    Russia bombed the rebels, together with the Syrian Air Force they were killing 200+ a day which would have mattered in a long war. https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/syrian--russian-forces-eliminate-terrorist-units-in-coordina

    “Over the past day, aircraft of the Russian armed forces and the Syrian air force carried out missile and bombing strikes on places of militants’ accumulation and ammunition depots in the provinces of Idlib, Hama and Aleppo. Up to 200 terrorists, 15 armored combat vehicles, two MLRS, two mortars, 43 vehicles, nine motorcycles, 15 drones, two command posts, seven material depots were destroyed,” Ignasyuk stated.

    But they never had many forces on the ground (6000 personel in 2017, idk how many now), Iran/Hezbollah basically liberated the country last time.







  • From my standpoint, Syria is stronger than what it was in 2012. Also, they have strong allies such Russia and Iran so I am confident that we will see reality when the dust settles in the same fashion to what happened with Ukraine.

    I am hopeful as the Syrian army hasn’t yet lost in real fighting but I think the situation is close to its worst. Syria in 2012 did not lose major cities. They merely retreated from the countryside/desert.

    While there were foreign terrorists in the civil war, they did not have a safe haven to accumulate in for years. We don’t know how many jihadists from all across the world were accumulated in Idlib from all these years since 2019. There are significant convoys heading down the highway.

    The resistance forces coming in from Iraq are having to deal with the Kurds and US, and lack a clear connection to Damascus. Russia’s bases near the sea have almost been cut off by the offensive.
