Looking on this map, I could see, that between Al Thawrah in the south of lake Assad on Euphrates river and the dam on the north of the Lake Assad, which is in the hands of Kurds, there is no bridge to cross the lake. All, what Syrian army now have to do is to reach lake Assad anywhere between those two points and cut the road, which lead to the Turkish border and they will cut ISIL down from Lake Assad down to Iraq from supplies from Turkey as well as selling oil to Turkey. Cutting their supplies from Turkey, ISIL will be quickly overstretched in many fronts in Syria and in Iraq and would be quite quickly destroyed.

This is quite interesting as I have always been convinced that the Russians definitely have for long deployed general-purpose infantry guided missiles (GPIGM) for general-purpose roles on the battlefield.

These missiles would

1- be lighter than the lightest ATGMs,
2- have a smaller multipurpose warhead,
3- have a range at least slightly better than sniper rifles, and
4- be relatively fast.

Orr what about something like this. USN Spike, basically can be integrated in any platform you wish.

"Spike" doesn't meet the 3rd and the 4th requirements. Especially, its "real", "potential" performance figures, as opposed to the "published" figures, will fall substantially short of the 3rd and the 4th requirements. Its "potential" speed would be well below Mach 0.5 and its "potential" range below 500 m.

The missiles I was referring to would have a real range of around 2 km and would be supersonic, possibly close to Mach 2.

Well according to declassified files its supposed to have range of around 2 miles. Warhead truly is light but thats what we want here, right. And when its about speed... 240ish m/s, its not that bad, Kornet-M has speed abit under 300m/s.

BEIRUT, 22 Dec – RIA Novosti, Mikhail Alaeddin. The militants of the terrorist group "Islamic state" (banned in Russia) cut off the lifeline of the city of Aleppo on segment Asia-Hanser, reported RIA Novosti military source.
"The night fighters attacked the checkpoints of the Syrian army in the town of Khanasser. Fierce battles with terrorists are still ongoing. Under enemy fire about 10 miles of the road leading to Aleppo. The traffic is blocked", — said the Agency interlocutor.
According to a source, the attack was from several sides. The main strike force of terrorists attacked from the North side of town Hanser. Bypass road is the only way to supply the Syrian troops in Aleppo, as well as the "road of life" on which the city of Aleppo supplied with food, fuel and other necessary things.
Cutting off Aleppo supply route, the terrorists expect to slow the pace of large-scale offensive the Syrian army in Northern Aleppo province and on the West by the province of raqqa.
