Russia and Iran are currently negotiating to redeploy Russian bombers to the Iran’s Hamadan airbase for resuming their counter terrorism missions in Syria.
Russian planes first flew to the Iranian airstrip in August but now both countries are allegedly planning to adjust the base for the possible deployment, the Sputnik News reported Saturday.
It will take a week because Antonov An-124 Ruslan and Ilyushin Il-76 strategic airlifters will have to make dozens of flights to prepare Hamadan to host Russian bombers, Sukhoi Su-34s and Tupolev Tu-22M3s, an officials said.
Russia will apparently have to deploy land-based power-driven aircraft beacons, radio communications sets, fuel servicing trucks, electrical ground power units, avionics control and preflight systems and other land-based equipment.
"The major step is to deploy enough air-launched weapons and loaders needed to load airborne weapons aboard the planes," the official noted. There is no need to construct special hangars for the planes since weather conditions at the base are good. If need be, these facilities could be erected in one to two weeks.
Russian planes carried out several counterterrorism missions in Syria from Hamadan in mid-August. The deployment lasted approximately a week and was the first of its kind in Iran's modern history.
"Any means, including the redeployment of the Russian Aerospace Forces to Hamadan, are good for counterterrorism." Igor Zotov, a member of the Russian State Duma's Defense Committee said.
"If Russia returns to the Iranian base, I think it will be for the best.

All I stated was Israel were hand in glove with Saudi to take out Assad regime , Assad did not do any harm to either of these two countries but was a victim of Shia-Sunni Conflict and Israel is clearly supporting the Sunni Ummah for its own reason.
Israel Air Force would go deep inside Syrian airforce bomb Syrian Arms Depot and Critical Infrastructure of SAA and would simply call as Israel proactive action to prevent these arms falling into arms of Hezbollah. Ofcourse the real intention was to handicap the SAA fight against Saudi supported IS.
Put it simply Israel Airforce was Team B of Saudi because it could just bomb SAA with impunity and get away by saying it was against Hezbollah , when Syrian Airforce tried to stop , its fighter jets were either downed by Israel Airforce or its Patriot Batteries inside Syrias own territory !
It was blatant aggression by Israel Airforce but they just got away because hey their were Israel and fighting against terrorism
Come Russian Intervention in Syria all these Bombing with Impunity against SAA dissapeared overnight , Suddenly it seems Assad is not providing arms to Hezb or what ever Israel claimed and its policy changed over night.
Any one can draw their own conclusion

Russian intervention has nothing/zero/zilch to do with Israel`s hesitation in bombing Syia if there is any at all. In fact there is coordination between Israeli and Russian air forces in ensuring the Hezbollah doesnt acquire arms that could damage Israel.
Israel has continued to bomb Syria if and when it has deemed necessary.
Also, to say that Israel has supported ISIS is also stretching it too far. It has no dog in this fight and would be happy to see Shia Sunni fight go on forever rather than seeing one side win. So no logic in supporting one murderous horde against the other.

Despite Russian Warplanes in the Sky, Israel Keeps Bombing Syria

And since the Russian build-up in Syria, Israel has carried out perhaps four substantial air strikes. Three strikes were in the Qalamoun region which spans across Syria’s porous frontier with Lebanon.

why are the Syrian T-90s fighting with open hatch ?

seems they do not learn from past and keep making expensive mistakes.
Past clips have shown how T-90 with open hatch in aleppo was targeted by TOW and it resulted in damage to tank injuries to tank operator.

Aleppo could be 'bombed into smithereens', warns John Kerry
US secretary of state says diplomatic situation in Syria is a ‘toxic cocktail’ as he revealed moves to persuade Moscow to stop bombing

Monday 31 October 2016 Aleppo Syria's second city, is at risk of being “bombed into smithereens” by Russia unless a fresh ceasefire can be agreed with Vladimir Putin, the US secretary of state, John Kerry, has said.

But Kerry said he still believed a ceasefire could be agreed, and revealed proposals were still going back and forth between Moscow and the US.
Russia denied membership of UN human rights council

Speaking in London on Monday, he said the diplomatic process was delicate and “very dangerous” and its success or failure would come down to Moscow’s true priorities.

“We will see whether Russia has a greater desire to bomb Aleppo into smithereens”, claiming they are hitting terrorists, rather than the accept the reality that “there is an opposition there prepared to live by the ceasefire,” he told the Chatham House thinktank.

“This will determine to some degree where we go in Syria in the longer term.”

A ceasefire could be agreed, he said, if Russia halted its bombing campaign long enough to allow countries backing the legitimate Syrian opposition to persuade those forces in Aleppo to separate themselves from Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, the al-Qaida-linked group formerly known as the Nusra front.

Kerry made his remarks as Russia sent naval reinforcements to the Mediterranean that western observers believe could be used for a fresh offensive on Aleppo.

As opposition forces attempted to break the siege of rebel-held eastern Aleppo with an assault heavily criticised by the United Nations, the Syrian government claimed that as many as 84 people had been killed and 280 wounded by opposition shelling over the past three days.

Russia claims it has not bombed the city for a fortnight, but military clashes have persisted throughout Aleppo. Moscow has said it will respond with all available means if necessary.

Kerry said he would work right up to the end of Barack Obama’s presidency to try to find a political solution to the Syrian problem, which he described as a contorted web.

He implied he did not believe that a perceived power vacuum in Washington in the weeks after the 8 November presidential election would give Russia a chance to capture eastern Aleppo, and so deliver a hammer blow to the Syrian opposition.

Kerry was unusually frank in admitting western diplomats had been unable to persuade the legitimate opposition not to fight alongside Jabhat Fateh al-Sham. If the militant group decided to attack the regime during a ceasefire, he said, “then what happens is the regular opposition gets swept up with them … and then all of a sudden your ceasefire starts to shred”.

Aleppo ceasefire at risk after Russia says all rebels can be eliminated

Bashar al-Assad, he said, also played a major role in the breakdown of ceasefires by bombing legitimate opposition forces while claiming to go after Jabhat Fateh al-Sham and Islamic State (Isis). “So the opposition then get angry and say he is not showing good faith, because he is not, and it spirals downwards,” Kerry said.

Syria, he argued, was “a whole bunch of wars taking place at once in the same place”. It was “Kurd v Kurd, Kurd v Turkey, Iran and Saudi; you have got Turkey, Daesh [Isis], Persian Shia versus Arab Sunni, Sunni v Shia, a lot of people against Assad, you have the challenge of Shia Iraqi militia coming into Syria and then, of course, you have Hezbollah-supporting Assad. So this is is about as toxic a diplomatic cocktail I can think of.”
