IS VBIED successfully repelled by Turkish APC

humanity was a mistake

Why would western media give "positive" PR of Syria ?

It is the same media that started the deamonization of Assad.

After watching Hyper normalisation, I learned that the opinions of western media is absolutely worthless since they are ever changing, depending on the orders of their masters, as demonstrated by the example of Gaddafi, in the mentioned documentary.

If I remember correctly, first he was demonstrated as dangerous, then a good guy, then the fake chemical weapons, the. The previous good guy became a dictator who had to be destroyed.

>repelled
So the APC sacrificed itself? Seems a waste when you could just use turkoroaches to shield the vehicle.

Oh yes, that was totally thanks to the APC.

waste of bullets

I dunno man we've got a pretty shit track record since ww2, as the guys always eager for war but unable to win one. We don't even have the biggest one anymore, China does.

...

How long will it take Turkey to capture Al-Bab?

It is actually synthol. Those guys are pretty much dead men walking.

r8 this.

1) SAA starts campaign from Suwayda towards the desert, and reaches Euphrates from Aleppo.
2) Moves north and takes gas fields.
3) Reaches Raqqa, preventing K*rd farm animal from land-grabbing, and connects to Aleppo front.
4) Having another supply route to Aleppo, ditches Ithiria road and lets the IS around Hama have access to Greater Idlib.
5) IS fucks up the Idlib rebels as many of them defect to their side.

let's hope these anti-ship missiles aren't as good as reported
USA could be in trouble if the navy is out of the equation

>Americans winning wars

Lol gaddafi didn't kill literally half a million people and he was fighting the Muslim brotherhood backed by Qatar and CIA

Gaddafi was a hero not a murderer like assad

In 1933 Hitler proposed sending all the German Jews to Madagascar, gentelman of Berliner Tagelblatt called him an arrogant cretin, and poof, Shoah :^(

>Now you have the option to cut the supply lines and everyone of them becomes a suicide bomber in a SVBIED or
You have the option to leave them a corridor to retreat so when they run out of ammo/manpower/medicine they can regroup at alBab.
I mean you dont need to capture it.

Set up 5-6 MSTA artillery to the west of the city and 5-6 more to east of the city.
And shell them for 4-6 hours a day, 4-5 days in a row from different sides.
youtube.com/watch?v=oAD-P6oJXfg&t=114s
They will either die, or will be forced to go on suicidal attack to get out.
Whats the NATO analog of MSTA? Paladin? Not sure if turkish Firtina will do, probably it is also fine.

Instead they are doing that autism for 3 months, almost like every building there is a historical monument.

>K*rd farm animal
I rate it Turk/Kosem
Haha the only war they won made owning niggers illegal lel

(I know).
Actually a sweet piece of land. bigger too. but black people would have been an issue, like the Palestinians.
Should've gone to Argentina.

Turks are just scared to face ISIS in urban combat.

You are a very, very weird person

very good.

if i ask you 'do u still beat your wife when u drunk?'
what are u gonna say.
in the bants world making a response is difficult, I suppose you would say something like 'i have never beaten my wife and I don't drink'. But the average joe is going to waste time on saying silly things like I didn't.....U didn't what? You didn't stop beating her?'

In the same way amnesty has presented heresay. I doubt the Syrian government response would get any air time at all.
The news report might say, government responses have been deemed to lack credibility, and leave it at that.
It's a game that they have been set up to lose.
And it's a game they don't have to spend resources or time on. If Amnesty have a case it will end up in a court somewhere sometime and be examined by experts. If amnesty has no case then the syrian government has spent it's time on more important stuff that matters.
And amnesty will look stupid. Because one day, when amnesty says something like 1 million iraqi's died as a result of the us led invasion, some american politician is going to say, but didn't amnesty lie about Syria? These people are not credible. It's true.

I hope for amnesties sake that they have a credible story.

But for the syrians, the court of western manipulated public opinion, is not a court they care about. Whatever they say will just be twisted, or dismissed without being shown.

Yes.

Anyone have a reliable estimate on IS' numbers in Syria. No autismo claims of 150,000 or more. Their numbers have to be hurting after mosul, DeZ and raqqa offensives

See this youtube.com/watch?v=i302vaHNiZs
Their tunnels are deep, reinforced and possible to be hit only by some sick amount of thermobaric shelling/air raids and contrary to popular belief civilians still live there - you can guess how thermobaric shelling would end in that case.
Maaaybe if Turks gave these to FSAlqaeda (no media shitstorm about muh Turks killing civilians), but I don't think giving Jihadis advanced MLRS would be a good idea, it would probably be used against SAA sooner or later.

Gaddafi didn't even get a chance to murder anyone.
Lybia had no allies.
He was an extremely easy target, and for some reason, the Clintons wanted Lybia so bad.

I see, I don't know a lot about military hardware but they still could be dangerous in theory i guess

>american intelligence
>american intelligence community

That is why it is easy to advance there. FSA fags took huge swathes of it in like days.

Army must have roads and supply routes Mehmet, sending them in a desert and forcing them to march through it is not a good idea.

China has more hardware and men than we do m8, that's just a fact. The only argument to be made is wether we have have quality over quantity and after decades of pork barrel spending on ridiculous projects im not sure it's safe to make that claim.

Anyaways I prefer Jerusalem being shared by Jews, Muslims & Christians than only in Arab hands.
Disgusting thought, blergh.
But Madagascar really wasn't a bad idea, at these times no one knew what genocide means and blacks were treated like circus animals, so it was indeed possible.

HEY EVERYBODY

LETS STOP FEEDING MALAYSIA TROLL TREATS

They tried 1) last year, it did not work for them very well. And this was before ISIS went full retard with their meme tactics.

Reminder that Gaddafi hosted Idi Amin Dada for 10 years.
But the reason he went down was estabilishing a gold-backed currency & abandoning the standard of petrodollar.
Fuck US, international terrorism desu

Yeah it's great from a practical POV but no historical ties etc.
Honestly should've gone with the H'aavara agreement.

And if he did it would only be islamists
He was a good man
Fuck hillary

You think my views are weird that's fine

Well those shelters are looking solid, but because the city is small, it is actually a trivial task to destroy the buildings with the enrances.
And you dont need to kill them all in the shelling, 50-70% would be enoth.
But yeah i got your idea, iam just really confused why the "turkish army" is using a strategy of a small islamic warband.

>hardware
Yeah they have lots of crap that doesn't work, no navy, and an airforce that Japan could beat.

I don't know how you could be this bluepilled about China and post on /sg/ It's just embarrassing.

Also US military spending has been declining since 1992

I tend to think that the reason Gaddafi went down was that he was a dude who lost a war against motherfucking Chad of all countries. He had problems up there, I'm tellin' ya.

It's alaways too late

entrances*

Isn't the equipment of the average US soldier 15 times more expensive than the chinese ones?

He is not qn intelligent man. He was jerked like a puppe.

I don't think the gold thing was ever implemented.

>Developments Feb 13
Also
>ISIS BTFO Kurds in Western Raqqa
>Iraqis completed preparations to storm West Mosul.

Realistically three more weeks of heavy bombing and offensives should finally take it for good

>Gaddafi went down was that he was a dude who lost a war against motherfucking Chad of all countries.
Gaddafi went down was that he was a dude who lost a proxy war against motherfucking France and the USA in Chad of all countries.*
but still,fucking chad

I'd imagine that's a low ball. All our projects are vastly more expensive than they should be.

They have more planes and boats than we do, though a surface navy is a bit outdated at this point. They also have far more people willing to die for a cause and enough nukes to assure we wipe out most of mankind should we ever engage in war.

Why not? This war is long out of its gorilla warfare phase.

What? They didn't try to advance in Suwayda the last year.

Digits confirm :^)
>the "turkish army" is using a strategy of a small islamic warband
I thought about the strategy of using Jihadi proxies and things that come to my mind are:
>wasting rebel manpower instead of sending them to Idleb
>trying it out for the first time, they didn't know what will happen and plans for Euphrates Shield were made about 4-6 months before the operation
>it was a pressure from Putin to not use TAF for this operation to not directly endanger Assad's authority

IS nignogging in Nigeria

Relate in the OTHER section for precise casualties of YPG.
You may be right, I really hate US and blame them for everything bad that happens :3

Nice account, don't report & follow, maybe some combat footage will come.

Yeah, that french chopper that crashed almost as soon as it showed up surely won the war for the Toyota People.

Thnx Poland was looking for this video

>Russia: Lavrov expects ‘close, much more efficient cooperation on Syria’ with Trump administration

youtube.com/watch?v=bbDkbTlrBdE

Chances that Isis will cut the long route are like 90%.
They are trying to cut the only road to Aleppo like once every week.
>wasting rebel manpower
Gotta agree that it is good Bogumił, i was just deluded enough to await some army action.

Sorry then.

Make sure to stay hydrated.

>They didn't try to advance in Suwayda the last year.
Correct

But if SAA moves with a column from Sweida towards Abu Kamal then there are 2 events we have to keep in mind
1 (trigger warning) Tabqah offensive
2 NSyA raid to Abu Kamal

There in the desert, a column of vehicles can get easily rekt by ISIS. And, you need eyes over the border as well as Iraqi desert/Qaim are very close

You would need proper Russian cooperation, good coverage and airforces standing by.
Hilariously, the USAF told the NSyA that theyd be standing by, but they ended up being busy elsewhere and this is one big reason why these merc goons got rekt by ISIS

It's time to go home.

yeah not in the toyota wars ( except for some surprise raids on libyan air bases but this is unconfirmed) but france intervened like 2 times in the 70s
also send french foreign legion to chad in the earliest conflicts

Was the battle of Dara started by the rebels or the Government. Who is winning?

If the "army action" will come, it will be related to Euphrates Sword, aimed at Afrin & Manbij, and it will be a blood bath both for regular TAF conscripts and Rojava Kurds, but so far we can still hope for a peaceful solution.

The hell is up with the KSA? Do they really need to bring their fucking goats to battle with them?

That road is pretty thin.

>Tabqah offensive

That was a long salient. I am talking about cleaning the whole desert of IS, all of the painted parts.

Also NySA are a bunch of retarded inbred mongs, pretty sure even SAA are more competent than them. Since Iraqi desert is about to be cleared soon, it will be even easier to defend the territory from IS.

whats it like where you live?

>Was the battle of Dara started by the rebels or the Government.
As you may already expect its impossible to say
"they shot us first" is of course said by both sides.

Either way, it seems like the rebels afaik have secured some (minor?) gains in Daraa city

But seriously, the southern front rebels would get slowly but surely rekt if proper forces were sent there.

Very good advice thank you for reminding me
I haven't been drinking enough water, I am too lazy to go to the shop
I often felt dehydrated this last week
But today I went to the shop and bought two litres of water so today I have been hydrated

I will remember to drink water more from now on

Gives them motivation.

Belgian Kurd that u?

Okay fair enough, yeah with a secured southern flank and a broader offensive, with good airsupport, they might be able to get somewhere. but they cant rush it imo

also think itll still take a while before that neighbouring area of Iraq will be fully retaken

>its impossible to say
>"they shot us first" is of course said by both sides.
>Was the battle of Dara started by the rebels or the Government.

Actually it was started by rebels by detonating a tunnel bomb & 2 SVBIEDs driven by Jordanians.
Pic is tunnel bomb under SAA HQ

Comfy. NO electricity at the moment, but router and LEDs are on thanks to a big DC battery that has a seemingly endless life.

Government electricity is on maybe for 6 hours for every 24 hours which is enough to recharge that battery.

No. He doesn't speak like a fanatic

Nope, absolutely not
>tfw belgium flag means PKK shill on /sg/

err Im pretty sure there was talk of some minor clashes back and forth before that, right?

but sure, the actual serious battle was indeed started by rebels, heck as Maghrebi said some sources were stating there was an offensive coming

Can you use the generators that run on oil to produce electricity, or is there an oil shortage as well?

Interesting. Do you play vidya? Weird question but your situation is incredibly interesting to me.

did you hear about Algeria shipping oil to Syria

There is also a belgian Erdogan shill to balance him

>there was talk of some minor clashes back and forth before that, right?
Yes, every few days clashes happened there, altough not in the city itself, but rather on the outskirts.
>Maghrebi said some sources were stating there was an offensive coming
It's true (at least the reports), SAA was prepering an offensive, it was to be led by special forces.

I know, that guy was bragging about how he earned the minimum wage,kek
They somehow never post at the same time

I thought the reports were talking about a REBEL offensive instead
