The overall design of the Syrian epic reduced to the simultaneous solution of a number of questions about what we have already written.
The strategic goal of military operations is unlikely to inflict a complete defeat to the enemy. Russian generals studied in the academies where they are taught that a guerrilla war cannot be won militarily. In this case, guerrilla tactics backed up with strong support of the local population, because the basis of all, are religious differences between the Shiite-Levitski minority (Assad) and Sunnis. Here there are no prospects there, because someone has to abandon their beliefs. In addition, to the South and East of Syria, are state able to pour hundreds of millions of dollars in support of Sunni insurgents. This makes victory impossible. So, in strategic terms, the Russian Federation holds an open hotbed of instability on the route of promising oil and gas pipelines from Gulf countries to Turkey and Europe. His forces Assad can no longer resist the pressure and forces of the Russian Federation can last for a short time.
However, the Russian military is trying to attack your opponent and to move into the territory. At first glance, the futility of these actions is simply amazing. Russians don't have to battle for a settlement, not turning it into ruins. It is not only in Syria but also in Ukraine or Chechnya, all the same — large-scale destruction. To kill material resources and to incur loss of personnel over the piles of rubble and broken concrete — not the prize you wish to receive at the end of the operation. However, the Russians and the Syrians with persistence, worthy the best application, just keep coming to meet his death.
However, if you look carefully, you can discover important details that point to the true purpose of the grinder. Any map shows that Syria has no hostile environment from all sides. Lebanon, Israel, Jordan, Iraq and Turkey can't be those countries that can support Syria. Iran somehow reach through Iraq, and Russia by sea. That is, sustainable communications and no azadovskii forces pressed to the Western borders and the sea. But the trick is that almost all power generating facilities that are located in the East of the country. Only in Syria several thermal power plants operating on gas and hydro, in the bed of the Euphrates. Tellingly, gas for CHP comes from fields in the border areas of Iraq. There are also deposits of oil, respectively, of refining capacity are also there.
It turns out that the Western parts of Syria controlled by Assad's troops, can obtain electricity, gas and petrol only from those areas controlled by ISIS or the moderate opposition. From neighbors to get these resources does not work, because with all of Assad in contra. It is clear that the industry and the army just suffocate without energy. It is known that Russia supplies fuel for their groups and for al-Assad's army. It comes in a good penny and makes any industry in Assad-controlled areas — a hostage of the rebels.
But that's not all. Even agriculture is suffering from a lower capacity irrigation for fresh water is also fed from the reservoirs on the Euphrates. Hence the tactical tasks of Russian troops — to recapture at least some sources of energy or water, for the cost of the operation will be comparable with the cost of expeditions to Mars. But there are two moments that are gaining momentum right now. In the spring, coalition aircraft struck oil refineries controlled by ISIS in the suburbs of tel Abyad. Then killed about 30 people. In the autumn, was the allied air forces, was put out of action TPP, near Aleppo. That is, States and allies, destroy infrastructure, supply Azadovskii troops and ISIL. On this occasion, Putin made a surprised face and asked: "Why are they doing this?" And they do this to military group of the enemy village diesel generators, and diesel fuel drove thousands of miles. So here it is — all right.
And now the rebels themselves understood the meaning of these actions in social networks there is a growing call for cutting all communications that go to the side of the government troops. Urge literally — to cut the wire and disrupt power transmission towers, gas and vodoprovod, to stop the supply of food. It seems that the Syrian opposition appreciated the meaning of our Crimean "neoblood" and decided to approach this issue with seriousness.
This blockade and trying to break through the troops of the Russian Federation. However, they do not quite get, but it's the only explanation for the ground operation. Apparently decided to gain a foothold in territories where resettled alawites, but grab at least a few sources of water and electricity. Then you can try to keep the coastal areas. If that fails, Damascus and Latakia will be plunged into the stone age and the story will end, or Russia will have to carry humanitarian convoys to Syria and in addition to the fuel and products, we will have to carry and the water, and it is already extreme degree of absurdity. In short, Syria was a suitcase without a handle, and now, all the same, only the suitcase with the bricks!
