EDIT: Found this Aldin Abazović ‏@Ald_Aba 22h22 hours ago Latest #JN video from #Aleppo shows them heading toward Nubbol-Zahraa pocket,

Some comments say trhis is from 2013... this would explain why they´re not so shy.

The Toyotas were also shiny new and white. The takfiris have learned the hard way to plaster them with mud to make them stand out less.

Why is this allowed to happen ?

Because when they are eventually surrounded by SAA and Kurds they increasingly piss off and politely asked to leave they will have to leave...simple.

At this point in time it is simply not worth the hassle.

That airport isn't for Kurdish airforce. You will have to get Americans out of there.
Once they are in they will not leave.

there is a time for everything..
Still erdogan convoys enter in Syria with weapons and munitions undercovertly , Russia airforce cannot focus in just monitoring the border . When Syrian army liberate more and more Cities ,sooner or later they will reach 100% of Syria territory and none American bases in Syria will be tolerated. they will have to go if the base become useless.. ie.. That Syrian Army defeat ISIS+controls most of the territory and that Syrian army deploy air defenses right next to the military base and artillery aiming at the American base. So they will be pushed out of Syria by gaining territory. The Americans and Turks will be kicked.. but priority now will be to secure the major cities. I don't think Americans have a chance to continue flying over Syria over any excuse ,once Syrian army liberate 95% of norther Syria. Is like a Game that Russia /Syria is forced to play and it will work in favor of Syria and Russia as long they continue liberating territory. I dont think again that Americans ,neither Turkey have a chance to invade Syria directly and create any denial zone for Syrian army or Russia with them ruling the skies.

The only hope Americans have is to get the kurds in Syria declare war against Assad , while
at the same time being at war with Turkey and with Americans not fully supporting them. So kurds will align which ever faction is stronger in Syria.

TOS-1 in action, said to be in Syria...but the rocket count is confusing. I count 26 rockets in the first part of the video the second being the repeat



So which one is it? The 24 barrel or the earlier 30 barrel one? And it it really in Syria?

SAA is going to expand the safe corridor around Kuweries airbase and looks like the Powerplant will be in hands by next week and then the production facility?
Probably after these areas are liberated, we might see the combat aircrafts operating from Kuweries airbase in support of SAA push towards Al Bab to the north and Deir Hafar to the east?

I feel we might also see the arrival (other things aside, if the production/delivery part from Russian side is ok) of Yak-130 in the next 6 months once the airbase is safe and re-opened for training. Kuweries airbase is the primary airbase for pilot training and it was probably one among many other reasons why Yak-130 was not delivered.

That would be good for Syrian air force to get their new Yak-130 trainers, specially if they will not be only trainers, but light combat planes. Equipped with Wasp radar, data link, RWRs, chaff and flares dispensers and jammer pods would be far more capable than other jets in Syrian AF. Yak-130 could also work as command plane of the group, when instructor in the back seat work as WSO. A squadron of Yaks in Kuweires could support both Syrian army and Kurds fighting with ISIS.

But to safely install a combat squadron there, they should also liberate the coast of the lake in the south and a wider perimeter in the east of air base to prevent any attacks on it.

The Yak-130 is in a section of the world military aircraft that is expanding quickly. Time for a display of its capabilities!

A hostage to fortune comment from Warren at CENTCOM. May live to regret it.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Earlier, US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter expressed hope that the terrorist group would be pushed out of its de facto capital in 2016.

"It is certainly feasible that Raqqa can be pressured or even assaulted in the next year, it's also feasible that it will take more than one year," Warren said when asked how long it would likely take US coalition forces to push Daesh out of Raqqa. Warren explained that the coalition was currently trying to isolate and degrade Daesh in Raqqa by launching precision attacks against its high value targets and cutting off their supply routes and lines of communication.

The spokesperson noted that freeing Raqqa would also depend on how quickly coalition forces would develop partner forces in Syria, specifically moderate members of the Syrian opposition, admitting that the coalition does not have the same relationships in Syria as they do in Iraq.

I am willing to bet large amount of money, that the SAA Tiger Force are trained by the Russian Special Forces(I have spent some time looking at videos and reading about the SAA Tiger Forces, they are very deadly, very well trained and very well armed, they are patient and they plan a lot, they have better equipment), none of these things happened before the Russian intervention.

Loved seeing that video, especially from 1:08 to 1:35, loved seeing the dead Wahhabis.

If they can get to Jeb Ghabishah from the East and to Fah from the West, then I think a lot of rats will be trapped.
