Then BBC makes fine propaganda for RuASF, as it overstates our sortie generation (which is around 90/day for the air base and that is on the good days). With that sortie generation, an average of 2 FAB250 equivalent weapons used per sortie (which appears to be the case) our air campaighn effort is the same as 10min fire prep by an 152mm arty divizion. The divizion we have in Syria (amongst other things).
But was it really such an effort?
It is, if the "non islamist opposition" could negotiate as a single body without pre requisites for the negotiations. This was not possible untill recently.
