Russian military intervention and aid to Syria #9

Not from Syria... but an Indian AF Su-30MKI showering 26 x FAB-250 during fire power demo.


This is the kinds of stuff we need to see on terrorist areas in Idlib, Aleppo etc. MiG-29K, M (and SMTs) might be able to carry 20 of these along with their A-A armaments and hope those 29Ks thats arriving to Syrian theatre in July-Aug have its account opening with few such stuffs.

Allegedly AhraralSham shot down russian operated (?) drone over Latakia. Most likely with HMG.

Governor of Daraa and the citizens of Tubnah, Daraa Countryside thanked Russia for its aid and support (01/06/2016)

Apparently Russian MOD released UAV video showing truck columns that might have been used to deliver weapons, ammunition and other supplies into Idlib and Aleppo regions.

^^^ Those are massive supplies and Tu-160 and Tu-22M3 visit will be needed. Hope VKS deliver us those good news soon!

No "desant" in Syria...clearly the guys don't trust the local detail. It's better that way anyway.

US asks Russia to not hit Nusra Front in Syria, Moscow says

Obama is once again asking ‪#‎Russia‬ not to target ‪#‎AlQaeda‬ in ‪#‎Syria‬ because he can't/won't separates his "moderate" proxies from them.

Tu-95 over Idlib , Syria, certainly Tu-142 in title is a mistake?

It is Tu-142 after all, note magnetic detector on top of tail fin.

Ye it is Tu-142, probably going from Med towards Russia.

About Turkey, I would expect Russia to take the side of the Kurds for the long term. It is in the interest of Russia, not only in Turkey and Syria, also in Irak, Georgia and Azerbaijan.

Am I the only one who has a feeling that things are getting little weird over there? I mean Tu-142 flying over Syria? Something strange is cooking...

Told you that Syrians will have real Politeness delivered to them.

That would be tragic mistake. Russia is not naturally drawn into "nation building", quite the contrary. Kurds are problem in Irak, Iran and Syria. They will be a bigger issue in Turkey. Turkey going down into fully blown civil war is Armenian genocide level bullshit waiting to happen on both sides.

So frankly, Nope.

Plane down in Khalsah, in Southern Aleppo.

Claimed Russian.

Jaish al-Sunnah claims it was Russian Su-24 and that they shot it down with MANPADS.

If this is true, it will justify further action against those terrorist goat fuc*ers.

The question is clear. If Turkey and the NATO have easy and clear control of the Kurdish territory, they have easier to work in Georgia, Syria and Irak. Even in Azerbaijan. Russia is not interested on it. This is the way to cut the expansive Turkish apetite. I have little doubt about this happening.
