It is a mistake on Russia's part to let Nusra breed in Idlib province. Nusra breeds about 50,000 new warriors per year in Idlib province. They would become the biggest national security threat to Russia.

Every Nusra fell on the battlefield is replaced by 10 more. Time to bulldoze Idlib province.

Carry on, nothing to see here, people.

But if the SAA etc manage to pull this off, and liberate Aleppo city and surrounding countryside this could spell the death of FSA etc.

Even if 1 million of jihadist show up , Russia have all the tools to handle it.
how many terrorist you think a bomb like this can kill ?  



here the potential damage of just one nuke of 5 megaton. about 15km radius kill of every
living thing.



from 10km to 13km of a nuclear bomb of 5megaton. it will collapse concrete and break every bone. is a fatal kill. from 15km to 17km ,third degree burns with 100% probability ,arms or legs will need to be amputated if people not killed instantly and blind too.

10 bombs of those will be 150km radius. This will be enough to cover all northen Syria
,including Latakia ,IDlib ,Aleppo and Raqqa. how many soldiers you place in 150km area?
I bet like 10 millions soldiers will fit nicely there.  enough to stop a full scale NATo + Jihadist invasion.  

Just relax a little ,dude. We cannot know for sure what is Russia trying to do. It is possible that Russia is allowing terrorist to move away from their safe bunkers and force them to fight in the open in positions that it will be hard for them to defend and even hold in the place. For sure whatever it is. it will be better if Russia manage to concentrate all the terrorist in one single place and then drops many dozens of 1 ton weight termobaric high super tnt bombs from Tu-160 planes.  and wipe totally a city the terrorist are grouped. Then all them wiped fast. But if you start fighting terrorist when they are very dispersed ,then you will not get many and they will retreat and go back behind civilians for cover.

Russia have the Air superiority and those NATO manpads are not going to do anything to Russian planes. Learn something about Ukraine war ,how the Pro Donetsk fighters encircle 8,000 pro kiev soldiers and wiped/wounded most of them. The only thing that could threaten seriously RUssia is Turkey/israeli airforce invading Syria to bomb Syrian forces or even attack them ,but also backed by a many hundreds of modern tanks ,but that will be an open war. and it will not end well for those planes with S-400s in Syria. and kornets EM will wipe any NATO tank.

About 50,000 warrior per year.. the more the better , Russia can farm them. Better to kill
them in Syria and not in Russia. Because if NATO can get such high numbers of terrorist for Syria ,nothing stop them ,to do that in another place and lets say attack Kaliningrad or Kazakistan next to Russian borders.

Aside that all those 50,000 jihadist needs food ,munitions and weapons ,it cost a lot of money ,
Russia will be playing a war of attrition on Turkey ,Saudi and US that needs to finance their
terror squads. just like they doing in Ukraine. in short Russia have all the tools to defeat the
terrorist in just one day . even if their numbers were in the 1 million. so relax a little .the chaos in Syria ,until now Russia can handle it.  Russia however cannot show every weapon they have so later NATO can spy on it.  Russia specially can wipe out very easily the terrorist using chemical weapons too. Weapons that blinds terrorist or that put to sleep an entire city like Idlib with Gas. No one in tunnels will be safe from such kind of warfare. So regardless of the numbers ,the terrorist are not prepared to fight Russia if Russia really wants to hold a place. So weather is nukes or chemical weapons , or other crazy weapons Russia have everything to defeat them .As long their miltary base is not under threat and invaded Russia can continue in the offensive.
the victory in Syria however have to be done on a political level too and not just military.
Russia also cannot use all their technology and weapons in Syria unless is really needed ,So that later NATO cannot learn all the tools Russia have and later be prepared to better fight Russia.

heck if Russia use nukes ,with just a dozen of free fall nukes of 1 megaton each,in less than 24 hours Syria recover 100% of its territory , Idlib fall ,Aleppo ,Raka, all. But the military victory alone is not enough , political and diplomatic too matters and public opinion. If i was Putin, i will try to get 100% of all the terrorist ,and not allow a single chechen to return to Syria . So allowing Turkey to send reinforcements to Idlib and Aleppo can be used to Russia advantage if
they all wiped ,all other fronts will collapse for not having any one else to fight. They are many muslins extremist in the world to recruit but they will get tired of dying for nothing. If they notice they stand not a chance to win with Russia there. it will be even a bigger victory. because will dissuade any terrorist in the future to try to invade Russia ,knowing they have no chance to win.

I don't know whether it is an accident, or this helicopter was downed by terrorists. If so by what ? SAM ? AAA ? If you have more informations please post.

You are not only posting old news, but also the wrong thread. Please look at Russian in Syria thread for more info. As well, state department gave the answer long before your post - it crashed not due to arms fire.
