Late on May 21, Russian air defense systems, allegedly a Pantsir-S short to medium range system, launched at least four missiles at “unidentified” targets over the Khmeimim air base in Syria, according to local sources.
Later, the Russian military revealed that one unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) had been shot down. No damage or casualties occurred as a result of the incident.
A similar incident took place on April 24 when Russian forces shot down at least two UAVs armed with projectiles.
The repeated UAV attacks on Russian facilities in Syria are another sign of the changing situation in the country. After a de-facto military defeat of militants in central Syria, they have shifted their activity to sabotage operations, which may allow them to get more public attention from the media and support from their foreign sponsors.
Syrian experts also believe that the possibility of terrorist attacks in the liberated areas is growing.
On May 21, the Syrian Defense Ministry officially announced that government forces had fully liberated southern Damascus from ISIS thus securing the entire countryside of the country’s capital. According to an official version, there was no deal with ISIS. However, photos and videos from the ground confirm that a group of terrorists and their relatives was indeed allowed to evacuate from the besieged area.
Reports also appeared that General Suheil ‘the Tiger’ al-Hassan, a commander of the elite Tiger Forces, has moved to southern Syria in order to prepare and oversee the expected operation against militants in the province of Daraa. However, this still has to be confirmed.
Depots with weapons produced in NATO member-states and production facilities for explosives have been found by the Russian Center for Syrian reconciliation and government forces in the settlement of Zaafarana in the province of Homs.
“We can see here a large number of gas masks, weapons produced abroad, for example, TOW-2 anti-tank guided missiles. The facilities are very well-equipped,” the center’s representative Andrey Nekipelov said on May 21 commenting on the discovered facility, which had belonged to Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra, the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda).
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi announced that his country is going to keep forces in Syria at the request of the Syrian government and nobody can force Teheran to do anything because it “has its own independent policies”.
“Those who entered Syria without the permission of the Syrian government are the ones that must leave the country,” Qasemi noted.
Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo threatened Iran with “the strongest sanctions in history” if Tehran does not comply with the initial list of 12 demands, which includes the withdrawal from Syria, disarming Iranian-backed militias in Iraq, halting support to Hezbollah and ending its missile program. In other words, Pompeo demanded from Iran to stop prusuing an independent policy in the region. Tensions between the US and Iran are increasing.
Iran can concede and comply to pompous US Pompeo as soon as the white house shuts down the Yellowstone geysers and seal up the grand canyion.
The US has arrived in the post insane era and entered the infantile era where it only talks with itself, because nobody listens anymore outside it’s realm. It would be completly pointless anyway because it’s incomprehensible garbage anyway.
Iraq has voted for the US go home faction. The US stands alone with Israhell in the whole ME
.
What I find strange regarding the shotdown UAVs, it will be very easy to identify which country constructed them, why is it not mentioned ?
A standard late-age state in the life cycle of empires. King Louis XXVI could tell you about it, if he still had his head.
At some point, the court intriques about who has power become more important than the real world outside the palace. Simultaneously, the empire has grown so arrogant about a long period without being challenged that it no longer has any real appreciation for risks that the real world outside the palace might pose.

Exactly what israel ordered. The pindo zionazi-gay “conservative” talk radio freakshow has been in ecstasy with the new war against Iran. The trump regime has been israel’s most fanaticly loyal colonial regime in the u.s. yet.

Terminology; since they are not all pindos, and gay is such a gray ‘flight or fancy’ area, “I am that way today, but who knows what I might aspire to be tomorrow” type term……………………would ‘pedozionazi’ not be more appropiate?
Jordan’s Role in Southern Syria.
” Jordan has sided with Russia to get the southern Syria back to normal, it desperately needs it to be back to normal, Jordanian trade is heavily affected in the past 7 years with Lebanon and Syria, and its cost of transportation to Turkey has been up to the roof by using in the past year the route north through Iraq then eastern Turkey. Jordan needs the M5 free to their goods could travel up thru Syria to Turkey or Lebanon.
So Jordan will play the two sides during this offensive, it will play hard ball to force the “moderats” to separate from al Qaeda and ISIS, and will also treat the terrorists in Jordanian hospitals.
There is little to no chance for the TFs to move to Homs desert, this is not top priority and it can be done by other forces, not the elite ones that should be focusing on the key strategic targets, and now the nbr 1 is to liberate M5 so trade is normalized. TFs are moving to Daraa and with the support of RGs and other elite groups it will smash NATO backed terrorists, it will be a bloody battle for the Nasib border crossing and to liberate Daraa city but one that is needed.” (Canthama)
