Zaman Al wasl reports substantial Russian reinforcements to Syria in 2019, including more than 30 more fixed-wing and rotary aircraft at Humaymim and Stamo and a lot of new cargo

They're getting ready to plaster the Idlib rebels?

We have a convoy! Lots of goodies inside. Those ships have done an amazing job of work.

After deadly Syrian battle, evidence of Russian losses was obscured

Hope you realize Reuters is  a  British propaganda outlet.. and they and many other anglo
media have always been over dramatically reporting in the worse light possible for Russia.. they right there in that report ,they are questioning the success of Russia military campaign ..because of the "many Russian casualties" and as always , outlets like that and CNN  ALWAYS.. claims "anomymous sources" told them hundreds of Russian soldiers killed here or there.

Reality is that such information is IMPOSIBLE to know ,unless someone is there with media counting
and they happen to know if he is Russian citizen or not.. but Reuters a british spy media , who works like BBC for the UK government , they will never be allowed anywhere near any battlefield.. and neither every Russian soldier will talk to a foreign media about casualties.. is always laughable how can people be so naive and thinks , that Russian army and Russian special forces , are all traitors ,and they all cant wait to talk with pro NATO media about their casualties on any incident.  IT did not happen ,that simple..  

And in the event mentioned that Russia supposedly lost 300 soldiers private military soldiers and special forces. over a period of 2 hours ,by American airforce.. such a thing will be IMPOSSIBLE..
Since Russia airforce will not abandon their military ,whether is regular army or private contractors
to their fate and turn to the other side..

Things to consider.. is that when Russia do a bombing campaign on ISIS.. that they have air superiority and can freely bomb any place they want.. usually Russia reports that the casualties of ISIS are in the 7-10 terrorist..   This is because even terrorist understand to concentrate their forces in just one place..is very dangerous..   so to think ISIS can protect better than Russian army and Russian special forces and will be so foolish to move 300 soldiers in an open zone with camps and just sit there idle calling for help for 2 hours and Russia military with their s-400s, not shot down american planes attacking their guys is a bad joke. . Simply the entire story was made up , to discredit Russia military and Russia massive casualties 300-400 in a 2 hours duel with Americans did not happen at all . 2hours of bombing on Russian soldiers and Russian military looking to the other
side ,ignoring calls for help.. is non sense.. any position of ISIS or NATO forces attacking Russia military will get bombed withing 5 minutes of a call for help.. if no planes on the air at that time..
and a precision response could happen in seconds with Russian artillery forward positions and ballistic missiles..

Neither Russia military deploys in same place in a zone is withing range of enemy artillery and neither an attack of so much time as NATO claims was 2 hours.. will be impossible to happen , because again Russian military are not monkeys and they all know is dangerous to be all in same place so close to the enemy positions. Not even in the battle of Palmyra that Russia military participated they had anywhere near such loses.. they only lost a hand pocket of soldiers.. not 300 or 400.. and when Russia bombs ISIS for an 1 hour.. they neither kill 300 or 400..
because the terrorist naturally figured out if they spread their forces over wide areas they will minimize significantly their casualties...

So either Reuters and western media are FULL OF SHIT , about Russia military campaign ,and the hint that they lie is that also  they put into question Russia success in syria with "so many casualties" that "Putins hide"....   when defeated ISIS..  or ISIS and Alqaeda are more effective than Russian army in protecting their militants..  

You are simply a victim of Media war disinformation.. never forget in wars the truth is the first
victim.. and NATO main tools of DISINFORMATION?  CNN ,Reuters, Syrian observatory human rights -a one man organization living in london.., Washington Post ,New York times ,MSNBC ,NBC ,Vice news..BBC ,APS.. but also NGOS like white helmets ,doctors without borders ,OSCE... etc.. So dont buy their bullshit.. whenever you read anything on internet.. thing in the logic behind what they report.. if it make sense at all..  similar propaganda was run in Ukraine ,that thousands of Russian soldiers killed..

i dont think this is going to happen , unless Russia split with Turkey..

Just today in the news.. after the meeting in Sochi.. Erdogan is doubling down
with their claims that only Turkey army should be in North of Syria.. I think it will be
better for Russia to delay permanently the operation and wait for a new Government to show up..
in Turkey ,because with erdogan ,he will never give up ,north of Syria.. he wants that as a trophy.

But any opposition government that gets in power in Turkey will reverse ERdgoan ambitions
in less than a week .. and recall all their military and restore for real ,relations with Russia.

similar propaganda was run in Ukraine, that thousands of Russian soldiers killed..

No, they said dozens or 100s, not thousands!

I think it will be better for Russia to delay permanently the operation and wait for a new Government to show up..

What r u smoking? They'll have to wait for a very long time before it happens! Even then, there's no guarantee they'll act contrary to Turkey's interests, as they understand them.
Pl. learn to express ur ideas concisely- it's annoying to see read ur long posts going in circles with so much repetition!

A Historical Moment Possibly for the first time since Montreux Treaty was signed in 1936, a Russian submarine transited Bosphorus towards Mediterranean. Montreux Treaty Article 12 allows only Black Sea riparian states’ submarines to transit Bosphorus, and only for repairs.

Believed to be on the way to St Petersburg for repairs/upgrade. Albeit probably via the Syrian coast for a bit of live firing practice.

Improved Kilo class submarine of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, Krasnodar made a very rare and unexpected southbound passage through Istanbul. Montreux Convention. Art.12 allows submarines to exit the Black Sea only for repairs.

Incidently there could be what looks like a Naval buildup going on as there are now reputed to be 3 Imp Kilo in the Med, plus

Assad, Russian defense minister discuss situation in Idlib — SANA

Shoigu visited Damascus on March 19, bringing a message from Putin for Syrian leader

MOSCOW, March 19. /TASS/. /TASS/. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu discussed in Damascus on Tuesday the situation in Idlib province and east of the Euphrates River, SANA news agency said.

It said "the sides saw eye to eye as to a need for joint work to search for suitable solutions to bring security and stability back into these two regions of Syria".

The Syrian leader said at talks that "military-political coordination with Russia at a high level has become one of the key factors that ensured the staunchness of the Syrian people and success in fight against the Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist groups (both outlawed in Russia)".

"Some countries are fighting terrorists only in word, but in deed they align themselves with them, and continue covering them in some regions," Assad said. "This policy encourages an expansion of terrorism and results in a growing number of victims among the civilians," Assad said.

Earlier, the Defense Ministry said Shoigu visited Damascus on March 19 under instructions from President Vladimir Putin, bringing a message from the Russian president for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

It said that at talks with Assad, the Russian Defense Minister had discussed fight against terrorism in Syria, security for the Middle East and the post-conflict settlement. They also discussed the return of refugees and temporarily displaced persons to their homes in Syria, as well as humanitarian supplies.

((Take this with a pinch of salt))

Couple friends who are located somewhere near Al Golan are saying that they saw an explosion flash with a bang coming from the occupied heights
This MIGHT or MIGHT NOT be related
Can anyone from the other side confirm?

That makes a huge noise. Spreed microphones with signal processing softwares accross the country and you detect any missile attack. Better than radars as a early warning.

Russia needs attack drones..in service in Syria , the cost of using a million dollar cruise missiles
against terrorist that have no air defenses is ridiculous high.. If Russia had something like a
Predator drone , a hellfire missile even at americans prices ($115k) is significantly lower
than Kalibrs and have the advantage to hit with even better precision ,they drones attack on the spot ,with a clear view of the battlefield . Either Russia joins with China or Iran and develop cheap Attack drones with cheap precision missiles or else they will waste a fortune in cruise missiles..

GarryB wrote:Vann asleep as usual... they have a number of drones in development, but in the mean time they also have Su-30 and Su-24 and Su-34 aircraft dropping cheap dumb bombs on targets in Syria for quite some time now.

I know Russia is developing attack drones..

But Russia needs them NOW .. understand  the difference ?

And Combat planes are not a replacement for an attack drone , Because
they are very noisy and terrorist hide in their bunkers underground or simply disperse if they in the open and move tunnels they dig undergrounds.. So neutralizing the effectiness of Russian airforce..
and to make things worse NATO have RAdars inside Syria ,that warn the terrorist ,whenever Russia airforce is taking off ,for a bombing mission on them.. ,whenever they listen
the very loud noise of a Sukhoi plane.. While an Attack drone , can be very silent and could sneak right at the moment a major meeting of terrorist.. in the open ,or they dancing and celebrating their crimes.. and BOOM... bomb them with realtime logistic of the posicions of the terrorist.. A cruise missile can do the job to.. but the PRICE
difference is staggering ... is 10x times or more expensive $$.. to use cruise missiles.. thats the point..
and Russia needs attack drones Right now and not in 1 ,2 or 5 years..  In any future war , cheap attack drones , being build in the thousands is what will be the worse nightmare for terrorist who hide
in bunkers or in forest , to target them ,whenever they leave their hiding places..
