Started with protests in Daraa in 2011, the Syrian conflict rapidly turned into a war with a number of foreign powers supporting various militant groups (including al-Qaeda-linked) against the government of Bashar al-Assad. Since then, the country has been a point of instability in the Middle East.
Russia began a military intervention in Syria in 2015 after an official request by the Syrian government for military help against militant groups.This allowed the Syrian government to survive and to regain initiative in a battle against Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra, the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda), ISIS and other militant groups.
SF mod : Map needs correction in SE area, the MSR (N4) does not follow the Euphrates around the
bend to the south but rather runs in a direct line from Ma’din al Jadid to Al
Tibni, ( 25 air km) thus bypassing the basalt high ground and narrow channel. AFAIK there is no Al-Kibar Military Base at the location marked on the map. A simple scan of any SatMap will confirm this.
good job kurds
