The BBC Radio 4 News said this morning that according to Western "intelligence services" Russia is planning to destroy Eastern Aleppo wholly before the inauguration of the next US president next January. That's the quality of this morning's news.

NATO has just launched its E-3A AWACS in operations over the Middle East

Already overflown by many government military aircraft, of which the vast majority are engaged in the international coalition Inherent Resolve, the Middle East has seen the arrival of airborne early warning aircraft E-3A AWACS of NATO.

Indeed, on 25 October 2016, the Secretary General of the Atlantic Alliance, Jens Stoltenberg, said that "the first flight of AWACS of NATO in supporting the anti-coalition EI took place last week, 20 October ". "There will be several flights" and the number of missions will increase, he added.

The secretary did not indicate the number of devices that had been deployed as part of this operation. However, the at NATO AWACS stationed on the Turkish air base in Konya, located in the center of Turkey with military installations comply with NATO standards.

Unlike aircraft of the international coalition, and following a request from the German government did not want to complicate the situation in the airspace of Syria and Iraq, the E-3A does not operate in the airspace of the latter two countries.

All missions will therefore conducted from international airspace in the Eastern Mediterranean, or directly from Turkish airspace at the border with Iraq and Syria.

The deployment of this contingent follows a request by the United States, which provided almost all of the surveillance and control missions over Iraq and Syria. The positive response from NATO to this request will allow US aircraft crews and reduce the number of missions.

Missions that are especially difficult because of the relatively tense situation in the region, especially between US aircraft and those of the Inherent Resolve operation, which must operate alongside the aircraft Russian and Syrian combat.

Stoltenberg said that the commitment of these devices will give a "best aerial image" to the international coalition aircraft and this will make the mission of the coalition "safer" in the "complex and complicated" situation.

The entire fleet of E-3A AWACS of NATO consists of sixteen aircraft, stationed on the NATO Air Base Geilenkirchen in western Germany.

Crews participating in the NATO program from Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Turkey, and the United -United. France and the United Kingdom do not participate because they have their own fleet of AWACS.

The Times and other Western media are concentrating on Aleppo where the terrorist enclave have not been bombarded by aircraft for nearly two weeks. The assault from outside on SW Aleppo and the concentrations of terrorists in Idlib are more important targets.

that's how you were fantasizing
(a moment ago in
Russian Military News, Reports, Data, etc.
)
but Russian Air Force didn't bomb southwestern Aleppo during this weekend (based on the decision of Mr. Putin, and to dismay of many in Russian Internet) ... if you think it did it, you should be able to post official video(s)/announcement(s); are you?

I would hate to be premature, but I do believe that the terrorist offensive on West Aleppo has at the very least now been stalled and has not achieved anything beyond what was done on day one.
Most interestingly, the SAA having stopped them with no or very little help from the Russian Airforce. (Not clear if the Russians are working over Idlib or not).

The message from Putin to the terrorists in East Aleppo seems clear, "your cause is lost even without Russian involvement and so you should evacuate the city".
