Another Bayraktar down.

This destroyed Pantsir today looks legit.

Turkish MOD announced 1 soldier killed and 9 wounded (some critically) - allegedly in a Tochka strike near Nayrab. 

Small SAA advance in Jabal Zawyah by @suriyakmaps

One of the famous truck-mounted M-46 guns destroyed by TAF drones.

How many are in service? Also is there any source about its armor protection level?

I pick easier answer - this vehicle was destroyed somewhere outside of Syria.

I can agree about that. 

Another carnage from TAF drones.

I guess it is a downed Iranian Ababil on that pick-up. Anyway there have been a lot of reports of downed drones from both sides without any pics/videos. IMHO it's normal that we don't see any proofs unless they crash on the adversary's territory.

"There" is where exactly? They probably re-used some footage from unknown to us place, but it doesn't look like Pantsir (strange radar, layout of the vehicle is also have different from Pantsir).

Well, good question. I supposed it's in Lybia but let's say it's elsewhere. How would it get to SAA? It's even less likely than Libya IMHO. And where else? 

How would Roland get there? From whom? From France to LNA? From Qatar to GNA and captured by LNA? Both looks quite unlikely to me.

I'm not the one claiming it is 30mm, period. I am saying not of us know as we don't have the plan drawings, yet since we do know one of the adoption requirements we can atleast make a reasonable guess.

You're caiming it's around 45 mm without any proof as well. 

More TAF drone strikes

Meanwhile our minister of internal affairs promissed to offer Greece a help in guarding the Turkish border including sending our policemen. I guess that at least some V4 countries will come with the same offer.

As for the hull side below the sponsons, I think it's 45mm based on the requirement for adoption, i.e. immunity from 20mm DM43 @ 100 m. But others in here are saying 30mm based on the rejected 2K & 2AV prototypes. None of us know for sure however.

Sorry to jump in your discussion but you repeatedly asked others for proofs backing their statements while you haven't presented any sort of proof yourself. 

One Bayraktar confirmed.

Others squawking but maybe it was just a temporary lost of communication due to EW. 

One TSK soldier died today inSAA shelling of Taftanaz airport. 

SVBIED hit before it reached the target.

Maybe another Bayraktar down? I can't find the TCS8 on a free Flightradar myself though. 

Not exactly destroyed but quite a very second hand looking Sabra.

Meanwhile there are reports about Russian MP deployment to Saraqib. No other Turkish-backed attack on the city I guess...

2/3 Ontos on the wheels. 

It looks like maybe only one SyAAF Su-24 was shot down today after all. Maybe two, I don't know. Anyway here is a footage. 

The horizontal trail doesn't look like MANPADS to me. Could it be AMRAAM? 

SAA claims to have shot down 6 drones today. Another one was shot down near Hmeimym by Russian AD. Hard to say how many of those were makeshift jihadi drones, I guess most of them. Only one Anka-S is confirmed by footage so far but this seems to be a confirmation of second Turkish one.

Here SAA AAA in action

Houthis continue to advance and captured Al Hazm city today, the principal town of Al Jawf province. 

Turkey shot down two SyAAF planes over Idlib (allegedly targeted three). All pilots are said to eject and land in SAA controlled territory. 

A video of one of them - allegedly Su-24 downed by Turkish F-16. I don't know if that is true. 

Meanwhile fighting errupted in Dara'a province in the south in several towns... 

An Anka-S shot down over Saraqib (most likely by SAA Pantsir) and a jihadi mob celebrating. They didn't even recognized the Turkish roundels on the wings...

   Doesn't sound wild for me, UAE Pantsirs were spotted in Libya last year or in 2018 IIRC.

I meant the number of kills what I find wild. 

The drones fly like 200 km/h and do no evasive manuevers. Even in WW2 it was possible to hit much faster targets by AA gunfire with only visual aiming so I guess it shall be possible even though difficult of course. 

SAA spent 9 years fighting an enemy without air force. It looks like they simply completely resigned on any AA defence in the field units because what actually was attacked by air force in the past (mostly by IAF) was not the frontline units. Also since I guess that the drones fly around 5000+ meters and the useful assest against them are mostly deployed to defend againts Israeli strikes. What is more surprising is why they don't use airfoce at all? For what do they have those MiG-29 and MiG-23 which can shoot those drones easily? Those drones often fly with transponders on and can be seen even on public flightradar. 

This is one of the T-72M1 hit by the drone attack. It doesn't look like a total loss to me but I am no expert at all. I guess the bigger issue for SAA is that due to the counter attack a lot of that damaged hardware stayed in now enemy territory. 

By the way there are plenty of S-60 guns in SAA units. Do You think that if someone knows how to properly operate them (and has the right ammo) he can shoot down a very slow and non-maneuvering aircraft flying at 5000 meters? I guess it shall not be impossible, or? 

The coalition shall withdraw from Afghanistan completely within 14 months after signing a peace deal with Taliban.

Text of the deal. Unfortunately the first page is blured.

Video from the site of the deadly aistrike which killed 36 TSK soldiers (the number grew meanwhile). 

Sure most of that is indeed from Syria however we shall not rule out that part of the footage is also from Libya. In another video released by Turkish mod they claim to destroy SAA Pantsir while the vehicle on the video looks like UAE MAN-based variant used in Libya and Yemen only. 

The amount of SAA loses from the Turkish drone and artillery strikes is staggering (including TR-300 artillery guided missiles). I just don't get why the drones operated for weeks with impunity over SAA units. For what do they have air force and AD? 

Anyway, it looks like tonigth they hit at least one drone, maybe two. The first video is clearly a hit. Not sure about the second one. 

The video of destroyed Pantsir by UAV may be from Libya. The truck looks more like a MAN than KamAZ.
