    Damascus: Rebels have destroyed 2 #Assad tanks near #Hazrama village today.

    U.S., Russian pilots play risky game over Syria. Near misses despite the US-Russian mechanisms meant to prevent them

    Default It's a ceasefire, well no it's not

    President Assad was interviewed by French TV and amidst his comments was this:
    There’s breaching of that ceasefire on a daily basis in Syria, including Damascus, but in Damascus mainly because the terrorists occupy the main source of water of Damascus where more than five million civilians are deprived from water for the last three weeks now.The role of the Syrian Army is to liberate that area in order to prevent those terrorists from using that water in order to suffocate the capital.

    Reference the crashed TU-154 heading to Syria.......

    Today
    https://m.lenta.ru/news/2017/01/10/konashenkov/#
    … they deny mistake, pilots were experienced.

    Russia has initially sited possible pilot error as the cause of the crash.....

    Tu154 crash has made different siloviki clans on war footing by accusing via scapegoats each other in the accident.

    There was a single solitary lone by itself comment that alluded to the fact that a lot of Russian hybrid warfare experience was destroyed with the crash....SO who was exactly on the plane when it went do that is not being reflected on the passenger list....???

    Default And the Russo-Turkish Ceasefire Hums Along...

    #SAA began the regular artillery attack/airstrikes in East Aleppo CS.
    This means a new offensive in #SAA's literature
