Yes great news, if its been taken ans situation stabilized. I didn't expect this to come so soon.
Now the time is to advance the Pantsir and BuK-M to protect the Thermal power station coz this is now a legitimate target for the terrorists airforce.

Nice. That area is a very tough terrain and its going to be slow progress. A dozen UCAVs buzzing over and taking out the small groups and TOW units would be good. IMHO.

Ahrar al-Sham claims to have downed a drone over Aleppo. Even tho they claimed its Russian Enix Aileron its way too big for that.

Its most likely Skywalker X8, its not real UAV, more like fatass flying wing model. Question stays, who operated it.

I wonder why by graphic footage this terrorist scum always in groups one by one. Is this because SAA soldiers brought carcasses together for filming?

In this case it's not, they're mostly groupings of 2 what is the way the FSA have started their positional fighting since 2014. That grouping of 2 is common in most (insert 4 letters here) military structures out of foxholes of defensive position.

I don't say it's evidence to who formed them, but you get the hunch.

Also these are Iranians (iranian backed) in action (notice KLF rifle @ 1:57 & 3:32 + 1 shot Fajr-1 107mm Rocket launcher and camo)

The group in that video looks very calm and methodical. Good training is what we see here.
From the leftover food and empty plates, looks like some good intel was employed, on when these morons take their lunch.
They assaulted when the opposition was weak.

I'd say that 8 guys on a settlement is the standart the FSA has in permanence. It's like the checkpoint system the SAA uses (usually 10/12 people).

However this time they were flanked, you can see body on 3:47 took a frag and bullets on the sam location and the three others were shot while trying to exit the positions. So the guys crept on them while the support group was pounding them in front.

Reportedly, over the morning service of the ship found at a distance of about 1 km Turkish ship approaching the anchored IC "Clever" to starboard. Despite many attempts at "Clever", the Turkish seiner crew was not in radio contact with Russian sailors and did not respond to the special visual signals of the luminous semaphore and signal rockets.
When approaching the Turkish Seiners with the Russian escort ship at a distance of about 600 meters, in order to prevent collisions of ships, while moving on the Turkish ship at a distance of a guaranteed neoregelia was applied to small arms.

Vladimir Putin: regarding the strikes of the submarine. Of course, we should analyse everything that happens on the battlefield, how the weapons works. And "Gauges", and missiles X‑101, in General, have proven themselves very well. This new, modern and highly effective, we understand it now, precision weapons, and can be equipped as a normal warhead, and a special warhead, that is, with nuclear content.

Of course, in the fight against terrorists does not need any, hopefully never will need. But in General, this indicates a significant move forward from the point of view of improvement of weapons and equipment, which arrives in the Russian army and the Navy.

“The ISIL [Daesh] positions in Maheen and Quaryatayn in the Central Homs province came under several air attacks by Syrian bombers, inflicting heavy damage on the terrorists' sites,” FARS news agency reported citing sources as saying.

Similarly, Khneifis and Hama province saw a heavy bombardment of the Daesh terrorists’ defense lines, resulting in the killing and wounding of many militants.

“The Syrian air fleet also carried out combat flights over the ISIL [Daesh] centers in Ein al-Jamajmeh and al-Nejarah in the Northern Province of Aleppo, in which dozens of militants were killed or wounded and their military grid was also destroyed,” the sources said.

At least 33 Daesh terrorists were killed in the Syrian air attack on the three provinces. Earlier reports said that the Syrian fighter jets conducted several combat sorties over Daesh centers in at least four key battlefronts in Homs province, and bombed them heavier than ever, FARS reported.

The air attacks have paved the way for the country's ground forces to retake the towns and villages and move towards the ancient city of Palmyra.
