BREAKING - Russia has informed Damascus that any intervention will be limited, as it has other priorities at this time, Sky News Arabia reports.
That answers the question I posed this past weekend.

Russia has a lot on its hands right now; they are getting rolled back in Syria, in danger of losing their only port in the Med, and Georgia is getting spicy with protests against Russia's puppet government.
How strongly they respond to these trouble spots will be a good measure of their strength. Do they have the available combat power to stabilize Syria?
The answer to that is NO. They do not have the strength to stabilize Syria. That is a bit surprising given how important Syria is to their efforts in Africa.

preparing to evacuate ? or defend Tartus ? One would think Tartus would already have its own air defense.

HTS has fought against ISIS and Al Queda in the part few years, and they said earlier this week that they did not want to be America's enemy. Hopefully they mean in the long term. I am not optimistic about that though. They probably don't want to be our enemy until after they can consolidate control of Syria.

TEHRAN, Dec. 06 (MNA) – The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran has called for the cessation of Ukraine's support for terrorists in the West Asia region.
According to Mehr News Agency, Mojtaba Damirchiloo, Assistant to the Iranian Foreign Minister and Director General of Eurasia Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, referred to reports regarding the illegal trade of weapons received from the United States by some Ukrainian officials and Ukraine's support for listed terrorist groups in Syria.
He termed these actions a blatant violation of international commitments related to the prevention and combat of terrorism and called for their immediate cessation.
Recalling the dangerous nature of Takfiri terrorist elements in Syria, which have long been on the UN Security Council’s list of terrorist organizations, Damirchiloo described the use of such groups to destabilize the West Asia region as an unethical policy, contrary to all principles and norms of international law.
The senior Iranian diplomat stressed that experience shows that alliances with terrorism only lead to the expansion of insecurity and violence in the world, and sooner or later, it will affect those who support it.
Elsewhere in his remarks, he condemned the repeated and baseless claims made by Ukrainian officials regarding Iran's alleged role in the Ukraine conflict. Reiterating the position of the Islamic Republic of Iran, he stressed that Tehran has consistently opposed the war from the beginning, has had no involvement in the conflict, and has always called for dialogue to find a diplomatic solution to the disagreements.

Russia's ability to outmatch Ukraine with artillery barrages on the battlefield has significantly reduced to just 1.5 Russian rounds for every Ukrainian shell fired back, Western officials have said.
This compares with Russian forces launching at least five times as many artillery rounds as Ukraine could in the war previously - with the ratio at times much higher even than that.
So much for Russia's endless supplies of shells.

The S-300 can also be used for ground attacks. Have to wait and see.

Oof. Wonder if Russia has enough Rubbles to buy their bases back and change their minds about America.

They are taking it to Tartus to put it on a ship, so that the rebels don't get it.

I agree that's most likely.

Iran Begins to Evacuate Military Officials and Personnel From Syria
One of the benefits to all this that I don't think that we have talked about is how much better off Lebanon will be in the long term without Iran supplying Hezbollah. Hezbollah has had a chokehold on the Lebanese government for a very long time, and it's crippled the whole country.
Iran Begins to Evacuate Military Officials and Personnel From Syria

Iran began to evacuate its military commanders and personnel from Syria on Friday, according to regional officials and three Iranian officials, in a sign of Iran’s inability to help keep President Bashar al-Assad in power as he faces a resurgent rebel offensive.
Among those evacuated to neighboring Iraq and Lebanon were top commanders of Iran’s powerful Quds Forces, the external branch of the Revolutionary Guards Corps, the officials said.
Guards personnel, some Iranian diplomatic staff, their families, and Iranian civilians were also being evacuated, according to the Iranian officials, two of them members of the Guards, and regional officials. Iranians began to leave Syria on Friday morning, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive issue.
Evacuations were ordered at the Iranian Embassy in Damascus, and at bases of the Revolutionary Guards, the Iranian and regional officials said. At least some of the embassy staff has departed.
