" Helicopters carry two barrel bombs"
SNHR report: "The report documents that Syrian regime helicopters dropped 12,958 barrel bombs in 2016. Most of these barrel bombs were dropped in Damascus suburbs governorate, followed by Aleppo and then Hama, Idlib, Daraa, and Homs. Furthermore, November 2016 saw the most of these barrel bombs with 1946 dropped followed by June, and then January and August."
In order to achieve this, the Syrian Airforce would have to fly 19 missions per day every day for the whole year. That is with limited airports available to them, the effect of sanctions, and taking into consideration daylight hours and distances to and from alleged targets. Not to mention, downtime, maintenance etc.
Also, if there had been 19 helicopter flights per day over this time period, is it not strange that we dont see footage of these helicopters other than the oft recycled images & video that are used to depict these attacks? The NATO state funded, Turkish based and trained "citizen journalists" cameramen and women, "activists" have the equipment to record such flights, surely? They certainly have the "equipment" to shoot them down..as with the Russian helicopter flying in humanitarian aid in August 2016.
