    Not sure what your view is but up to now the Iranians seem to have held off attacking the Turks, is it possible the Turkish made a bit of a mistake in hitting that Iranian/Lebanese location, and they apparently killed their cleric is Sayyed Ali heyer all Zinjani as well, an Iranian married and living in Homs? This is from Mangier in the last hour or so.

    "The Turks were informed in detail of the position of Hezbollah and the Iranian brigades along with the Syrian army but decided to ignore the information and continued bombing these positions over and over again. It is now clear that Turkey is in the battle with his army to stay." "They killed 9 Hezbollah and 21 from the #IRGC battalion (Fatimiyoun and Zaynabiyoun) in their HQ."

    Then the kicker, my highlight,

    "The Syrian Army and its allies have installed their own anti-air missile defence system over Idlib and Saraqeb to continue the military operation. Any drone or jet is expected to be downed. Now the Syrian Army and its allies are no longer expected to be caught by surprise by allies or enemies above the military operational stage along the M4 and M5."

    "SAA & allies (w/ reinforcements) r regaining momentum. It is not fair for the Turkish Army to be sent along Jihadists coz there will be more casualties. The 36 Turkish soldiers killed on 27th Feb were not alone: 17 jihadists were killed in the same attack but corps left behind."

    I think you are talking about the pictures from the first aircraft today another one was brought down.

    I have no knowledge of contact between Iran and Turkey, it's possible threats made them Turks back off those groups but they are still active in those areas, A Grad was taken out earlier by the Turks. Via a drone around the time the second aircraft was taken out.

    Taking out an Iranian Cleric tho is going to piss off die-hards in Iran very much, it's one thing to kill their proxies but kill their holy leaders ticks them off even more.

    So IMO I don't think Turkey is backing off, they may have paused a bit but that's all Iran isn't in much of a position to do anything against the Turks atm. That could change should Iran move heavier equipment up there but I don't see them doing that right now at least.

    Yes SAA put on AA in the areas, they also declared a no-fly zone. Which was the correct choice that way no one can pull any funny business with civilians aircraft. Again tho the drones aren't the main problem it's the turkish arty, that's what pounding the SAA, I have yet to see them regain any momentum so i consider that wishful thinking.

    Hopefully no civilian aircraft go in the zone. Terrorists use the manpads on everything that flies.

    Artillery is blind without drones. Unless they shell entire cities blind and massacre civilians. Will quickly draw international condemnation.[/quote]

    Someone at SANA has to be high there are no reports of three aircraft, not even US radars detected three downings.

    Rebels only claimed two downings, not three.

    So two shot down Su-24 over Idlib! Russia is doing nothing now, because Erdo is a good friend of Russia and working in the interest of Russia. People can say what they want but Iran and Russia are behaving like cowards! With this behavior Damaskus will fall in 4 months and Hmeimin and Tarus will be part of big Ottoman Empire of Sultan Erdogan I.

    Additional 3 reporters of Sputnik are detained in Turkey.

    Su-35 can make snackbar out of Anka S. Best advertisement for Su-35 on the international market. Will sell like hot cakes.

    Russia is phasing out hundreds of Su-24. Two losses is no big deal. Syria air force is getting hundreds of hand me down Su-24M2 from Russia which convert to Su-34.

    No worries. Drones are much easier to fly. Russia has Orion attack drones. Safe. Pilots control on the ground wearing shorts from hundreds of km away. Deadly as hell. Very easy to train drone pilots. Hell, I myself fly a DJI drone. Only took me days to master a drone and be a pilot. Anyone can fly a drone.

    Are you serious? Arabs are spooked about rise of Ottoman again. Arab League will never ever allow Damascus to fall to Turks again. Even if that means paying billions to Putin to fight Turks.

    They will do nothing! Only country able to react with a good military is Egypt....other countries are crap.

    That's why he sent refugees to Europe (Greece) he wants to destabilize Greece, saying later that Greece is using force against refugees and he must protect them (not now but in a few years). Other reason is to bug eropeans, because he wants more money. EU will do nothing, the leftist will clap happily for refugees and the conservatives will only sulk.

    They pay billions on AD in Syria to down Turkish drones. A delegation just arrived in Damascus today when No Fly Zone was imposed today.

    This was sarcastic!!! Maybe a bit too...I'm sorry! But it's true that turkish forces act complete free with HTS and SAA is suffering very heavy losses. If they suffer too much they will be not able to retake Idlib in the next years. Turkey will not advance to Damaskus, but HTS will not stop in Idlib....so only problems and dead civilians in the next years.

    My personal opinion is that it's tactic from Russia and Iran to blame Turkey for warcrimes, that they can react in some way. The currency of war is blood, so maybe a lot of syrian blood must flow to wake up the world against turkish crimes. And additional Turkey is not making friends at Greece border. But this tactic could go wrong, they lost 1/3 of the area captured in South Idlib in less than 20 hours.

    And what is with the turkish outposts? Turkish soldiers here deep inside SAA territory are not attacked and Turkish army is pounding SAA very heavy. Makes no sense!

    Some things at moment makes no sense!!! So we have to wait.

    Source? The F-16 have not entered Syrian Airspace...it was long range missiles fired outside of Syria or AD-systems deployed by turkish army.
