That's what they need to do.
It's not normal to march to east, while Damascus is surrounded by hordes of terrorists.
Advancing towards Raqqa makes good sense if the objective is to keep ISIS forces fighting on 3 main fronts, rather than allow them to fight on two, Dier or Manbij. Especially given the SDF stopped threatening Raqqa and moved on Manbij.KiloGolf wrote:
Fair enough, but Russia can't claim now that SAA (however monstrously incompetent) having no decent air support when they need it, is purely their fault. Russians and Syrians disagreed on the Tabqa op. It's a big mess, that what it is. One big player needs to step up, Iran or Russia.
PS. I thought the Tabqa/Raqqa op was strange when they could have advanced to Deir Hafir and consolidate in Latakia much faster.

If need by, enlarge the Russian contingent, if only to provide base proximity security. And start racking up the sortie numbers, because there are far too many targets apparently in Syria right now. This half-hearted attempts make Russian intervention seem weak and ineffective. How would regular Russian Army deal with such situations? Aleppo? The desert front? At one point the pain must be dealt to obvious supply lines coming from neighbouring countries.

there is one reason to march east and that is to link up with the troops in deir ez zoir, these poor gus have been doing a brilliant job in keeping ISIS from taking the area. These guys really need a break now. If ISIS collapses in Northern Aleppo they will flee south towards deir haifr and either put pressure on SAA there or flee further south and onto Deir ez zoir which with an extra 1,000 or so ISIS the SAA might not hold out as well.
SturmGuard wrote:Which member has left the forum? Is it definite?
Guys, conspiracy theories aside, there is the question of battlefield reconnaisance and information, attack coordination by ISIS. I mean, we are supposed to believe that same Abu Hajar idiots that throw themselves in pointless frontal attacks against dug-in Kurds, while using improvised battlewagons managed to execute both day and night assaults and continue to press their advance?

They didn't. Syria has a larger airforce in their own country than what Russia currently has stationed in Syria. Add to that, RuAF has been concentrating on bombings in Palmyra and Northern Aleppo, so the Raqqa movement and southern Aleppo has to also get support from other airforces. I myself would be quite happy just to have Moscow send more aircrafts (and eventually they probably will when they see SAA losing this badly again) but in time being, they cannot be everywhere at once. For all intense and purposes, RuAF has done far more in a very short period of time than US did in over a year.
I repeat - SyAF needs to be more involved. I haven't heard much from them in quite some time.
What loss of Ka-52's? You are trolling pretty hard there Kilo

Well I can't really blame Russians for not wanting to deliver aircrafts to Syrians.
They want to export those things. How can they expect to sell any if everyone sees their burnt wrecks all over the news just because they were flown by bunch of incompetent morons?
Interesting screen grab from that vid:KiloGolf wrote:

Maybe it's old footage?
Look at 0:10, that's not Zakia or surrounding areas.
