On December 12, warplanes of the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out a number of airstrikes on the northwestern Syrian region of Greater Idlib.
The airstrikes hit militants’ positions in the outskirts of the town of Kabani in the northern Lattakia countryside and the town of Halluz in the southwestern countryside of Idlib.
Kabani is the stronghold for many terrorist groups, including Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, the Turkistan Islamic Party and Ajnad al-Kavkaz. From the town, militants launch drone and rocket attacks at Syrian military positions and Russia’s Hmeimim Air Base on the Syrian coast on a regular basis.

A day earlier, a combat drone, reportedly Russian, struck two militants’ posts near the town of Sufuhon in the southern Idlib countryside.
These strikes were likely a response to recent provocations by Greater Idlib militants. The ceasefire in the region, that was brokered by Russia and Turkey on March 5, appears to be on the brink of collapse.
Turkish forces have been increasing their presence in Greater Idlib. At the same time, the Syrian Arab Army and its allies have been deploying reinforcements in the region.
Any new military confrontation in Greater Idlib will likely see government troops attempting to liberate the M4 highway. The strategic highway links the port city of Lattakia with Aleppo city, the country’s industrial hub.

You all know that these Muslim terrorists are supported by their ally Turkey. There are many Turk and Turkmen Jihadis amongst them. Putin supports Erdogan and Turkey. Hell, Russians are allies with the Turk, collaborate with the Turks against their de jure allies the Armenians. These few bombing are for show, only to give talking points to pro-Russian trolls in the media and the web. A few fuel-air bombs would have cleared these terrorist nests within hours. There are no “civilians” in Idlib. Only Muslim terrorists and their equally terrorist wives and children. (We have seen on their videos how the Muslim terrorists’ terrorist children hack human beings to death.) Putin=Erdogan Turkey=Muslim terrorists=Russia
Russia achieved the Armenian genocide for the Turks. By enabling the Azeris to conquer the lands between Karabakh and Iran, Russia cut off Armenia’s lifeline and only connection to the outside world. Armenia will be depopulated before the century is over. Aliyev and Erdogan already said that Yerevan, Zangezour and Sevan belong to the Turks. Putin agrees. Thanks Putin the Jew for finally genociding Armenia with your buddies Pashinyan, Aliyev and Erdogan.
If SAA attacks it would be immediately hit back by Turkish drones. If Russia wants to capture Kabani to put in safe the military bases should send its own troops
