It is assumed that initially the Syrian army will try to gain a foothold in this region, after which direct battles for this territory will begin. It is expected that the assault on the city of Maarat al-Nuuman can be completed within 2-3 weeks.
American fighters intercepted two Russian helicopters
US Air Force fighters intercepted two Russian Mi-17 military helicopters in the sky over Syria. The latter, as expected, were supposed to provide escort for the Russian military convoy in the area of the American checkpoint, however, fighters fled here from the eastern part of Syria, which reportedly did not allow Russian helicopters to enter the airspace controlled by the US Army.
Additional information: the Russians called in a flight of two helicopters (believed to be Mi-17s, did not get a picture from source) and that is why American aircraft were summoned. As well as helicopters, the Americans had a flight of two fighter jets flying overhead.
