Another sign that the military operations in Syria are winding down,
Russia’s Defense Ministry has reported a vast reduction in the number of
military flights carried out over Syrian airspace by their planes in
recent weeks, a 99% drop from the war’s peak.
Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu said that Russia was carrying out 100 to
110 flights per day at its peak. Now, they do no more than 2-4 flights
per week, chiefly for reconnaissance purposes.
Though most of Syria’s major enemies are already defeated, there are few
left to airstrike at this point, with Russia and Syria laying off the
Turkey-backed rebels in the far north, and the limited ISIS presence in
the east a focus of US airstrikes.
Either way, Russia is clearly dialing back its intervention in Syria,
though it is likely to maintain a presence going forward, particularly
with the US having committed to a more or less open-ended operation in
the country, and Turkey threatening invasions.
And for Israel it’s 100%!…
Good job Vlad!
Russia has warned Israel that if they hit targets that are flying the Russian flag, they will hit similar installations in Israel.
Oh please Israel, hit a target with a Russian flag!!!
The only thing Israel understands is a bloody nose.
material proof of a last chance to peace
Here is an interesting look at what a key Russian official has to say about America’s current status in Syria:

The United Sates simply cannot accept that Assad remains in power despite their best efforts to remove him.
It is just as likely that Russian forces are doing a rest and refit. They have done that before, along with rotation of units. They never had large forces in country, by the standards of US involvements.
LONDON (Reuters) – A Russian mafia whistleblower who was found dead after going out for a run near his home in southern England six years ago probably died of natural causes rather than from an elaborate poison plot, a British coroner found on Wednesday.
Like every other false flag chemical poison use by Russia and/or Syria.
“Either way, Russia is clearly dialing back its intervention in Syria”
If Russia is intervening in Syria, then Assad must also be intervening in Syria!!!
