Russian military intervention and aid to Syria #9

Resistance wrote:Volunteers? BS. These are US special forces embedded with rebels. They think they can march on Damascus betting on Assad don't dare bomb Americans and start a war with the US. Well, guess what, they will be bombed and there's nothing Hillary can do about that

In fact Russia is interested in a weak Turkey.

The family of the murdered Russian pilot did not get the impression that Turkey was serious about any thaw.

there are counter battery of Russia in Syria.. Someone posted a picture of it.
The only missing things in Syria is Russia to provide the Syrian army with T-72
tanks with upgraded targeting control ,and night vision so they can properly deal with
waves of suicide bombers.  The Syrian army is not well prepared to fight that. Why
regular army needs to retreat whenever the terrorist start a major scale assault.

This evening, a Russian warship in the Mediterranean launched a long-range cruise missile which landed on the rebel-held town of Al-Qassimyah in the western Aleppo countryside. According to an Al-Masdar source embedded with the Tiger Forces in northern Aleppo, the coordinates for the target were a large storage building holding U.S. supplied TOW anti-tank missiles. The Russian military relies heavily on the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) Tiger Forces to carry out long-range missile attacks and airstrikes – in fact, Major General Suheil al-Hassan himself was said to have instructed tonight’s pinpoint attack, according to the military source. Meanwhile, the SAA’s Tiger Forces are preparing a ground offensive to capture the southern part of the Al-Mallah farms which are still held by Islamist insurgents, despite some reports to the contrary.

Syrian army does not need anything more than what they have, they are oversupplied as it is.

They need to start shooting at the enemy instead of running away at first hint of danger.

Resistance wrote:Erdogan's apology about the pilot is not sincere. Think about it. For almost a year after the shoot down, Erdogan said, Turkey will never apologize. Now all of a sudden Erdogan apologizes when Aleppo is about to be retaken. This is no coincidence. Erdogan is trying to save the terrorists by making Putin make Assad stop the offensive. If Assad stops the offensive, then SAA will defect to terrorists and Damascus will be taken by terrorists. No soldier would fight for a side that is ordered to only retreat and is ordered to not return fire when fired upon. If terrorists get close to the Russian base in Latakia, Russia will have 2 choices. Either leave Syria or fight a bloody ground war.

Erdogan is a Daesh sponsoring fraud indeed:

Turdkey is basically jerking Russia around.   I think Putin was way too generous in the easing of the sanctions on Turdkey
in response to the Turdkish "apology".

Earlier on Monday, news agencies cited Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu as telling national TV channel TRT that Ankara would cooperate with “everybody who is fighting Islamic State [IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL].”

“Ankara has opened the Incirlik airbase to all those wishing to join the active fight. Why not cooperate with Russia in the same manner?” Cavusoglu said.

Several hours later Cavusoglu denied mentioning Russia’s possible presence at Incirlik.

“I did not make such a comment. We said that we could cooperate with everyone in the fight against ISIS," Reuters quoted Cavusoglu as saying in comments broadcast live on television.

“We said that we could cooperate with Russia in the period ahead in the fight against Daesh [Islamic State]. I did not make any comment referring to Russian planes coming to the Incirlik airbase,” Cavusoglu said, as cited by Reuters.

It's been 24 hours, is there any real confirmation of this or was it just another product of Al-Masdar daily creative writing contest?
