Lmaooo this is the biggest cope.
Russians got their ass kicked by Isis in a counterattack in Palmyra.
That the Russians left lots of equipment behind like Sam missiles until the Russians told the Americans to bomb these anti aircraft missiles so they dont end up in isis hands.
Isis terrorists nearly came close to getting SAMs thanks to the Russians.
Russians will spin whatever bs about their defeats.
When the Turks first swung into Syria to fight Isis and cut off the PKK terrorist state from forming at her border, she realised how easy it was for armoured columns to be picked off by anti-tank weapons and what not. So when Afrin came around she changed up her tactics relying more on air power and the gradual movement of lightly armed infantry.
Then by the time Idlib came around the Turks completely revolutionised how wars can be conducted via using drones as the primary mode of attack. That campaigned signalled to the world that drones are now critical in war. A nation without drones will lose against one that has them.
The Russians seem to be the opposite, no matter how stupid they behave they keep doubling down on it and justifying it and as a result they keep getting the same results.
Meanwhile its clear the Turks are moving further ahead with a network centric style of warfare that will come to rely more and more on unarmed units leading the charge and the actual army moving into a support role.
The underlying route of Russia's failure is that they cannot question a failing dictator.
