New Drone Footage Shows Utter Devastation In Syria’s Third Largest City


Since the war in Syria entered a new phase in late September with the entry of the Russian air force, we’ve brought you quite a bit of footage depicting the desolation wrought by five years of bloody combat between government forces and the mishmash of rebels battling for control of the country (see here and here).

As Bashar al-Assad put it in an interview with Die Presse, “much of Syria’s infrastructure is destroyed.”

And it isn’t just the infrastructure. Syria has also lost quite a bit of its cultural heritage. For example, the ancient ruins at Palmyra have been partially, well, ruined by Islamic State.

Although we’re quite sure readers are well aware of just how bad things truly are in Syria thanks in no small part to the US-backed effort to bring about regime change in Damascus, it never hurts to remind the public of just how “successful” Washington’s Mid-East foreign policy is and on that note, we bring you the following drone footage of Homs, Syria’s third-largest city.
