Syrian Civil War: News #4

Monarchist wrote:So ISIS counter attacked and captured Mahin again. I think SAA will go down in history as one of the worst armies ever, totally corrupt, with basically no will to fight. Second of all russian airstrikes are doing no good, all we keep hearing is how ISIS is falling apart etc. This war can't be won anymore, it could of been won 2 years ago, now these airstrikes are to no use. The SAA basically dont exist.

The SAA allies once again flee. No trenches, no proper defence, lack of ATGMs and RPGs. It looks like they got outflanked, as some trenches are built but not from the direction the tank assaulted them.

Terrorists who consider themselves moderate opposition, will never be allowed to decide the fate of Syria and the region, said Deputy Minister of foreign Affairs of Iran Hossein Amir Abdollahian. The diplomat stressed that Iran does not support this conference, believing that it is contrary to the results of the conference "Vienna-2" on Syria.

DUBAI, Dec 10 — RIA Novosti, Yulia Troitskaya. The foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia Adel al-Jubayr expressed confidence that the President of Syria Bashar Assad leaves his post.

"Assad will leave, it is inevitable, or the result of a political decision that it is easier and preferable for all, or as a result of military action, because it started to reject the Syrian people themselves," said al-Jubayr at the press conference after the summit of the cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf in Riyadh. The press conference showed the Saudi TV channel "al-Ekhbaria".

There were literally less than ten guys in that hamlet. Unless you drop Alpha, Seals, SAS, OMFGBBQ operators, they had less chance to defend that hamlet, than I to score Miss Universe tonight.
Once again the rolling tincans pull the same idiotic shit, and this time they get stuck in soft ground. It's sad that the guys don't have the cojones to stand as the actual VisCon for the tank isn't the primary sight, but the drone.

Also very poor tactical situation of that tank, it stops behind the firt housing block while not knowing what's behind it. That was asking for a shot in the face.  Alas, the militias were too busy trying to haul ass. Once again, the guys want to GTFO but fail to understand that overwatch will have them spotted and the T-72 mow then down in the open. FFS, this is beyond sadness.

No roadblocks, no anti tank trenches, no mines, no fortifications, no spotters, no improvised highgrounds, no observation posts... I know they are few in numbers here, but its not like they did anything to improve their chances whatsoever.

Add to that, the article is of course only on Iraq, not syria. But we all know they will use them in Syria.  Hopefully they will be bombed.

I hope it is not but what a coincidence French A/C was heading to Persian Gulf...

100k so maybe Iran and Syria to be attacked? just to either fend off Russia or better to involve in war with terrorists from Saudis and Qatar.

I hope pissing china with Uygurs will take its toll by Chinese troops sent to Syria.

100K American troops? In Iraq?

I had no idea jihadists celebrate Christmas but it looks like Santa McCain will bring them many gifts this season. They must have been good boys....

Maybe we should invest some money into coffin and US flags industry if this is true?

Its 10k US plus 90K Gulf troops. The vassals haven't been doing enough. They need to splill blood as well as buy gear to be a real ally of Uncle Sam.

According to air force spokesman Brigadier General Ali Mayhoub, the Syrian Arab Air Force has destroyed three terrorist command posts operated by Daesh, also known as ISIL/the Islamic State, in areas around Aleppo and Palmyra. Strikes also targeted three columns of vehicles in Homs province, which took out a number of militants and weapons caches.

Weapons depots and logistics facilities were also destroyed.

These strikes occurred between November 27 and December 10, and "led to the destruction of terrorist gangs, fortifications and command posts," Mayhoub said during a briefing, according to RIA Novosti.

On Wednesday, the Russian Defense Ministry announced that its bombers had also carried out 82 sorties in a 24-hour period.

"In the last 24 hours, Russian jets conducted 82 sorties against 204 terrorist targets in Syria, located in the provinces of Aleppo, Idlib, Latakia, Hama, and Homs," ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said, according to RIA Novosit. "Futhermore, 32 of the sorties were conducted at night."

Russia has conducted an aerial campaign alongside the Syrian government since September 30, as part of a joint effort to combat Daesh.

With a company sized force with basic skills, that assault becomes and ambush.

The tactical situation of the village is good and the idiots with the tank do again their stupid shit, Nota bene, this is a new tank and they don't use the cannon even at range...no ammo.
