    Another brief summary of what's going on in Syria the last few days...

    The Russians have negotiated that 'distribution of Idlib' with Turkey, but at the same time supported the IRGC assault on Idlib. The IRGC then attacked Turks, Turks returned fire. The entire nonsense caused 300,000 additional Syrians to flee in direction of the Turkish border....

    Now, what did the Russians to expect: the Turks to simply accept what's going on?

    ...and as next, the Russians then 'let' Assadists and the IRGC assault the US-supported PKK/PYD/YPG/SDF-conglomerate...

    ...either because Keystone Cops 'suspect' the USA have provided 'Stingers' to HTS, or because it's actually so that the Russians have no control over the IRGC...

    ...man, alone typing this all hurts: this is such mindblowing, absurd nonsense I'm really lacking words...

    Ah well, the titles about the outcome are speaking for themselves:

    - US-led Coalition says Assad regime forces today attacked the SDF headquarters in Syria. Coalition service members, probably US special forces were present during the attack Coalition repelled the attack by conducting air strikes

    - [Details] US Led Coalition kill an estimated 100 SAA troops

    - According to a #SDF commander the US airforce has destroyed more than 20 #SAA vehicles, among them 9 tanks and killed more than 30 #SAA soldiers in northern #DeirEzzor today.

    Re. downed Su-25.... (once again, I've got to return to this topic, and ignore all the massacres of civilians committed by Assadists and Russians ever since)....

    The shot down occurred around 15.00hrs local time (think it was 14.45 or something, actually).

    The first video of the downing was published by Jaysh an-Nasr and showed the right engine on fire: https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video...GMshSKJTM3.mp4

    This claim was forwarded by some of mainstream-media (example: Businessinsider: http://www.businessinsider.de/syrian...18-2?r=US&IR=T), and and even by such Assadist propaganda-platforms like 'al-Masdar News’ (https://www.almasdarnews.com/article...d-pilot-video/).

    About one hour later, the Keystone Cops in Moscow announced the loss, and credited the HTS with it. Immediately afterwards, the 'Eba'a News Agency' - the HTS' news agency - claimed the kill for the HTS.

    ...and then 'everybody jumped the train': all the mainstream-media claimed the kill for the HTS...

    ...and now nobody cares if it was the Jaysh an-Nasr that forwarded pilot's body to Turkey, which then returned it to Moscow...

    That's all 'perfectly logical': after all, why should anybody trouble himself explaining Jaysh an-Nasr - especially in reports where there is rarely more space than 1-2 sentences to do so? It's much easier to claim 'HTS', then everybody knows what is the HTS. Besides, 'they are all terrorists there, alone because they yell Allah-u-Akbar'...

    There's no more sophisticated way of finding out who's a terrorist and who is none... :roll:
