In general, high-intensity combat operations to continues in Syria, with gradually increase of the role of foreign armed forces deployed to support the various participants in the war.

After a month of stubborn ferocious fighting, the Syrian Army is still on the offensive, which, despite of slowing down in some areas, still has a good chance of achieving significant success. In this regard, the Syrian army continues to to be underestimated – after 4 years of war their attacks are absolute heroism. On the other hand, we underestimate the terrorists that proved to be enemy in active clashes with the Syria’s regular army, and is much more superior in organization and quality over the pro-Western rebel forces, which have become the main victims over the past month after suffering some significant defeats from Assad and ISIS.
However, the pattern of the war will be changing, the Russian and American coalitions now increasingly being sucked into this war, intensity and complexity of the fighting will only increase.

In general, Russia’s military prospects in Syria seem to be moderately optimistic, with the hardest still to come.
