My estimation SDF control in S. al-Raqqah, expansion btw 0-25km along the entire front post-Dec 8
-2 oil fields S of Tabqah
-Resafa and som desert villages
-more of the Salamiyah road, including stretch btw Tabqah turnoff and Resafa
-about 5 towns and a number of villages on the Euphrates right bank

from what i can tell with mid range satellite imagery these are the current front lines (you can actually make out the pre-Dec one based on ground color)
last SDF checkpoint on Salamiyah road seems to be here 35.532576, 38.336934 (pic 2). and Resafa is within berms dugs this spring

Multiple sources, writing about multiple attacks, say these drones were launched from trucks near the air bases. This may be bullshit, although the footage shows the attack being carried out by quadcopters, which do have very short range, not long-range UAVs.

Ukrainian media reporting that *95* strategic bombers, and 20 other military aircraft, are being targeted. Some sources say 40 planes are confirmed destroyed.
This could be the largest strike on Russian forces since the beginning of the war.
