Damn, there were 500 views already. From the official mod channel. In short UAV followed two trucks with apcs on the trailers and one car as they moved from the woods to the mosque.

French site Strategika51 publishes news that near the Russian port of Tartus in Syria is the only Chinese submarines armed with nuclear weapons.

Class submarine Jin (Type 094) with 12 ballistic missiles (SLMB) JL-2 on the board, capable of hitting targets at a distance of 8000 kilometers, is located near the port of Tartus, off the coast of Syria.

Same thing as with that 'Chinese carrier is of Tartus'-bullshit. Simply not true. You don't pass the Suez canal submerged, and if you're doing it on the surface, the whole world would know.

Sure, they could have sailed around the cape (or under the Noth Pole... ) and entered the Mediterranean through the Pillars - but even if Royal Navy ASW skills have become a bit rusty, I really don't see them passing Gibraltar unnoticed.

Or perhaps they dismantled it, send it via rail to the Black Sea, reassembled it and passed through the Dardanelles unnoticed Afterall, such feats were already accomplished 100 years ago! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Type_UB_I_submarine

The French are also surprised at how noisy this submarine was not discovered earlier.

A source told the author of the text, that the Chinese Air Force may participate in air strikes on the positions of the terrorists as soon arrive to the shores of Syria Chinese aircraft carrier (this information seems extremely doubtful, approx.'s).

Recall that now in the Mediterranean Sea are the teachings of the Chinese Navy, of course, in no way associated with the Syrian crisis

Hope the Chinese enter the theater as soon as possible with their Su-30, J-10, A-50, couple of Type-054A and as much needed the Type-071. Large military transports are being badly missed and I would like the Chinese to put those three 071 in the Mediterranean and help Russia bring supplies.

Need of the hour, in addition to air-strike in support of Syrian military, is to strengthen the Russian arsenal and fortify Syria from any sort of external intervention from any number of quarters.

Arrival of Pr.1164 is a good news and if what I feel (and always wanted to see and prayed) is correct, the AD bubble provided by S-300 on 1164 would be the toehold to expand/complete the AD network with land based S-300/400 and Buk-M2 in a peaceful environment. The lack of powerful and complete AD systems saw the Isreali's earlier strike Syria's land based anti-ship complexes. In parallel to the AD systems, there is the need to have a potent anti-ship complexes on the coast, which will to an extent (or maybe even almost) fill in for the lack of Russian naval combatants.

Interesting, thank you. So anyone wants to guess what kind of tactic the VKS will use against them as soon they move most of their assets into civilian areas? The Russians will probably be less tempted to strike near the civilian population in order to avoid a media shitstorm. I'm betting this is when the Syrian/Iranian offensive is going to happen. They will retake all the territory that's been cleared from ISIS assets, cut them off and surround them in the cities.

EDIT: Video is back up btw.

The best Chinese combination there would be a squadron of J-10 fighters and a squadron of JH-7A fighter-bombers.
They could as well send some heavy armed UAVs for constant monitoring and bombing.

Any chance of some mig 31BM flying over the skies of siria ?
I believe that four or more of these fighters would expand greatly the "bubble" of protection around the latakia .

Probably zoomed in or cropped, those planes fly pretty high up...
