    Vann, just shut the f*ck up already with your idiotic diatribes. Literally every single line you post is complete bullish*t.

    Nobody is interested in your walls of stupidity.

    I would put you on ignore list but with your amount of spam it would seriously screw up recent-post shortcuts that are already barely functional thanks to Ultron's infinite bot accounts that are already on ignore.

    @Elijah J. Magnier reports Hizb Ridwan force (known from Qusayr operation) and Tigers are now deployed in/around Ramouseh and Artillery School.
    Long fight is expected, but one thing is certain, SAA is unable to fortify, guard and hold major military facilities along the frontline.

    Leith says any reports of the SAA retaking the artillery base are absolutely untrue and that the rebels have lifted the siege and linked up.

    There are conflicting reports , but it could be due to the timing of the information.
    The situation change withing the hour or so . Sidorenko1  for example reported near 1 hours ago
    the Syrian army pushed back the terrorist from Artillery and the other place .



    Ivan Sidorenko ‏@IvanSidorenko1  44m44 minutes ago
    #Syria #Syr #Aleppo #SouthernAleppo Report from last hour #SAA fully recaptured Artillery college & 80% of Arming



    But it remain to be seen when that report was passed to Sidorenko if 8 hour ago or about the
    time he reported it. But i agree the situation is really bad because it can change quickly at any time,if any side sends more forces, but not hopeless for Syria because still Russian airforce can help. real Precision strikes can target positions of the terrorist very close to Syrian army.

    Leith information is usually correct. his problem is however the idiot ignores , the fact
    that battle lines can change withing a hour and switch hands several times. So the reports
    that Syrian army recaptured most of artillery can be true and is not like he made it too look
    that "it never happened." So his foolishness is what makes many times inaccurate his reports.

    In the battle of LAtakia for example ,in kinsibba ,which ultimately Syrian army lost in the end. The town switched hands 5 times in just 3 days. so it was a skirmish.

    So whatever thing is reported now ,in favor of any side, it could totally change in 2 hours or 3.

    What is clear however is that Even if terrorist lift the siege ,they will need heavy man power to really push the Syrian army away of the opened gates. Because to really LIFT the siege the gate needs to be very wide and not withing range of Syrian army direct fire that is 1-3km distance at least. it will not be safe to travel over that gate. as it was not safe to travel over castillo road when they were at same distance of closing the gate.  Trucks cannot travel in and out ,with such tight envelope. So the siege will continue until there is at least 5km gate opened. and it will not be safe to travel if Syrian army have lots of precision artillery withing 10km -15km near with scouts with clear view of the gate.This operation could turn to be very decisive for any side ,because terrorist are using all they have ,and losing too many soldiers for every inch territory taken. and Syrian army casualties have to be high too. probably the most important battle of the entire conflict. If rebels are pushed back , they not only lose the territory gained ,but also allow Syrian army to enter in Aleppo and liberate it using the same gate opened by the terrorist.

    terrorists captured the entire artillery base

    Battle for Aleppo: Al-Nusra Rebels Storm Artillery Base, Claim to Break Siege



    http://sputniknews.com/middleeast/20160806/1044013494/aleppo-rebels-terror-islamists-syria.html


    Looks like a major victory for the terrorist not only military but in PR too.
    they show pictures of civilians celebrating the "liberation of aleppo".

    Rebels captured lots of new ammo ,artillery and tanks. The reinforcements
    of Tiger forces is for nothern aleppo not for the south of any attack from the south.
    Russia is not only aiding with its airforce but is leading the strategy of the Syrian army ,and their tactics,do not work.  is as simple as that.

    Some military planners will have to be replaced in the Russian General staff.
    Their Airforce do it all tactics are obsolete. the ground forces needs to be propertly armed
    to deal with waves of suicide bombers.  Russian tactics of blindly bombing big zones
    hoping that will stop the assaults on Syrian army are obsolete.  Terrorist just rushed to
    Syrian army positions to negate the Russian airforce bombing.

    some footage of the combats , courtesy of alnusra drones. Neutral




    The only positive note in all this is Alnusra lost many fighters ,and will take some time
    to replace them . But also the Northen Siege of aleppo is still going on.. so the terrorist
    will have no supply from Turkey or IRAQ and will need to unblock the siege of the north
    of aleppo too.

    According to leak Jaysh Fateh lost 350 men. That's a small fraction out of 5000 used in the operation. What is worrying is SAA soldiers see the winning side and will join Jaysh Fateh and before you know it tens of thousands of SAA join Jaysh Fateh and that would be big trouble.

    As long as moderate© beheaders™ are sustaining far heavier casualties (human wave attacks) than SAA then this will be ultimately a win. Patience friends. VKS in the attic will keep the pressure on. Some TOS-1 barrages would be nice right about now.

    Problem here is that matters not in the end, the beheaders. Can get all the reinforcements they need from Turkery, SA, Qatar. they got a near limitless supply of men compared to the SAA. So they can afford these human wave tactics all they want. Because they just need to make a call to get more cattle.

    sadly, this is the case, Russia must find ways to sabotage the Jihadi sponsors, make their economy crumble, ferment uprisings, etc, to bog them down and make supporting terrorism in other countries very costly for them.

    More than 50 jihadists were killed close to the Latakian town of Kinsabba that is position in the northeastern countryside of the coastal province.

    It took no more than one hour to carry out this sensitive operation that targeted reinforcements coming to village.

    According to some reports the RuAF are not currently helping out in the Aleppo area, they are active elsewhere. They are leaving Aleppo to the SyAF as part of Russia's move to their assistance being primarily humanitarian.

    Why do you think RusAF is abandoning Aleppo after hard earned gains by SAA has been significantly reduced by Jihadi Terrorists? I really hope this is just a strategic retreat while both RusForces and SAA formulate a plan to massacre the entire Terrorist forces in Aleppo.

    according to southfront https://southfront.org/overview-of-military-situation-in-aleppo-city/

    Jihadi forces after consolidating their gains from recent successes are preparing to push SAA even further. This is a complete disaster if allowed to continue.

    If Russia leaves Syria, then Putin's head will be chopped off by jihadists soon. No way can Russian border guards stop thousands of jihadist SVBIEDs rushing Russia's border in the Caucasus. When jihadists breach Russia's border and enter Russia's major cities, Russia will be in ruins.

    Payback is always a biotch. Americans got what they asked for backing jihadists in Afghanistan. 9/11 is an example

    There can be no effective fire control on the Ramouseh route opened by the terrorists. The area is way too densely built-up and provides cover to convoys. The result:

    Some good news to ease the tense atmotsphere...

    https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/syrian-army-flanks-strategic-latakia-town/?utm_medium=ppc&utm_source=push&utm_campaign=push+notifications&utm_content=English

    Following a successful ambush that left dozens dead and injured, Syrian Army units comprised mostly of the elite Desert Hawks and the Syrian Marines captured Toubal Castle and Huwaysat Shams Mt. in Jabal Al-Akrad region of northeastern Latakia.

    This development allows the Syrian Army fire control over the jihadist stronghold of Kinsibba from two separate flanks, Shillif Castle and Toubal Castle. Kinsabba may fall at any moment now, but should the Syrian Army capture it, the army would have to fortify the overlooking hills to prevent the jihadist forces from successfully launching a counterattack on the imperative village.

    Or you can try to catch some Voltorb in Aleppo.
