Anyways, ISIS claims to have killed 2 russian soldiers today. They posted a picture of one earlier.
It will be interesting to see how much resistance IS will put up in this Hama pocket - from the video yesterday it seemed as if they were well armed and supplied. So far the SAA has captured mostly hills and deserts, but now what's left is some towns - those might be harder to take.
Isaiah Miller
If Turkey decides to support ES forces directly with artillery and Idlib Rebels join, they can crush SAA in Northern Aleppo. They are struggling in the deserts d Tigers lost hundreds of men, these losses are irreplaceable for Syria.
Erdogan should stop being a dumb nigger and must do it before losing this war.

Which would you guys say is the most effective and elite force in the Syrian war? I can be a government, rebel, al-qaeda, sdf or isis group, doesn't matter. No foreign (russia, usa, etc) group.

Not much information about the incident, but it seems exaggerated with 300 MIA. If captures or killed ISIS would definitely have showed pictures/videos or similar like earlier.
>Furthermore, the 300 military personnel that have been reported missing are only declared ‘MIA’ (missing in action) due to their failure to report to the SAA’s command in the region.
>The source concluded that communication lines in southeast Raqqa are poor and most of the missing military personnel are tribal fighters from the area.
...because the earlier offensives in said areas have worked so super well?

Maybe now but that's that's definately not true if we take 2014-2015. The amount of shit they captured from the iraqi army and SAA during their blitz days was insane.
Hell, if you look at the Raqqa video yesterday they still captured a fuckton of crap from the SAA.
And despite all the foreign funding ISIS still probably has fired more ATGMs than the rebels did overall.
Jacob Murphy
Perhaps so but they are also the worst at the politics of war. you need allies or at least the ability to make temporary truces and so on to enjoy any lasting success.
terrorizing the rest of the world while engaged in battle with all the other factions in Syria/Iraq = a fucking disaster. It's almost like they've read Hitler's book of "How to make Friends and Influence People"

unrelated >Outrage after Japanese Deputy PM says Hitler had ‘right motives’
Japan’s deputy prime minister, Taro Aso, is in hot water after suggesting Adolf Hitler might have had “the right motives.” He was criticized both at home and abroad, with the US-based Simon Wiesenthal Center saying the remarks were “downright dangerous.” “I don’t question your motives (to be a politician). But the results are important. Hitler, who killed millions of people, was no good, even if his motives were right,” Aso told a meeting of his faction of the governing Liberal Democratic Party on Tuesday.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center, a global human rights organization which confronts anti-Semitism, hate and terrorism, said Aso’s comments could spoil Japan’s reputation.
“This is just the latest of a troubling list of ‘misstatements’ and [they] are downright dangerous,” the center’s head, Rabbi Abraham Cooper, said in a statement on Tuesday.
“These words damage Japan’s reputation at the very time when all Americans want to show their solidarity with Japan, our sister democracy and ally, following the missile launch from Kim Jong-un’s North Korea,” he added.
Kazunori Yamanoi, chairman of the main opposition Democratic Party's Diet Affairs Committee, said Aso's remark was "a serious gaffe."
The comment "was extremely shameful as one made by a Cabinet minister. I cannot help but question his competence (as a minister)," he added, Kyodo news reported.
Still don't understand how you can have such a low morale. I just figured that the fact you would be fighting radical head choppers trying to invade your home should at least give you the courage to fire some shots at them and blow your equipment before retreating.
Kek, would love to see a antifa foreign group fight with the rebels.

They wouldn't be ISIS if they did that.
You do understand that the government probably has the highest amount of foreign fighters out of all the groups in this conflict? Unlike the rebels/ISIS/YPG foreign fighters for the government are sponsored by Iran and can freely come in from Pakistan/Afghanistan/Lebanon/Iran/Iraq. Infact the amount of foreign militias the loyalists have ammounted over the years is quite impressive.
IIRC the government imported 40k foreign fighters to syria in 2016.
ISIS/rebel foreign fighter inflow has pretty much stopped after the heavy security crackdown across the world.
As for the YPG i'm not sure but im pretty sure it's not that easy to get into their area with Turkey around. That said, i remember that like half of the dead from the Taqba offensive were from Turkey, so clearly they have alot of foreign fighters too.

US-led coalition hits IS fighters on way to meet evacuees The U.S.-led coalition on Wednesday struck vehicles containing Islamic State fighters who were travelling towards the area of eastern Syria where a convoy of IS evacuees from the Syria-Lebanon border is standing, the coalition spokesman said. The spokesman, Colonel Ryan Dillon, said earlier that coalition jets had also struck a road and bridge to block the convoy of evacuees, including fighters and their families, from travelling into IS territory from Syrian government territory.

Sore at Macron’s ‘dictatorship’ criticism, Venezuela blasts France Venezuela accused France on Wednesday of joining an “imperialist” campaign after President Emmanuel Macron portrayed the socialist government as dictatorial. Macron on Tuesday called President Nicolas Maduro’s administration “a dictatorship trying to survive at the cost of unprecedented humanitarian distress.” Comments “like this are an attack on Venezuelan institutions and seem to form part of the permanent imperialist obsession with attacking our people,” the government said in a communiqué responding to Macron. “The French head-of-state’s affirmations show a deep lack of knowledge of the reality of Venezuela, whose people live in complete peace,” the statement said. It added the assembly and upcoming state elections demonstrated the health of local democracy. (Reuters)
Is there anybody except Merkel who is not angry at macron's statements?

US sends extra fighters to police Baltic skies during Russian exercise The US has sent a reinforced detachment of fighter planes to police the skies over NATO members Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia during a major Russian military exercise in the Baltic region next month. The Zapad war games from September 14 to 20 in Belarus, western Russia and Russia’s exclave of Kaliningrad, have caused unease in the region, though Russia has said the large-scale exercise will rehearse a purely defensive scenario. Seven US F-15C fighters landed at Siauliai airfield this week to patrol skies over the Baltic countries, three more than normally used since the NATO policing mission was upgraded in 2014. “We are glad to also have additional land troops here,” Lithuanian Deputy Defense Minister Vytautas Umbrasas said, referring to 600 extra US airborne troops being deployed during Zapad in the Baltic states.

US-led forces launch airstrikes to stop ISIS reaching east Syria – coalition A US-led coalition conducted airstrikes to block a convoy of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) fighters and their families from reaching IS-held territory in eastern Syria from the Lebanese border under a truce deal, a coalition spokesman said on Wednesday. IS fighters had surrendered their enclave straddling the Lebanese-Syrian border and departed on Monday for eastern Syria under the deal with the Syrian army and Hezbollah. (Reuters)

Egypt puts more than 350 people on terrorism list Egypt has put the names of more than 350 people, including prominent Muslim Brotherhood figures, on its terrorism list. The designation, announced over two days this week in the government’s official Gazette, bans those on the list from travel, puts them on a watch list and grants authorities the right to freeze their assets. The decision, subject to appeal within 60 days of publication in the Gazette, includes Muslim Brotherhood financier Hassan Malik. Earlier this year, Egypt put some 1,500 others on the list. (AP)

Pakistan National Assembly condemns Trump’s ‘hostile’ comments Pakistan’s National Assembly passed a resolution on Wednesday condemning US President Donald Trump’s accusations that Islamabad was prolonging the war in Afghanistan, denouncing them as “hostile” and “threatening.” Foreign Minister Khwaja Asif Asif urged the government to consider postponing any visits by US delegations to Pakistan or by Pakistani officials to the US and closing off “ground and air lines of communication through Pakistan.” Pakistani officials and media have also raged about Trump’s calls for India’s increased involvement in Afghanistan. Asif termed an increased role for New Delhi in Kabul “highly detrimental to regional stability” and accused India of supporting terrorism and “destabilizing politics in the region.” (Reuters)

After 100 days, Philippine army says ‘last stand’ near for Marawi fighters One hundred days after militants loyal to Islamic State took over parts of a southern Philippine city, the military is confident the end is in sight for what has been its biggest security crisis in years. After a lightning strike on May 23 on Marawi City, the Dawla Islamiya rebel alliance has held out against daily artillery bombardment and airstrikes by jets and bombers. But now, says Romeo Brawner, deputy commander of the military’s Marawi task force, rebel-held areas are shrinking, and there are signs the fighters are low on food and ammunition, and starting to flag. “Hopefully, the Marawi siege is going to be over within the next few weeks,” he told reporters. “Their strength continues to decline.” The military has missed repeated targets and deadlines to crush the rebels, whose strength and resolve it accepts it has under-estimated.

NATO sending 3 monitors to Russia’s ‘Zapad 2017’ drills but wants more NATO says it will send three experts to observe military exercises involving Russian and Belarus troops next month but wants the two countries to allow broader monitoring of the war games. Russia and Belarus say the Zapad 2017 exercise will involve less than 13,000 troops. Under international rules, the two should allow wider access to monitors if troop numbers exceed that figure. A NATO official said Wednesday that experts will attend “Visitors’ Days” in Belarus and Russia, after they were invited to attend. He said international rules permit monitors to have “briefings on the exercise scenario and progress; opportunities to talk to individual soldiers about the exercise; and overflights of the exercise.” Zapad starts on September 14.

UN chief calls for lifting of Gaza blockade UN chief Antonio Guterres called for the blockade of the Gaza Strip to be lifted Wednesday as he visited the Palestinian enclave. “I am deeply moved to be in Gaza today, unfortunately to witness one of the most dramatic humanitarian crises that I’ve seen in many years working as a humanitarian in the UN,” Guterres said. He later said it was “important to open the closures,” in a reference to Israel’s decade-long blockade of Gaza and its border with Egypt that has remained largely closed in recent years. Guterres’s trip on Wednesday marked his first visit to Gaza since taking office, as international concern grows over electricity shortages and deteriorating humanitarian conditions in the Palestinian territory.
