According to pro-government sources, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) is on the verge of taking full control of the Inthriyah-Resafa road and dozens of villages in the eastern Aleppo countryside.
The SAA has managed to capture Bir Abu Alaj and the Syriatel checkpoint south of it, deploying 10 km away from the SAA units stationed in Khirbet al-Baida, north of Ithriyah.
In the eastern Homs countryside, pro-government sources announced that Brig General. Fouad Kaddour, was killed during clashes with ISIS. According to the sources, General Khaddour worked in eastern Homs for years against ISIS and participated in a majority of the operations in the area.
Russian Air Force warplanes continued to target ISIS positions and vehicles in the eastern Homs countryside and the eastern Hama countryside.

It is believed that the SAA will focus on the eastern Hama countryside, where it has not yet managed, despite the great fire support, to achieve any advance. ISIS is trying to keep Aqerba’at town near the Ithriyah road under its control at any cost. The town is considered a root for weapon smuggling to the terrorist organization from the opposition-held areas of Idlib.
RIP Brig General Fouad Kaddour You fought well for Syria
RIP General Kaddour, your sacrifice shall not be in vain
May I say so also as a Briton. We are very grateful for your and Syria’s stand. I apologize, on behalf of my fellow Britons, for all the misery our execrable governments have caused you and continue to do.
oh I’m in Canada but thanks for the complement I hope you find salvation in Great Britain
RIP General Kaddour.

R.I.P Brig General Fouad Kaddour. A Lion of the Desert and a Son of Syria.
The Senior Officers of Syria and her allies see it as their duty to experience the conditions their men endure in combat .
The greatest danger all too many US coalition senior officers endure are faeces on their penis or a dose of herpes.
Hona quien honor merece, Fouad Kaddour. Los frutos de su lucha lo veran sus hijos y generaciones por venir.
General Fouad Kaddour RIP from Serbia
RIP General Fouad Kaddour

the first strike in the vid is made with a KAB tv guided bomb, which iirc was developed in the Soviet Union and firstly used against jihadists in Afghanistan.
The others are made with unguided bombs, they show pretty high accuracy for the type of munitions employed.
I remember skepticism on the part of JDAM fanboys in regard to the SVP aiming complex deployed on VKS planes, but it seems to me that the air operations in Syria proven the validity of the system (especially since it’s a particularly difficult environment, in regards to winds and terrain).
I’d also say that the VKS is making large usage of guided-munitions which cannot be degraded by electronic means. Both laser and (especially) GPS guided bombs can be jammed by cheap, off-the-shelf kits.
Brave Fouad Kaddour, we bless you from Russia. Rest in Peace.
Always in front of his soldiers ! RIP
