After Russian President Vladimir Putin decided to assist his friend in Syria, President Bashar al-assad, the scenario of the Syrian Civil War changed. By sending Russian Air Force and then Russian Special Operations Forces to Syrian soil to fight deadly terrorism of ISIS/Daesh it changes the faces of the war forever. Russian Air Force's continuous bombing on ISIS positions created devastating situations and forced those inhumane terrorists to pull back! Putin's intervention into Syrian war significantly reduced Daesh's mass killing of innocent civilians across Syria and Iraqi territories this terrorist group captured.

Firslty Russians cleared forward areas those were in ISIS capture and then compelled them to pull back. While Syrian Arab Army holds some ground Russia intensified the air strikes which created havocs for ISIS! They broke the supply chain of ISIS, curtail arms supply and finally made them to gather in holes that Russian fighter jets and Spec Ops Force Spetsnaz along with SyAA can smash these terrorists group forever.

However, most of the western leaders and mainstream media made, and still, crocodiles' tears by shouting that Russians targeting innocent civilians who're not supporting Bashar al-Assad. Kremlin didn't hear it but, proved it that CIA-Mossad-Saudi nexus created and keep alive ISIS and oither Syrian terrorists groups to topple Assad. In fact, Turkey was dealing it with great eagerness to see Assad ousted and handling the whole matter from behind the curtain.

Although, whose are behind ISIS, it's now smashed to death! Definitely credits goes to Putin's Russia! Toppling plan for Assad is now dead but very recently Saudi Foreign Minister al-Jubeir said that Plan-B to oust Assad will be implemented! To whom he threw the threat, we all know! We must wait and see what happens next!

UK Used Brimstone Missiles First Time In Syria

Royal Air Force used Brimstone missiles for the first time in Syria to strike against Daesh. Four attck was carried out by RAF combat jets deployed in the Middle East to fight against Daesh/ISIS/ISIL. Two of the strikes near Raqqa, targeted a vehicle and in the Omar oilfield in the eastern Syria, media reports. Two Tornado jets used a Brimstone missile to destroy a supply truck near Raqqa, and Paveway IV laser-guided bombs to target two IS buildings, including a command and control center. Another two Tornados and a Reaper drone used three Brimstones, as well as Hellfire missiles, to attack a number of mobile cranes brought in by IS to the Omar oilfield to try to repair damage inflicted by previous air strikes.

Brimstone missiles are radar-guided and can be used against moving targets. The RAF has carried out several strikes in Syria since MPs voted in favour of extending UK action into the country on 2 December. The UK and Saudi Arabia are the only two countries to have purchased Brimstones.

Are Turkey and Saudi Arabia Going to be Busted!?

King Salman and Turkish President Erdogan are about to spark a new war for control over Middle Eastern oil but the plan, which was in fact devised by Washington, will ultimately backfire, F. William Engdahl asserted. Riyadh, assisted by Qatar and Turkey, is striving to bring oil fields and pipeline routes in Iraq and neighboring Syria "under direct Saudi control," the expert on oil politics noted. "Unfortunately, as in all wars, there will be no winners," Engdahl wrote in an opinion piece for New Eastern Outlook. He also named the EU, the Iraqis, Syrians and Kurds as the main losers. 

The historian named four key groupings, which will be involved in the upcoming conflict. Sunnis, including Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Daesh and the recently formed Saudi-led anti-terrorist coalition, make up the first group. The second one consists of Syria, Iran, Iraq and Hezbollah, with Russia also being a factor. The analyst named Israel as the third player. Engdahl maintains that the fourth group, led by the United States, is "playing the most sly, deceptive role" at the moment.

"Washington is preparing a devastating trap that will catch the foolish Saudis and their Turkish and other Wahhabi allies in a devastating defeat in Syria and Iraq that will no doubt then be proclaimed as a 'victory over terrorism' and a 'victory for the Syrian people,'" the historian assumed.

Daesh, according to Engdahl, is instrumental to the Saudi plan. The oil kingdom wants the group to perform "ethnic cleansing of the legitimate Syrian populations" living in oil-rich regions so that it would then be able to transport fuel from Qatar and Saudi Arabia to Turkey through Syria. "Erdogan's Turkish military and most especially his Turkish intelligence, MIT, headed by close crony, Hakan Fidan, is playing a key role in the planned Saudi-Turk-Qatari coalition's move to destroy the regime of Assad and at the same time seize control for them of the rich oil fields of Iraq between Mosul and Kirkuk," the historian explained.

Although many see the recently-adopted UN Security Council resolution on Syria as an achievement that will help to bring lasting peace to Syria, Engdahl views the document as a "a near-perfect deceptive maneuver" designed by Washington to "set the stage for the imminent Saudi-Turk oil wars and subsequent debacle in Syria and Iraq." The agreement paves the way for a ceasefire, which is expected to be followed by the UN-supervised free and fair presidential election. "That ceasefire excludes Saudi and Turkey-backed Daesh, and the al-Qaeda affiliate, al-Nusra Front. At the same time, it calls for an immediate, simultaneous start of a 'political transition' which means completely contradictory things for the United States, Germany, France and the UK as it does for Syria, Iran, and Russia," Engdahl warned.

The expert maintains that Russia, Damascus-led forces, Hezbollah and Iran will abide by the resolution, while Daesh and the like will "have free reign to grab the oil riches" in Iraq and Syria. "At that point, the trap will have been set and Washington will no doubt spring it, with Russia, Iran and Assad … able to do little to prevent it," he observed.

Deadly Air Strike Hits Syrian Forces, For Troops Killed

An air strike has killed four Syrian military personnel in Deir al-Zor province, news reports said on Monday.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the strike hit part of the Saeqa military camp near the town of Ayyash in Deir al Zor province. 

The air raid wounded 13 Syrian military personnel.

A source close to the Syrian government confirmed the strike to the Reuters news agency and said there had been casualties and vehicles destroyed.

The strike hit some time in the last 24 hours, the monitoring group said.

It was not immediately clear which air force was responsible. The area is largely under the control of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

A US-led coalition has regularly targeted the group in the Syrian province.

Russia also began launching air strikes in Syria in September. 

In Deir al-Zor city, another air strike overnight Sunday killed a woman and two of her children, the Observatory said.

Russia Reinforcing its Military Presence in Central Syria Near Palmyra

Russia is reinforcing a military airport in central Syria as a new base for its warplanes as government forces edge closer to Palmyra, a military source and monitoring group said Thursday.

Russian Sukhoi Su-30 SM jet fighters land on a runway at the Hmeimim air base on Oct. 3 in the Syrian province of Latakia.

"The preparation phase for the Shaayrat base is nearing its end. It is being prepared to become a Russian military base," the military source told AFP, declining to be named.

"A number of Russian advisors arrived in Shaayrat weeks ago," the source said. The base "will begin being used by Russian forces before the end of this month."

Since Moscow began airstrikes in Syria on Sept. 30, its Su-34, Su-24, Su-30 and Su-25 planes have operated out of Hmeimim base in the coastal province of Latakia.

Shaayrat lies in Syria's central Homs province, north of several towns where government forces and allied militia backed by Russian airstrikes have been fighting the Islamic State jihadist group.

Late last month, regime forces recaptured the town of Maheen after IS had overrun it on Nov. 1.

Government troops have fought to edge closer to the historic town of Palmyra, about 130 km (80 miles) east of Shaayrat and held by IS since May.

Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said Russia was "building new runways at the Shaayrat airport and reinforcing its surroundings in order to use it soon for operations" in Homs province.

Abdel Rahman said Russian helicopters were already using the nearby T-4 military airport to strike IS targets in Palmyra.

"Syrian regime forces are about three kilometers (less than two miles) from Palmyra and are advancing from the south and west with air cover by Russian helicopters," he said.

The troops have also reached the edges of Al-Qaryatain, a mixed Christian-Muslim village in Homs province that IS seized in August.

The military source said Russian and Syrian aircraft had conducted at least 40 strikes in and around Al-Qaryatain in the past 24 hours.

He said there would be "an important advance" within 72 hours.

Russian President Vladimir Putin pledged to intensify his country's fight against IS after the organisation's Egypt affiliate claimed to have shot down a Russian airliner carrying 224 passengers.

Starting on Oct. 7, Syria's army launched ground attacks with Russian air support in at least four provinces across the country.

The army has also advanced in parts of Aleppo province of northern Syria.

Natanyahu Admits of Israeli Forces Operating in Syria

Israeli PM Natanyahu admits of Israeli forces operating in Syria. Some of strategic analysts said earlier that Israeli secret troops operating inside Syria against Syrian Government Forces to oust Bashar al-Assad's regime.

Al-Quds Brigades' General Qassem Soleimani Lightly Wounded in Syria

Gen. Qassem Soleimani, commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards' foreign operations wing, was lightly injured in fighting against Syria rebels near Aleppo, a monitoring group and a security source said Wednesday.

Soleimani "was injured a few days ago" in an offensive in the southwest of Aleppo province, a security source on the ground told AFP.

The head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based monitor of the war, also said the general was hurt.

He was "lightly injured three days ago in the Al-Eis area in the south of Aleppo province," Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP.

For several days, reports have been circulating on social media claiming the powerful commander was wounded or even killed in Syria, where Iran backs President Bashar al-Assad against an uprising that began in March 2011.

In response, a spokesman for the Revolutionary Guards, Rameza Sharif, said Tuesday that Soleimani was "in perfect health and full of energy."

"He helps the Islamic resistance in Syria and Iraq," Sharif added, according to SepahNews, the official site of the Revolutionary Guards.

Abdel Rahman said the commander was wounded while "leading military operations on the outskirts of Al-Eis, which is under the control of pro-regime forces."

"Many Iranian fighters are present in the area," he added.

Abdel Rahman said rebel groups launched a counteroffensive on Sunday in a bid to push regime forces from several areas in south Aleppo that they captured with support from Iranian and Lebanese Hezbollah ground forces and Russia air strikes.

Russia, another key Assad ally, began airstrikes in support of the government on Sept. 30.

Last month, a US official said some 2,000 Iranian or Iranian-backed forces were participating in the regime's Aleppo operations.

Iran has not officially acknowledged sending troops to Syria, but says it has "advisers" on the ground assisting regime forces.

Iran-backed Hezbollah also acknowledges its forces are fighting on the ground, and the presence of Iranian, Iraqi and Afghan "volunteers" has been documented.

Russia To Deploy S-400 Defense Missile System to Khmeimim Airbase in Syria - Defense Minister

The Russian Air Force base in Latakia will be reinforced with S-400 SAM system, which will soon be deployed there, Russia's Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said on Wednesday.

"S-400 will be deployed on Khmeimim airbase in Syria," Shoigu said at a Defense Ministry meeting.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Russian Su-24 was shot down by a Turkish F-16 fighter jet near the Turkish-Syrian border. One pilot died in the incident. The second one was rescued and brought to the Russian airbase in Latakia.

Moscow maintains the jet did not violate Turkey's airspace. It ditched on Syria's territory four kilometers from the border.

Shortly afterwards, the MoD announced three steps to be taken following the attack on the Russian Su-24 bomber, including providing aerial cover by fighter jets for every airstrike, boosting air defense by deploying guided missile cruisers off the Latakia coast, and suspending all military-to-military contacts with Turkey.

The S-400 is Russia's most advanced anti-aircraft defense system. It is as an upgrade of the S-300 Growler family, designed and developed by Almaz Antei. The S-400 is employed to ensure air defense using long- and medium-range missiles that can hit aerial targets at ranges up to 400 kilometers. The S-400 is capable of hitting tactical and strategic aircraft as well as ballistic and cruise missiles. The system includes a set of radars, missile launchers and command posts, and is operated solely by the Russian military.

Khmeimim airbase in Latakia, Syria, accommodates Russian Air Force squadrons of Su-27SM and Su-30 fighter jets, Su-34 and Su-24 tactical bombers, which are all taking part in airstrikes on Islamic State positions. The airbase is protected by state-of-the-art air defense systems and radars. Khmeimim also has a fully operational unit for maintaining fixed- and rotor-wing aircraft and providing logistical assistance to pilots.

Russian Defense Minister Confirms Jet Shot Down by Turkey

Turkey has shot down a Russian military jet which it says violated its airspace near the Syrian border.

A military official, quoted by Turkey's Dogan news agency, said the plane was shot down by Turkish F16s, and that the pilots were given repeated prior warning.

Video posted by the Haberturk TV station appeared to show the jet coming down in flames, while separate footage showed two pilots parachuting to safety within hostile Syrian territory. Their fate remains unknown.

In a statement, the Russian defence ministry confirmed the jet was one of its SU-24 bombers.

But it denied Turkey's claims that the plane violated its air space, saying Moscow has proof the jet was over Syria "at all times".

And a Russian military official also denied Turkey's claims it brought the plane down with two F16s on regular border patrols - saying it believed the bomber was shot down by artillery fire from the ground.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan was briefed by the head of the military, while Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu ordered consultations with NATO, the United Nations and related countries, their respective offices said.

Nato's headquarters in Brussels, already in a tense state of lockdown following the terror threat there, said it would be issuing a statement later on Tuesday.

Rami Abdurrahman, who heads the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the warplane crashed in the Turkomen Mountains region in the coastal province of Latakia.

Various reports described the plane as coming down in hostile Syrian territory, and broadcaster CNN Turk cited local sources saying one of the pilots was in the hands of Turkmen forces who were searching for the other.

CNN Turk published images purporting to show two pilots parachuting safely to the ground, and reported that two helicopters had been sent from Turkey to try and retrieve them.

The Russian military has sent its own helicopters to search for the pilots on the ground, according to the Dogan news agency.
