Units of the Syrian Army and its allies have continued their advance on positions of Turkish-led forces in Greater Idlib followiing the second liberation of Saraqib.
In eastern Idlib, Syrian troops retook the villages of Jawbas, Tarnaba, Dadikh and Kafr Battikh west of Saraqib. By this move, they technically secured the M5 highway that, if hostilities end, would allow the Syrian military to restore movement along it. In southern Idlib, the Syrian Army pushed the Turkish Army and al-Qaeda members back from Kafr Nabul and retook the villages of Amqiyah and Fulayfil.
According to the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (a pro-militant propaganda outlet), over 100 members of Idlib armed groups were killed in the recent clashes.

In the course of the advance, the Syrian military shot down another Turkish combat drone near Saraqib. Another Turkish drone was downed east of Khan Al-Subil.

At the same time, a L-39 warplane of the Syrian Air Force was downed by the Turkish military over Idlib. The warplane crashed near Maarat al-Numan. One pilot died in the incident. The second one survived.

The Turkish Defense Ministry claimed that March 3 that during the past 24 hours Turkish-led forces had destroyed a warplane, a UAV, 6 battle tanks, 5 howitzers and artillery pieces, 2 air defense systems, 3 armored combat vehicles, 5 armed pickups, 6 military vehicles and an ammunition depot belonging to Syrian forces. The defense ministry also claimed that 327 Syrian soldiers were “neutralized” during the same period. Taking into account that the Turkish-provided number of “neutralized” Syrian soldiers was 2,557, the Turkish-claimed number of “neutralized” Syrian soliders since the start of Operation Piece Spring just reached 2,884.
Bahar Kalkanı Harekâtı gece boyunca başarıyla sürdürüldü. Son 24 saatte; 1 uçak, 1 İHA, 6 tank, 5 obüs/ÇNRA, 2 hava savunma füze sistemi, 3 zırhlı muharebe aracı, 5 silahlı pikap, 6 askeri araç ve 1 mühimmat deposu imha edildi, 327 Rejim askeri de etkisiz hale getirildi.

The Turkish campaign in Idlib is apparently going in a direction that the Turkish leadership does not like. The Turkish Army and its proxies failed to deliver a devastating blow to the Syrian Army and lost most of the gains made during first days of the operation.
Turkish propaganda sources claim that Turkish F-16 fighter jets launch air-to-air missiles at Syrian warplanes from the Turkish side of the border:

Meanwhile, Turkish supporters are claiming that Turkey will deploy Hisar air defense systems to the Syrian province of Idlib in order to put an end to Syrian and Russian strikes on al-Qaeda terrorists there. Right now, these claims look like a wishful thinking.

russians+iranian+hizbullah+isis+sdf+saa and other mercanery vs TURKS , You killed 2 million Muslims, now you continue with the Christians, but you will be punished and wrath, be patient and see. If your father is not Russia, we will drive you to hell in a few hours.
lol are you retarded ?

Iran should first destroy the corona virus. Also, there is the Turkish

Real fools are fighters for religions.
You talk about Erdogan?

He is. Even his goat thinks Attilla is retarded.
The poor goat.
The RSPCA has contacted the goat and arranged counselling , I understand.
Like you
Read some books, research, think, learn
Well he is inbred, does that count ?.
You are far behind
How sad. Just like your “leader”, you are a rabid dog that needs to be put out of its misery – a sick, deformed human. The world sees how sick Turkey and its insane religious murderers are. If you insist on full war, Russia and Iran will destroy Turkey and no EU country or the US will help such a sick country.
The sad thing is that you don’t see 2 million people killed and 13 million people exiled in Syria.We don’t need anybody’s help. We are not a herd of hyenas like you (iranian+russian+saa+isis+sdf+ and others) We can fight you all for humanity and goodness.
Humanity and goodness ? we have a Turkish comedian go
this guy is a whole new level ? ?
:D YOU
First choose to prostitute Christians, then consider your Muslim
Says the israeli prostitute, go fuck a goat will you!
I would give it up now, because you just sound like an inbred cunt.
Learn some history strategy and sociology
We wont even start with the latanny of things you need to learn.
Love thy neighbor, start with that.
Or are you too busy being a zionist prostitue!
Learn strategy from the Turks, how to loose land for 500 years and cover it up with genocides. How to make every country hate you
Blow me, fool.
You are as blind as the facts in detail
“humanity and goodness”. That is the best Turkish joke ever, I have to congratulate you.
Ask your grandparents about the Turkish they tell you
Hahahahaha turkey is the antithesis of.goodness.
Way to pump up your tires, the way your going there gonna blow up in your face! Turkey is now jabhat al.nusrah, what a shame on your once great country.
You caused this mess fix it. Dumbass.
What do you want you turkish goat lover and camel raptist? When your grand fathers would have more in their brain millions of squad-skull turk-mongols won’ t have pooring over western europe to do miserable work. Non-skilled turkish-peasant, nothing else, cheap and sstrong smelly. Keep at home and that is the mongo prairie and take these almanciks with you..
Attila the bun, what the fuck are you waffling about you greasy wop. Oh and by the way Syria, Iran and Hezbollah are Muslims, so fuck off you inbred, brainless moron.
Muslims still live in medieval times, just killing each other.
LOL ……… oh, i expect it is going to get fantastical, in terms of story line. The Romans were no different.
yep moron
Nope, moron.
Attila, don’t bogart the joint baby!!! :P

Well Russia has gazzilion tons of bombs from Soviet times ready to bomb the shit out of Jewhadist’s and pulverize those terrorists into the size of the microbes!
That pretty well sums up the USA. We won’t help with diplomatic leadership, we won’t send soldiers, we won’t risk media images of dead Americans during an election year, we won’t take in refugees or help them in any way except to smuggle arms in USAID deliveries but if you want to keep killing each other we will sell you all the bullets you need.

This is great! This makes me more happy than photo of dead terrorists ! A normal life is back to Syria, excellent news for all who support Syria!
This is a huge achievement for Syria in the midst of this dreadful conflict that has been fuelled by the US Coalition of Terrors orders from Israel.
Can you imagine the PHOTOS sent to the world of the peace and progress and Assad (that mast not go) is there with Syrian people who are smiling because NORMAL LIFE is BACK to Syria! Fucking fantastic !!! What humiliation for terrorist West !
Humiliation it certainly is. :)
There is always a great danger when a criminal bully is humiliated. They often seek to stab their victims in the back as thieves in the night.
The only logical strategy with such people is to cause their downfall by exposing the crimes of their leaders and henchmen. The courts and the hangman’s rope are then their fate.
Anything goes! Whichever method can kill them earlier I am all for it !!
Which site do you get this from, or is it twitter and all that ?. Bloody good stuff Tim – although I must state that last night you put a couple of posts up that could have been misinterpreted by newbies to the site.
all twitter feeds
Erdogan and his gang have to lie. They thought they were strong with huge popular support, but what kind of support is that, and what kind of relationship do you have with that public, if you have to lie to them this much

SAA must take SARMIN
RUSSIA is going to stand by Syria to the end …
https://twitter.com/MIG29_/status/1234816543961337857
I have never doubted that. Russia will not be humiliated on her promise before it is fulfilled. So peace of advice to Turks:
Do not waist your money in Syria because you will fail at the end !
This is confirmation of Russia’s loyalty to her allies in time of need. Bravo.
Incomprehensible that Russia is defending Syria while letting Turkey attack Syria!
So what is your option? War with Turkey from which only Israel USA &NATO can take adavnetege? Low key conflict is DELIBERATE choice not only by Russia but also by other allays of Syria. All that counts is VICTORY without high price for Syrian population that had already suffered so much.
Only people who understand little on the general situation pedal that Jew agenda “meme” as infinite Mantra ; “Want WAR even more WAR, the WAR that will never finish!
It is effing JEW PROPAGANDA SPEAKING OUT OF YOUR MOUTH and you don’t even realize that !
Try to sober up and relax.
Are you pushing for WW3, Per Jensen?
Russian strategy seems to be preventing the NATO bandits from having the excuse to go to war with Russia and Syria. The Turks are now openly and directly directly supporting the Jihadi’s in plain sight of the world.
The fact that the NATO Turkish military is a de facto Jihadi terrorist organisation, cannot even escape your mind, Per Jensen
´The above, was of course, a response to Florian Geyer.
Well, do you see any dynamics in the Syrian war? It looks like the US, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Israel, etc., will keep the war going and endlessly pump terrorists into Syria. Then the prospect and what they may be waiting for, is that Russia is running out of resources, as it did in Afghanistan. And Syria will thereafter be transformed to another Libya/ Afghanistan. So maybe Russia, as long as it has the resources, should more explicitly try to reverse the course of the war by supporting Syria more wholeheartedly against Turkish aggression in Idlib. And dont forget that the imperialists control the production means, the financial infrastructure, the money. So in principle they can afford to keep pumping terrorists into Syria serving their interests.
If you don’t “see any dynamics” than you need new glasses. Their “pumping of terrorists” doesn’t work any more since they are LOSING !

Lots of luck deploying Turkish Hisar air defense systems in Idlib. There is a slight matter of actually getting them there before they are smashed by allied aircraft. They would make a juicy target for any combatant.
It seems the battle for Idlib is going so well inside the heads of Turkish military brass. It seems a shame to point out the reality.
They are itching for humiliation : -)
Yeah, when the SAA and Co. overruns M4 in short order, I will be looking for Turkish/ head chopper PR to be saying the Syrians have fallen into trap. :P
Nice SAM from the Turk … this will be a good Anti-Radar mission for the Russ Su-35 and SU-30SM …

I have said this few days ago but nobody believed. And not only that he doesn’t want to see Merkel
He has refused Macron also! He needs some privacy while he kicks Erdogan’s arse. So they must abstain this time not to become witnesses of an ugly scene.
I wouldn’t either
