I found this video the other day on another blog I followed, warnewsupdates, and thought I should share it here too because it is amazing. A few notes though:
1. It is obvious propaganda in support of the Syrian regime and their Russian allies. The video is most likely heavily edited and it doesn't show any casualties on the Syrian side.
2. The battle took place in the Jobar neighborhood in Damascus. That place looks like it has been completely destroyed. The destruction is incredible and looks worse then what I have seen in Ukraine or even Iraq.
3. Since the battle took place in Damascus it's very unlikely that the Syrians were battling ISIS or al-Nusra. Those groups are mostly found in the north and the east and Damascus is one of the few places in the country where the so called "secular rebels" actually ARE secular.
Still, the video is incredibly impressive. It's propaganda but it is so well made that it is impressive on a technical level. I highly recommend watching it if you haven't already.
