This video contains material that I have been looking for for many months.

I have seen the full-length clip I am referring to, but I can't find it on the YouTube anymore.

Does someone have a link to the clip I am referring to?

This is neither Russian nor Iranian air force. It's Iraqi air force and army aviation, in the video you see Mi-35M attacks as well as hellfire missiles being used.
The clips, you can find them on youtube channel: Iraqi MoD. Old clips btw.

the propaganda is getting desperate sometimes, i immediately recognized the video at the end of the catched "sniper" with a "shotgun" with which he "sniped".... it was big news here in germany, it was a german hunter and a swedish one in tunisia who hunted legally ther only then the overthrow happened (not the best time to have a gun) he was later released when the mistake was found out by the police when the army saved them from the mob

Nice of Russia but they need certain upgrades for them to be effective. Thermal being one of them. Maybe an active protective system.

Thanks Militarov

You welcome. Not that its of great importance but they can fire 9M119 Svir and 9M119M Refleks GLATGMs, Syrians operate mix of T72M/M1/M1V with last one being often called "AV" by people for... unknown reason.

From Syria with Love

I think it came from a translation or mis-translation when Anna news were interviewing a T-72 tanker in Daraya ever since then "AV" sticked.

Some sources claimed Syria obtained 300 T72As in early 80s however there was never confirmation of that, coz its basically impossible to tell, it might be some half breed between T72M and T72A however i do not belive they ever got delivered Urals as they were for USSR domestic use. So that MIGHT be also one of the reasons for that.

Good point. They could also do it through offers like get newer capable tanks for fraction of cost for contracts to Russian companies like Gazprom or Lukoil for Syrias energy development.

But yes, cage armor would do wonders.

Well, that's a double strike against me. Let's sum this up. I am now the subject of a yeehad for two reasons, I am Russian and American, and the orcs consider me/us terrorists and separatists. What next, our four legged children will turn on us because they didn't get rib eye for dinner?

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The United States saw no indication that the Syrian army, supported by Russian air force, made any advances on the territories seized by the Islamic State (ISIL) terrorists, Operation Inherent Resolve spokesperson Steve Warren said on Tuesday. “I haven’t seen any indication that the Assad regime has been able to make progress based on the Russian airstrikes,” Warren stated in a briefing.

Warren’s statement contradicts recent reports by the Syrian authorities.

On Saturday, political chief of the Syrian army, Gen. Samir Suleiman, said Syrian forces continued advances on the territories seized by IS terrorists, and over the past days liberated a valley 15 miles away from the city of Idlib. The Syrian general added that Russian airstrikes that destroyed ammunition depots and militant bases in the valley and in the major city of Jisr al-Shughur, a stronghold of militants, seriously undermined the militants' fighting capabilities and provided the Syrian army with an opportunity to attack.

I remember back in 80ès Soviet secret service guys actually cut heads to terrorists in Lebanon for abducting Soviet citizens and throw the bag with cut heads to sheikh house., Abducted were returned and things calmed down. Russians basically have better understanding of their psychology than the West. As it was said in one of old Soviet movies White Sun of the desert (восток дело тонкое петруха)
