Nippelspanner,

it seems that in past weeks indeed the lion's share of civilian casualties comes from intensified Russian attacks. The Russian bombers kick in the doors for the Syrian ground troops. Assad currently is on the offensive. Moscow wants to collect some favourable facts on the ground before any possible negotiations get underway - possibly.

Russia is good in blowing stuff up without discrimination. See Chechnya. The grim truth is: brute force works.

One can be thankful that they have no major ground forces there, implementing Russian artillery doctrine.
