Analysts: Russia has managed to turn the tide in Syria

39
The antiterrorist operation of the Russian Federation in Syria has changed the balance of forces in favor of the Assad government, leads RIA News analyst conclusions from IHS Jane's.



“Thanks to Russian support, the territory controlled by the Syrian authorities increased by 1,3% between September 29 2015 and January 11 2016. These successes were a turning point for the government, given that it lost 18% territory in the first eight months of 2015, and everything went towards the loss of Aleppo and violent attacks on Latakia, the main area of ​​residence of the Alawites. ”- the report says.

According to analysts, "the immediate goal of Russia in Syria - strengthening the positions of the Assad government and preventing its military defeat at the hands of Sunni insurgents - has been largely achieved."

“As a result,” IHS Jane’s believes, “conditions have been created for a cease-fire in a number of regions of Syria, but serious concessions at the Vienna talks remain unlikely.”

Nevertheless, according to experts, "the successes of the Syrian authorities in the fight against the IG grouping in the area of ​​the city of El-Bab may induce the West to support the political solution to the conflict, in which the existing power structures in Syria will remain."

      And someone doubted? But losing is always easier than giving back. The Syrians lost 18% of the country in eight months, and returned, with the support of Russia, 1,3% in three and a half. Can you imagine how prepared all kinds of "oppositionists" are? I am generally silent about the devils from DAISH - both preparation and fanaticism.
      I mean that the "patriotic sentries" screech: "Putin entered Syria to drain Assad in exchange for lifting the sanctions." Assad, at such a pace, would have merged by the middle of this year.

          There are no fronts in Syria. In the desert there is a focal war. System of strong points at key points. The desert, it is also a desert in Africa, fuck is not needed if you can not live there.

        The specifics of the fighting in the desert - took a well or an oasis and already control 500 km of the desert around. So they fight from source to source, from intersection to intersection. So it was in the time of Salladin and Rommel, and now the same thing.
        It makes no sense to pour blood on anyone unnecessary sand and stones.

      Yes. The Ministry of Defense is doing just fine, but you still have to understand that it is important to accelerate in the fight against ISIS. The terrorist threat must be eliminated as soon as possible. To do this, you must provide all possible assistance. Starting with humanitarian aid and ending with personal "maturation" to go to the aid of the Syrian army, as, for example, I am going to do. So far, we only hear that people are fleeing to ISIS, but I wonder why few people are fleeing to fight ISIS. This is a serious threat and should not be treated as something distant, they say, "my hut is on the edge ..."

      Of course, it was not in vain, it was not for nothing that the minke whales began to stir, excavators bombed for a year and a half and pushed the barbarians to overthrow Assad and the collapse of Syria, but the war in Syria is still far from over and the liberation will be long, but the most important thing is that the Syrian army has revived and is coming.

      No doubt they would have done that 2 years ago! But even their "exceptional" minds became clear how dangerous it is to play a war with Russia. Most likely they will fight against the Russians by proxy hands. This is their favorite tactic against a strong opponent.

    controlled by the Syrian authorities increased by 1,3% in the period from September 29, 2015 to January 11, 2016.
    At this rate, the war will not end soon. We must somehow hurry. It is clear that semi-guerrilla warfare is a sluggish phenomenon and breaks down into private episodes of battles with individual units. There is no clear front line and general battles. But 1,3% is not enough. In such a war, it is more important not the number of occupied towns, but the blocking of supply channels for militants. And this is not easy. Weapons and new soldiers are "thrown" into Syria from all sides and the potential of mad fanatics or people simply lured by the war does not dry out. Of course, it would be correct to have them in the training camps adjacent countries have yet to bomb, to strike at the reconnoitered weapons depots, but it is impossible --- politics.

    That which began to recognize success is already good.
    however, serious concessions at the Vienna talks remain unlikely

    And who, according to IHS Jane's analysts, should make concessions? It is very doubtful that Russia would make concessions to the United States and the SA in the upcoming negotiations, which by hook or by crook are trying to drag outright terrorists and bandits into this process.

    There is too much pathos and boast in the media, and the situation was reversed and how smartly they bombed, and what wonderful planes, then the Turks shot down the plane and immediately lowered it from heaven to earth, now the NATO forces will be brought in and in the ass we’ll sit down again. they’ll knock them down, they’ll have to wipe themselves again. We need to shake our tongue less and do more. I still remember how our paratroopers entered Kosovo, occupied the airport, they met the population with flowers and hope, and what was the result? The local population was cut out and driven out, a piece of land was cut off from Serbia, and Russia was once again disgraced sharply.

Its indispensability was paid by those who now, at the last Gaidar forum, were crucified about the development of the economy ... negative The current leaders are not particularly tense because they make collegial decisions. There is no responsible person among them (who will be responsible for everything) who can say:
            "I directed you, I will be responsible for everything."

In those years, traitors in power were led by Yeltsin, the army was a wretched sight, the country depended on imported food. have you entered the convoy of paratroopers? They introduced it, and no one knew what to do next, they did not begin to create military infrastructure there, and with disgrace brought it out, it would be better not to meditate at all. They would have simply leaked Milosevic, without unnecessary pathos about the allies of the Serbs, for whom Russia would intercede and all.

    From the point of view of arithmetic, this is not enough, 1.3%, but this is a plus, not a minus! The territory is not shrinking, but growing. And taking into account the desert area, which is not inhabited at all, one must look at the population. What percentage of the population is on this 1.3%? And all the same, stockists call such a situation "trend breakdown", i.e. the downward dynamics was replaced by upward ones.

      I remember the Arabian Israeli soldiers, where the Soviet Union heavily armed Arab countries, where the number and quality of Arabs tanks exceeded the Jews by several times, but thanks to inept command, and the lack of intelligible tactics, the Arabs lost. Syrian tanks in cities, without infantry support, this is suicide.

    “Thanks to Russian support, the territory controlled by the Syrian authorities increased by 1,3% in the period from September 29, 2015 to January 11, 2016.

    The head of North American diplomacy, J. Kerry, said that the territory of the ISPTD in the current 2016 year, "will be seriously reduced."
    According to Kerry, IS "has already lost up to 30% of the territory in Syria and about 40% of the territory in Iraq. "

    After Carter's statement, it becomes clear that the American army is entering Syria. And that Kurdistan as a state is likely to be ... i.e. part of the territory of Syria is still grabbed. And the Russian leadership actually agreed with this after the talks in Geneva (on the topic of who should be considered a terrorist in Syria). The Kurds are no longer terrorists. The fact that the process has begun confirms Turkey’s discontent over the United States.
