very interesting from Mossad Debka file so take this with skepticism and care:
Russian robots on the ground for four-army assault to retake Aleppo
Argo Mobility Platform combat robot
Russian, Syrian, Iranian and Hizballah troops were taking up positions Monday, Jan. 18, for a massive offensive to retake Aleppo, Syria’s second city. The rebel militias occupying different parts of the city have repulsed all previous assaults.
A victory in Aleppo (prewar population: 1 million) is expected in Moscow, Tehran and Damascus to reverse the tide of the war and force the Syrian rebels to accept that their insurgency is at an end and their only remaining option is to join the peace process initiated by Russia on Syria’s future.
Russian military intervention since late August has lifted the Syrian army out of its hopeless state and imbued its officers with fresh vigor and the troops with high morale. Bashad Assad’s army is not the same largely defeated one of five months ago. Russian air strikes have restored its commander’s confidence in their ability to win. Cutting-edge weapons are reaching combat units with Russian military advisers on hand to teach the Syrian army how to use them, along with exposure to advanced methods of warfare that have been developed by a world-class military.
debkafile’s military sources add that the operational standards of Hizballah and the pro-Iranian Shiite militias fighting alongside the Syrian army have likewise been enhanced by their exposure to Russian tactics.
Those tactics have produced a substantial drop in Hizballah, Iranian and Syrian casualties in battle, contrary to reports of high casualties claimed in the Western mainstream press,
Robots, novel replacements for boots on the ground, recently made their debut appearance in the Syrian arena, our military sources have revealed. They are cast in a star role in the offensive for the recovery of Aleppo.
Heralding a revolution in modern warfare, the Russians are fielding two kinds of robots – the Platform-M combat robot and the Argo Mobility Platform, both heavily armored and capable of functioning day or night in a variety of battlefield conditions. Platform-M gathers intelligence, uncovers fixed and moving targets and destroys them. It also provides firepower support for forces on the move and secures military installations or routes traveled by the army. Platform-M is armed with semiautomatic or automatic control firing systems.for destroying enemy targets But extra fire power can be mounted on the system as required.
The Argo is designed for rough-country operations, especially on mountainous or rocky terrain. In recent battles, Syrian rebels were startled to find themselves under sudden heavy fire from the unmanned Russian robots.
Russian General Staff Chief Valery Gerasimov recently spoke of a plan to “completely automate the battle in Syria.” He added, “Perhaps soon we will witness robotic groups independently conducting warfare.” Our military sources comment that this vision is overly futuristic. No totally robotic battlefield exists anywhere in the world today outside sci-fi cinema.
Rom fortruss several weeks ago

For the first time in the world, an attack on a fortified area of militants was conducted by battle robots. In the province of Latakia, army units of the Syrian army, with the support of Russian specialists and Russian combat robots, took the strategic tower of “Syriatel”, 754m in height.
maybe, but the official line from ZATO is they want more assets in there, not fewer.
big pow-wow ministers’ meeting tomorrow in Paris.
I like that word “allegedly” inserted in the sentence here.
US Defense Secretary Ash Carter did not mention Ottawa last week in a speech in Kentucky when he announced plans for holding talks with defense ministers from countries that are playing a significant role in the so-called US-led coalition that is allegedly targeting positions of Daesh in Iraq and Syria.
The meeting comes as Washington has urged coalition members to contribute more to the anti-Daesh fight in Iraq and Syria after the deadly terrorist attack in Paris in November claimed by Daesh.

Totally depends on terrain what weapon one uses.
Read what Syria is saying about their “secret weapon” that helped liberate Salma.
Not anything new or high-tech at all!
As the Syrian Army battles militant groups, it relies partly on the strength of Russian airstrikes. But to recapture cities littered with narrow alleys and debris-ridden streets, it also relies on a secret weapon: motorbikes.
Last week, the Syrian Army retook the town of Salma. Located in northeastern Latakia, roughly 15 miles from the Turkish border, the city became a terrorist stronghold in 2012, a terrorist bastion in a province otherwise held by the Syrian government.

Thanks. Your report is heartening.
Humanitarian aid to the terrorists? How disgusting and hypocritical!
A small suggestion relative to the information war. Don’t call terrorists militants. It gives a misleading idea to those already mislead in their head.
I know it’s not in the business plan of SF but we need a Central Front with the skills of a South Front to hammer on the central bank heads for their traitorous shenanigans. If I could I’d take a sheleighly and do like Jesus in the Temple of Finance.
I’m no Jesus or Sergei Glazyev or Saker but if I were I’d add to the vineyard masthead: “Nationalize the National Bank and save your own sovereign assets.”
I thought the headline would mean the story is about the latest pronouncement from that Mafiosi & Mufti Maximus there. Not so.
Crime boss faces new probe over bloodbath threats against academics
http://www.todayszaman.com/national_crime-boss-faces-new-probe-over-bloodbath-threats-against-academics_410040.html
Mafia boss Sedat Peker is facing another investigation for threatening remarks he made to academics who signed a declaration calling for an end to violence in Turkey’s Southeast, saying he would bathe in their blood.
In a statement published on his website last week, Peker, a notorious figure who has been convicted of charges of organized crime, vowed that the blood of the academics who signed a statement calling on the government to end ongoing curfews and violence in the country’s Southeast will be spilled.
