The info supply is not that great in Oz.

Were you told China has sent an aircraft carrier which is currently in Tartus port Syria? China is providing 1000 Chinese marines with air cover, which will arrive shortly. It is China's only carrier. Why? One major factor is the presence of a considerable number of Muslims from Sinkiang, amongs the groups fighting there. These are not wanted back in China. China has recently completed a major road through the mountains of western China and Northern Pakistan called the Karakoram Highway, which is nominally for trade but is no doubt for potential military use as well. It goes all the way to a new port in Baluchistan, Pakistan. This links China by road also to Iran, Iraq and Syria.

That Russia has landed quite a big force of Spetznaz special forces who are actively serving as target spotters for the Russian air force. These are the Russian equivalent of the SAS or Seals.

That ISIS is disintegrating in Syria because their pay has been slashed and heavy casualties from very effective Russian air strikes. There are a lot of desertions, more by locals than foreign fighters. As the population leaves the area they control so does their tax base.

That one of Russias main motives in striking in NE Syria is that there are anti Govt military units in area which are made up of all ethnic Muslims from the south Caucasus region -Chechens etc. because it is better that they can all communicate in the same language. A couple of thousand of them which Russia wants to target and eliminate before they go back to Russia and cause a lot of problems. They are the same crowd who killed all those schoolkids.

The Syrian government forces have just recovered the oil and gas field near Palmyra, important to Damascus electricity supply. ISIS forces have retreated in disorder into Jordan in the face of very damaging Russian air strikes.
There seem to be no information anywhere about just what Jordans government is doing about this.

"The info supply is not that great in Oz."

A slight understatement , as you have just touched the tip of the iceberg.
