In the wake of this attack, one can expect the Russians and Syrians to establish heavy, layered defenses for the Air Base and for the Naval Base. At present it seems that the Syrians are focusing on clearing out the last pockets near the Damascus District. Once this is achieved, all focus will shift toward Idlib province. Last month the big news was the Syrian military had taken full control of Beit Jinn. Remnant ISIS groups are cornered between the Golan Heights and the border with Jordan. There have been serious reports which suggest the willing evacuation of ISIS fighters from Eastern Syria (East of River Euphrates) by American military. What the Syrians, Russians and Iranians want though, is hard evidence against the Americans that directly implicates them in directly or indirectly helping in ISIS evacuating the area.
With all of this going on, the announcement of Russian military withdrawal and now the attack on their Air Base in Latakia province. Would mean that Syria would be looking for greater Iranian presence in their territory.
Idlib is the key to ending the terrorist's strong hold in Syria and its HTS (not ISIS) who are in power their. Hayat Tahreer Al-Sham (HTS) is the only Al-Qaeda group which is operating in Syria, which controls any territory. It's this group which now needs to be eliminated, just like ISIS has been in Deir Azor. We will have to wait and see how the Syrians mitigate between flushing out last pockets of ISIS in the area near Golan Heights, South West of Damascus and HTS in the Northern province of Idlib.
The sooner this is achieved by the Syrian-Lebanese-Iranian-Russian coalition, the greater the chance for reaching a settlement between Free Syrian movement and the Syrian government.

There goes Russia's profit that they made from China by selling a few dozen of those Su-35s. Now they have to use whatever scant money they have left in their military budget due to economic sanctions to replace all lost lives military positions and equipment.

I think I know what you mean, but they're even more dependent on the oil price ($10-per-barrel-drop could cost them $20b or so in one year) etc. etc.
one thing is using Syria as a huge proving ground for their military equipment and personnel (Dec 27, 2017
), another thing is the occupation
let's wait and see now
