    A no fly zone now? LMAO.

    Why now with the election so soon? He'll be blind sided at some spot since they're coming at him from various directions. And if we talk a no fly zone it better be for all of Syria, not just West of the Euphrates (leaving the East to the Americans). The "deal". As if it's their land to negotiate such boundaries but then again Syria will take what it can.

    Russia and Putin had the perfect opportunity and excuse after the first strike. He didn't take it because #1 he wasn't sure what to do and how to respond and #2 he still believes he can rationally work something out - intentionally naive just like the traitor Gorbachev cause he knows damn well any lapse on his part plays into the U.S hands and he lapsed for fear of escalation and the wild paths it can take. The Americans know this and exploit this to their advantage - as they clearly have. They test their opponent with things of this sort and strategize.

    Now the gifts (plural) are being prepared and they're going to be presented nicely to him from a variety of fronts for his re-election party bash. The British are already sending him greeting cards.... If a vote is called on the U.N I wonder if China will abstain - instead of vote Nay. That will be interesting to see.

    Factories running too slow in Russia - not up to the pressing needs of the time....

    The only thing Putin has at his disposal I'm afraid, is, "strategic patience". He'll milk that for as long as he can aka take it up the ass while pretending not to. You can apply whatever meaning you like to that phrase. Russia in a quarrel with Ukraine (Russian land historically), dismembered and poor. I ask again, how is Gorby and the Soviet leadership at the time not hanging in Moscow square? It's easy to destroy, much harder, insanely much harder to build. Not a single bullet thrown (that was worth a damn anyway)...the 1991 "coup" failed. Thus you reach the conclusion, that Russia deserves what it gets, because weakness is not rewarded, and fairness and righteousness has nothing to do with how the world works.

    @Moved from Russia in Sy thread


    US will not attack Russians. They will attack some SAA position and they will tell Russians in advance where will they strike, like that last time.
    They are just barking, after this strike(if they even happen) SAA will clear Ghouta and go to next objective. US cannot do anything.

    They just need to be ignored again. US will probably pick some targets like last time, Airports from where planes took of toward Ghouta or some stationary positions around. But if they attack Damascus SAA will probably try to shot down those missiles.

    US military never take big risk on anything.. so is likely that by now
    all military in At Tanf, base are just arabs terrorist trained by US and that the Americans have been ordered to
    retreat waiting for the Russian retaliation  airstrike that could happen ,if they go ahead with their plans
    to strike Syrian army. It could be done to test Russia commitment to fight back..

    So my guess is Russia defense ministry will have that base ,on the cross hair as one of the first
    targets to hit.. but also at US positions in South of Syria and even in RAQQA. But American warships positions
    have to be monitored too ,because any major attack with Russian soldiers killed could provoke Russia to hit
    even American warships.. so it will be ugly. but it will have to be done.. otherwise Putin Risk , their military
    to continuosly being hit by Americans. on the pretext that it was "self defense" or that it was because
    "Assad chemical weapons".

    My best guess is that this time Russia will give a major slap in the face of any nation who hit Russian positions.
    whether there are injured soldiers or not.

    Things are getting intense in Syria, the reason for this is that US backed terrorists are close to being killed and defeated. Russia would be smart to strengthen it's forces, sent in more Fighter Jets, War Ships and Surveillance Planes.

    This will be very hard, may god bless and give strength to those that are going to battle here. The terrorists have had a long time to to dig in, make tunnels and get ready for this. Air support will be crucial here and keep the S 400 and other Air Defenses ready, the American cunts will try something.

    "Thousands evacuated as families, injured leave E. Ghouta during ceasefire (PHOTOS, VIDEO)."

    With almost all of the civilians gone, the SAA and Russian Air force can just level it tot he ground. If the civilians are taken out, than it will be much easier.

    Because it will contradict American and European elite pro NATO disinformation media narrative
    of "Evil Assad", "evil Russia" "bombing hospitals" and using chemicals to kill its own people.. Wink
     they neither reported Aleppo liberation properly..
    I saw CNN report of Aleppo liberation and was very creepy , almost they had no words to say ,
    lasted a few seconds the report.. no questions , no explanations ,just a video of civilians evacuated and then crocodile tears for their suffering.

    Better late then ever. Tochkas could be used in US occupation zoned to reach terrorist camps Smile



    The Syrian army covered the terrorists with "Tochkas" in Northern Hama

    The Syrian army continues to use the missile systems "Tochka" against terrorist gangs. A spectacular photo of the rocket's launch from a self-propelled launcher appeared on the web. This time, the blow was struck at the positions of extremists in Northern Hama.

    https://twitter.com/WaelAlRussi/status/973934210816839681/photo/1

    t should be noted that tactical complexes, also known under NATO code SS-21 Scarab, were first used in Syria in late December 2012. Since then, several dozen missiles have been fired over the enemy.

    Photo: Vladimir Akimov / RIA Novosti
    Deadly "Kosterok": In Syria, more often used GP-25
    Such weapons were used for pinpoint strikes against the most important targets: identified headquarters, large groups of enemy manpower, defense units, warehouses, etc. Sometimes, several blows were enough to significantly reduce the activity of militants.

    Complexes "Point" can hit targets at a distance of 70 km. The weight of the rocket is 2 tons. The fragmentation-explosive part is almost half a ton.

    At present, modernized "Tochka-U" is also being used in Syria, which are distinguished by higher accuracy and range of flight up to a distance of 120 km.

    In addition, the Syrian military equipped missile launchers and transport-loading vehicles with additional armor.

    The peculiarity of the complex is that it is created on the chassis of a floating conveyor weighing 18 tons. The diesel engine provides a power of 300 hp.

    On the highway the unit can travel at a speed of 60 km / h, on water - up to 8 km / h. The power reserve for fuel reaches 650 km. Combat calculation - 3 people.

    First casualties of Americans in an aircraft crash in Syria.. and likely were shot down by manpads.. not by accident.
    So lets compare it with Russian casualties>? Russia have how many people killed in just accidents .. 100+ ?

    Astana meeting involving Turkish, Russian and Iranian FMs continued today. Couple of days ago, CENTCOM commander of US military Votel said "Russia tries to disrupt relations between US and its "ally" Turkey." Most probably referring to triple Astana mechanism for Syria.

    Although these three countries are ironically historical rivals/ sometimes enemies of each other, and most probably will have some disagreements over negotiations, none of them would have a common base of understanding with US unless they say OK to what Americans ask them to do.

    Crazy how small is the zone the terrorist hold..and only do it because of the civilians ,they have as prisoner..
    The terrorist are all at range literary of sniper rifle.. from any side ,so they will have major issues in mobility.
    They will need to evade bullets ,even when going to the toilet. So the remaining terrorist can be harassed just
    with a hundred of snipers..

    After eastern Ghouta they need to clean souther damascus and all small packets around it..
    and after that cleared Homs. and Hama ,then finally IDLIB.
