MANPADS are useless against Ka-52s. MANPADS don't have the range and they cannot see at night. Only Patriots would be able to shoot down Ka-52s.
Russian air force tanker and Su-24s flying over what appears to be Idlib.
And since when were there Ka-52s in Syria? Stop spamming this thread with your retarded nonsense.
Anyways, back to actual news on Syria:
This is the ceasefire reached for Zabadani/Fua'a and Kefarya:
- The signatories to the ceasefire were Jaish al Fateh & 3 Iranian negotiators and 1 Hezbollah.
Notice no negotiators from Assad.
- There is a possibility the agreement will be overseen by the UN (like they'll do anything.)
- There will be a ceasefire and then a 6 month agreement. It affects Zabadani, Madaya, Baqeen, Sarghaya, and surrounding regime bases (all in the South); and Fua'a, Kefarya, Binnish, Taftanaz, Taoum, Ma'art Misrin, Idlib, Ram Hamdan, Zardana, and Shelikh (all in the North).
- Everyone leaving Zabadani must be fighters, their families, and the wounded. No one else.
- Iran will work w/ Lebanon to bring back families that fled "illegally" to Lebanon, no more than 50 families can be brought back. (Talking about refugees here I think. Iran wants more civilians to kill and abuse.)
- Women & Children and men under 18 or over 50 can leave Fua'a and Kefraya but the number of those leaving cannot be over 10,000.
- Regime must release 500 prisoners
- The regime cannot fly in any of the areas mentioned above, to either bomb or drop weapons/aid to shia militias.
- Fighters from Zabadani will leave with their weapons and a packed bag, but heavy weapons will be destroyed.
- There cannot be arms depots near frontlines
- No humanitarian blockade on Fua'a and Kefraya or humanitarian blockade on Madaya, Baqeen, and Serghaya (towns near Zabadani under rebel control.)
Effectively, this deal is in favor of the rebels. They get to pull out from Zabadani (and still hold nearby positions) while they can still put Fua'a, Kefarya, etc under siege. And the biggest point, rebels have established a
No Fly Zone by themselves over Idlib. That means Idlib is now a good spot for refugees to flock to, no regime air bombardment or ISIS bombardment, regime artillery is not in range either.
