    In my mind its clear why the Turks are making these moves. They have to to protect the families of those who live in this area who are now working for them in Libya. No protection = no go. In their mind their own army will be best positioned to reject any assault by Russians.

    Could the supply of new aircraft mig-29 be a sign that Syrian air force aircraft are at the end of their life (not all) they have su-24m2 for precision attack and can carry more. I wouldn't be surprised Syrian aircraft were fairly old at the start of the conflict and have flown way past their life and flown countless missions for years. Would be great to see their actual numbers left in service. I believe their mig-25 have been retired during the conflict mainly down to cost and better aircraft for ground attack

    High sortie rate on older models would increase wear and tear and would be harder to source spares and parts for.

    Having older single role models means a lot more aircraft are needed just to offer a useful number of platforms to get the needed jobs done.

    A MiG-29 with a modest SMT upgrade could be fitted with a gefest&T upgrade to allow the accurate use of dumb bombs and rockets yet at the same time carry more modern air to air weapons.... replacing older types, yet at the same time improving performance and reducing costs with easier to source parts.

    If Turkey wants to send Terrorists from Syria to Yemen and Libya then that is a good thing... grind them up in other conflicts like grain...

    Looks like they used two... one came in through the windscreen and one from the top to take out the people in the back seats too...

    Considering US history of murdering people I suspect the reason they got killed was because they wouldn't change sides to fight against Assad and then sell out what ever new country state replaces Syria when Assad is dead and syria is in chaos.

    America leaves lots of these dirtbags alive... there is no morality to this... it is just business.

    The Hellfire R9X used for this strike is purely Kinetic Energy based AGM having blades to decimate what comes it's way. A very lethal & precise weapon, with little to no collateral damage at the same time. Great for targeting specific individuals in crowded spaces.

    Yep, I know.... that video in the piece you linked to shows an impact through the windscreen targeting the people in the two front seats and a second impact in the top targeting the people in the rear seats.

    I suppose it is an improvement over previous attacks using standard Hellfires that kill everyone in the car and people in cars or on the street nearby, but it is still murder... these weapons are used in countries the US is not at war with and the targets selected are mainly enemies of the US like Russia and China and a multitude of other people who don't accept Americas right to do as it pleases.

    Of course once Russia has a few murderbots in service the Americans will suddenly demand rules and regulations regarding their use but until then they will murder Iranian generals lured with promises of a peace treaty, or just random people in Pakistan and Yemen and throughout Africa...

    There is only no collateral damage if they target the right car or person... Maybe Trump could use a few... on Hilary Clinton and her wife, and Joe Biden perhaps...

    Looks like it could be a standard Hellfire this time.

    BEIRUT, LEBANON (12:10 P.M.) – Local reports from Idlib revealed the killing of two senior jihadist leaders from the “Ansar al-Tawhid” organization last night.

    According to the reports, an unknown drone, likely U.S. Coalition, carried out an airstrike in the Al-Sina’a District of Idlib city, after which an explosion was heard that shook the administrative capital.

    Not long after the drone strike, opposition activists took to social media to report the attack on the eastern part of the Idlib city.

    The two remains of the two jihadist commanders were recovered shortly after the attack, with no group or force claiming responsibility for the attack.

    Meanwhile, Sputnik Arabic, citing local sources, confirmed that the two people who were killed as a result of this raid were in a meeting at one of the jihadist compounds belonging to Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham, on the outskirts of Idlib without knowing additional details about their identity and nationality.

    No further details have been released since the attack.

    Over the last month, at least three mysterious drone strikes have been carried out in the Idlib Governorate; these attacks have specifically targeted members of Ansar Al-Tawhid (formerly Jund Al-Aqsa) and the Hurras Al-Deen group.

    The Syrian government requires "SDF" to share influence and oil, and a share for the Russians ... and America chooses neutrality
    An informed Syrian Kurdish source revealed the return of negotiations

    Between the Syrian government and the Democratic Union Party (PYD), under Russian supervision, they partly agreed on a number of issues.
    The Kurdish source said: The PYD delegation returned from the capital, Damascus, two days ago to Qamishli

    After he held "intensive meetings with senior Syrian officials," noting that "the two sides reached a partial agreement under Russian auspices" .... and on the terms of the agreement:
    The source, who declined to be named, explained

    "The partial agreement includes the Russian Air Force stopping a Turkish attack that is being prepared against Kobani and Ain Issa this month, in addition to granting the local administration in all SDF control areas to the Democratic Union Party without any official recognition.

    On the other hand, during the meetings, the Syrian government proposed its return to the areas of the Syrian Democratic Forces, power-sharing, influence, oil and gas with the management of the Democratic Union Party in full,

    and also requested that the border crossings be in the hands of the Syrian government forces and major cities such as Al-Qamishli, Hasaka and several other areas.

    Under Russian supervision and guarantees that the Syrian agencies will not arrest the Kurds in the future .. and give the Kurds the right to study in the Kurdish language in the eastern regions, provided that oil and gas imports and agriculture for the Syrian state

    with the exception of the 100/25 quota for the Kurds, and the source confirmed that the party's delegation returned from Damascus to consult the Kurdish top leadership on the agreement Partial and state demands,

    and he will return to Damascus soon to complete negotiations with officials there. "

    The source revealed, "Russia is exerting great pressure. The SDF must make concessions

    In the interest of the Syrian government, while the United States does not pay any attention to the border areas with Turkey, and its interest is focused only on the Al-Tanf area and the Deir Zor region to fight the Iranian expansion, according to the description of the US army.

    Okay, you are clueless, Let's break this down.

    1. They were in MRAPS vehicles designed to withstand situations like this.

    2. There were three injuries all of which are reported to be very minor, MRAPS can take a mine going off under them very well, a car bomb going off near the side isn't going to cause damage that would be life-threatening to the crew.

    3. This was a joint patrol with the Turks, so it just wasn't Russians there.

    4. There is always a risk for any solider to come under attack for any reason, only a moron would expect otherwise. Incidents like these ARE going to happen PERIOD, there is no stopping them. What matters is the response.

    5. i am not defender of Putin he has let men die to suit his needs sure, but the guy loves his country all militaries to a degree will sacrifice a few men here and there for a purpose.

    Okay, you are clueless,

    One of the understatements of the day. Not only are is UW clueless but he is also a menace.

    There are people reading this thread who are not able to sort the wheat from the chaff in the comments, who might well take most comments here as factual. Now your latest comment is a bit up the wall so they hopefully just put you down as an idiot.

    But that is not my point, by making comments like that, not you first, you are adversely affecting the validity of what others say here. So can I please plead with you to take a more considered view rather that just spouting what comes first into your head like a teenager on a promise.

    Following that incident I have little doubt that many terrorists met their virgins today well before they expected, courtesy of the RuAF.
