Syrian Civil War: News #7

Some very up close and personal photos on internet. It's a Nosra /Moderat onslaught around Khan Tuman as they feel the squeeze behind them. The CoH isn't going all smoothly and clearly the US has no willpower nor the capacity to reign in Turkey. If anything it's really showing that the Cold War model is dead.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced today that 13 military advisors were killed, 21 others wounded in Syria, most of them at Aleppo battlefields; thus raising the number of Iranians killed while fighting radical militants in Syria to 247.

RIP to those heroes, Syria should be grateful it has such allies as Iran and Russia...

And such a shame its other neighbours are supporting its enemies without consequences...

Oh but they do have consequences. Look at Turkey. ISIS there can run free but from time to time they terrorise Turkish civilians and army. Of course Turkey either keeps silent or blames Kurds.

This settles the AR/Ak debate.

Seal using the Ebil Gun. Looks like a Krebs special...

Indeed He's Italian for all purpose.

Still settles the argument. Italians can't be wrong.

So it's a weird mix of fetures on that rifle.

Strike Industries buttstock.
P-Mag and Arsenal waffle mag.
DMS (Strike Industries) Sling mount
Enhanced AK grip (still Strike Industries)

Then

Krebs UFM keymod handgaurd
A Bravo 18 ambidextrous reload/charging handle.
Texas device "stress dust cover)
And probably a Krebs flash hider...

...you'll notice the guy doesn't mess around with the AK and doesn't complain.

Oh and Also Aimpoint Comp 2M and What looks like an Eotech x3 magnifier.

Such a mess.

Actually since he is most likely from "Moschin Hill" unit, they have on their disposal M4/HK416, Beretta 70/90, Beretta ARX 160, FN Scar Heavy and even Steyr AUG.

Dude, You sound like my wife when I ask whats the different between no name handbag and gucci one. At least Your posts always come very informative, You really know the stuff. By any chance do You work in the industry or You are professional shooter?
For a guy who was mostly carrying AK-4 (Basically Svedish G3) with iron sights it's a space age tech.  

Basically a bit of both, my son has found a place at Herstal (although on the corporate side) since about 9 months. Former brother in Law (and a good friend) is in Albanian military and deals with...procurement. And I have discovered shooting about a decade ago, and I'm getting more serious about it. It's surprisingly good business although shady back at home.

Edit: by the sound of it, the guy uses match ammo, possibly Italian or US. Weird looking at a probably Russian or Bulgarian rifle, kitted like a top model, being fed premium ammo to basically get rid of guys who fire back surplus ammo from worn out CommBloc rifles.

Testament to the rifle,

"Avtomat Kalashnikov, fought against itself and won every time."

Current situation around Khan Touman.



The SAA retain the high ground in the east, and the town itself is mostly rubble in the recent videos from there.

They should retake Khan Touman very soon, if they won't even Russia will loose reliability because jihadis realize they can do everything at every time, specially in the time of truce, without consequences.

Another joins the Trollchestra...

Come on!

I try to be neutral, but Khan Tuman was conquered in the time of truce by the so called "moderates" and a mix of jihadi scum. I know that SAA and Russia do a lot now to retake Khan Tuman, RuAF flew a lot of attacks last days. But...but, to say we have a truce in Aleppo, while the jihadis are attacking and at the other side the SAA try to push back is weird.

I know, the only solution for Syria is a political solution. Because most of rebels are very oportunistic seeking only for power, money and wealth and in this case it's easy to find a solution Russia has made big achieves, because many rebels switched back to government side. But they did it not because Russia is so friendly and kind, they did it, because they feared the power of Russia and Iran, they recognized the right signs. If Russia is visible to outstanding actors too passive, even if they are not passive and they are definite not passive, they will loose the leverage. Russia MUST show power in Syria, in military or political way, to keep other idiots out of the sandbox (turkey, saudi arabia etc.) this is the curse of the engagement.

At moment SAA and RuAF are pushing massive to Khan Tuman, earlier or later the town will fall back to SAA.

Not everyone who is sceptical is a troll, so you will have at the end only ONE opinion and this will result in stagnation. Ok, but maybe you are right I don't want ultron join this 

Three points.

LOL! Why you name me trollo?

One question please... Did SAA lost Khan Tuman?

Rebel sides taking over Khan Tuman:
-Jaysh al-Nasr (FSA)
-Jaysh Mujahadin (FSA)
-al-Haqq Brigade
-Ajnad al-Sham
-Ahrar al-Sham
-Jaysh al-Sunna
-Nusra Front
-Jund Aqsa
-Turkistan Islamic Party

A few of them are include in the truce in and around Aleppo. So tell me how is it possible to have a truce with FSA in Aleppo and a few km south west the same groups conquered Khan Tuman? To let this standing without consequences is a bit weird. If you give the "moderates" one finger, they will grab your whole hand! And don't forget they have humiliated Iran in a really bad way, with killing a dozen of IRGC and beheading the prisoners. I don't want a conflict with you KoTeMoRe, but you called me a troll, if you wouldn't have named me so I would be quiet

But why we are discussing this? The lost of Khan Tuman is a fact. RuAF and SAA are acting right now! They do and they should. If RuAF would do nothing, Russia would losse credibility, but this is not happening. And why you calling me a troll? Because i write the RUAF is acting? From my opinion it should be harder and there should be no truce in Aleppo city but that's my personal opinion.

But if you call me a troll, I will carry the title with proud, because i respect your comments here

Whole M5 is going to be shit to take and hold, since it's a death sentence for Idlib. If M5 falls there's no chance for the guys up north to come and reinforce the Idlib Area.
The issue is this. Al AEis and Khan Tuman would have been attacked sooner or later, because the actual goal for this is try and disengage Aleppo. Which so far has been very complicated for JaF and for Al Nusra.

So until you get grip about the actual situation, you should keep calm and try harder. The message you posted about Russia "losing" reliability, comes at the heels of ultron getting the boot for a week. 1+1=2.

IS launching a huge offensive on the T4 airbase. There are lots of Russian helicopters there.
