Rebels advance in Aleppo due to the weakening of Russian Air Forces, which were sent to Ukraine - Media.


Syrian rebels are successfully attacking the city of Aleppo, taking advantage of the reduced presence of Russian forces in the region. Photos from the Khmeimim airbase indicate a decrease in Russian presence compared to last year. HTS has captured significant territories in northern Syria, despite occasional strikes from Russia. The operation aims to restore the borders of the de-escalation zone in Idlib, which were previously agreed upon. Experts note a high level of organization in the offensive, which may indicate support from Turkish military.
The Syrian army, which has spent more Time on economic activities than military training in recent years, has faced difficulties in battles against rebels. Russian Air Forces are forced to rely on limited intelligence from the Syrian government to identify targets.
