#1 14 Air Strikes! I wonder which think tank came to the magic number of 14? Meanwhile Syrian warplanes carried out 160 air strikes of their own. Which shows there's fighting for appearance and fighting to win.

#2 Note the number 14 relates to the number of sorties daily and that number seems to remain static. Recently, there are reports of as many as 28 attacks, but almost certainly that increase is due to use of drones. A wannabet moment: Wannabet that in the year 2025 there will be no more manned aircraft.
