I think these are the toughest, baddest motherfuckers in MENA right now.

Most of the Twatter folks and Facefuck SAA accounts suggest that Kabani and al-Ghab fronts will be top priority now. I'm not sure if it's a mistake. Anyway if we see Tigers or the 5th shipped there - it'll be confirmed.

It's so nice to see Khan Sheykhoun liberated after so long

I recon this should be their first objective - securing the m5 to Aleppo (red). Then they should secure the land coloured green - providing a route to the coastal regions and ensuring that the Russian bases are safe.
What do you guys think they'll do?

>>239424
That's definitely the most convenient path, but i think politics will get in the way of it.
We don't know if Russia is willing to push their luck with the t*rks right now and their main objective is taking Jabal Zawiya/Latakia to stop the drones and artillery from hitting Hmeimim.
They are bombing south east CS of Marat al-Numan though, we'll see if the offensive continue now that HTS are thoroughly exhausted.

MOSCOW, August 22. /TASS/. A naval group of Russia’s Northern Fleet has crossed the Strait of Gibraltar and entered the Mediterranean Sea as part of its deployment in distant waters, the Fleet’s press office reported on Thursday.

>"A group of the Northern Fleet’s ships and support vessels led by the missile cruiser Marshal Ustinov has entered the Mediterranean Sea through the Strait of Gibraltar," the press office said in a statement.

The Russian sailors will make business calls at foreign ports and conduct various drills, including naval exercises for inter-operability with the warships of other Fleets within the Russian Navy.

The missile cruiser Marshal Ustinov will soon replenish fuel supplies from the medium oceanic tanker Vyazma. The sailors will also hold anti-submarine warfare and anti-subversion drills for the defense of a group of warships during anchorage in an unsafe roadstead.

The missile cruiser Marshal Ustinov left the home base of Severomorsk on July 3. Over this period, the warship’s crew took part in Russia’s Main Naval Parade in St. Petersburg on July 28 and in the Russian Navy’s Ocean Shield 2019 large-scale drills.

>Army broadens scale control in the southern part of Idleb Province and inflicts heavy losses upon the terrorists

Army units continued military operations against Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist organization and the affiliated groups in the areas of Khan Sheikhoun and al-Tamanaa.

News reporter said that army units clashed with terrorist groups affiliated to Jabhat al-Nusra on the frontline of strategic Tal al-Rai area located between the towns of al-Tamanaa and Morek, leaving many of the terrorists either killed or injured.

The reporter clarified that army units targeted the terrorists’ movements at the outskirts of Khan Sheikhoun area, destroying vehicles and killing many of the terrorists.

In parallel, heavy losses were inflicted upon the terrorists in weaponry and personnel after intensive operations of the army against the terrorists’ fortifications at the outskirts of Maaret al-Numan, Tarmala, al-The and Maarshrin in the southern part of Idleb province.

I don't understand why the T*rks are being such a hindrance. I thought they came to a deal with the SAR last year, whereby Turkey would ignore the SAA BTFOing HTS in exchange for Turkey being allowed to BTFO the Kurds without Damascus intervening (America notwithstanding). Turkey's only influence on this war has been in preventing mad gains and it's really starting to annoy me tbqh.

With Sayyad under SAA control, Kafr Zita has fallen militarily, there might be some suicidal radicals here and there but largely it seems the reports of the towns being deserted is true and there is barely if any resistance, just SAA combing the places in a slow pace so as to avoid ambushes.

reporter said that army units established control over Khan Sheikhoun city in Idleb southern countryside, combed the city from terrorists’ remnants, and continued the operations to the south towards the terrorist organizations’ positions in Hama northern countryside, restoring control over Latamina, Kafar Zita, Latmin, Morek , M’aerkaba ,and al-Lahaya owns after clashes with Jabhat al-Nusra terrorists.

Some sniper loot, the FAL and polymer SVD are neat.

Hama city was out of range for howitzers and old GRAD rockets before the offensive, but Hama city can still be reached with modernized GRAD rockets and drones that are usually aimed at Hmeimin but target Hama airport as well now and then (far too pricey for targeting civilian infrastructure).
Pro-SAA/RU media loves bringing up the Christian cities in northern Hama being targeted and now being safe because it showcases that the opposition is "literally al-Qaeda and ISIS that wants to eradicate Christians" (in many aspects they are), an excellent propaganda tool to justify the offensive to anyone that isn't "literally al-Qaeda and ISIS".
This is the only reason why you hear about Hama being safe from rebel shelling.

Sorry, Snus - I was merely repeating what others said, I bow to your superior knowledge in this matter.

The next move (granted there isn't a Rus-Tr agreement leading to another post Abu Duhur-tier snoozefest) will be Rakaya and Kafr Sejna.
From there it's either north Ma'arr Zita->Kafranbel or west Shaykh Mustafa(will fall with Kafr Sejna)->Naqeer->Aryna->Ba`rabu->Tarmala->Jabal Shahshbo.
Screencap this.

>>239748
Dream scenario:
If Russia feels like humiliating the t*rks further, going north for Maarrat al-Numan, and SAA can spare the offensive manpower, they could launch offensives on two axes - from Kfar Sejena to Kafranbel and Khan Sheikhun to Talmenes, eventually meeting south of Maarrat al-Numan and creating another kotel.
Disclaimer: The competent units of HTS have been thoroughly exhausted during the latest offensive but the condition of Ahrar al-Sham and Suqour al-Sham (big (or atleast used to be) in the Maarrat al-Numan area) is largely unknown since they operate under the NLF banner now.
If NLF aren't as exhausted as HTS and would actually put up a fight, the al-Tah->Talmenes front might have similar results as the Sukayk front.

>>239756
>creating another kotel

I think maybe for a while, but RF is really determined to deal with the jihadi problem in Syria. They later run away and radicalize Ruskies in RF, they pound Hmeimim I think it's enough for Putang to keep up the ops.

>>239894
As am I Snus, as am I.

>>239895
>I think maybe for a while
At this point, halting the offensive even a week for anything other than letting the t*rks leave their observation posts or SAA needing a break/regrouping/consolidating gains would be cucking in my book.
The offensive to secure Hmeimim, opening the M-5 and removing jihadis from the demilitarization zone is already entirely justified in accordance with the agreement, letting the exhausted jihadis regroup now because of Erdogan (who failed to achieve a single objective) whining is unacceptable.

>>239902
>At this point, halting the offensive even a week (...) would be cucking in my book.
Sure I understand your point of view but an official visit (state or official, not work visit) in diplomacy means you have to cuck a bit. It's just how it works. Said week builds positive relation between mentioned countries enough for the diplomats to wank each other - and the offensive can simply resume after some time. Say after they'll shoot Khmeimim again or an Uyghur fuck will stab someone in Moscow metro.
For short: diplomacy is pretty much working the same as it was 1000 years ago. We've just gotta deal with it.

>>239904
I'm scratching my head trying to figure out why Russia is expected to cuck when T*rkey supplied the jihadis with artillery and kornets, sent NLF and TFSA to fight alongside the very jihadis they call terrorists and lets jihadis launch artillery and ATGMs from the vicinity of their observation posts.

>>239908

Because antagonizing major NATO member from it's alliance by selling them RF produced systems requires concessions. If Putang went "fugg you Erdo :DD tage dat OPs from Idleb huehue or else.." finalizing the S400 deal and starting the Su57 deal could become a problem. Meanwhile if they play it soft RF can keep it diplomatical leverage on a major geopolitical goal sacrificing something as tiny as a random grad rocket landing in Hmeimim and an offensive halt for a week or two.

New at-Tanf boogaloo by the way:

>A new demonstration against crimes of Qasad militia in the countryside of Deir Ezzor

Residents of the two villages of al-Azba and M’eizila in the northern countryside of Deir Ezzor held on Saturday a demonstration protesting the crimes of Qasad separatist militia, backed by US occupation forces.

Local sources told news correspondent that dozens of residents of the two villages of al-Azba and M’eizila in the north of Deir Ezzor had come out in a demonstration against members Qasad militia, and chanted slogans that call for expelling them out from the area.

The sources added that residents who participated in the protest had condemned the practices of Qasad militia members, who steal the Syrian oil and property and attack civilians on a daily basis.

>Washington sends tens of trucks laden with military and logistic equipment to separatist Qasad militia

The USA has illegitimately sent a new convoy containing tens of vehicles loading military and logistic equipment to Qamishli city in support of the separatist Qasad militia, which is besieging tens of thousands of civilians in the areas of its spread with a support of the US occupation forces spread in Syrian al-Jazira region.
Local sources from Qamishli city monitored the entry of 200 trucks loading military and logistic equipment provided by the US occupation forces to Qasad militia as they were entered illegitimately through the river crossing of Simalka linking Kurdistan region of northern Iraq with Hasaka province.

According to the sources, the convoy was crossing al-Hilalia neighborhood to the west of Qamishli city, heading towards Ras al-Ain to the northwest of Hasaka city.
On the sixth of this month, the USA entered a 200-truck convoy that belongs to the so-called “International Coalition” from the same crossing to support the separatist Qasad militia.

Washington welcomes increasing rapprochement between Qasad militia and the Israeli entity, as media outlets disclosed an official letter last month that confirms the acceptance of the Israeli “Kahana” Company the representation of “Democratic Syria Council” in everything related to selling the stolen Syrian petroleum by it with the acceptance of Foreign Assets Control Office of the US Treasury Department with giving Kahana the right to explore oil in the Syrian al-Jazira region.

The US forces are illegitimately spread in the northeastern area under the pretext of combating Daesh terrorist organization while there is a close relation between Washington and the terrorist organization.

>Army units continue canvassing liberated towns in Hama and Idleb, uncover tunnel networks

Syrian Arab Army units continued canvassing the areas in Hama’s northern countryside that have been liberated from terrorism, reopening and securing roads, dismantling landmines and IEDs, and uncovering a tunnel network dug by terrorists.

New’s reporter said that army units uncovered caves and a complex network of tunnels that terrorists had dug in the mountains in al-Enz valley, which contained command centers, Western-made supplies and equipment, and Saudi Takfiri pamphlets.

The reporter said the tunnels are large enough to allow vehicles to enter and exit them as well as allowing for hiding heavy vehicles, and they contained fuel and weapons depot which terrorists had emptied out and transported prior to their defeat.

This article seems kind of convincing for me. The meeting could focus more on creating a real constitutional comitee (Ruskies CAN fuck it up and agree to 50/50 opposition seats if t*rks agree for example for the Su57 programme) rather than current Idlob situation.

>MOSCOW, August 23. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet with his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan on August 27, when the latter is on a visit to Russia, Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov told TASS on Friday.

"Yes," he said when asked whether Putin’s plans for that day included a meeting with Erdogan.

The Turkish leader’s visit to Russia and his meeting with the Russian president on August 27 was earlier announced by Reuters.

Earlier on Friday, Putin and Erdogan had a telephone conversation to discuss issues of the launch of a constitutional committee in Syria and anti-terrorism efforts. They also exchanged views on the Middle East agenda and further development of bilateral cooperaton, as well as efforts to stabilize the situation in Syria’s Idlib de-escalation zone.

Earlier, Turkish presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin reportedly said that Presidents Vladimir Putin of Russia, Hassan Rouhani of Iran and Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey would meet in Ankara on September 16 to discuss the situation in Syria. Russian president’s special envoy for Syrian settlement Alexander Leontyev said that the would-be summit would focus on all aspects of Syrian settlement, including humanitarian and political matters, as well as on the situation on the ground.

Adds up:

>Putin, Erdogan discuss efforts to establish Syrian constitutional committee

>According to the Kremlin, the two leaders also discussed the fight against terrorism in Syria, issues facing the Middle East and bilateral cooperation

Last thought for tonight: Erdo's easiest deal ever. ~30000 jihadis have to go somewhere. SDF areas for Idleb? TFSA goes on SDF with RF green light, RF&SAA gets full green light on Idleb. Easy, simple, theoretically profitable for both. Risky as fuck for Syria.

>Nasrallah: We will respond to the Israeli strike in Syria that killed two of our men from Lebanon, not from Syria. The response will not be in Sheba’a [Farms] either. I tell the Israeli army to wait for us on the borders; and *beyond* the borders. This time is different.

>Iraq Shi'ite militia blame Israel for deadly air raid near Syria border

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraqi Shi’ite paramilitary groups blamed Israel on Sunday for raids by unmanned aircraft which they said killed at least one of their fighters near to the Syrian border.

The strikes took place 15 km (9 miles) away from the border, said a statement from the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF), a state umbrella grouping of mostly Iran-backed Shi’ite Muslim factions.

It said one fighter was killed and another seriously wounded. An earlier statement from the PMF’s Anbar operations command said two fighters were killed.

The PMF said two unmanned aircraft had carried out the attack. It accused the United States of providing air support to Israel for the strikes.

A security source told Reuters there were two air strikes, one of which struck the headquarters of a local paramilitary brigade, while the other struck a convoy of cars leaving the building.

In Jerusalem, an Israeli military spokeswoman declined to comment.

The attack, which took place in the afternoon, happened after a series of explosions in recent weeks at weapons depots belonging to Iran-backed PMF groups.

The militias have blamed Israel and the United States for some of the attacks. The Pentagon has denied any involvement.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hinted on Thursday of possible Israeli involvement in the recent destruction of PMF weapons depots in Iraq.

“We are operating - not just if needed, we are operating in many areas against a state that wants to annihilate us. Of course I gave the security forces a free hand and instructed them to do anything necessary to thwart Iran’s plans,” he said.

>Lavrov: Syrian Army’s liberation of its territories backed by Russia isn’t considered a violation of any agreements

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov affirmed that terrorism’s hotbed in Idleb must be eliminated.

In a press conference with his Angolan counterpart in Moscow, Lavrov said that ” the schemes of the US administration in al-Jazeera region target the unity of the Syrian territories and constitute a violation of the Syrian sovereignty and a breach of the international law.”

Lavrov added “The Syrian Army’s liberation of its territories from terrorism backed by Russia is not considered a violation of any of the agreements, including those of Astana and Sochi as the agreements exclude the terrorist groups.”

Unidentified airstrikes have reportedly targeted Iranian militia positions near Al Bukamal. AA gun fire can be seen

Confirmed now that there was at least one airstrike in Bukamal. Iranian-backed militias then fired back with 23mm cannons. Nothing was shot down.

>Iraqi Officials Say Israeli Strikes Are "Declaration Of War" - Demand US Forces Exit

One of the obvious and expected consequences or instances of 'blowback' from Israel's unprecedented decision to extend its "anti-Iran" campaign into Iraq, with three airstrikes widely blamed on either Israeli drones or possibly F-35s in the last five weeks, is that it will force a deepening conflict between Iraq's military and US coalition forces.

There's long been a broad base of Iraqi support that would like to see the American presence completely out of the country with the Islamic State long defeated, but now that political bloc just got a lot stronger in the wake of the alleged Israeli raids, at least one of which US officials have already admitted Israel bore responsibility for (a July 19 attack on a Popular Mobilization Forces base in Amirli). A powerful pro-Iran faction of parliament has called Israel's alleged attacks "a declaration of war".

The Associated Press reports in the aftermath of yet another Israeli drone strike targeting and killing a Kataeb Hezbollah leader in al-Qaim, Iraq near the Syrian border that, "A powerful bloc in Iraq's parliament is calling for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq following a series of airstrikes blamed on Israel targeting Iran-backed Shiite militias in the country."

The influential and powerful Fatah Coalition, representing the country's pro-Iranian Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) issued a statement Monday holding the United States responsible for facilitation Israeli aggression on Iraqi soil, “which we consider to be a declaration of war on Iraq and its people,” the statement said. The statement noted further that American troops are no longer needed and only now serve to jeopardize Iraqi national security.

PMF commanders and officials have over the past weeks been the most vocal part of Iraq's military and government blaming the recent spate of devastating attacks on Israel; however, following last week's explosion at a base outside Baghdad - believed the result of an Israeli airstrike - it appears this view is now gaining support even from the prime minister's office amid an ongoing official investigation into the blasts.

Last week Prime Minister Abdul-Mahdi had called for an end to all “unauthorized flights” including US drones, spy planes, jets, or helicopters. The directive demanded that all aerial vehicles comply with Iraqi law and operations must be under Iraqi government authorization.
