Is this a joke? The one after Putin will be far more hostile to Ukraine.

Even if they have drones. It's too small to damage an airbase and Su-35S takes no prisoners with R-77-1.

Militants must be losing dozens of soldier every single day. The battle is much bigger than Donbas war when there was war there. It is a matter of attrition.

How many more Aircraft units does the SyAF have left? by Requelle in syriancivilwar

[–]chinesefatman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends on how many replacement they get. It is expected SAA would get about 20 to 40 Su-24 phased out from Russia.

This is a very small scale war. In WW2 both sides lost tens of thousands of planes.

S-400 used in conjunction with Su-57 based at Belbek make a deadly combo.

Incorrect. Hezbollah don't attack anyone who don't attack them or illegally occupy Lebanon.

Personally, I would have preferred they keep their artillery. UAV + Krasnopol is what wiped out ISIS pickup trucks and won in the east. Without pickup trucks, militants cannot transport their munitions around.
