#1 ...I call BS. The Syrian AF at this point is down to middle two figures in functioning combat aircraft. As they don't like to operate in the dark even under the best of conditions, that means they're getting a sortie rate out of their surviving aircraft that would be respectable in the USAF...and that just ain't happenin'.

#4 Count the bombs makes sense. Especially if they're cheap barrel bombs, which presumably need to be rolled out the back of the airplane rather than anything more complicated.

#5 As per DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS, looks like Baby Assad's Air Force has shot down or destroyed two of three of the ISIS' budding 3-MIG jet air force.

Iff true, Israel's IDAF + Iraqi AF should be happy.
