Very detailed map of Syria's mil situation according to Russians

[MikeWB]

Not sure what the origin of this map is but I found it on 4chan. Some are saying it's from Russian Ministry of Defense. I have no idea if that's true.

It's large... 3.5MB so I won't embed it. Grab it here:

Translation of the legend by some other anon on 4chan:

The main known objective of the Russians in Syria is to keep Assad seated, but
equally important, if not even more important, is to prevent IS/ISIL/ISIS (aka US
State Dept. sponsored Toyota Brigade) from selling off oil for junkyard sale
prices.

Very true. From looking at various tweets, they're slowly closing the corridor to Turkey.

BTW, there are numerous reports that Erdogan's family is making huge amounts of money from selling ISIS oil through Turkey.
