❗️Airplane flight of Bashar Assad and Russian generals - new details about Moscow's position in Syria - GUR
✈️Bashar Assad's escape from Damascus was accompanied by news about the disappearance of the signal of the IL-76T plane with the Syrian dictator on board from monitoring radars, which was allegedly caused by a shooting down or a plane crash.
❗️According to the available data, the indicated disinformation was used by the aggressor state Russia to cover up its operation to save the Syrian leader and a limited circle of people close to him.
❌The loss of the signal of Assad's plane from the radars is probably related to the actions of the crew, who followed the instructions of the Russians and flew under their guidance.
🏃Meanwhile, the situation of the Russian contingent in Syria is stable and difficult; the remnants of the group of the aggressor state continue to hastily pack up and leave by sea and sky.
The first to escape were the Russian army's "cones". In particular, following the failure of General Sergei Kisel, the newly appointed commander of the Russian military group in Syria, General Alexander Chaiko, left the territory of the Middle Eastern country - he was in command for a week.
⚓️In order to remove the remains of their weapons, equipment and personnel, the Russians attracted additional ships, in particular from the Baltic fleet of the aggressor state.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine advanced in the Kursk region and recovered the lost positions near Velika Novosilka in the Donetsk region, ISW.
The analysts write that instead the occupiers advanced near Kupyansk, Toretsk and Pokrovsk.
These Syrians claim to have found Assad 😉
(The statue of Bashar al-Assad's father Hafez Al-Assad is being dragged through the streets.)
‼️ Putin's "great" escape from Syria - the Russians withdraw ships from the base in Tartus and transfer the remnants of weapons by aircraft from Khmeimim - GUR
👥 The rapid process of overthrowing the regime of Bashar Assad in Syria was affected by the shameful flight of the Russian contingent from the territory of the Arab republic.
📍 In the capital of Syria, Damascus, the dictator's residence, government buildings and the central office of national television are under the control of anti-Assad forces.
❗️ After losing control of Damascus amid the continued offensive operation of opposition forces in the provinces of Latakia, Hama and Tartus, the Russian army withdrew its warships from the naval base in Tartus, which Assad had previously given to Moscow as payment for its security.
👉 On December 9, 2024, the frigate "Admiral Grigorovich" of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation and the cargo ship "Engineer of Pipes" of the Northern Fleet of the Russian Federation left Tartus in the Mediterranean Sea.
⚡️ The Russians are also transferring the remnants of their weapons and military equipment from Syria by military aircraft from the airbase in Khmeimim.
❗️ After the capture of Damascus, forces opposed to Assad are moving to the coast - Russia's probable loss of military bases in Tartus and Khmeimim will finalize the Kremlin's defeat in the Middle East.
⚫️ Syrian rebels entered Bashar al-Assad's palace in Damascus.
The country's state television announced the overthrow of the dictator's regime.
It took the rebels 11 days to topple Bashar al-Assad's 24-year regime and thus remove russia's principal stake in the middle east.

What’s uppermost on Trump’s mind as he contemplates taking on the presidency? Issues like:
Putting Liz Cheney in prison.
Pardoning January 6 defendants on day one.
Prioritizing deportations of migrants with a criminal record—they are already deported following sentencing.
I think tRump did not make a good impression.
What Liz Cheney needs is an exoneration. Don't know if the President has that power. Many governors do.
