I wonder how the Turks will react to this 4D Chess game now that Assad is 100% devoted to rebels.
Tyler Jones
I'm going to bed now. If I wake up to see the counter attack failed and the siege is lifted, I'm blowing my brains out.
Josiah Turner
Wait, what happened?
Josiah Wright
nth for we armed forces now
Angel Allen
>FUCK THIS SHIT EDITION
fucking hell Minnesota you're pathetic, thank god you weren't following during the start of the war, you probably would have killed yourself
Angel Green
SAA lost control of the artillery base and in turn are probably going to lose their control over the Aleppo pocket.
John Hughes
Edrogan too busy arresting his own army, I think he forget they were supposed to be helping the rebel take Isis territory and create a buffer on the border.
Andrew Barnes
EXPLOSION!
Brandon Gutierrez
Does anyone know about the conscription/training policies of the SAA? Are they still doing regular training?
Rebels most likely took the Artillery College and are pushing on.
Nolan Fisher
Just got up, what the heck is going on ?
John Sanders
SAA lost the artillery college, the technical school is being attacked.
Noah Cox
No, they are still fighting over the arty base.
Jace Taylor
> Rebells took
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
John Rodriguez
>offensive failed literally all i have seen of it yet is that rebels are advancing
hopefully they are taking large amount of losses.
Matthew Clark
Merkel pls fix divisionary flag plox
John Edwards
Just being real here. Aleppo battle is over.
Cooper Gonzalez
SAA has been pretty much a militia since 2013/2014 when the NDF was formed up, a lot of the professional military quit/switched sides at the beginning, then through attrition a ton have died, and then you have to take into consideration people leaving their posts because they don't want to fight anymore, that is probably creating a high turn over as well.
I'd argue 70-80% of the SAA is basically militia tier at this point and the rest are the Republican Guard, Desert Foxes, etc.
And yet the rebels control the base, the army is trying to take it back now.
Noah Phillips
falcons not foxes
Brody Ramirez
Now you're being too quick. Several positions have pinged back and forth, including the 1070, Artillery College, Areas around the quarries further outside. It's not impossible for the SAA to take any of it back, especially considering they (just like the other side) aren't as utter shit at attacking positions as they are at defending them
James Brooks
We lost the artillery
James Torres
Handy map for those confused about the arty. college.
No they control the arty college not the arty base. Start reading correctly instead of shiting this stuff in every second post.
Joshua Gonzalez
>No they control the arty college not the arty base.
You're behind buddy, the SAA was pushed out of the compound.
Shits looking grim.
SAA managed to lose one of the most defensible positions that they've had 5 years to fortify against rebels with no heavy equipment and with air support.
Noah Roberts
Maybe it was a strategic error to establish the siege so hastily in the first place. This way the different Jihadi factions had a reason to properly coordinate and also got the initiative.
Tyler Thompson
How many have the Rebels lost in the past few days, and how reliably can they replace those men?
Nicholas Garcia
No one knows for sure, but the rebels have endless man power from what we've seen.
Look at ISIS for example, their casualty turn over must be insane.
The SAA can't afford to bleed men like the rebels do.
Sebastian Morris
Do it Putin, drop some F.O.A.B..'s Scare the shit out of the Nusrats/ISIS/Al-Qaeda/Saudi-pawns.
>but the rebels have endless man power from what we've seen.
Why is this
Kevin Lewis
Breeding like (Nus)rats.
Dylan Sullivan
Because jihadists from abroad plus pissed of Syrian Sunnis make easy recruitment.
Camden Kelly
Rebels have thrown in every soldier in the entire idlib governorate into this battle
Ethan James
religios nutjobs are happy to die and rush in from all over the world to become a martyr
Dominic Williams
Wahabi clones
Isaiah Bailey
foreign fighters. Duh. This is why Ypg push for Al bab is so important in terms of ISIS. to cut their Mujaheddin suply route.
Grayson Jackson
...
Blake Collins
Arab Sunnis have no jobs, education, life prospects etc. Why else would they willingly do suicide attacks or participate in these zergrush offensives?
Gabriel Evans
Just like Germans who heeded the call to come build the reich am i rite?
Owen Long
No they are not. Every single source claims fighting between tech school and arty college.
Ethan Phillips
No comprendo
I thought foreign fighters were mainly going to this islamic state and weren't that much interested in the Syrian Revolution?
Anthony Edwards
Nah, that isn't true, the SAA are trying to get back in, you're reading old news bud.
There are dozens of rebel groups operating in Syria, a lot of them are foreign, but most are Syrian Sunni Arabs.
Michael Torres
No one is interested in the Syrian revolution, everyone is interested in Jihad There are tons of foreign fighters in/allied with the jihadist factions on the """moderate"""" side.
Jaxson Wright
The SAA really need to pull a Stalingrad then.
Political Officers and blocking groups for the SAA when?
Owen Gray
They ar bgetting a constant flow. What people somehow forget to mention is that foreign fighters make for crap soldiers. Thats why they drive vbieds so often. nusra lost s big chunk of its storm troopers in the wttafk and that was something they build up in six years. It is a heavy blow no matger if they suceed or not.
Brayden Martinez
JUST sharia my shit up
So, the tire smoke worked or is there other reason russians didnt manage to give needed air support?
Luke Murphy
Certainly "moderates" get much less foreign fighters than ISIS.
Charles Martinez
How could things go like this?
Brayden Fisher
The officers are the problem, they run first and then the men rout.
Thomas Myers
That would just increase their losses even faster m8, Arabs have shit tier morale already, and most of those guys are milita men or Afghani/Iraqis who don't even want to be there.
Colton Flores
No. The saa holds the tech school and the jihaids tried to storm it. The only "source" that claimed full capture was leith and he is full of shit.
Matthew Butler
Nah, Air support was most likely there, the SAA didn't manage to repel the usual VBIED + mass infantry assault the rebels always use. Kind of pathetic actually
Jaxon Collins
Iran - Russia - Syria relationship is complicated. Their interests diverge.
Grayson Hughes
I haven't been following this for the past few years. But the thought of all the deaths that occur everyday in Syria while I'm sitting at home reading these general threads spooks me.
Brody Ramirez
>(just like the other side)
To be fair, at least the rebels don't need air cover or protection.
But at the same time Rebels are death cultist based on how many times they yell allah ackbar
What this battle really needs is a...
Jonathan Stewart
Nope, you're wrong bud, old info still, SAA are trying to get back in the base proper, they got hit by VBIEDs and lost control.
Nolan Stewart
It turns out air support isn't magic. Shitty ground forces can only be propped up so much.
Brody Edwards
>wttafk care to explain?
Gabriel Brooks
So now rebs have grads and big howitzers? What a screw up by a shitty SAA
Owen Jones
Dude you are in middle east. Had Russian army consisted of Arab like individuals, Hitler would be rolling beyond Ural in 1942. Remember, Israelis rekted this people 4 times, often with inferior or equal manpower and technology. Idea of last stnad, "do or die" mentality is outside jihadist lines as foreign as evernight of Finland to these people.
Evan Wright
SAA has always been shit m8
Bentley Moore
Seems like it worked. I'd laugh if it was an anti-Russian cia tactic. Seeing as Russians put guided tech in the plane instead of the missile, so after the missile it launched it can't be adjusted when the winds change or heat/smoke throws off calculations in missile guidance.
Hudson Bailey
What they need is to A. clone Hezbollah fighters B. get Russia to use equipment that's not from WW1
Matthew Nguyen
Okay you better link me reliable tweets now. You are pulling shit from your ass.
Julian Torres
Attack. Tablet keyboards m7.
Cameron Foster
>reliable tweets
Nicholas Phillips
Look it up youself buddy, you got old info, SAA lost control of that base a while ago now, the battle is ongoing for it however, but it is doubtful they can get it back after losing something like that, not without a serious push.
Oliver Young
I can't believe the ghostfag on twitter was actually right. well, I hope the terrorists and the shills are fucking happy. You got Aleppo good fucking job.
Kayden King
What?
Isaac Diaz
Just wait until we mass-produce this shit.
Andrew Cruz
They would need to train their troops better. No amount of magic weapons will make a badly led army of badly trained soldiers win.
Ayden King
No. You are gonna get the info. You make outlandish claims since hours without sourcing anything. So give us your source.
Chase James
>outlandish >literally footage and pictures all over twitter of JAN running around the base with dozens of dead SAA spread out
Calm down bud, you got old info, its cool.
Lucas Gray
The political nature of the conflict makes it hard for them to use non-Alawite troops, I mean some sunni tribes are aligned with the govt but it's not many. That leaves them with foreign fighters and the depleting manpower pool of Syria.
Elijah Thompson
>Defeatism Fetish Fuel - The Thread
dam son, this place is so full of shills so vigorously tripling down the slightest positive for the rebel side while absolutely shitting on the SAA side for any trace of actual reporting (it's all ogre, just face reality, etc.) one can easily think this is a syrian rebel thread pretending to cheer and support the SAA
>all these leaf,bong,aussie and murican IDs shilling for rebels ayy lmao
Xavier Cooper
In this alegory, SAA is Wehrmacht.
Jordan Myers
@DPRKJones said the SAA holds the northern part of the base.
Luke Sullivan
>Intense artillery & airstrike bombardment of Ramouseh Artillery Base
It's not all over, but the Aleppo battle is arguable one of the most important clashes in years and the rebels have the initiative and upper hand here. All that shilling/propaganda shit is useless and silly anyways.
Isaac Lee
But how usual it actually was? Didn't rebels use like 10 or so VBIEDs against Arty school? I thought they usually don't have that many available, and not to mention thousands and thousands jihadists they got.
Kayden Rodriguez
>slightest positive >rebels took the artillery base and are probably going to break through the aleppo pocket and in turn create a pocket with the SAA in west aleppo >slightest
Its not looking good m8.
Ian Bailey
>all these leaf,bong,aussie and murican IDs shilling for rebels The diaspora is real
Jayden Roberts
That's pretty much their default tactic, or at least one the SAA should definitely have been prepared for. Keep in mind breaking the siege is something a lot of jihadist/islamist groups are working together for, so they have more personnel and equipment available than usual
William Powell
Assad is finished Glory to the FSA!
Logan Powell
The kurds build big fortifications. Berms several meters high to stop ISIS VBIEDs
And what do we see here?
Blake Rivera
Yup, the rebels moved a ton of assets over as well for this.
Jace Young
