Which goes on to my next point there was a mention of someone saying that the SAA should deploy tiger forces to Al Bab, although this would be nice seeing as Manjbi is under pressure from the Kurds, ISIS may focus forces on this area leaving Al Bab short on troops, but on the other hand ISIS hasn't attempted to advance in this area and rather starting another aggressive front, it wwould be better for SAA to keep tiger forces where they are considering the rebels advances in southern Aleppo as they might be needed to halt rebel progress.
It really has been a tough time for the SAA etc, due to the increase in aggressive fronts. The SAA were all set for two major assaults, Aleppo and advance to Deir ez zoir. But with battles raging around northern Palmyra, Northern Hama, southern Hama, northern Latakia, has caused set backs. And then on top of this major bomb blasts in Tartus and Latakia. It really has been tough but this is also a sign that the rebels are starting to get desperate. I just hope the Southern Aleppo front can hold, as well as Deir ez Zoir. The rebels know that if ISIS is eradicated from Raqqa and Deir ez Zoir, then this frees up a front as well as troops for the SAA which can then be re-rooted towards Aleppo.
I do not get why the Russian Military don't use private military companies more like the west does, have a Russian private military recruit retired Russian and Iranian Soldiers, Special Forces Soldiers looking for work and train them(they don't need a whole lot of training), give them all the necessary equipment and weapons and sent them to Syria, it will help and make things somewhat easier.
