Turkey and Russia agreed to preserve the status-quo in Syria's Idlib region during a meeting on Wednesday between President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, a senior Turkish official told Middle East Eye...

Current staus-quo in Idlib is VKS blastin' away any and all Jihadists on sight so it's cool in my book

Today's morning in Idlib:

There are at least 14 Russian unmanned aerial vehicles over Idlib this morning.

Today, the Russian Aerospace Forces are actively bombing the city of Maaret Misrin, the Jabal Ansariya ridge and the area to the west of Aleppo.

The Syrian Army is launching artillery strikes on the settlements of Fatira, Kensefra and Sfuhen on the Chebel-Zawiya line.

Russian planes bombed on the outskirts of the city of Al-Ziyar, northwest of Hama. 

Idlib reports on the use by the Syrian army (or the Russian Armed Forces) of operational-tactical surface-to-ground missiles.

Almost two thousand terrorists decided to surrender to the Russian military.

Over the past week, almost two thousand militants who took part in hostilities both against the Syrian and, obviously, against the Russian military, preferred to surrender to the Russian military. According to the information previously provided by the Avia.pro news agency, a week earlier the number of militants who decided to surrender their weapons and stop terrorist activities was 5.5 thousand. As of September 30, 2021, the number of those has already reached 7150 people.

At the moment, the Russian side acts as an intermediary between the militants and the Syrian government forces, guaranteeing the first absence of persecution, provided that they return to peaceful life and surrender their weapons. Nevertheless, illegal armed groups have already begun to cooperate with the SAA forces, as reported by the Russian Vesna news agency.

“After the entry of Russian army units in Deraa, the situation in this hot spot near the borders of the SAR, Israel and Jordan has changed markedly. After the intervention of the Russian military in the south of the SAR, the fierce fighting stopped completely, the process of stabilizing the situation and the surrender of weapons by members of the illegal armed group is underway. More than 7100 militants have already responded to the call to stop the bloodshed and make peace with the government. ", - reports the publication "Russian Spring"

In fact, in a week, more than 1600 militants decided to move to a peaceful life. At the same time, it is reported that Russia and Syria are steadily maintaining their earlier promises. Obviously, this will lead to the fact that in the coming months the Syrian army will fully regain control over the southwestern part of Syria.

I miss the time when progress was being made and map updates were everyday. It's been stagnant for long time. Let me hope progress gets made soon. And Syria and Russia finally achieve total liberation

There's no such thing as free lunch

Syria at the time, 6 years ago this week, of Russia's intervention




Syria now

Hardly able to read anything. Can you post enlarged maps of these two?

A new form of suicide drone

They should have plenty of EW aircraft they could bounce signals off to control drones at long ranges and view video feeds to decide whether to set off explosives or disable the explosives (ie if militants or kids pick it up respectively).

Seems unlikely due to line of sight operation but maybe the drones operator is listening and watching what's going on?

He doesn´t have to. If the drone is brought down the self-destruction mode is activated. Then the drone waits for the evil doers to come closer... Like the Su-25 pilot who blew himself and some takfiris up with a hand grenade.
