    If they actually bothered to take photos instead of copying from others as they have been doing since the invention of Internet then it is historic even indeed:

    A long article detailing the more hidden parts of Russia's involvement in Syria. It covers a wide range of aspects such as the training of Syrian forces from September 2015, strategies for enabling the rapid introduction of T-90 and TOS1A systems, the problems of supply and maintenance of existing SAA equipment, and under-manning / lack of specialists, all in the context of a Syrian military that could barely keep up with a peace-time setting.

    Here comes the big boy, just in case its not all over.

    Yandex translated

    The aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov" in the summer of 2016, it is planned to send into the Mediterranean sea, where it will be headed by a permanent grouping of the Russian Navy in this region. On Saturday, March 5, reports TASS citing a senior source in the main command of the Navy.

    Currently, according to the source, the carrier is located at the 35th shipyard in Murmansk, where the restoration of technical readiness before a long sea trip. "In particular, by early summer, the cellar of an aircraft carrier will need to upgrade to the new types of aircraft munitions", — said Agency.

    What tasks will be set before the aircraft carrier as the flagship of the Mediterranean grouping of the Navy of Russia, TASS did not elaborate.

    The source also said that after going to the Mediterranean to "Admiral Kuznetsov" will arise in the repair of 2-2,5 years. The ship, in particular, needs to upgrade its air group. The head of Department of shipbuilding of the Navy of Russia Vladimir Trapeznikov said earlier that the modernization of "Kuznetsov will have a new wing and new opportunities". According to him, the aircraft carrier will be able to use new MiG-29K.

    The formation of a permanent task force of the Russian Navy in the Mediterranean sea started in 2013. As a rule, on a rotational basis in the region are more than ten ships. Previously, the largest ships of the Russian Navy, who led the group in the Mediterranean, were the heavy nuclear missile cruiser "Peter the Great" missile cruiser "Moskva" and "Varyag" (the latter, flagship of the Pacific fleet is in the Mediterranean now).

    Ships and auxiliary vessels of the Russian Navy participate in the operation against Islamists in Syria, which is carried out at the request of the President of the Arab Republic Bashar al-Assad since last fall. The possibility of "Admiral Kuznetsov" allow it to be used as the vehicle control communications, deployed in the Eastern Mediterranean, and its air group can be used to cover strike aircraft operating in Northern Syria.

    Regardless of all the western rhetoric voiced publicly on the “inaccuracy” of the Russian air strikes in Syria, a confidential NATO analytical report on the issue has admitted Russia’s superiority over the Alliance’s forces and has praised Moscow for the “accuracy and efficiency” of its air strikes.

    The Russian Air Force has been repeatedly denounced for “killing civilians” in Syria, recounts the German magazine Focus Online. Ironically however, NATO praises Russia for the “accuracy and efficiency” in the country, the outlet adds, citing a confidential report written by the Alliance, which Focus Online has apparently got hold of.

    The estimates in the report also suggest that the efficiency of the Russian air troops is by far greater than that of NATO's forces.

    The analysis also points to the high level of professionalism of the Russian military, adding that the impact of the air strikes performed by Russian pilots is a lot higher than that of the Alliance.

    The paper notes that the number of Russian combat aircraft deployed on the ground is “clearly inferior in number” to the jets deployed by NATO, however the higher frequency of the Russian air raids made them more effective.

    The secret document apparently states that 40 Russian combat aircraft stationed at the Russian base in Latakia perform up to 75 sorties daily, each time delivering “accurate and efficient” air strikes, while NATO forces, which have 180 combat jets are able to hit only 20 targets per day.

    The paper also says that Russia is using more advanced combat aircraft in Syria. For example, the SU-35 fighter, which according to the estimates of western experts, is far superior to its western analogues.

    In addition, Moscow also uses data provided by Syrian aerial intelligence, plus Russian Special Forces regularly provide information of the strategically important objects on the ground to the Russian Air Forces.

    Radio B92 started working in 1989. while TV station started in 2000. and yes it was tied with Otpor and certain foreign financial supporters. Had very agressive anti Serbian views during 2000s, it kinda slowed down post 2010.

    B92 is standard MSM bullish*t factory. Like all other media here they do not write anything themselves, they just translate and repost stuff from the web.

    Like Militarov said they toned the pro west BS for some reason lately, probably because they know that if they say what they really mean they will lose all audience (and most importantly, ad revenue) so they alternate content. One day you have translated articles from Yahoo News and Business Insider and other day from Sputnik and RT.

    Serbian journalists, all of them across the spectrum, are nothing more than parasitic prostitute traitors who would sell their own kids for handful of $$$ without hesitation.

    IMHO they all deserve bullet to the head, every last one of them regardless of affiliation, they are all scum.

    They surely prioritise in selling other people's kids first. Anyhow, I still remember their 2000 coup against Milosevic, I was watching on TV the take-over. Few months later they destroyed Yugoslavia and enabled Kosovo ethnic cleansing and Montenegro to split.

    We are going a bit off topic here but Milosevic's epic and neverending incompetence and corruption made it pretty easy for them.
