It wont change the game.
Assad still relies heavily on air superiority, and a couple of tankbusters wont do much to change the sittuation. Untill Russia suplies spare part for those outdated MIGs, Ilyushins and Sukhovs, they will dominate the combat zones. Especially now that the jihadist elements turned every popular support agains the "rebbels" (lets face it, at this point nterrorist is a far more realistic word to use).
As Ive said from day 1: Assad is no angel, and his regimee commited some terrible deeds, but the "revolution" was a farce that had almost 0 popular support from when it started. This is not Lybia, where Gadaffi had no support outside the elite circles. Even there, they needed and illegal no-fly zone and bombing campaign to topple the regime. Toppling Assad in the short term is a dream, and the manslaughter will continue for years to come.
Thus far only humanitarian catastrophies came out from the western backed Arab Spring and pretty much every Color revolution thus far.
Vote the Mayor for Mayor!
