>>222915 → sure but what about strategical placement why give for free something that you hold successfully? >inb4 incompetent logistic meant it was easier to give the position that supplying it
>>223071 >this was a travesty compared to previous offensives The SAA offensive will reignite im sure of it and a reminder that SAA used to lose several towns in counteroffensives such as these back in the days.
>>223076 That wasn't an FSA counter offensive. It was a FSA offensive that turned into an SAA counteroffensive where the SAA gained more land than initially under control. Bad example >Last and best FSA Hama offensive imo though
>>223076 What Hans >>223149 said, plus it's a travesty considering the success at Dara'a, and the fact that there are only three fronts left compared to the dozens of fronts back in 2014-2017: Idlib, Tanf, and Euphrates (takes less men to defend than open space). Yes, I'm leaving out Euphrates Shield and Olive Branch for obvious reasons. This translates to more manpower, and consider that this manpower has years of combat experience and the SAA was rebuilt from the ground up to be more in line with Russian military doctrine. So we have >SAA with much more manpower in one area than was possible even one year ago >SAA with years of combat experience and Russian training >SAA with much more firepower than any faction save for foreign military. >A proven track record of major success, even to the point of clearing out an entire front (Dara'a) in a single month >A precedent of reducing Idlib front by a third last year The only thing I would credit to their difficulties other than too much R&R is the mountain terrain; but then we look at Latakia offensive in 2015, the pockets in mountainous regions near Damascus, the Lebanese border, the area around Palmyra, Aqribat salient, Jabal Bishri, the rough and volcanic terrain (not Safa) in SE Rif Dimashq.
So with all that in mind, capturing Qala'at al-Mudiq and Kafr Nabudah (later lost to counteroffensive) plus a few villages after three weeks is pitiful compared to past successes. Especially the successes of 2017-2018. Unless it was all a test to see how Turkey would react to SAA advancing uncomfortably close to one of their OPs.
>>223178 >Unless it was all a test to see how Turkey would react to SAA advancing uncomfortably close to one of their OPs. Forgot to add, SAA even bombarded the immediate area around one of Turkey's OPs, causing the Turks to medevac wounded out of there.
>>223178 It's obvious this isn't THE Idlib Operation. Behind closed doors issues must exist. This is where a US level Media would be great to inquiry and peer into every single aspect of Turkish and Russian administrative actions. Both nations have worse mediae than the US though. (worse solely in what I mean they are, not some further objective sense of better or worse). Probably better to dip and wait till the OP promised for as early as August (September originally) 2018 actually starts.

Tensions have been soaring between the United States and Iran over the past few weeks since Washington bolstered its military forces in the Middle East in what White House National Security Adviser John Bolton has called “a clear and unmistakable message to the Iranian regime”.
Additional deployments include a carrier strike group, Patriot missiles, B-52 bombers and F-15 fighters, according to the Pentagon.
Syrian Army moves towards Idlib province after capturing Kafr Naboudeh: map
ith Kafr Naboudeh under their control, the Syrian Army will now make a push towards the Idlib province. In doing so, the Syrian Army will have to capture the large hilltop of Tal Sakher, which overlooks Kafr Naboudeh from its eastern flank.
If they are able to capture Tal Sakher, the Syrian Army can finally push to capture the town of Al-Hobeit. The aforementioned town has long been under the control of Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham and its proximity to the strategic city of Khan Sheikhoun makes its capture all the more important.

Jihadist forces kill several Syrian Army soldiers in ambush attack in northern Latakia
BEIRUT, LEBANON (9:35 A.M.) – The jihadist rebels carried out a deadly ambush in northern Latakia on Wednesday, killing and wounding several soldiers in the process.
According to a military report, several Syrian Arab Army (SAA) soldiers were killed when a jihadist group loyal to Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham ambushed their positions in the Al-Qal’at Mountains.
Syrian, Russian jets attack militant strongholds in southwest Idlib
BEIRUT, LEBANON (10:20 A.M.) – The Syrian and Russian air forces resumed their airstrikes over the Hama-Idlib axis, targeting several areas under the control of the militant forces in northwestern Syria.
According to a field report from nearby Hama, the Syrian and Russian air forces heavily targeted the Jabal Shashabo region of southwest Idlib, hitting several sites belonging to the Turkish-backed National Liberation Front and Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham.
Syrian Army offensive in northwestern Hama has been halted
BEIRUT, LEBANON (11:45 A.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) offensive in northwestern Hama has been halted until further notice, a source from the military told Al-Masdar News this morning.
According to the source, the Syrian Arab Army has not received any orders to advance from either Kafr Naboudeh or Qal’at Al-Madiq in northwestern Hama.
The source did confirm that a large number of reinforcements had arrived in northwestern Hama recently but added that they have not received any further orders.
Another source from the army said that the Syrian military is awaiting the green light from the Russian Armed Forces, who were in talks with Turkey about Idlib.
>>223849 they're trying to ruin such a kino trilogy >The scene starts off with a big explosion in a country in the Middle East. After the explosion occurs, we are taken into the perspective of a female child who is stuck under all of the rubble caused by the explosion. The explosion was a drone strike (by I believe Russia). She is panicking and yelling for help. Another girl is stuck next to her but unresponsive. She tries to push around the fallen rocks and cement slabs off of her, but she is too small. We then hear someone come from above them and remove the rubble to see the girl stuck in there. Frantically, many more people come to remove the remaining rubble (even using a saw at one point). Once it’s removed, they pull the girl out, and she goes to her father’s hand, who starts asking where is her brother. The other girl with her in the rubble does not appear to survive. Now, another airstrike drops on the location. >The father picks up the girl and they both start running to find where her brother is. The sister says the brother stayed at home to study, so he wasn’t with her. They have to get back home to find the brother, but during the run back, Russian soldiers come in on vehicles, jump out of the vehicles, and just start shooting everyone — you can hear women, children screaming not to be shot; men and women yelling in pain. The father puts the kid down and tells her to follow behind him. As they start running and getting closer to their house, the Russian soldiers throw some sort of nerve/lethal gas. They bust inside their house, shut the door, and find the brother. They converse about what they must to do next (and the girl/boy are given cell phones). The father reveals that their mother has been killed. The father hands the boy a gas mask, tells him that the daughter will be okay without a mask right now, and prepare to leave.

Russia will then get to make another stealth from it.

Hearing word that Russia, Syria and, to a lesser extent, Iran, are bombing the hell out of Idlib Province in Syria, and indiscriminately killing many innocent civilians. The World is watching this butchery. What is the purpose, what will it get you? STOP!
>The Syrian army and allied forces, in the morning, stormed the town of Qasabiya at the junction of the provinces of Hama and Idlib. The fighting continues.
If I can interrupt you /sg/ folks for just a moment. A couple months ago, I asked if any of you might be willing/able to write a player bio for Syriana for the 4cc /pol/eague. /pol/eague 4 is in 2 weeks, and I was hoping to get some ideas, because all her bio says right now is "Barrel Bombs anyone?"
>>224241 If they go for Maghr Hammam, I would expect them to go eastwards, but they could also be securing high ground for an advance north by doing that. Too unclear right now.
>>224299 I dunno Snus, I think it might be a way to flank the high grounds of Jabal Zawiya from three sides and add pressure onto the defenders there. Or it could simply be probing to see which side is weaker (Jabal Zawiya or Khan Sheykhun) while advancing towards areas that allow a flanking position against both - to keep the Jihadis on the "horns of a dilemma" as to which area to defend.
>>224300 Shit, I just thought of this: what if the Turkish OPs are the real target of this operation? What if the SAA is advancing against them to the point of openly bombarding them(!) to see how the Turks will respond before going all out against Idlib? Take note: the Turks have already abandoned one OP because it was too close to the frontlines, and the SAA has directly attacked (artillery firing right at it) the next one on Jabal Zawiya with silence as the only response from the Turks.
>>224299 As a lurker who only occasionally follows the goings-on in the thread to cheer on the SAA, can I ask what the story behind this pocket is? I understand desert fighting is a completely different beast from urban warfare, but it just seems odd to me that there's this seemingly random-as-hell green pocket on the border in an otherwise completely red part of Syria.
>>224300 >I think it might be a way to flank the high grounds of Jabal Zawiya from three sides and add pressure onto the defenders there I'm thinking this aswell. >>224301 >the Turks have already abandoned one OP because it was too close to the frontlines Which one?
I can recall seeing a pro-rebel map showing Al Humayrat as under SAA control a week or so ago, an explanation as to why we've never heard the village mentioned could be that "humayrat" doesn't exist (maybe it's just a part of the Tell Hawash village), all the online maps have been completely wrong on the names of several villages in this area. http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=35.460216&lon=36.454933&z=16&m=bs&show=/21151370/Al-Humayrat

>>224336 what is the point of this? Tigers jsut flexing their muscles? where is the goal in this? It's not heading for a specific town or taking the hills and I doubt these are The essential areas from where the dron attacks originate from either.
>>224337 Within Syria is suggesting that these are responses to the opposition firing artillery at gov held towns and some other dude said it's to build a buffer around Kafr Nabudah. If it's neither of those in the long run and it's an actual offensive, based on the latest trajectory it seems like they're heading for Jabal Zawiyah from the east (specifically the Jabal Shahshbo portion of Zawiyah). They obviously wanted to advance up the mountain from Qalaat earlier (so the theories that thees advances are just reactionary are bogus imo) but failed so it's reasonable to assume that this is another try.
>>224337 >I doubt these are The essential areas from where the drone attacks originate from either Wasn't that the Jisr al-Shughur area? To take that they either need the k*rd mountain in Latakia (trying) or the western part of Jabal Zawiyah (overlooking the Ghab Plains).

The Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) offensive in northwestern Syria is back on after the Turkish and Russian armed forces failed to reach terms for an open-ended ceasefire.
Instead, both parties agreed to a brief 48-hour ceasefire to reopen a humanitarian crossing near the town of Morek in northern Hama. The humanitarian crossing was reopened, but the ceasefire would not last for more than 12 hours.
According to a military source in Damascus, the Russian armed forces gave the Syrian Arab Army the green light to resume their northwestern Syria offensive after the jihadist rebels violated the 48-hour ceasefire by launching a big attack on Kafr Naboudeh.
On Monday, the Syrian Arab Army resumed their operations in northeast Latakia and northwestern Hama, seizing a small town located north of Kafr Naboudeh.
The Syrian Army also attacked the jihadist mountain stronghold, Kabani, in northeastern Latakia; however, this attack was nothing more than testing Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham’s defenses after a two-day-long aerial bombardment of the town.
In the coming days, the Syrian Army is expected to intensify their attacks against the jihadist forces in northwestern Syria, as they look to isolate the Idlib Governorate from the rest of Syria.

The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) launched a new attack east of Kafr Naboudeh on Tuesday in a bid to secure the eastern part of the town.
Led by their Tiger Forces, the Syrian Arab Army began their assault by storming the key hilltop of Tal Sakher, which is located between Al-Hobeit and Kafr Naboudeh.
According to a military source, the Syrian Army is seeking to capture Tal Sakher to prevent any future attacks by Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham on Kafr Naboudeh.
At the same time, the source said Turkey informed their allied rebel forces that Russia will not halt their assault on northwestern Syria. Ankara reportedly told their allied rebel forces that they will provide them with new weapons to fend off the attack.

Interesting detail, judging from the outcome of Harsh Kirkat above Qalaat al-Mudiq (SAA got spanked) and footage of the jihadis using trees as cover from airstrikes, i'd say the SAA doesn't want to go near any wooded area or atleast the jihadis fight extra hard to keep them. Anyways, I get the impression that this is a defensive line and that the SAA will avoid it and just go straight from Kafr Nabudah to Habit. I dunno.

Supposedly Jubbayn has fallen and it was free of civvies before so if it's true then it's probably getting bombed to shit. It just dawned on me that this is the jihadis last shot at averting the Habit-Khan Sheikhoun-Hama salient fall. They obviously can't keep up an offensive so it's all just futile, just look at the amount of armor they're putting into these counteroffensives lately with zero gains.

It's not a suprise tho, even jihadi goathumping, shahada-loving, beard-growing fucks unite when the danger is real. In this context the only thing I'm wondering about is what are the RF diplomatical efforts to stop Erdofuck from supplying jihadis with top-notch turk gear.
Only logical explanation for this offensive is that they found a weak spot in the SAA lines over here (obviously) and were planning on taking Kernaz and Kafr Nabudah from the south wreaking havoc through the SAA's supply line. The elevated platform that Kafr Houd and Al-Judaydah are situated on would make excellent defensive positions towards the south and southwest. Them reportedly hitting the Russians artillery base (supposedly located in Salba) and making the Russians retreat didn't help the SAA either. http://wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=35.334838&lon=36.445706&z=16&m=bs&show=/25663349/Salba Oh well, it seems to have stopped now and they'll probably pull out of the villages they've captured.

>>224696 Hmm, the SAA offensive will stall as a consequence. They have to pull reserves from other fronts now. Wonder how long jihadis will be able to put the pressure on loyalists.
>>224704 >According to G. Roux every tell is. Unless the name "Tell al-somethingi" was given to it by accident. I stand corrected, I'm sure they've hit tells before though. >In this context the only thing I'm wondering about is what are the RF diplomatical efforts to stop Erdofuck from supplying jihadis with top-notch turk gear. I guess they'll allow SAA to bomb the observation posts, but i agree there should be more of a reprecussion, esp considering t*rk supplied GRADs were used to shell Russian army artillery point at Salba.
>>224707 I doubt they'll stay and fight for these villages for long, they'll probably return to SAA control before tomorrow morning. I'm definitely expecting the push on Habit-Khan Sheikhoun to happen very soon.
>>224709 >esp considering t*rk supplied GRADs were used to shell Russian army artillery point at Salba. Ruskies usually respond to this kind of situation seriously. Their personel is pretty much like USofA, one death is wtf Putang etc. so they'll probably send a note and maybe give green light to a Buratino or something. >>224705 >The elevated platform that Kafr Houd and Al-Judaydah are situated on would make excellent defensive positions towards the south and southwest. Eh, the planning was careful and reasonable. Even Sun Tzu in his work said that open terrain is easy to attack and impossible to defend and vice versa with covered terrain (mountains/hills). >it seems to have stopped now and they'll probably pull out of the villages they've captured.

>>224712 >By the way since the niggers got Malhama training and turk guns they've started to behave like a serious force, not goatfucking captagon-takers anymore. HTS are still acting as goatfucking captagon-takers and NLF (TFSA) are providing support with advanced weaponry. Pretty efficient force together initially but as can be seen, NLF's lack of captagon-bravery is evident and hampering the progress.
>>224711 >I doubt they'll stay and fight for these villages for long, they'll probably return to SAA control before tomorrow morning. Yeah, agreed 100% >I'm definitely expecting the push on Habit-Khan Sheikhoun to happen very soon. You think so? I'm quite sure SAA command in this situation issued an order to reinforce all the weak spots with all the possible reserves and as a result of this - the op on Khan Shiekhoun/Habit will stall. Anyway I thought the same way in strategic sense. Expected a koteling experience like pic related.
>>224716 Ze Shahid Captagon Experience >>224714 >HTS are still acting as goatfucking captagon-takers and NLF (TFSA) are providing support with advanced weaponry. Interesting combination.

Interesting combination, seems to be working. For now.
>>224715 We'll see how long the battle here will last, in the end SAA will just pull in more reinforcements to guard this front and the Tigers will continue working towards Habit before long. >Expected a koteling experience like pic related Definitely, i haven't seen any reports of SAA gathering at the Atshan/Sukayk front though.

Yeah, jihadis will have to evacuate through al-Tamanyia area in this case. >>224721 Khan Sheikhoun is a fucking nightmare to hold, given someone captures it from south-west. Loyalists do have to capture it from south-west. Agricultural works of VKS are not an option in this case, the city is too large. Tricky location to take.

>>224669 >>224670 >HTS involved today during the counteroffensive in Northern #Hama. Atleast 3 MBTs and loads of APCs have been used by the jihadis today. Considering how few armored vehicles they actually have left, this was big and the aim was definitely not to get bogged down after 3 villages.
>>224726 Intense work of VKS is the magic. Terrain is tough, hope they'll plan the advance well after the front near Marhadah stabilizes. Fucken Syrian conflict, makes me stay late night lmao
>>224727 >Atleast 3 MBTs and loads of APCs have been used by the jihadis today. My guess is these are Nusrat-driven. In this case they're literally showing: here, bomb these, we won't get anymore, so we're fucked after we lose these. I think jihadis don't plan offensives like normal military. They say "oh my shahada dream" and push all the armoured stuff into the frontline with hope of killing many kuffar and dying in the process. Fucking weirdoes.
>Terrorists target Mharda, Jabin and Tal Melh with rocket shells, Hama countryside
Terrorist groups shelled citizens’ houses in a number of cities and towns in Hama northern countryside, in a new violation of the de-escalation zone agreement.
reporter in Hama said that terrorist groups positioned in Latamina town and its surroundings fired on Thursday rocket shells on the citizens’ houses and their properties in Mharda city, Jabin and Tal Melh towns in the northern countryside of Hama.
The attacks caused materiel damage to the properties.
The Syrian Arab Army’s units operating in Hama northern countryside responded to the sources of the rocket shells with artillery strikes and a barrage of missiles, destroying a number of the terrorists’ launchers , killing and injuring scores of them, the reporter added.
Later, reporter said that the terrorist groups attacked with rockets Hayalin town in Hama north-western countryside.
>Army units destroy dens of Jabhat al-Nusra terrorists in countryside of Hama and Idleb
An army unit destroyed with missiles command centers of Jabhat al-Nusra terrorists in Maartherma town in Idleb countryside, killing dozens of the terrorists. SANA reporter said that army’s artillery targeted fortifications of the terrorists in al-Latamina town in the northern countryside on Hama province, destroying their dens and killing many of them.
>>224730 >My guess is these are Nusrat-driven Yup these two are but there was an NLF (possibly jaish al izza) tank aswell. Jaish al Izza are extremely tight with HTS, not moderate at all and often lends fighters to their offensives anyways. >I think jihadis don't plan offensives like normal military. They say "oh my shahada dream" and push all the armoured stuff into the frontline with hope of killing many kuffar and dying in the process. That might be the thought process of your average jihad drone but the people in command are definitely smarter than that.
Food for thought: a reason SAA are having trouble is because they’ve opened up only one front, thus the Jihadis are able to group up their available manpower to defend just one area, whereas their defense wouldn’t be as effective defending multiple fronts.
Snus, serious question for you young guy. Why didn't you join academic institution so far? For example here, in Poland, your skills of analising the conflict would make you a great addition to our universities.
>>224734 >That might be the thought process of your average jihad drone but the people in command are definitely smarter than that. So why the fuck are they sending all their armour on an offensive they know will get countered soon like a good chess party by aviation and ATGMs? It doesn't make sense to me. Commanders are shahada-mode too. >>224736 >a reason SAA are having trouble is because they’ve opened up only one front Not really, SAA is engaged on many fronts. We're just following the main developments, but divisions from 1 to 7 are working from Aleppo, through Abu ad-Duhur to Jishr ash-Shugur.
>>224736 Yup. Besides, the durkas have had years to prepare for this and all of the green bussed fuckers had to be fought in the end. >>224738 Depression.
>>224740 Eh, poor argument. Niggers everywhere, shit country, I get it. But come on, I'm a fucken Jim Lahey like drunk and I'm PhD since many years, you, with your age and skills, could make fantastic analisis of the syrian conflict, especially that we have amazing staff here. Waste of talent. Did you read the bible? Probably yeah. There's this story about Jesus giving talents (gold coins) to three people. One burried it in the ground. Second invested it and lost it. Third invested and multiplied. Than Jesus comes and sayz: you silly fuck, you burried it in the ground, but you are ok boyz, at least you've tried to invest it, no matter you've lost. Wise story.
>>224739 I don't believe these counteroffensives are just chaotic zerg rushes with no other purpose than "yolo lets get martyrdom and kill kuffars", i think they are putting all their chips in the area on halting the SAA with a decisive victory instead of fighting a retreating war only putting one tank on defense every third village or so. It's a fool's errand but they basically have no other option than to strike big and if that fails, fight guerilla style with infantry and ATGMs for every village. Maybe this is T*rkey's idea, i don't know, but they sure are desperate in their quest to keep the Hama salient from being liberated.
>>224741 I'm just a pampered zoomer and deeply cynical about this world, i have serious doubts any institution in Europe would pay for an anti-semitic nobody that's against the establishment and doing 75%+ guesswork in his analysis.
>>224742 >I don't believe these counteroffensives are just chaotic zerg rushes with no other purpose than "yolo lets get martyrdom and kill kuffars" These attacks are pretty much pointless assaults. What are they counting for, US intervention? They know they're doomed (commanders), they're throwing everything to Hama in hope US intervenes. Loos at TASS or RIA, they're publishing stories about jihadis planning chemical attacks everyday. The jihadi commanders cannot have any hope of overtaking Syria, it's retarded. You might be right that it's Erdo's idea to play as much as he can, influence the situation and gain geopolitical lever following the success of jihadi advances.
>>224716 >2nd wave also ended in utmost disaster. SAA stands firm, HTS along with Turkish backed rebels are throwing whatsoever they have at their diposal. And airforces are obliterating jihadists all over the battlefield
>>224739 >Not really, SAA is engaged on many fronts. We're just following the main developments, but divisions from 1 to 7 are working from Aleppo, through Abu ad-Duhur to Jishr ash-Shugur. Really? Because if they're engaged on many fronts then why so little coverage of action on said fronts in a nation that has a spotlight on every bloody square inch?

>Russian forces withdraw from base in northern Hama after jihadist attack BEIRUT, LEBANON (12:30 A.M.) – The Russian troops have withdrawn from their base in Tal Salba this evening after the jihadist rebels launched several artillery shells towards their positions.
According to a report from the front, the jihadist rebels of Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham began hammering the Russian base at Tal Salba in northern Hama after seizing several sites from the Syrian Arab Army (SAA).
The Russian Air Force has responded to these attacks by launching heavy airstrikes over the Hama-Idlib axis; this has temporarily halted the jihadist shelling on the Tal Salba area.
The Russian military has a large presence inside the towns of Mhardeh and Al-Sqaylabiyeh; it is very unlikely that they will be withdrawing from these government strongholds, as thousands of civilians live there.

>Syrian Army rolls back jihadist gains, nearly all territory retaken
BEIRUT, LEBANON (10:10 A.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has now retaken almost all of the territory they lost to the jihadist rebels last night, a source from the military told Al-Masdar moments ago.
The source said the Syrian Arab Army recently just expelled the jihadist rebels from the key hilltop of Tal Malah. Tal Malah overlooks the main road linking the two government strongholds of Mhardeh and Sqaylabiyeh.
Since they launched their counter-offensive, the Syrian Arab Army has managed to retake the town of Kafr Houd and the large hilltop of Tal Malah. The Syrian Army is now attacking the small town of Jibeen, which was the first site captured by the jihadist forces last night.
Despite the successful counter-offensive, the Syrian Arab Army still suffered a large number of casualties the night before. According to a source, the death toll from the jihadist attack has exceeded 30.
>The aim of this militant offensive was to postpone a new SAA push - the eradication of Jaish al-Izza from the north of Hama. >They will probably open a new axis at night. https://twitter.com/Bosni94/status/1137015024680153088
>>224880 Say what you want about units other than Tigers, but 4th is called armoured for a reason. Tough nut to crack for the jihadis. Wonder what counter-measures they take against opponent with such large ATGM supply.
Pro-jihadist pages: >"URGENT - we ask all those within close proximity to Maraat Al Numan to make their way to the national hospital to donate blood for your brothers on the frontline in North Hama" Also similar message regarding Khan Shaykhun and Ariha
Seems the number of wounded is very high on the jihadi side.
>>224884 >So Assad can stay now according to Saudi?Or just hate for Turkish backed Jihadist? Probably a mix of both. Last year during this OPEC shitshow and Qatar blocade Saudis changed their approach to Assad. They also hate on Turkey for working with Qatar and supplying different jihadis than they did themselves.
>>224887 > Last year during this OPEC shitshow and Qatar blocade Saudis changed their approach to Assad. I remember that. All that news about UAE and other Arab countries that follow KSA working to reopen their embassies in Syria. But didnt the Syrians reject any kind of support from KSA and refused to listen to their demand of getting the Iranians out of their country?
>didnt the Syrians reject any kind of support from KSA Yes, Zarif I think? Syrian MoFA head anyway said they do not want to be friends with someone who ruined their country or along these lines. Can't remember the source tho I'm not sure about the part with Iran, haven't heard about it >>224890 Thanks, that explains why they're driving SVBIEDs into SAA lines.
>>224889 >>224890 They had a scuffle during the HTS offensive against NLF in Jabal Shashbo but it ended with HTS promising to supply them with more arms. Officially they're neutral with each others but the durkas on the ground are definitely friends.
Dont know how truthful it is considering the source but despite that would you say KSA might willing to forgo Iranian part as long as the Turks and Qataris are kept out of Syria?
>>224892 >Thanks, that explains why they're driving SVBIEDs into SAA lines All groups in Idlib are pretty much united and won't fight each other right now. Also, the SVBIED was destroyed before reaching it's objective according to pro-SAA reporters.
My football representation playing tonight, gonna hit a pub with boyz Thanks for keeping the war alive on the interwebz lads, always nice to talk about the conflict with fellow interested people
>>224897 After this failed offensive, do you think there is a chance at another jihadist "civil war"? Or do you think that since Turkey is pumping in so much supplies to them, they will stay united? So far it looks like their "alliance" is extremely shaky and after their offensive stalled, HTS immediately started pointing fingers. Don't get me wrong, this offensive did show that they had capabilities to at least hit a syrian aircraft, so the "sending a message" MIGHT have meant something.
>>224899 >After this failed offensive, do you think there is a chance at another jihadist "civil war"? I think the threat of SAA advancing further will stop another jihadi civil war for now.
>>224904 I don't think the quantity of jihadis is the issue for them, seeing as tons of the nations rebels were bussed there, it's the quality of the men that is lacking. Most of them are too cowardly to fight until death in towns the size of Kafr Nabudah even with years of preparations of defenses and favorable topography.
Decent documentary showing how European arms shipped to KSA and UAE got in the hands of Abu Al-abbas jihadis fighting against houthis https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkUv2R97I-Y
From what I've gathered, the situation is something like this. Dark red = aprox. SAA lines two days ago. It's clear that their plan of taking Kernaz and Kafr Nabudah failed horribly and that Russia now has a clear justification for taking the Hama salient.
>Russia now has a clear justification for taking the Hama salient Taking that into consideration, recapturing Jubbayn now seems like a waste of time, they should just reinforce the current frontline and go for Habit.

Turkey and Russia have failed to reach an agreement on a ceasefire inside the Idlib Governorate of northwestern Syria, the Syria-based Al-Watan newspaper reported on Monday morning.
Citing opposition sources, Al-Watan said the negotiations stalled between Turkey and Russia after the latter asked Ankara to hand over the Jabal Shashabo region in northwestern Hama.
In addition to handing over Jabal Shashabo, Turkey would have to withdraw from its observation post in Sher Magher, which was allegedly a major issue for Ankara during the negotiations.
The publication said the goal of the negotiations was to secure the Hmeimim Airport in southwestern Latakia, along with the Christian towns of Al-Sqaylabiyeh and Mhardeh in northwestern Hama.
Handing over Jabal Shashabo would be a major blow to the jihadist rebels and the Turkish-backed National Liberation Front, as it would leave the Syrian Arab Army in prime position for a future offensive in Idlib.

Hm, the frontline is pretty dead. Only targeting of jihadi movements with a kitten sanctuary here and there. Guess both sides bled out badly and need time.
>>225216 wikipedia states (using mainly the notorious source) that the KIA is over 1k now, when combining both sides. That's - by feel - at least slightly higher than the average for Syrian War casualty rate.

It is probably mentioned here, but my searchfu failed me, so I will do as the department of redundancy and post anyway. Just became aware of some week old news, that because it is good news have traveled slowly to my attention. The OPCW report on the "chemical attack" have finally been proven to be the hoax all reasonable persons knew it to be.
>Leaked OPCW engineering report concludes alleged 2018 chemical attack in Syria was staged
>Last year, the Working Group on Syria, Propaganda and Media (WGSPM) research group reported on alleged chemical attacks in Douma last year and elsewhere during the US-led proxy war for regime change in Syria. >Authors Paul McKeigue, David Miller and Piers Robinson have now examined a leaked engineering sub-report from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) confirming their exposure of propaganda concocted to support the war. >Taken together the findings “establish beyond reasonable doubt that the alleged chemical attack in Douma on April 7, 2018 was staged.” WGSPM conclude that staging this incident “entailed mass murder of at least 35 civilians to provide the bodies” at one of the locations. http://archive.is/aaSrA
>>225312 Recent satellite imagery shows how the frontline probably is. SAA positions are clearly visible under the red line and the jihadi positions are fucking obliterated.
Final autistic snusmaps on Latakia, checkmark = village with known status, question mark = unknown territory. After Zweiqat it's all downhill northwards and that's why the jihadis are fighting so hard to keep it.

>>225319 Syrian Army captured nearly 200km jihadist-held territory in northwest Syria: map
BEIRUT, LEBANON (5:30 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) offensive in northwestern Syria has been nothing short of bloody; however, in the end, they have managed to seize a large chunk of territory from the jihadist rebels.
Since they lost their offensive in early May, the Syrian Arab Army has captured approximately 200 square kilometers of territory between northwestern Hama and southwestern Idlib.
Among the areas captured by the Syrian Arab Army since early May are the towns of Kafr Naboudeh, Al-Qasabiyah, and Qal’at Al-Madiq.
>>225309 still only leaked though. One might want to perhaps naively hope that if the OPCW came out and officially anounced the chemical attack as staged (as Russia is pressing it to do) then by the grace of God perhaps the western media might mention the chemical attack(s) as fake. :) >>225377 >ceasefire going into effect in northern Hama. nice. so new FSA offensive inc, right?
#SAA advances since the start of the operation in northwest #Hama and southern #Idlib comparing the militants advances in recent week. As it clear, the Syrian Army managed to liberated more important and strategic points in the area.
I have spent an unreasonable amount of my time arguing back and forth with myself as to whether a US invasion of Iran would actually happen. Given that no one wants it and they know that it would represent the end of the mutt as a world power. But in the end Israel is playing the game again, they of course don't fucking care about the safety of a golem so long as it removes their enemies as it was forged to do. This golem will then be replaced by the new insurgent 'nationalist' Europeans that have aligned with Israel. The most important thing for the anti-Zionist to do in my opinion is to fight against pro-ZOG parties in Europe and the other areas where such policies are being pushed (Brazil) with all fervor possible.
War is going to happen, and it will be fucking incredible.

>>225480 Whenever Assad "drops chemicals again," I am fairly confident it's fake, like it normally is, but I don't have the same level of certainty with this one (maybe 70% rather than 98% sure). Are there any arguments that we have apart from the fact that Iran doesn't have the motive, but Israel/US have every motive? ie: Is there any hard evidence yet?
>>225680 There is some stuff that is happening but it isn't the same so far as the gas attacks which were demonstrably and provably false from the information given by the people who wanted to shill it. In this case it just doesn't make any fucking sense in any fucking way. Not that this is actual 'hard' evidence but it's more than just cui bono if only a little more. As we have seen the Iranian and Jew narratives both seem a little weird and obviously contradict each other, we should know the truth in a few days. Of course it is however obviously a ruse and in my eyes cui bono is more than enough to be reasonably certain.

BEIRUT, LEBANON (10:30 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) launched a powerful offensive in northwestern Hama on Saturday that targeted the strategic hilltop of Tal Malah and the nearby town of Jibeen.
At the start of the offensive, the Syrian Arab Army was able to score a swift advance at Tal Malah after the Russian and Syrian air forces hammered the hilltop with relentless airstrikes.
However, the Syria Army’s success would not last for long, as a swift counter-attack by the jihadist rebels would force the government troops to withdraw west in order to avoid suffering more casualties.
According to a field source, at least five soldiers were captured during the attack and 17 soldiers were killed. Another 15 soldiers were also wounded, the source added.

According to a military source in Mhardeh, the Syrian Republican units from Aleppo and Damascus made their way to the Kernaz axis in northwestern Hama as they prepare to take part in the next Syrian Arab Army (SAA) offensive in this area.

Syrian Arab army on Tuesday engaged in fierce clashes with terrorists of “Jabhat al-Nusra” and other factions affiliated to it which attempted to infiltrate and attack military posts in the direction of Tal Malah in northern Hama.
SANA reporter said that the clashes ended up with foiling the attack, killing and wounding several terrorists and destroying an armored vehicle, ordnance, and cars, some of which equipped with machine guns.
In the northwestern direction, the army units also foiled an attack by terrorists of the so-called Hurras al-Din (religious guards), “Ansar al-Tawhid” and “al-Ezza brigades” on the military points across Wadi Othman.
The army units destroyed a booby-trapped car for terrorists before arriving to its goal and killed a number of terrorists.

>>226382 Aye, doubt the US and allies will try to take the place. But what I find to be of interests is that would these cells avail the limited opportunity to fuck around as much as they can (most likely increased raids and IED attacks rather than full on assaults because I doubt they have such numbers and as you have mentioned PMU is ready to help out) in the ensuing confusion and degraded security situation after the strikes (of course assuming the strikes do take place here) hence the question regarding their numbers. Thanks for the insight though.

"President Obama made a desperate and terrible deal with Iran - Gave them 150 Billion Dollars plus I.8 Billion Dollars in CASH! Iran was in big trouble and he bailed them out. Gave them a free path to Nuclear Weapons, and SOON. Instead of saying thank you, Iran yelled 'Death to America'.
I terminated deal, which was not even ratified by Congress, and imposed strong sanctions. They are a much weakened nation today than at the beginning of my Presidency, when they were causing major problems throughout the Middle East. Now they are Bust!
On Monday they shot down an unmanned drone flying in International Waters. We were cocked & loaded to retaliate last night on 3 different sights when I asked, how many will die. 150 people, sir, was the answer from a General.
10 minutes before the strike I stopped it, not proportionate to shooting down an unmanned drone.
I am in no hurry, our Military is rebuilt, new, and ready to go, by far the best in the world. Sanctions are biting & more added last night. Iran can NEVER have Nuclear Weapons, not against the USA, and not against the WORLD!"

>Sources confirmed that, in case of war, Iran aims to stop the flow of oil from the Middle East completely, not by targeting tankers but by hitting the sources of oil in every single Middle Eastern country, whether these countries are considered allies or enemies. The objective will be to cease all oil exports from the Middle East to the rest of the world. (X) They wouldn’t hit allied oil sources, or halt their own exports because that would cut up their economy. I expect oil sanctions on the US imposed by Iran instead - do not trade oil with the Great Satan and his allies or we will halt your production for you - over just unilateral halting all oil flow in ME. That would give the oil producers time to think about whose side they really want to be on.

Iran activated air defenses in Syria after learning of US attack: report
BEIRUT, LEBANON (11:30 P.M.) – The Iranian forces in Syria activated their air defenses after learning of the U.S. planned attack, the Russian publication Avia.Pro reported on Friday.
According to the Russian publication, the Iranian forces learned of the U.S. planned attack and prepared for their air defense systems for the confrontation.
Prior to this, a source from the Syrian military in Damascus told Al-Masdar that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had placed their troops on high alert near the border city of Albukamal.
>>226507 Heh but I’m thinking in the case of all our regional war against US it will go something like this: Iranians send boots on the ground in Afghanistan to assist the Taliban takeover due to both having a common enemy. Govt flees because they’re already having a hard time against an insurgent group and are completely unprepared for fighting a well-equipped, well-manned, well-supplied, and fresh Iranian Army that is determined to kick NATO out of Afghanistan, leaving NATO behind to fight them alone like SAA had the tendency to leave Russians and Hezbollah behind to fight a Jihadi attack. The Iranians will go in three prongs: north starting from Herat and going up along the northern section of the ring highway. South starting in Zaranj and going down along the southern section of the ring highway. A smaller central force starting from Zaranj and going for Farah then advancing through the central Afghanistan mountains via the central highway from Shindad-Chagcharan-Kabul highway. They then converge at Kabul while allowing the Taliban to pick off govt pockets within the countryside, and capture the city, and go wherever they are needed to secure Afghanistan. By the time they reach Kabul, they have already shredded most of the govt military/administration and the Taliban already controls most of Afghanistan after picking off isolated and vulnerable pockets by the end phase of the operation (capturing Kabul). Your thoughts on what Pakistan would do in a hot war with Iran, Pingu? I can’t imagine they would just stand by and do nothing while a regional war with far-reaching repercussions happens right next to them. Especially since US has repeatedly tried to fuck over Pakistan and would be in a far better position to do so if they win.
>>226630 I doubt that Iranians would ally with the Taliban openly. If anything, they might make some sort of non-aggression treaty and Iran might capture a buffer zone from the Afghan govt/NATO, plus provide the Taliban with intelligence and materials. Why would Iran care about capturing Kabul anyways?
The main regional target for Iran will be KSA and UAE
>>226630 >Iranians send boots on the ground in Afghanistan stopped reading here boots on ground isn't even their MO look at iraq and iran, the troops they send are military advisor and the grunts are local shia at best advisor but even this would be too much considering that ultimately, although sharing the same enemy, iran and taliban will never be strong allies and pakistan will reap all the political alliance benefits at iran's cost iran won't bother investing in this relation with taliban without a guaranteed return on their investment plus they'll overtly associate with a terrorist organization which is something that'll hurt their international image, military advisors are easier to deny

Jihadists suffered heavy losses during failed northwestern Hama offensive: video
BEIRUT, LEBANON (8:20 A.M.) – Last Thursday, the jihadist rebels of Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham and their allies from the Turkestan Islamic Party and National Liberation Front launched a powerful offensive in the northwestern countryside of the Hama Governorate.
Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham began the offensive by storming the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) positions at the town of Jalameh near the Idlib Governorate border.
The Syrian Army managed to beat back the jihadist rebels at Jalameh after a short battle on Thursday.
According to a Sputnik News Agency correspondent, “The Syrian Army forces were able to thwart an attempted attack by militants on the axis of the town of Jalameh in northwestern Hama on Thursday. Several armed groups from Turkestan and China attacked the positions of the Syrian Army on this axis, resulting in the loss of more than 25 gunmen, a tank and several vehicles armed machine guns.”
Syrian military expanding operations to southwest Aleppo: report
BEIRUT, LEBANON (11:00 A.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) is reportedly expanding their operations into the southwestern countryside of the Aleppo Governorate, the Syria-based Al-Watan newspaper reported on Sunday.
According to the publication, the Syrian Arab Army has recently targeted the jihadist supply lines inside southwestern Aleppo, hitting major bases like Regiment 46, which is located just north of the Idlib Governorate’s border.
In addition to the strikes on Regiment 46, the Syrian and Russian air forces have increased their attacks along the Aleppo-Idlib Highway (var. M-5 Highway), hitting jihadist targets near the ICARDA Farms, Zorba, and Khan Touman.

>>226427 Iran has been placed under sanctions before, it didnt change their behavior. So whats the point to such actions? Do the American really think that this time they have a better chance at destabilizing Iran compared to the previous one's?
But should a war break out I do hope Pakistan gives clandestine support to Iran if not outright one considering should Iran fall and its territorial integrity come under attack then a particular ethnic insurgency that has been plaguing both countries could become a serious problem.

On the other hand do not underestimate various 3 letter agencies. Technology is now much more advanced for example. For me - still won't work. Iran is not Iraq or Libya. Unless someone literally assassinates all the IRGC highest officers and political leadership nothing "game chaging" will happen.
>>227164 >Domestic viewers. Most people are stupid, so that narration works in terms of approval ratings among the conservative electorate. That I do understand. As doc pointed out earlier Trump doesnt want his re-election bid to get spoiled so he wont commit to another Middle East war. Neither does he want to appear weak as that will also affect his campaign. So sanctions are best or I guess it would be more appropriate to say least worst option available to him. What I dont understand the US can clearly see that aside from a few countries most (as in countries that can said to be counted in US sphere of influence) are not happy with these sanctions and are trying to find ways to circumvent them and do business with Iran. Does it not signal to the US that their approach is clearly not working when it comes their international partners?

Now we could wonder, is it in US interest to get along with it's partners? It certainly is, but the global situation doesn't allow US politicians to work towards a reasonable approach in global affairs.

Syrian Army reinforcements pour into northwestern Hama
BEIRUT, LEBANON (1:40 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has continued its military buildup in northwestern Hama, as more reinforcements continue to pour into this area.
According to a report from this front, reinforcements from the Syrian Army and National Defense Forces (NDF) were deployed to the Kafr Naboudeh axis, where they will take part in a new assault against the jihadist rebels.
While the Syrian Army has been able to secure the northern axis of Kafr Naboudeh, the eastern part of the town is still susceptible to jihadist attacks from the nearby hilltop of Tal Sakher.
