And what is the Russian view of the events in Syria, shared by Russian telegram accounts: "The catastrophe - before our eyes, one might say, is alive. Ancient Damascus fell, surrendered without a fight, not resisting the wave of gangs, pro-Turkish, pro-Israeli, any pro-.
The avalanche spread throughout Syria, quickly occupying cities and villages, military bases, agricultural and industrial facilities.
The fall of Aleppo was the last warning. It was late. The city was surrendered at lightning speed, practically without resistance. In the hands of the surprised "barmalei" are mountains of used equipment, used weapons.
Assad has no strength left. Expeditions to the allies have led nowhere:🇷🇺was pinned down by the SOV, its contingent in the Syrian Arab Republic bombed the Barmalei columns, but this did not stop the flow. The commander of the group in the SAR was removed, but that's another story
There was hope in Iran, IRGC and Hezbollah – Assad’s closest allies. A key ally surrendered Syria. That’s a fact. Damascus, with the first city wall built after the flood, was doomed. The Assad era is over. Hama, Palmyra and Homs were surrendered in just a few hours.
Hope was fading before our eyes. States have never fallen apart so quickly in history!
The main factor in the tragedy is the SAA, the National Guard DID NOT PROVIDE SERIOUS RESISTANCE, surrendering the lines without a fight. Conclusion: this is a classic hybrid warfare operation
The SAR state is rotten and was handed over to Salafi groups on a silver platter. Everything was calculated, bribed, played according to notes.
Factor No. 2: “Nobody wanted to die.” There were many warning signs: a change in attitude towards Russia, open whispers about the Alawite clan.
After clearing most of the SAR of illegal armed groups with the help of the Russians, industry, agriculture and jobs should appear. All in vain. They did not pull it out. It looks like they did not intend to.
Corruption, greed, incompetence, corruption of officials at the local level and at the higher levels are the nails in the coffin of the statehood of the SAR. There is no one who could save Syria.
After the liquidation of the PMC Wagner, whose attack aircraft took Palmyra for an encore, keeping everyone in suspense, from Barmalei with the Kurds to the Americans, there is no longer a serious fighting force in this land of the Apocalypse.
Syria in darkness. Before us analysis and cunning, like endless streams of refugees, plundering what and who else can be robbed, trampling Christian and Muslim temples.
In these conditions, the servants of the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus must not forget to spread a clean carpet on the steps of the minaret every day, on which, according to legend, Jesus will descend to earth... In Syria, only the chaos of the end times lies ahead of us.
All hope lies in the Creator!"
I apologize if there were any errors in the translation, but I have little understanding of Syrian reality.

Recently, using information from Colonel Mashovets, I tried to estimate the pace of production and modernization, and how long the Russians will be able to use the tanks, IFVs and artillery’s stored in warehouses. In this thread, I will try to perform the same analysis for MLRS.
Again, I am not focusing on the numbers themselves, but on the trend of whether the Russians are able to replenish their losses on an ongoing basis.
In the spring, there were about 900 MLRS systems in the five groups of the Russian army ("Center", "Wostok", "North", "Zapad" and "South"). I am attaching the relevant thread.

Voenkor Kotenok is one of the Russian milbloggers. I sometimes quote him, although his channel is very nationalistic and mostly repeats the official Kremlin narrative.
Therefore, the post I would like to quote really arouses surprise and hope that finally in Russia they are beginning to notice the real situation of their homeland: "Our assessment of the military situation in the zone of the Northern Military District by the public and
the media is absolutely inadequate. Unfortunately, the tone of distorting the information background, and often disinformation, was imposed even before the start of the special operation by the official security forces in the form of several talking heads with general stars,
#Wuhledar I have pointed out several times that Army Group "Vostok" formed approximately 10,000 shock group near Staromayorske. After several reconnaissance battles, yesterday they decided to launch offensives supported by armored equipment towards Velyka Novosilka,
Shakhtarske and the western part of the Berestove Gorge. Most of the attacks were defeated, but north of Złota Niwa they managed to occupy approximately 12 km2 of terrain (Petrenko's maps)
The situation was very serious for the AFU, because the Russians managed to break through the 2022 defense line, but were then rejected. Why did the Russians decide to launch such an attack? Well, Bogoyavlenka, located north of Wuhledar, is located in a valley,
Yesterday, a video appeared in which residents of the Far East (probably citizens of the DPRK) were dressing in Russian uniforms. Earlier, Ukrainians, such as Kirill Budanov, reported Koreans in Russian uniforms.
Of course, this may be a Russian PSYOPS, as various Russian telegram accounts are trying to emphasize, which is supposed to cause fear in the West and force Ukraine and Western countries to agree to Russian conditions.
#Zaporizhzhia a few days ago there was a small Russian offensive action north of occupied Vasylivka, about 40 km from the city of Zaporizhzhia. Specifically, it is the villages of Kamianske and Plavni.
Of course, Russian telegram channels reported a great success, and the channel "Alan Parker Returns" even announced the creation of a bridgehead on the right bank of the Dnieper (!!!!!) and ordered the city of Zaporizhzhia to prepare...
The whole situation was quickly clarified, so I was surprised to read today's entry by milblogger "Voenkor Kotenok", in which he still believes that Kamianske is controlled by the Russians. So what happened on October 6 of this year?
