There are a few boys here (the usual suspects) that are getting massive boners from Al-Quida affiliates supposedly making gains. Even if a few areas were taken such as artillery base, it does not mean Aleppo is taken. It is almost guaranteed that the "rebels" took much higher casualties while pushing their offensive. It's hard not to take higher casualties when attacking fortified troops backed at least partially by armor and air support. One wounder a how long they can sustain these losses?
As long as the SAA can prevent a full encirclement by leaving that gap in the southwest open then they can send reinforcements and logistical support. The "rebels" win or lose are going to be taking a pounding by the RuAF.
The massive suicidal attacks by the terrorists makes some sense but at the same time it was irrational. They would be better off cutting off the SAA and making a full encirclement and then concentrating powerful breakthroughs in the SAA weakest areas but instead they attack the most fortified possitions.
