Aleppo will be completely in SAA's control any day now. They control 95% of it, and doubt the last pocket will take that long. However, I wonder how well they can fortify it against future attacks. If they fortify it well, then they can shift their attention to other areas, as Aleppo has been one of the most intense battlezones in the war.
I wish more people here were interested in discussing the battle strategies and such. This is supposed to be a militarily forum, but there is rarely any military talks. It might as well have been called feelings.pk
For example, I've been looking at the map,

What would be the next step be for SAA after Aleppo? Personally, I think they should clean up all the pockets, and forget Idlib for now. Everything surrounding Damascus should be cleared of opposition, and then think about the area between Hama and Homs. Defenses should be set up against ISIS advances, but otherwise I think they can ignored for now as they don't hold anything strategic. ISIS is already get screwed by Iraq through Mosul, Kurds advancing towards Raqqah, and Turks towards Al-bab.
Personally, I think they should airdrop soldiers in Deir Ez Zor and see if it is possible to expand the area of control in there. It would be risky, and I don't how capable their elites would be, but if they control the roads from there, then ISIS would be stuck in Palmyra.
