Thanks.
Don't know how to embed this bit the first video at the link shows a cluster attack. Is that MLRS rather than bombs? The second shows a nice technical puff.

Terrorists claim to have captured a large part of Ramouseh neighborhood. Looks like Ramouseh neighborhood will have to be bombed to dust.

Terrorists captured Ramouseh district. Western Aleppo is under siege. It was lack of hardware like Shahed 129 planes and Kornet missiles that caused this to happen.

1. Not confirmed yet.
2. If confirmed, fire control still remains over the area and a counter-attack should follow.
Guys, this is the most important battle of the war, both sides will fight tooth and nail to achieve their goals. No shortcuts, no deals, just pure and simple carnage.

Terrorists seem to have captured quite a bit of armor and equipment as they overran SAA positions.

Looks like the entire city of Aleppo will have to be bombed to dust as terrorists pour into all districts.

Only one side does this.
Incompetence of SAA is legendary. Jihadists seem to have been exceptionally successful today since all usual SAA online cheerleaders have suddenly gone dark.
Selfie army strikes again.

The situation is fluid and there are no decisive victories. The good thing is that the siege-breaking is a good meat grinder for the
jihadi slime. My impression of the SAA performance is that it is much better than some incompetent "selfie army". It is better than
the terrorists who are really engaged in a type of human wave attack pattern.

This twitter channel whether it is biased or not has a good set of fragments that indicate that there has not been any breakthrough.
BTW, the Russian bombing is actually effective. The "rebels" actually claim it is the US and its NATO pals that are making all the
precise strikes.

These maps are more credible than the "rebel" crap shown before. It is street by street, house by house fighting and not some sweep over
empty plains.

The situation is critical. If jihadists pour into Aleppo city, the battle will be lost as the entire city would have to be leveled by a nuke.

Oh Lord, SAA is probably the only force in the region capable to be defeated and surrounded in Aleppo in record time. 
They are continuously baited and trashed within days, while their operations take weeks/months/years to achieve minimal results or pure defeats.
Had it not been for Russia, Assad-SAA & friends would be done for by now.

If Russia does not stop jihadists from overruning Syria, then Russia would be overrun by jihadists.

THe Russian Airforce and military performance in Syria and their tactics and their leadership decisions ,even though they have managed to halt the advance of terrorist since Russia came
to Syria. It shows something really bad for the security of Russia. Putin , seems to not be aware that the bad performance of Russia in Syria against poorly armed terrorist with good tactics, not only shows Russia still today is not fully prepared ,trained, to fight blitzkrieg like tactics terrorist are using of assaulting zones with Suicide bomber speed attacks. It also shows Russia weakness and it pose a major security threat for Russia too.
If i was a NATO general , seeking to destroy Russia , the fights in Aleppo of nusra its tactics
,i will consider it very seriously to over Run a city like Kaliningrad in case of a world war. And once the terrorist force their entry in civilians zones , the Russian airforce will be totally useless , and same with russian nukes if terrorist covers behind Russian civilians as human shields.. The failure of Russia Airforce to protect the Syrian army MOST IMPORTANT positions for long , will only encourage Russian enemies to develop similar speed assault tactics to take control of a city of Kaliningrad.
My observation is Russia military doctrine have focused too much , in fighting at distance
and almost totally ignored very close fights with very speedy assaults armed with endless waves of suicide trucks. This is not really the correct approach ,because Russian enemies are not at distance , but very close. whatever happens in Aleppo , im officially dissapointed with Russia military. Such things should have never been allowed to happen. NEVER.
Russia weakness in Syria will only encourage NATO and gulf states to continue sending more hundreds of thousands of terrorist to fight them. To end the war in Syria is absolutely necessary
that NATO see no chance for them to ever to win. but this Aleppo disaster is not going to promote exactly that.
The only consolation in all this , is that Alqaeda is losing fighters at very fast rate. But this will
be totally irrelevant in the end , since there is a Ton of millions more muslins in middle east that can be trained by NATO and replace the ones that falls. until all Syria is over Run.
Putin mediocre leadership that cannot convince CHINA ,nor INDIA to help in Syria ,with at least drones ,or convince anyone in the world to follow Russia and join their coalition to help them ,combined with the poor tactics of Russia military in Syria will only encourage more Russian enemies to fight Russia. Russians strengh was never good countering fast assaults attacks in the past..their enemies quickly could get Russian territory ,and it doesn't look that things have changed a lot today. If i was leading the Russian operations in Syria , i will have never relied so much on Russia airforce to do the job. and i will have properly armed Syrian army to counter speed assaults.
China could have helped enormously in Syria ,with providing drones and operating them.
For Russia to have a 24 hours view of major fighting zones, India the same. without risking the life of a single soldier. But Putin "the Genius", have failed to influence any country to help
them.

OK, new video showing clashes in the 1070. Under "Clashes in 1070 Apartments Project. Also not under full opp.control"
https://twitter.com/miladvisor/status/761966738896543744
If you go to the end of the clip, 1:56 onwards you can see the SAA engaging a JF held structure with what is likely a 30mm gun on a BMP-2. I managed to geolocate this structure using the electric substation in the background. Approximate location of camera in yellow, target structure in red. From this video it appears that the SAA hold most of the 1070, having pushed JF to the westernmost edge.

There are still clashes going.. and Syrian army fighting back..but the whole thing sucks
Big time. Terrorist can take zones very fast sometimes over run places in just a couple of hours, while the Syrian army takes weeks or months to achieve the same results. Tactics Russia and Syria are using do not work well. Proper tactics will not allow terrorist to even get close to shelling Syrian army positions or over run anything.
I could see in the future NATO hiring Nusra terrorist ,suicide bombers in humvees with a ton of tnt ,to integrate in their assault lines . That is to use terrorist as living cruise missiles ,Because Russia military doctrine is not efficient stopping speed assaults. They are too dependent on regular fixed artillery fights and airforce for land combat.

Only thing I agree on is the training factor here.
That said if another nation doesn't want do do anything nothing Putin can do, you act like he has some ability to force people to do what he wants.
Doesn't matter how smart you are, in the end if china or India don't want to do nothing you can do to convince or make them period.
