours under 'usual background noise' in cases of this kind (especially when it comes to 'Arabs').

    That said, I'm sure that Putin is hard at getting Egyptians involved in Syria: that would be a major PR-coup. I'm sure that Sissi is curious to 'confront Turks' too, like his troops are already doing in Libya.

    Just... sigh... well, Egyptians can't bring the Daesh on the Sinai under control - but should help 'combat terrorism' in Syria...?

    CrowBat.....what the heck is Assad up to...at some point he will in fact provoke a Turkish retaliation attack just because the Turkish people demand it....this is getting solid play in the Erdogan media outlets right now....would not think Putin wants to widen this war to include TAF engaging directly against Assad even though some in the Assad inner circle seem to want to attack Turkey directly.

    No-fly zone declared to Assad’s planes over Bab, Afrin, Jerabulus and Manbij by Turkish Army since last midnight.

    Right after the announcement....
    4 Turkish F-16s still hovering over Al-Bab.
    Probably waiting for some Assadite plane show up.

    About 1 hr ago, Turkish F-16s escorted by fighter jets resumed bombing the surroundings of Al-Bab.

    4 Turkish F-16s, 2 F-4s and 1 KC-135 Stratotanker are hovering over North Syria since last midnight.


    Air war heating up between Assad and Turkey...not so sure Russia wants it to go this way....

    Breaking: Assad's warplanes attack Turkish military camp in Azraq village. Injuries reported. Turkish tank on fire. #Syria

    Deep last night, some Russian plane made a direct flight from Latakia to Ankara. Reason unknown so far.
