Vuoden 2008 Georgian sodan jälkeen Venäjän asevoimissa aloitettiin reformi sen suorituskyvyn paran- tamiseksi. Syyrian intervention aikaan useat näistä uusista suorituskyvyistä ovat käytössä. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää Venäjän ilmavoimien kyky tukea maaoperaatiota. Tutkimus toteutettiin tapaustutkimuksena. Tapauksina työssä olivat kolme Syyrian halli- tuksen toteuttamaa operaatiota, joita Venäjä suorituskyvyillään tuki. Venäjän interventiosta ei ollut saatavilla opinnäytetöitä tai kirjallisuutta. Tästä johtuen tutkimuksessa käytettiin lähdemateriaalina sosiaaliseen mediaan tuotettua aineistoa sekä uutisartikkeleita. Koska sosiaalisen median käyttäjien luotettavuutta oli vaikea arvioida, tutkimuksessa käytettiin videoiden ja kuvien geopaikannusta (geolocation, geolokaatio), joka

  • Syria Intelligence Report – 07-09 October 2017 On
    Syria Intelligence Report – 07-09 October 2017 On Friday evening, the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK), supporting numerous Free Syrian Army (FSA) factions that participated in the Operation Euphrates Shield, launched the first steps of its operations in Idlib. Dubbed Idlib Shield, the operation was described by the TSK as a means to observe and enforce the de-escalation regime that was agreed in December 2016. The TSK stated that these operations, which are being conducted with support from the Russian Airforce, are looking to facilitate the suitable conditions to ensure the return of Syrian refugees to their homes and deliver humanitarian aid to the region. The TSK statement further mentioned that the immediate objectives of the forces are to set up observation posts in key areas. So far, the TSK has ruled out any intent of operations against the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), Hayy’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and the People’s Protection Units (YPG). However, subsequent statements, as well as statements from the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan over the weekend suggest that in the long-term, the TSK and its FSA allies are seeking to contain the HTS and the YPG in Idlib and Afrin respectively, removing the potential of either force threatening Turkish interests. Indeed, since the launch of the operation, the Idlib Shield forces have positioned themselves in the countryside south of Afrin, entering Atmeh (and its adjacent refugee camp), Qah, Salwa, Zarzitah, Qaturah, Mount Simeon and Mount Barakat. A Turkish delegation has also reportedly entered the town of Dar’at Izza for negotiations. In the immediate aftermath of the Turkish forces entering into Idlib, localised clashes were reported between the Idlib Shield forces and the HTS.

(Photo by AFP via Getty Images) SUMMARY After a brief but deadly Turkish offensive in Idlib, a new phase of the Syria war began on March 5 with the signing of a Turkish-Russian cease-fire deal. Reported deaths dropped drastically following the cease-fire, and this spring has been defined by the slow attrition of pro-regime forces due to the two ingoing insurgencies in south and central Syria and the two frozen frontlines in the northwest and northeast. The author and Trenton Schoenborn recorded 600 reported pro-government combat- related deaths between March 1 and May 31, 2020. These numbers show a sharp decrease in the level of violence in northwest Syria when compared to reported deaths in the previous two months of this year. They also demonstrate gradually increasing levels of violence in southern and central Syria, where the regime faces insurgencies by ex-rebels and ISIS militants. METHODOLOGY deaths is rarely shared outside their community. This second factor makes it particularly difficult to find out about This report relies on pro-regime Syrian such deaths due to the impossibility of Facebook pages to document deaths searching the Facebook pages of every within the ranks of the Syrian Arab Army Syrian community.
