🇷🇺🇸🇾🇺🇦🏴 Another group from the "Idlib terrarium" has made itself known again: the terrorist group Katibat al-Tawhid wal-Jihad (KTJ), which operates under the leadership of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, has published footage of its activities in Syria.
The main feature of the video was that the militants began using drones to attack government forces, and the narrator particularly noted the influence of Ukrainian formations on the new tactic of using drones in combat.
According to a member of KTJ (an Uzbek, judging by the language), drones have become an effective means that are much cheaper than missiles or other weapons, but with which they can strike concentrations of people, equipment and firing points, as shown in the published footage.
🔻Immediately, the news comes to mind about how Ukrainian GUR units trained militants in Idlib in the assembly, modernization and use of drones against the Russian Armed Forces and the SAA. Before this information appeared, terrorists were not noted for the methodical use of these technologies.
There were isolated incidents, but not so often. The Uzbek KTJ terrorist did not directly say who trained them, but the facts in the form of hints about the "success of the AFU in this direction" speak for themselves.
All this once again demonstrates the impact of the special operation on the course of armed conflicts. Interest in drone technologies has increased due to the cheapness of materials and high capabilities for their use, which is expressed not only in Syria, but also in other regions, such as Africa or Myanmar.

🇸🇾🏴 Based on the footage of the captured vehicle with specialized equipment and small arms, it is unfortunately most likely that the deceased was a member of the Russian Armed Forces.

❗️🇸🇾🇹🇷 Militant Offensive in Western Aleppo, Syria: Further Collapse of Defense
As of 8:00 PM on November 27, 2024
The offensive by a conglomerate of Syrian groups in the west of Aleppo Province continues: unfortunately, Russian forces have been drawn into another round of the intra-Syrian conflict.
📍 A group of Russian specialists working near the front line was surrounded during the collapse of the front line, and one of them was killed. The rest were reportedly evacuated in time (a separate bow to the quickly responding evacuation team). The information circulating on the internet about the capture of some "three Russian officers" is not confirmed at this stage.
▪️Over almost 10 hours of the offensive, the militants have managed to advance by 8-9 km from the western outskirts of Aleppo at different sections. The offensive at this stage is following the best traditions of the "raid" by Ukrainian formations in the Kharkiv Region in 2022: maximum advancement along the main road directions without consolidating in populated areas in an attempt to capture as much loot as possible and mark new borders.
▪️Among the advancing groups, not only terrorists from "Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham" are noted: the participation of Uyghur militants from the "Islamic Party of Turkestan", who traditionally operated much further west (in the north of Latakia), Uzbek militants, the bulk of whom operated on the border with Hama Province, as well as parts of other groups, has been confirmed.
All this indicates a planned redeployment of a significant number of combat-ready units, which are also involved in the "psychological" attack on the Syrians: foreign militants have always been perceived as the "most dangerous" by the rather timid Syrians.
▪️Apparently, in some directions, the Syrian army with allies managed to stop the advance of the militants: footage of destroyed enemy armored vehicles is being published online. The terrorists failed to develop the advance north of Ash-Sheikh Aqil and so far have not been able to break through the defense near Kafr Naha and east of Anjara.
📌 In the information space of Syria, as before during any escalations, there is almost complete denial of the loss of settlements and calls to "not believe enemy propaganda." Such "lulling" words have long since ceased to work: the information resources of the militants are taking over with mass involvement of bloggers and propagandists who try to write stand-ups and record short videos literally from every piece of land, savoring the success in every way.
🔻 The transfer of fire brigades to the section - the same 25th Division (former "Tiger Forces") of Suheil al-Hassan - is not yet visible, so most likely the militants will be able to further expand the breakthrough area, taking advantage of the total unpreparedness of the Syrian Arab Army for defense.
Strikes by the Air Force of Syria and the Russian Aerospace Forces are currently clearly insufficient in scale to stop the breakthrough of the militants to the west of Aleppo.

🇸🇾🏴 Over the past two and a half years, there have been so many crossovers between the Idlib terrorists from Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, who are now advancing in western Aleppo, and the "valuable" Ukrainian specialists, that the Syrian militants seem to have found their own idols.
Judge for yourself: in the video, the HTS terrorists are wearing armbands of two colors 🔵🟡.
Of course, this is nothing more than a coincidence (no). Well, we just have to wait for Budanov and the GUR to take responsibility for the hostilities in northern Syria.

🇷🇺🇸🇾 As Yevgeny Norin correctly noted, the current events in Syria are the best illustration of what would have awaited the DPR and LPR if the "Minsk Agreements" had continued. It's hard to find a more vivid example in this situation.
The examples of frozen conflicts in recent years teach that such "eternal peace" is illusory. In the best case, the problem still has to be solved, but from a less advantageous position and at much greater cost. In the worst case, what happened in Aleppo occurs.
Therefore, we repeat again: this is a very difficult lesson that everyone who sincerely believes that an agreement with the West or anyone else in the Minsk-3 format can be possible needs to learn.

🇷🇺🇸🇾 Как совершенно верно заметил Евгений Норин, нынешние события в Сирии — лучшая иллюстрация того, что ждало бы ДНР и ЛНР в случае продолжения «Минских соглашений». Более наглядного примера в данной ситуации и не придумаешь.

❗️🇷🇺🇸🇾 Crisis in Syria (Syrian desert and border areas): third day of aid convoys arriving in Aleppo
Situation as of the end of December 1, 2024
In the desert at the junction of the Homs, Hama and Deir ez-Zor provinces, the battle of fakes, rumors and hearsay for primacy in the information agenda continues.
▪️On the very first day, there were reports of the mobilization of the "Free Syrian Army" (ex-"Jaysh Maghawir al-Thawra") forces, trained at the US base in At-Tanf, and their alleged advance either towards Palmyra, Tifor or even Damascus.
The group's strength is a few hundred people, and theoretically they could have infiltrated through the desert - especially given the withdrawal of troops. But so far, there is no objective evidence of this in the public domain.
▪️From Deir ez-Zor, the Bakkarah tribe loyal to Bashar Assad allegedly set out on the first day and went almost in full force to Aleppo. Similarly, parts of the 4th division of Maher Assad allegedly moved out from Deir ez-Zor, although it seems they were not even there.
▪️This did not prevent the militants (both ISIS and HTS with the SNA) from claiming that the convoys heading to aid Assad had already been bombed by the militants. Some wrote about ISIS, others about the "Free Syrian Army" from Et-Tanf. As a result, no one went anywhere and no one killed anyone.
📍But real reinforcements set out on the third day.
Footage appeared in Sout showing Iraqi "Al-Hashd al-Shaabi" detachments crossing the border with Syria at the official border crossing of Al-Bu Kamal from the Iraqi Al-Qaim. Given that the Iranian military base named after Imam Ali is quite close to Al-Bu Kamal, and further west there is a road leading directly to Palmyra from the south, it is logical to assume that the reinforcements split into several columns, and the footage captured only one of them.
📌The column was immediately "destroyed" in the media, with claims of an attack by the Americans. In fact, the explosions were attributed to the work of the Syrian military against roaming militants in the desert (which once again confirms the activity of terrorists).
As we have already written, the appearance of the Iranian "Al-Hashd al-Shaabi" detachments should not be recorded as an unambiguous Iranian move, since the Al-Hashd al-Shaabi certainly do not consider themselves to be openly pro-Iranian groups. In this case, it is primarily about assistance from Iraq.

📎🇸🇾 It appears that another dramatic chapter in Syria's recent history is coming to an end in Aleppo Province. The Kurdish enclave in Tell Rifaat and Ash-Sheikh Maksoud is being evacuated eastward after reaching agreements with HTS and SNA militants.
As a result, there are no longer any zones in Aleppo controlled by non-militants. Most of the province has been almost completely seized by armed groups.
In this context, it is interesting that those responsible for the media of pro-Turkish militants remember the successful cases from 2015-2020 well. Just as with the evacuation of the "moderate opposition" from Daraa and other parts of Syria, green buses were used to transport the Kurds.
The militants' propagandists did not miss the opportunity to boast about this fact, clearly keeping in mind the events of past years.
🔻At the same time, the departure of the Kurds was expected given their encirclement. But the Syrian Democratic Forces are highly likely preparing for a new confrontation, as the pro-Turkish militants with Turkey's backing have no intention of stopping.
Moreover, as practice shows, it is extremely foolish to conclude peace agreements with those who will never abide by them. Turkish drones actively struck areas under SDF control throughout the militants' operation.

🇮🇷🇸🇾🏴 On the Arrival of Seyyed Javad Ghaffari in Syria
🔻So, after several days of rumors and various news, the information about the arrival of Iranian General Seyyed Javad Ghaffari has been confirmed, and this is indeed good news for the Syrian leadership.
▪️Seyyed Javad actively participated in the fight against ISIS and was the right-hand man of the late General Qassem Soleimani, who was killed by the Americans. After his death, it was he who was responsible for the operations of the "axis of resistance" in Syria and Iraq.
▪️He is a complex person (and some of our team had the opportunity to meet him personally), who spoke out against any agreements with terrorists and talked about the need to completely destroy extremist groups, including in Idlib.
▪️Due to his position in the administration of Bashar Assad and in Hezbollah, who sought negotiations, he was asked to be removed from operations in Syria, which is why he returned to Iran. But now, when the situation has reached a critical point, he has been brought back to provide assistance.
❗️Why do we consider this good news for Syria? He is a representative of the old guard of the IRGC, and he really knows his business. It's no coincidence that the pro-Turkish channels call him the "butcher of Aleppo", who caused them many problems in past years.
Given how much Hezbollah has weakened and how many Iranian generals have been lost in Israeli air strikes, his arrival will provide assistance to the Syrian leadership. And how much, we will see very soon.
