which is about twenty kilometers from the town of Idlib ... I noticed in bottom-right corner of the most recent "edmap":

hmm, does this mean (if the report is telling truth) that the "moderate" rebels in Aleppo are mostly or totally terrorists? That would be a very "funny" development in the naming convention on the part of anti-Assad camp.

Those TU-26M Backfires are very capable aircraft and part of the Russian cream of the crop.
They will be capable of decimating ISIL and other adversary positions and you can bet security around them is going to be very heavy.

I don't know what has been going on up there since then, perhaps not much (as compared to areas to south from there), as only now I saw a picture of Rebels reportedly entering Al-Rai todayI guess yet another important development is going on north-east to
where Rebels are pushing ISIL out:
(I don't follow this area much, but now I watched Rebels' combat video from "Al-Rai", the town most to the east in contested territory shown in the above map)
Nor should they get any mercy.
ISIS has gone about raping, pillaging, decapitating, immersing people in acid, crucifying people, etc., etc.
They need to reap the whirl wind...every bit of it. They people fighting with ISIS need to all be exterminated form the face of the earth.

Russian air-campaign against Aleppo ramps up (if you don't believe it, you should perhaps check the blog by "Cassad" ), and one of the videos from tonight I now saw looked to me as if a thermobaric bomb hit (I would be guessing ОДАБ-500 only but in any case I must be wrong, right?)
