Ser ut som det kommit en del uppgifter under dagen, inga med 100% klarhet i dock.
Verkar helt klart som att SAA har haft förluster och att ISIS är på framfart, kan nog med rätt stor säkerhet anta att offensiven mot Tabqa är slut och lär inte återuptas på ett tag.
Desert Hawks and Syrian Marines left the 555th Regiment at Sufiyah and withdrew all the way to Zakiyah, leaving our men trapped.

Problemet som Ryssland har med Assadregimen och avancemang är koordination. Det finns tydligen åtskilliga grupper som strider för Assadregimen, från Irak, Afghanistan, Iran, Libanon och andra länder, som försvårar en unifiering och därmed koordinering av attacker.

The sources highlighted three reasons which contributed to the disagreement between Russia and the Shi'ite axis. The Russians rejected the strategic view of the Iranian regime, that the regime of President Bashar al-Assad is the protector of the Shi'ites in Syria and Tehran's interests in the region, especially against the Gulf countries.
Additionally, the Russians rejected Iran's intentions to transfer advanced weaponry to Hezbollah in Lebanon, while Moscow was reportedly willing to give up on Assad as part of future agreements.
The second reason was the Kurds. While Iran sees the growth in strength of the Kurds in the region as a threat to its internal stability - around three million Kurds live in Iranian territory - Russia supports Kurdish independence, since they have been the most effective and trustworthy fighters against ISIS.
The third reason is the failure of Iran and Hezbollah to achieve significant military victories, including the expansion of the battlefronts in Tadmor and al-Raqqa, and against ISIS in the east towards the Iraqi border. "Iran is worried by the possibility of clashes with ISIS on its border with Iraq," explained the source. "Russia received assurances from its allies that there would be swift victories, however despite this there have been 1,500 Hezbollah and Iranian deaths on the battlefield, and another 5,000 injured."

Därutöver har Ryssland allmänt misslyckats med sin insats och förödmjuakt sig själv genom att sätta upp mål som man inte har uppnått. IS finns fortfarande kvar, likväl gör al-Nusra, grupper som Ryssland menade att man skulle förgöra.

The Russian intervention has indeed failed to achieve the operational goals announced by the Russians themselves in November 2015. The Russians had stressed the imperative need to reach the Turkish-Syrian border, setting the closing of border crossings and supply routes with Turkey as a precondition to any solution. However, the Russians renounced this approach. The Russian truce has allowed armed factions, the United States, Saudi Arabia and Turkey to reorganize and rearm their ranks and rebuild most of the infrastructure destroyed by the joint Russo-Syrian operations.
