Wasn’t around 10.000 ISIL terrorists only around Palmyra? And considering thousands of them also around Deir Erzor, that would mean around 3/4 of ISIL only around those two towns. This practically mean that defeat of ISIL in Palmyra will crash ISIL military might as they will lost half of their forces and they also lost thousands of terrorists in their failed offensives in Deir Erzor. This is good as after Palmyra defeat liberation of Syria and Iraq will go quite quickly as majority of terrorists will be already dead. But I think ISIL have far more than 25000 terrorists to defend all those battlefields and fight heavily in Palmyra and Deir Erzor and in Iraq as well.
IS women breed about 50,000 warriors annually. Humans are not very prolific breeders. Humans have a K selection strategy when it comes to reproduction. If IS sends young boys to fight on the battlefield, it won’t be very effective and they’ll all get killed fast.
Do they have the space for that? F-15E is a big plane.
Special forces directing helicopter strikes. Guy too tall to be Syrian.

This sounds like wishful thinking, if not pure fantasy.
Even if we go back to the MiG-21, around 11,500 were built in 25 years – an average of less than 500 a year.
The production rates for more modern types are much smaller.
Around 1,600 MiG-29 have been built in 35 years – an average of around 50 a year.
Around 800 Su-27 have been built in 33 years – an average of around 25 a year.
Not necessarily. Tu-95 is a propeller plane. Only a few hundred were ever built. In war time, thousands of Tu-95 can be built within a year, just like in WW2 when thousands of propeller planes were built within a year.
Anyone know if Syria is getting its MiG-29M2 and Yak-130 planes it paid before 2011?
Turkey and Saudi Arabia cannot make engines. You can’t fight a war without engines. Russia can build thousands of warplanes within a year in war time. Turkey and Saudi Arabia cannot build a single warplane in war time. Whatever planes they have won’t last a month in war. They know that. So they will never invade Syria and start a war with Russia.
