Clearly Putin's intent is to prop up the Assad regime. No one doubts that. But keep in mind that ISIS too opposes Assad.
I'm guessing that the groups Putin just targeted were hit first because they represent the most immediate threat to Assad.
But you needn't waste any tears on their behalf, most of the so called "moderate" rebels are affiliated with Al-Qaeda.
There are no "good guys" in this war, just some that are worse than others.
