On board were three crew members, including, according to media reports, the crew commander was a 33-year-old captain Roman Pavlov, 29-year-old Oleg Shelamov was a pilot navigator, and 41-year-old captain Alexei Shorohov was onboard technician. Also on board were the two officers of the Russian Center for Reconciliation.
Militants say they managed to capture the pilot of the Mi-8.
Presumably, the responsibility for the deaths of Russian soldiers are fighters organization “Front Fatah al-Sham” (Syria Front conquest). This organization is considered to be the legal successor of the banned Russian terrorist organization “Dzhabhat en-Nusra”, which controlled the specified area.

At the same time we are responsible for ensuring that the opposition to refrain from engaging in such transactions. These are important days in order to determine whether Russia and the Assad regime will adhere (Security Council Resolution) of the UN. What is happening is very concerned about all “, – said Kerry. “We will see in the coming hours, days, can change this dynamic. It is very difficult when the two sides on the ground more willing to fight than to fulfill the obligations in accordance with UN Security Council resolution, “- he added.

THE BATTLE FOR ALEPPO IS HEATING UP AS TERRORISTS HEAVE A LAST BREATH TO LIFT THE SIEGE; TERRORIST LIES IN MEDIA REBUTTED WITH SYRIAN SUPPLIES OF FOOD AND MEDICINE FLOWING INTO ALEPPO

By Canthama, exclusive to SyrPer:
During military offensives it is quite hard to find balance in news reports regarding what is really happening on the ground. The fact is that this latest terrorist offensive to retake strategic routes into Aleppo has a very large media-multi-grouping involved. It has been planned and widely promoted for at least one week. A cautionary warning to our readers is that terrorist supporters are disseminating easy, meaningless gains, as part of their disinformation campaign.
There were several reports of terrorist troops being pulled back from Hama, Homs and Lattakia to mass near Aleppo. It is an estimated 5,000-8,000, but this is completely unconfirmed and nearly impossible to double check; but, due to the initial intensity of the attack, the number 5,000, at a minimum, is very likely.
The main Terrorist’s groups involved so far with a roughly mixed bag of 50/50% Syrians and foreigners, are:
Nusra/Jabhat Fateh Al-Shaam/Alqaeda
Suqoor Al-Jabal
Ahraar Al-Shaam
Faylaq Al-Shaam
Ajnaad Al-Shaam
Liwaa` Al-Haq
Jaysh Al-Sunna
Turkistan Islamic Party (Uighur jihadists from China)
The main target area the terrorists struck yesterday is by far the narrowest part of West Aleppo, with possible flanks to be protected due to the loss of Khaan Toumaan and its environs 2 months ago.
When the attack started, the front line was as long as 20 kms. They clearly aimed for the narrow corridor but took time to expand the flanks for protection during the initial hours. But, then, the attackers constricted into a spearhead movement aiming at Al–Hikma School and the 1070 apartment complex. It was strikingly successful during the day, yesterday, which brought the terrorists to about 3 kms from their besieged terrorist confederates inside Aleppo.
Civilians assisted by burning tyres in West Aleppo to create thick black plumes of smoke, while surface to air fire was reported targeting helicopters supporting Syrian forces.
ISIS, either acting in coordination or opportunistically seizing upon this event, used the Aleppo offensive to target Syrian supply lines in Khanaasser. VBIED was used. For the umpteenth time, the “moderates” and ISIS seemed to be coordinating their military tactics. Is there any doubt they are doing exactly that?
After the paltry initial gains by the terrorists, reinforcements poured into the battle; Liwaa` Al Quds sent 400+ soldiers with 300 more Syrian Army special operations commandos arriving with many more battle-hardened infantrymen.
Air strikes increased markedly and all the terrorist supply lines were bombed intensively. Make no mistake, a very large number of terrorists were killed or wounded during these bombings and, according to reports, continue to perish, based on terrorist website news.
The new front line was held on the disputed 1070 apartments and the counter attack was initiated during the night and early Monday morning. The initial results are that there is a large group of terrorists surrounded at the 1070 apartment complex and they are cut off from the terrorists in Al-Hikma School, which have been beset upon by special forces as I write. There is little info on how this is playing out since it is happening now. Overall, the terrorists did not initiate a 2nd wave attack, maybe due to the intense and constant bombings. Map below shows the most recent situation.
Meanwhile a Russian Mi-8 was shot down with 5 KIA SW of Aleppo; horrible scenes were filmed with the terrorists and families on top of the bodies and pulling them around, reminding one of Mogadishu and Fallujah; There is very little doubt that the RuAF will respond by delivering to the cannibal revelers a taste of a fiery Hell.
Saraaqib: Russian pilot’s body dragged by Islamist savages after his helicopter crashed. There will be Hell to pay for the murder of the Russian crew which was ferrying humanitarian supplies to the civilians of Aleppo. (Photo: Alalam)
The attack SW Aleppo has at Shughaydilla and the nearby Dam failed, but the terrorists managed to advance in the small Al-‘Aamriyya village area. However, that may not be sustainable since their main spearhead attack has bottomed out and cooled down.
This battle is by far undecided. The two sides have committed large amounts of resources. Should 1070 apartment complex be retaken, then the terrorist main gain from the 1st day will be lost and all the rest is pretty much open terrain, easy pray for bombing and artillery. So the battle for the 1070 apartment complex is the big one unless the terrorists open up a new spearhead further south.
The amount of losses on the terrorists side is very high, they will probably have a 2-3 day window to storm the area with the same aggressiveness as day 1. If no further progress is made,then, it will be hard to continue and the offensive will have failed miserably and with it could go down many of the most experienced terrorist-cannibals. This has been a big, if not the biggest gamble, by the terrorists so far in this war.
bbc uk—!!!!!!!!!!—is trying to get across the viewpoint in my opinion in a interview with one Aleppo ‘citizen’ this morning (a name was given by them but no provenance provided)that the rebels are the “good guys’ or at least preferable , in trying to lift the seige by legitimate forces against, guess what, the rebels and those who remain who might be supporting the rebels!
Andrew Mitchell MP talked about UN must step in to establish and control no bombing zones so aid can be brought in. well that won’t stop rebels still attacking SAA.

HMEYMIM, August 2. /TASS/. A convoy has set off to deliver over 18 tons of humanitarian cargo to refugee checkpoints in Aleppo, the Russian Center for reconciliation of warring parties in Syria said on Tuesday.
Individual food rations, food packages, flour, sugar, cereals, canned fish and meat will be delivered to humanitarian centers set up at checkpoints for civilians and militants that laid down arms. The convoy will have to drive over 500 kilometers in dangerous conditions to provide refugees with necessities.
The convoy will also deliver medicaments to Aleppo, the center added.
On July 28 Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said that Russian and Syrian militaries are starting a large-scale humanitarian operation in Aleppo. Four humanitarian corridors will be established there. Civilians will be able to leave Aleppo via three corridors, while one more corridor may be used by militants who wish to lay down arms. The defense minister also ordered to airdrop food, medicaments and necessities to civilians in Aleppo.
MOSCOW, August 1. /TASS/. The ceasefire regime has been generally observed over the day in most of Syria’s provinces, with six violations reported in the provinces of Damascus and Latakia, the Russian center for reconciliation of the warring parties in Syria said in its regular daily news bulletin posted on the Russian defense ministry’s website.

Militants of the Free Syrian Army shelled the settlement of Tauma in the province of Latakia.
“No air strikes were delivered by the Russian air group and the Syrian air force at armed opposition group which have declared cessation of hostilities and informed the Russian or U.S. reconciliation centers about their locations,” the bulletin says
Reconciliation agreements
Reconciliation agreements were signed during the day with representatives of two settlements in the Syrian province of Latakia, the Russian center for reconciliation of the warring parties said in its regular daily news bulletin posted on the Russian defense ministry’s website on Monday.
“The number of settlements joining the reconciliation process has reached 329,” the center said.
Apart from that, talks on joining the regime of cessation of hostilities were continued with field commanders of armed opposition groups in the provinces of Rif Dimashq, Daraa and al-Quneitra. “The number illegal armed groups that declared their commitment to the ceasefire terms remains unchanged – 61,” the center said.
Humanitarian assistance

Groups constituting the international terrorist organizations Jabhat al-Nusra and Islamic State (both outlawed in Russia) continue attempts to break down the regime of cessation of hostilities, the center said. During the day, terrorists conducted fire from multiple missile launcher systems and mortars at the settlement of Handrat in the province of Aleppo and Aleppo’s districts of al-Khalidiyah, Leramon, al-Zahra and the Castello trade center. Terrorists also shelled the settlements of Arbil, Haush al-Fara, Jobar, Huteita al-Jarash in the province of Damascus and the airport in the city of Hama.
A ceasefire regime brokered by Russia and the United States on February 22 officially came into effect in Syria at midnight Damascus time on February 27. This does not cover terrorist groups such as Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra, both outlawed in Russia, and other groups recognized as terrorist by the United Nations Security Council.
Russian reconciliation center
An hour before the ceasefire came into force, the United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution in support cessation of hostilities in Syria. The document was initiated by Russia and the United States and won support from all the 15 members of the United Nations Security Council.
The Russian reconciliation center aims to assist armed groups in Syria in concluding ceasefire agreements, maintain the truce regime, control its observance and organize the delivery of humanitarian cargoes to civilians.
While the Russian government doesn’t seem to be saying much on the helicopter shoot down killing 5 Russians. That is far from the Russian social media.Which is alive with anger and calls for revenge against the terrorists.The videos shown of the terrorists mutilating the bodies of their soldiers (including a female) has rightfully enraged the posts I’ve seen. Its the time (actually pastime) to “drain the swamp” and destroy the terrorists and their Western backers in Syria. No prisoners should even be thought of taking. And they need to be destroyed on the spot.Chechnya showed how you deal with terrorism.You cleanse the terrorists totally out.Deal with those that want peace and eliminate all the rest.Its time to practice what was learned there.There is and can never be a good “excuse” for dealing mildly with the Western support for terrorism.
All attacks on the city of Aleppo, in northern Syria, including air strikes, must be stopped immediately, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said.

“All attacks on the city of Aleppo, in northern Syria, including air strikes, must be stopped immediately, the Turkish Foreign Minister, Mevlut Cavusoglu, said on Monday.
“All attacks on Aleppo, including air strikes, must be discontinued immediately. Turkey’s support for the Syrian people will be continued,” the Anadolu news agency quoted the words of Cavusoglu.
The statement was made during the meeting between Mevlut Cavusoglu and the General Coordinator of the High Negotiations Committee (the main opposition bloc in Syria), Riad Hijab.
Perhaps the Turks have to make some public noises in support of their jihadis, just so that their jihadis don’t turn against their Turkish armourers and financiers.
“…
“The Syrian army troops and Russian air force repelled a massive militant attack today. More than 800 militants were killed, and 14 tanks, 10 infantry fighting vehicles, and more than 60 technical vehicles with mounted weapons were destroyed,” the Chief of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff, Lt. Gen. Sergei Rudskoy said on Monday.
Rudskoy noted that terrorists continued to prevent the local population’s escape from the combat zone in an effort to use them as human shield, and pull reserves from other areas in an effort to undermine the government troops’ resolve.
“Thus, the terrorists executed four people attempting to exit through the humanitarian corridors yesterday in the Eastern part of Aleppo,” he said.
The lieutenant general pointed out that Russian aircraft do their utmost to avoid collateral civilian damage by not targeting populated areas within city limits, unlike the US-led anti-ISIL coalition active near Manbij.

During military offensives it is quite hard to find balance in news reports regarding what is really happening on the ground.

But, then, the attackers constricted into a spearhead movement aiming at Al–Hikma School and the 1070 apartment complex. It was strikingly successful during the day, yesterday, which brought the terrorists to about 3 kms from their besieged terrorist confederates inside Aleppo.
Civilians assisted by burning tyres in West Aleppo to create thick black plumes of smoke, while surface to air fire was reported targeting helicopters supporting Syrian forces.
ISIS, either acting in coordination or opportunistically seizing upon this event, used the Aleppo offensive to target Syrian supply lines in Khanaasser. VBIED was used. For the umpteenth time, the “moderates” and ISIS seemed to be coordinating their military tactics. Is there any doubt they are doing exactly that?
After the paltry initial gains by the terrorists, reinforcements poured into the battle; Liwaa` Al Quds sent 400+ soldiers with 300 more Syrian Army special operations commandos arriving with many more battle-hardened infantrymen.
Air strikes increased markedly and all the terrorist supply lines were bombed intensively. Make no mistake, a very large number of terrorists were killed or wounded during these bombings and, according to reports, continue to perish, based on terrorist website news.
The new front line was held on the disputed 1070 apartments and the counter attack was initiated during the night and early Monday morning. The initial results are that there is a large group of terrorists surrounded at the 1070 apartment complex and they are cut off from the terrorists in Al-Hikma School, which have been beset upon by special forces as I write. There is little info on how this is playing out since it is happening now. Overall, the terrorists did not initiate a 2nd wave attack, maybe due to the intense and constant bombings. Map below shows the most recent situation.

Meanwhile a Russian Mi-8 was shot down with 5 KIA SW of Aleppo; horrible scenes were filmed with the terrorists and families on top of the bodies and pulling them around, reminding one of Mogadishu and Fallujah; There is very little doubt that the RuAF will respond by delivering to the cannibal revelers a taste of a fiery Hell.

The attack SW Aleppo has at Shughaydilla and the nearby Dam failed, but the terrorists managed to advance in the small Al-‘Aamriyya village area. However, that may not be sustainable since their main spearhead attack has bottomed out and cooled down.
This battle is by far undecided. The two sides have committed large amounts of resources. Should 1070 apartment complex be retaken, then the terrorist main gain from the 1st day will be lost and all the rest is pretty much open terrain, easy pray for bombing and artillery. So the battle for the 1070 apartment complex is the big one unless the terrorists open up a new spearhead further south.
The amount of losses on the terrorists side is very high, they will probably have a 2-3 day window to storm the area with the same aggressiveness as day 1. If no further progress is made,then, it will be hard to continue and the offensive will have failed miserably and with it could go down many of the most experienced terrorist-cannibals. This has been a big, if not the biggest gamble, by the terrorists so far in this war.

bbc uk—!!!!!!!!!!—is trying to get across the viewpoint in my opinion in a interview with one Aleppo ‘citizen’ this morning (a name was given by them but no provenance provided)that the rebels are the “good guys’ or at least preferable , in trying to lift the seige by legitimate forces against, guess what, the rebels and those who remain who might be supporting the rebels!
Andrew Mitchell MP talked about UN must step in to establish and control no bombing zones so aid can be brought in. well that won’t stop rebels still attacking SAA.

HMEYMIM, August 2. /TASS/. A convoy has set off to deliver over 18 tons of humanitarian cargo to refugee checkpoints in Aleppo, the Russian Center for reconciliation of warring parties in Syria said on Tuesday.
Individual food rations, food packages, flour, sugar, cereals, canned fish and meat will be delivered to humanitarian centers set up at checkpoints for civilians and militants that laid down arms. The convoy will have to drive over 500 kilometers in dangerous conditions to provide refugees with necessities.
The convoy will also deliver medicaments to Aleppo, the center added.
On July 28 Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said that Russian and Syrian militaries are starting a large-scale humanitarian operation in Aleppo. Four humanitarian corridors will be established there. Civilians will be able to leave Aleppo via three corridors, while one more corridor may be used by militants who wish to lay down arms. The defense minister also ordered to airdrop food, medicaments and necessities to civilians in Aleppo.

Groups constituting the international terrorist organizations Jabhat al-Nusra and Islamic State (both outlawed in Russia) continue attempts to break down the regime of cessation of hostilities, the center said. During the day, terrorists conducted fire from multiple missile launcher systems and mortars at the settlement of Handrat in the province of Aleppo and Aleppo’s districts of al-Khalidiyah, Leramon, al-Zahra and the Castello trade center. Terrorists also shelled the settlements of Arbil, Haush al-Fara, Jobar, Huteita al-Jarash in the province of Damascus and the airport in the city of Hama.
A ceasefire regime brokered by Russia and the United States on February 22 officially came into effect in Syria at midnight Damascus time on February 27. This does not cover terrorist groups such as Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra, both outlawed in Russia, and other groups recognized as terrorist by the United Nations Security Council.
Russian reconciliation center
An hour before the ceasefire came into force, the United Nations Security Council adopted a resolution in support cessation of hostilities in Syria. The document was initiated by Russia and the United States and won support from all the 15 members of the United Nations Security Council.
The Russian reconciliation center aims to assist armed groups in Syria in concluding ceasefire agreements, maintain the truce regime, control its observance and organize the delivery of humanitarian cargoes to civilians.

While the Russian government doesn’t seem to be saying much on the helicopter shoot down killing 5 Russians. That is far from the Russian social media.Which is alive with anger and calls for revenge against the terrorists.The videos shown of the terrorists mutilating the bodies of their soldiers (including a female) has rightfully enraged the posts I’ve seen. Its the time (actually pastime) to “drain the swamp” and destroy the terrorists and their Western backers in Syria. No prisoners should even be thought of taking. And they need to be destroyed on the spot.Chechnya showed how you deal with terrorism.You cleanse the terrorists totally out.Deal with those that want peace and eliminate all the rest.Its time to practice what was learned there.There is and can never be a good “excuse” for dealing mildly with the Western support for terrorism.
The CIA’s top Syria expert admits that he knew nothing about Syria, but he did realize that there were no “moderate rebels” there. He was also an addict and didn’t speak Arabic:

“All attacks on the city of Aleppo, in northern Syria, including air strikes, must be stopped immediately, the Turkish Foreign Minister, Mevlut Cavusoglu, said on Monday.
“All attacks on Aleppo, including air strikes, must be discontinued immediately. Turkey’s support for the Syrian people will be continued,” the Anadolu news agency quoted the words of Cavusoglu.
The statement was made during the meeting between Mevlut Cavusoglu and the General Coordinator of the High Negotiations Committee (the main opposition bloc in Syria), Riad Hijab.
It seems that the resetting of relations between Russia and Turkey has ended before it could properly begin.”

Perhaps the Turks have to make some public noises in support of their jihadis, just so that their jihadis don’t turn against their Turkish armourers and financiers.
From an article today (August 2) on SouthFront https://southfront.org/over-800-terrorists-killed-by-syrian-army-russian-bombers-in-aleppo/:
“…
“The Syrian army troops and Russian air force repelled a massive militant attack today. More than 800 militants were killed, and 14 tanks, 10 infantry fighting vehicles, and more than 60 technical vehicles with mounted weapons were destroyed,” the Chief of the Main Operational Directorate of the General Staff, Lt. Gen. Sergei Rudskoy said on Monday.
Rudskoy noted that terrorists continued to prevent the local population’s escape from the combat zone in an effort to use them as human shield, and pull reserves from other areas in an effort to undermine the government troops’ resolve.
“Thus, the terrorists executed four people attempting to exit through the humanitarian corridors yesterday in the Eastern part of Aleppo,” he said.
The lieutenant general pointed out that Russian aircraft do their utmost to avoid collateral civilian damage by not targeting populated areas within city limits, unlike the US-led anti-ISIL coalition active near Manbij.
