Keep up mate. This is the wrong thread for this.

The answer is yes and much about it yesterday from post 802 in the correct thread https://www.russiadefence.net/t7040p800-russian-military-involvement-and-aid-to-syria-12

Does anyone know if Syria are still using their mig-25? And if so in what role? Interceptor /recce/ bombing???

It is believed that one or two are still flying as interceptors.

I don't think so. As far as I know there are no active or flyable MİG-25's in the world. Pre-Civil War Libya was one of the last active user of MİG-25's.


but Maybe they can still work after some overhaul or restoration. Who knows?

Aparently a MiG-25 took off during the recent incident with the Israeli F-16, reportedly because the airbase was under attack

Your little republic dream....well that has me lmao, nice one buddy.

We’ll just have to wait and see how it turns out...but my money is on the Yankees getting what they want with the Russians playing second fiddle.

and what do Yanks want? this changed over time: first all Syria, then overthrow Assad now only little part with Kurds?

BTW same media outlets in Ukraine that 4 years talks about imminent  "Russian aggression" just about to start? Or media reporting about Saddam's nukes?

GS, pm me as i do not want to resurrect old posts etc. i'm no troll mate, end of. the yanks end game is clear, a flawed one but a unfortunately a powerful one...

i want to see syria as is before this mayhem...

Has anyone any pics videos or info on the following being used by the SAA.
240mm tulpan mortar,
240 mm Mortar M240
160mm mortar,
S-23 180 mm
2A36 Giatsint-B 152mm
85mm D-44
76mm zis-3
T-34 mounted with D-30
100mm BS3
100mm T-12
85mm D-48
57mm zis-2
B-11 107mm
B-10 82mm
2B9 Vasilek 82mm mortar
Zsu-57-2

One system I thought might have been deployed by Russia was the 2s7 pion ideal for Syria could use laser or gps guided munitions

From Twitter so probably rubbish regardless of its source.

And will anyone be allowed to leave the area? They won't want to lose their human shield.

Strange this wasn't called for at the UN for Raqqa or Mosul.

It's only strange if you allow yourself to forget for a moment that they're unabashed hypocrites always pursuing their agenda, otherwise it makes perfect sense.

I would guess that the Russians & Syrians recognize that the West is again revving up its giant MSM BS machine in order to aid its terrorist proxies, and figure that the effect of that may be better attenuated if they play along to a degree with this security council agreement. But, at the same time, the Russians stated up front at the UN that they will not cease their military campaign against those proxies. I'm of the "if it's to be done let it be done quickly" school, but I'm also not an insider seeing all the angles. Perhaps the approach they're taking makes a lot of sense. I also keep in mind all this happened before, in regard to Aleppo, but in the end the West's propaganda drive changed nothing; Aleppo was liberated.

Not funny at all, they just called it collateral damage and kept going. The normal 'one rule for us and another for everyone else' attitude of the US.

But it looks like the Syrian military will just keep on at it too

I think he means Tal Rifat some Iranians did enter the city, Manbij tho....no way the kurds will hand that over without being killed first

According to Turkey they are. The US says they aren't doing anything West of the Euphrates.

Latest Syrian mega barrel bomb with human guidance being launched. A Very Big Aerial Explosive Device.



That had you for a moment

Its the UK Parachute Regiment practicing a tandem launch, cargo plus man joined together.

Found this map, don't know the author but it seems to give a pretty good indication of the main areas of activity by the SAA. Sorry its Twitter but neither the Syrian or Russian Governments are issuing maps atm.

Daily map from the north, Turks starting to make better progress. They now have a margin along almost the whole border.

Turkish jets bombarding Shaykh al Hadid at the moment. It is the district where the only gap of the "margin" is located.

This week, some sources claim that Shaykh al Hadid and surrounding hills will be captured in the west, and more advance through Afrin will be made from North.

Americans are silent for some time, I wonder what they really have in their mind...
