Actually it's the Su-30SM that's on air patrol, not the Su-35.

good correction, thanx man. i forgot for a moment the small "wings" on the front of the main wings and its other characteristic features.

I just feel that there is a gap between "overkill" (expensive to fly) SU-24 and the "fixed-wing HIND" SU-25, and that using SU-17 or Mig-27 instead for most missions would be cheaper.

I hope syrian air force will be rebuilt and even improved.

what is the current status? What planes (for cheap) should syrian AF receive from russia? I feel that SU-17 and MiG-27 (which they have already in forms of SU-22 and Mig-23 strike variant) should be given in mass.

It's true that SYAF got 6 mig-31? i feel it's bullshit, also, what could they do with it?? this type of interceptor has no use in such a small country, and it's along way before syrian tactics and pilots can possibly use the mig-31 to its real potential


Poland keeps a big number of SU-22M4 in service, it must be a decent enough plane. I mean, it's a great plane, poland seems satisfied with it (though one wonders what they could possibly do with it against their fantasy of russian invasion)


So we are at what, about 800 total air sorties for the russians so far? And not a single malfunction, loss, or accident? pretty decent! Only with some 30 aircrafts!

In the course of the last 24 hours, aircraft of the Russian air group have continued making pinpoint strikes against terrorist infrastructural facilities in the Syrian Arab Republic.

For the last 24 hours, the Russian Su-34, Su-24M, Su-25SM aircraft performed 53 combat sorties engaging 72 terrorist facilities in the ‪#‎Hama‬, ‪#‎Idlib‬, ‪#‎Lattakia‬, ‪#‎Damascus‬, ‪#‎Aleppo‬ and Deir ez-Zor provinces.
The effectiveness of engagement of the terrorist infrastructures by the Russian aircraft has considerably increased. Earlier the Russian aircraft worked mainly in pairs, but now due to good knowledge of the combat area the aircraft eliminate two or more targets individually in the course of one sortie.

Commenting on the claims of the Pentagon representative Colonel Steven Warren concerning the assessment of the activities of the Russian aviation in the Syrian Arab Republic, it should be mentioned that the Russian unmanned aerial vehicles detect considerable increase in the number of targets of the ISIS terrorist grouping.

ISIS leaders are projecting manpower reinforcements to combat areas from Raqqah and Iraq territories. They are also taking efforts to direct maneuvering automobile caravans with weapons and ammunition to the contact line with the Syrian Armed Forces.

Therefore, explanations of the Pentagon representatives concerning sharp flight decrease caused by “no target detection” in Syria are more than just strange.
Airy dreams of Colonel Steven Warren concerning using cluster munitions by the Russian aviation in “inhabited areas” of Syria are absurd.
It appears that the American colleagues have not established their aims in the announced war against the ISIS terrorist organization.
This may be why the terrorists feel comfortable a year after the start of the anti-ISIS coalition’s operations.
