Tos-1a in #Palmyra

Its been really bad for NATO & allies to see their bastardly child ISIS loosing Palmyra to SAA and allies. Since last few days, the western propaganda machines like PPC, Al Jihadi etc have been almost ignoring the Palmyra advance of SAA with PPC completely shutting it out from their broadcasts...atleast I did not see them reporting in their broadcasts.

There is more bad news for the scums in northern Syria...

#Syria #Latakia Syrian Desert Falcons & Navy Commando Leaders say OP'S will Resume @ #Lattakia Within 48 Hours.




The recent utterances we saw on western propaganda channels like "Govt troops", "Syrian army" etc are likely temporary due to the recent blasts in Brussels.

Its the same as an earlier report about German intelligence "helping" Syrian Govt...I found that so called "helping" ridiculous ecoz the murican puppet German Govt can never do anything good for helping the Syrian Govt and its ppl in their fight against international terrorists as they themselves are a part to supporting these groups. My understanding is that the German govts only likely interest was to shamelessly get as much info as possible from the Syrian Govt regarding the citizens and especially the passports/identity where by the Europeans could verify the authenticity. This was due to the said possession of passport printing equipment with the IS.

Daesh Said to Possess Passport Printing Equipment in Syria - Reports
http://sputniknews.com/middleeast/20151211/1031566196/daesh-passport-printing-equipment.html

Based on information provided by a local source rated with "moderate confidence," the report claims fake passports are "awash" in the Arab republic.

"If [Daesh] ability to produce passports is not controlled, their operations will continue to increase and expand outside of their operational controlled areas," the report warned.

In late morning hours after intensive night fighting Syrian army with help of Hezbollah, IRGC, Iraqi volunteers, RuAF, etc fully liberate the town of Palmyra. This is the best Happy Easter present for Syria.

I hope SAA will soon give the numbers of killed ISIL terrorist inside Palmyra and around Palmyra on all those hills and mountains and for sure they will be in thousands. This defeat inflicted heavy losses to ISIL, but ISIL will quickly replace them by thousands of new terrorists and weapons from KSA and Turkey.

ISIS withdrew.

Palmyra is in the middle of nowhere, I bet russian gunships were cutting them down in droves.

1/ To remind those w/ short memory:
June 2015, #SAA was losing ground, returned into the cities following Jisr al-Shughur and #Idlib lost.

2/ Following repetitive visits2 #Russia by #Iran officials,it was agreed tt Moscow would provide Air Force,conditioned w/ Iran ground forces

3/ Bombing #ISIS or #AQ and allies is useless unless supported by ground troops to take the ground and benefit from Air force.

4/ #Iran injected thousands of #IRGC, #Hezbollah increased Special Forces & #Iraq militia offered several thousands2 follow the AF campaign.

I'll venture to say 2.41 is AA-6 Acrid which they would want to convert to heavy artillery rockets.

Positive, all missiles in crates are AA-6, only in SKD mode. The one in full capability, looks converted into a SS heavy rocket. Should have known better.
