    The English word for what seems to be happening to the SDF is a 'rout'.

    Putin don't care about Christians in Syria. Putin is a slave of Israel. That's why Putin prolongs the war in Syria to kill Syrians at Israel's orders.

    Mahardah's population was estimated to be 22,442 in 2010. The inhabitants are predominantly Christians.

    Good read, about Christians in Syria, Al-Suqaylabiyah and more.
    Quwat al-Ghadab: A Pro-Assad Christian Militia in Suqaylabiyah
    http://www.joshualandis.com/blog/quwat-al-ghadab-pro-assad-christian-militia-suqaylabiyah/

    A more local formation of interest in the west of Syria is Quwat al-Ghadab (‘The Forces of Rage’), which is based in the Christian (specifically Greek Orthodox) town of Suqaylabiyah in northwestern Hama province. Suqaylabiyah is known as a base of support for the regime and hosts multiple political and military actors on the regime side, including a local branch of the National Defence Forces (NDF) and a local branch of the SSNP.*** According to one representative for Quwat al-Ghadab, the militia’s founding dates to 16 March 2013 in order to defend Suqaylabiyah and its countryside, and it is affiliated with the Republican Guard and the general command for Syria’s army and armed forces. Some posts also point to links with Syrian air intelligence, such as this notification on the New Year for 2016 featuring a Syrian air intelligence logo... wrote:

    If Turks march on Aleppo, I don't think Russia will involve in a shooting war with NATO. This is getting dangerous. Turks must not take Al Bab.

    Russia refuses to provide counter battery radars. These artillery out in the open like that is sitting duck if SAA has counter battery radars like Ukraine got from the US.

    There's not much anyone can do when their commanders and fighters are that incompetent. Good idea to limit support.

    SAA urgently needs counter battery radars to locate and destroy bad people artillery. Why don't Russia supply some? Even Ukraine got counter battery radars from the US.

    Israel News live....  AHAHAHAHAHA.  Reality is, they may send some people to help, but that is about it.

    Russia has shit ton of money and people to throw at it.  Smartest thing would have been to actually legitimize private military companies at the official level, not some contracting companies that deal with some work here and there.  Would have provided lots of jobs to immigrants in Russia whom cant find much else work, and provide security and stability for Syria.

    https://southfront.org/russian-army-convoy-arrives-in-aleppo/

    So essentially advisers. Maybe they will start taking command, dunno. but I wouldn't risk it imo since it is a shitshow and relying on SAA to be able to the bulwark while your men in the same area, isn't the best idea. Maybe the Russian authorities are finally pissed off on how long it is taking?

    Russia seems to like using embedded forward air controllers, coordinating gunships to cover the SAA advances, similar to the Palmyra operation. I highly doubt the SAA has the training and know-how to competently utilize CAS.

    Why for? The Russians are already there by bombing both from air and ground. I can think of a lot of ways a Russian battalion could have made the whole Aleppo ordeal impossible for the beardies. But what do I know.
    Although I agree with you on this. If Russians were to fight, they should have been there in early August not now.

    I think Russians are too scared of casualties which would sway public opinion against Putin. That's why Russia does not commit ground forces. Although, I doubt bad people dare to fight Russian ground forces in the first place and had Russia committed ground forces like Turkey did, Aleppo would have been cleared of bad people within days.

    Clearly. Russia's objective is prolonging the war by not supplying counter battery radars. If SAA has counter battery radars, bad people artillery would be located and wiped out and the war would be over in weeks. Russia is in Syria to carry out Israel's orders.

    Some people are reporting fighting has reached Khattab town in North Hama. So the rebels have advanced about 10km in 2 days. I guess that's the problem with relocating fighters to Idlib. Their terrorist statelet gets stronger and they can do big offensives like South Aleppo or this Hama push.

    Edit: Leith reports Khattab has been captured. Crazy advance.
