Syrian War: News #22

Whole lot of stuff on this airstrike a couple of days ago at this link. Looks like what could be a major munitions dump.

Update: #Tadmur, #Syria, alleged Airstrikes affiliated to the #IDF on the 20th April 2020 against #IRGC targets. After looking around the area in the centre of Tadmur I didn't notice anything obvious (I'll go back and check again) however, moving North due to reports I noticed...

They cannot do it, they have a very loose group on the rebels.

Not saying they want to but the rebels would just tell them to take a hike, You need to understand this. The rebels know, the Turks need them for their political goals, so the rebels aren't inclined to lesson if they don't want to.

Just like with those joint Patrols, the Turks told them to stop making problems, the rebels told them "F off, we will do what we want"

This is a brazen attempt by Turkey to annex parts of Syria. Why not a single use of the word "annexation" by the mass media?
If Crimea where the vast majority of residents wanted to return to Russian jurisdiction is "annexation", then what
is this Turkish operation? Charity?

Just a reminder of where things are currently for when things kick off again. There is some continuing skirmishing taking place.

The ideal situation would be to move up north, the problem for the SAA is their numbers problem have shown.

Last time they tried they left areas lightly defended not by choice and the rebels took advantage of those attacking areas where the SAA was weak.

Now add in increased Turkish vehicle and infantry, the SAA will have a hard time. The Turks have shown they will strike back just as hard against the SAA if they attack their troops. 10K guys isn't a joke that's a HUGE number for the SAA.

The SAA isn't going to have it easy here at all. Their chances of liberating Idlib are getting thinner and thinner.

Wonder why the US is dropping supplies at night. Are the supply lines that vulnerable?

On Friday night, the American occupation forces carried out an "airdrop" operation in the area near the water reservoir of the village of "Ghariba Sharqiya" in the north of the governorate,

Turkey sacrificed hundreds of lives in Syria. No way Turkey will allow SAA to take M4 highway. The sunk cost has been too high for Turkey. Especially now Turkey's economy is in the toilet because of virus.

This is exactly what Erdogan wanted. Russians simply won't be allowed on M4 highway.

Syrian air defences

The war in Libya, and the huge flow of money that Turkey gets from it and which it desperately needs is of course a major reason for the large increases in Turkish troops in Idlib. This is due to the Turkish Army being replacements for the terrorists they send to Libya, said terrorists would not go if they felt that they were needed to protect their families.

Another bebeficial byproduct to the Turks is that it increases the risk of a direct Russia/Turkey confrontation, a risk that Erdogan is playing against the Russians hence the delay on anything happening re taking control of the M4. The longer the Turks get to dig in the harder it will be to get them out without a major escalation which will get the US panting to get in. Notice the US moves back towards Tabqa this week?

However the Turks are now running out of terrorist volunteers so out come the press gangs.

The Jisr-press website, citing its sources, claims that curators from the Turkish special services demanded by order of the Jeysh al-Sharky and Ahrar al-Sharky groups to provide a list of 500 names of candidates for sending to Libya. Previously, such a dispatch was voluntary.

Wise move, he is a huge PR target. A message that the Russians are staying for a while then.

Hmeimim and Tartus are permanent Russian bases. They already signed a contract for leasing the bases for a long period if I'm not wrong.

They will always have some S-400, sukhois, tu-214 and A-50 there. Tartus will be used to have a permanent Mediteranean force. We could even expect some new orders for frigates for the black sea and some kilo from the northern fleet to be sent there because the ones in the Black sea can't go out, only for repairs.

Not content with sending his proxies to Libya, how about this? More Turkish troops into Idlib to replace them?

I know that, mine was more a comment on the direct support of the Russians into the SAA and in particular on this one man, a national hero.

The frigates can get in/out at will, only the subs are trapped.

Not sure who is bombing Israelis, didn't think anyone was. Don't think they have a bat in hell's chance of getting the Iranians out.

At some point someone is going to have had enough and will knock an IAF plane down over Lebanon.

The "bombing of Israel" in the past has been some the launch of single MLRS or home-made rockets that land randomly near some northern Israeli
village. Supposedly there were actual deaths from such attacks over a period of 10+ years. These attacks were useful pretexts for "retaliation"
in Gaza and southern Lebanon. Today any "bombing" would be from ISIS controlled territory near the Golan Heights. Given how friendly ISIS is
with Israel these would be pure psyop false flags.

Israel does not have a case against Iran. Support for Hezbollah is not support for terrorism. Hezbollah fought a legitimate resistance war against
Israeli occupants in southern Lebanon and succeeded in driving them out. Including the 2006 re-invasion. Hezbollah never staged any attacks
on civilian aircraft or there transport and any civilian infrastructure. Hamas did bomb buses in Israel. Western fake stream media never gives
their sheeple media consumers a clear picture and context. They deliberately obfuscate terrorism by some dubious elements and all Muslims who
resist their agenda. Iran is being victimized by Israel since, like Russia in the face of NATzO, it fails to submit.

Get Iranians out militarily!  But how is this possible? Iran helps build school. Student learns physics. Builds a Rocket!  So stupid to try to divide military from non military. Not possible. Also not possible to keep Iran out altogether. Therefore not possible to keep Iran out militarily.

Attack Israeli citizens. No do not agree. Better hit TV station and power. No casualties. And maximum political pressure on Zionist to stop war. Like Turkey recently. No need to cause casualty. Just stop them cooking their shish kebob. And watch Eurovision song contest with Usrael  singer. No need to kill anyone.

Looks like some kind of US buildup. Perhaps this is an overflow, they don't have enough room in their safe bases in Iraq for them.

Helicopters of the American occupation forces transport military equipment to the Al-Omar oil field in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor very intensively, carrying out sorties that numbered nearly 60 sorties, with a convoy reaching the field containing about 300 trucks, inc ammo and armour.

All quiet on the Idlib front apart from local spats.
