Highly focused attacks against the concentrated cluster of Israeli Military Industrial Complex, barrel artillery area saturation attack against theris main airfields, large scale armoured/meachanized breakthrough operation in Isreali territory or UAV/cruise missiles/ballistic missiles attacks against theirs command bases, main radar bases or PGM depots are well beyond this red line and will be immediately responded with a demonstrative initial tactical nuclear strike on the most critical infrastructure of enemy territory.

I doubt they'd go that far immediately but preempt with conventional forces--if politically possible; it wasn't in '73.

This is the hard reality of that theatre since '70 years ,and none will see ,still today, any of the conventionally armed nation of the area attempt any strange idea against Israel, it is simply out of question.

Yes as matters now stand. Hopefully the future will be different. Israel also seemed invincible after '67 but the arabs showed otherwise at the start of the '73 war. Although the arabs ultimately lost even in '73 that was due to strategic incompetence, especially on the part of Sadat. It wasn't inevitable.

Russian military specialists in Syria

Apologies if already discussed. But does this report have any credit does anyone know anymore info on it.

Russia tests FOAB in Syria back in 2017

Another S-400 air defense system was deployed in Syria.

Satellite images made it possible to identify in Syria another area where the S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems are located, which are under the control of the Russian military. As it turned out, the latter cover the deployment area of ​​the Syrian S-300 air defense systems - the distance between the Syrian S-300 area and the Russian S-400 area is only less than 1,5 kilometers. This allows for effective protection at various distances, and most importantly, such a deployment does not allow the United States and other NATO countries to read data from the radars of the Russian Triumphs.

A few years earlier, the deployment area of ​​the S-400 Triumph air defense system formed a kind of triangle together with the Syrian S-300 and Russian S-400 deployed at the Khmeimim airbase. However, earlier there was information that one S-400 air defense system division at the Khmeimim airbase is quite enough to provide cover for the Russian military and the Syrian army, in connection with which the complexes were allegedly removed from the territory of Syria. As it turned out, at least four mobile launchers and two radars from the S-400 air defense system are located near Masyaf.

Experts do not exclude that the S-400 complexes deployed here provide cover for the area from Israeli attacks. At the same time, it is known that the Russian military approached comprehensively to ensure protection and, in addition to long-range air defense systems, short-range air defense systems are also deployed here. This ensures maximum efficiency in repelling attacks.

Perhaps if they located a site that was making chem or bio weapons that was isolated enough to prevent civilian casualties... but it is very unlikely in my opinion.

Syria is a great testing ground for new systems, but they can't just test everything.

Also an explosion in enemy territory equivalent to 45 tons of HE would be noticed and would be filmed by people from all over the area... that is not something you could keep secret... and more importantly why would you want to?

If you are using it against enemy chem or bio weapons production factories you should be proud to be destroying that shit.

Very true.

Also, there isn't much to test, FOAB was tested in Russia, it's not a new system too.

Not sure if this is news.

The RuAF's S-400 in Hmeimen, S-300 in Tartous and S-400 up in the Masyaf hills next to the SyAF S-300 have all been there quite a time. Is there a new 3rd S-400 out there now? That would be news.

Yeah your right. Definitely in the needs more confirmation category.

A Russian Special Forces soldier sets up a Russian flag in the city of Daraa, in an area recently controlled by militants.
Today, the city will completely come under the control of the Syrian government. The remnants of the militants will surrender or be resettled on green buses to the north of Syria.

Far too optimistic, this will drag on for a while yet, it is a big area.

Many rebels still have not made any move for a reconciliation and refuse to give up weapons in Dara'a al-Balad. They will most likely leave north, but military conflict not out of the question
