there had been a counter-strike, just neither side convinced me of its outcome (the usual...
...
now I noticed in pro-Government Twitter the claim of a counter-strike around "Marus" (it's close to #6 mark above)
taken/retaken Tweets), so I put two blue question marks below: "Inskandariyah" and "Marus" (haven't heard about changes elsewhere), and will update ...:

Introduction of the T-90 in Syrian Army was significant Tow-2A or Hot, Milan etc... ATGM much less efficient vs him and her reactive system Shtora.
Despite that T-90 are not numerous.
Seems much T-54, T-62 ofc and even T-72 also modernized destroyed by these missiles.

now it was mentioned in the pub where I'm so ...
Russia's claim it killed Islamic State's Adnani 'a joke': U.S. officials
and Russian official (Facebook Profile of their Ministry of Defense ) reaction basically says the Pentagon doesn't know anything so talks about 'a joke'
(personally I care only about the fact Tango is dead)

... and now I saw a vid which purported to show downing (using a TOW) of Government helicopter in that area:...
... the bottom is north to "Khattab" (it's Khitab from https://www.sinodefenceforum.com/is...o-oped-no-politics.t6913/page-421#post-412920 and Government is there) ...

Government took over "Tal Sawwan", was able to defend "Hawsh Nasri" (it's Nawhs Nasri from the preceding post LOL because of my typo, not changing a name):in case you cared, you could take it back from

I think I could remove the question marks above (now saw two non-Government videos from Marus yesterday, also a footage of an improvised bombing from a drone dropping kinda bomblets, with at-most-hand-grenade-explosion-type-of-effects-on-the-ground), and since the other side holds up in Maan

I think the lines haven't changed much lately; I'm going to look there on Monday (but I would update if I heard either side was able to take over the whole area shown in "my" map in the meantime

and I haven't been followed much the events there since then, because ... not that much has been going on since then, except steady push against ISIL by Rebels/Turks in the central-north part (Turkish Army still on the Sayur, Kurds still west to the Euphrates ... despite certain announcements from the last week); the current situation is something like this (action is expected around Sayur Lake; don't know about the area east to Al-Rai):from what I figured, the approximate positions in central-north Syria "as of now":
(Manbij marked; Turks/Rebels on the Sayur River, so ... if they decided to cross ... I looked up the names of the bridges:
of course ISIL is to the left, and Kurds also on the other side of the Euphrates (to the right; clearly visible; the bridge there (#3) is "Qare Qowzaq" Bridge, and I would expect heavy action in its area: Kurds could be simply cut off there if Turks went all the way)
- Arab Hassan Bridge
- Dadat Bridge
