The introduction of Russian airpower in Syria has been widely cited as a turning point in the Syrian civil war. Few analyses have attempted to systematically evaluate the impact of Russian airpower on Syrian military operations, against both the Western-backed opposition groups and the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). This study provides a strategic analysis and performance assessment of the use of Russian airpower in Syria from September 2015 to March 2018. The findings will provide insights to U.S. Air Force, Joint Force, Coalition, expert community, policy, and academic audiences about the Russian Aerospace Force's (VKS's) strengths, weaknesses, and adaptations in Syria - its first modern expeditionary air war.
