Despite some initial success , Last week offensives of the NATO backed Jihadist have been
in the end not very good in general ,According to the the Russian General Staff.
If the numbers he give are correct. This looks like they throwing everything they have
and full desperation mode. Don't think they have tanks in the hundreds. but with Turkey
support anything is possible.
"All of militants' attacks were repelled. As a result, the terrorists suffered significant losses, including 21 battle tanks, 10 infantry fighting vehicles, six rocket artillery systems, 14 mortar crews, 80 cars with mounted heavy machineguns, as well as 12 car bombs driven by suicide terrorists", Rudskoi said.
Look how many suicide bombers , in theory they should be no reason for them to not have
100 suicide bombers in one offensive. Idiots ready to die ,should be very easy to find in middle east for the right number of virgins Goats promise to jihadist in the after life.

In case people don't notice it looks like Russia is effectively Grinding terrorist in eastern Aleppo
with their so called "Cease of fire". They luring terrorist to come out of their safe place to fight in the open.
This is an strategy that can work ,military and politically. Because Russia can claim they are not bombing eastern aleppo under siege ,and just defending themselves from hordes that attacks them violating the cease of fire. the negative side of this is many more civilian casualties happens. Reason why they being evacuated from all alleppo.
IF Russia choose to enter East aleppo and bomb there it risk being framed by NATO ,the malasyan plane way ,with false flags for genocide of 250,000 civilians hostages there. terrorist can kill them using soviet weapons and even plant parts of Russian missiles used in Syria as
"evidence" and later Russia blamed for it.
