More drone footage out of Syria: City of Sheikh Miskeen recaptured by Assad's forces.

Drone footage of Sheikh Miskeen. 

Russia has released new footage of the aftermath of the battle of Sheikh Miskeen. The city was liberated by Assad's forces after pushing out rebel groups in the area. The city is a major crossroads and was used by rebels to launch attack throughout the southern part of Syria and Daraa Province. Capturing the city helps Assad's forces cut supply lines to the southern rebels and help secure the area around Damascus. Capturing the city was a major victory for Assad and the government of Syria. 

I've posted footage from this youtube channel before and I can see the quality of these Russian made videos has not gone down. It's important to note that this is obvious Russian propaganda, so keep that in mind when you watch the video. They are trying to send a message and that message is that anyone who stands against Syria will be destroyed just like the buildings in the video. That doesn't mean that the images are any less powerful though. 

The destruction caused by the Syrian conflict is just incredible. Buildings toppled, roads destroyed and fires everywhere. And this is just one city, which has seen two major battles in this war. If nothing else this video shows had bad the conflict in Syria really is...
