It wasn't updated for so long... after several minutes I thought, "why not". You rot in hell you damn dirty Aussie.
Joshua Lewis
When the SAA captures Allepo whats the next step. I heard that Allepo is a very important city and that who captures is will probably win.
Josiah Sanders
Bab al-Hawa border crossing.
Ian Martin
Plow along and secure turkish border.
Jeremiah Butler
Go all into Idlib and rape FSA/Nusra in the ass so hard that ISIS would shit his pant in Raqqa.
Gabriel Martinez
aussies>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>isis>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>my black shit>>>>>>>weaboos
either brings the FSA to the negotiation table with the SAA in a strong position, or they steamroll the FSA in idlib and East Gouhta
Michael Lewis
Watching terrorist commit mass sudoku in Idlib Raqqa and Deir ez-zor in the east
Chase Richardson
Not a full capture, just enough to isolate a large number of fsa and Islamist troops. After they close the passage, the next goal will be to clear out some the pockets in Damascus and to continue the liberation of Aleppo province. After that, it's unknown what the SAA will do next.
Ian Gomez
>i came here to chew khat and kick ass and im all out of khat
fuckin kekked
on a sidenote, do the houthis even use tanks or apcs or stuff like that? i think they only use technicals and that's for transport so they dont mess up their sandals looks like their entire arsenal is infantry and tochkas how fucking based is that?
Thomas Harris
We all know what they will do.... soon my brothers
They wont. They cant. Aleppo is a terrorists nest and it would take years. The only option is some kind of deal like they did with...Homs was?
Elijah Reed
guys, how does the saa pocket in idlib survive? i never see anybody talking about it, but its still there. whats going on there?
Gavin Bell
A tank would be easy target for planes, so Houthis are beyond this planet and arm to the teeth their soldiers with the same power of a tank to BTFO saudi tanks.
As far i see in video, they only go by foot, because they don't have shoes even to walk.
Alexander Hall
>t-34 and su-100s fuck me, we /worldoftanks/ now
Levi Wright
Two shia villages and some trapped SAA soldiers in a ceasefire with the head choppers. Sometimes the rebels drop some bombs on them, but its quiet there.
Samuel Myers
yay!
Xavier Roberts
They dont seem very interested in them. Ive seen videos where theyve captured saudi armour blow it up instead of using it.
Kevin Scott
some tribal elders who dont trust the FSA at all.
Nathan Watson
hahaha they only use old ass tanks for banter purposes "were blowing your 21 century tech with ww2 equipment" fucking hipster militia
in reality though i bet they only use them for transport like the donbass guys. i mean apart from the tochka fetish their strategy is "get us close to the saudis and leave the rest to us", so if it has wheels they use it
Andrew Morgan
There is an ongoing truce. It was put in place some months back when the SAA was trying to clear out the anti-lebanon mountains.
Noah Robinson
>do the houthis even use tanks or apcs On a rare occasion. I saw pictures of destroyed houthi`s tanks and AT/self - propelled guns from North Korea.
Nolan Barnes
Tochkas belong to Yemeni republican guard. Former Yemeni president Saleh is allayed to Houthis and commands some 100.000 Yemeni republican guards. Most of Saudi casualties are duo to fighting with these republican guard units. They are well trained and equipped, tanks, atgms, air defense. Without Saleh the Houthis would be gone by now.
Austin Clark
>self propelled guns from North Korea ended up in Houthi hands
Liam Hall
so houthis are fremen and rep guard are sardaukar ?
Liam Sanders
Holy!!!
Chase Morales
Pretty much.
Jose Gonzalez
This guy knows things when it comes to arms trade.
Daniel Peterson
'Gone' being back to their mountains in Saada province.
Let's not forget that the Yemeni army under the Saleh dictatorship failed to defeat them, even after a decade of bombing campaigns and military operations. And that was *with* Saudi and USA support.
Juan Cook
And remember guys, Houthis have planes according to Tony Toh Where? Only Allah knows.
Kevin Ortiz
He also knows things when it comes to middle eastern militias.
Jordan Reyes
you cant really completely defeat mountain tribal guerillas though, just look at the US vs taliban. its just not worth the huge cost to fight them.
Bentley Myers
im telling you, the houthis have the apple of eden.
how else are they doing so well against the KSA
Wyatt King
>board cargo plane >roll cargo plane from desert airfield to desert frontline >exit cargo plane >kill saudis
Landon Powell
/Sg/ show me yfw a single missile wipes out the entire Saudi air force.
>Mfw
Joseph Jones
Yeah exactly. The only way to defeat them would be to cut off the khat supply.
Camden Foster
Jesus christ the pupil dilation on the guy on the right >when the khat hits hard
Eli Adams
I'm starting to think the same.
Joke asides, this was planned since the coup of Saleh with Hezbollah/Iran leaders, is the only idea i can think off.

fuck me, American Ultra was right, weaponized potheads are the strongest race
none just stay in /sg/ and youll learn whats going on sooner or later, twitterfags are full of lies and propaganda. its not like its a fast moving war either way
Benjamin Price
Just seen RT's article and video on Chinese intervention in Syria, has there been any other new regarding this? And is Turkey now backing Assad?
Oliver Perry
Yes and yes.
Bentley Hughes
>Turkey backing assad HA
Leo Young
Julian röpke and julian reichelt. I assure you won't find any argument. They are highly competent.
Syria's a big country with lots of holes and city blocks for moderate beheaders to hide in, plus so many factions have risen up in the country it's not even funny
Daniel Brown
The SAA is already "will probably win". Taking Aleppo is really just rubbing it in these Salafists' faces, let's just face it.
Joseph Fisher
>i am an ukraine expert >were you acutally ever in the ukraine julian? >NOOOO LMAO ITS A WARZONE WHY WOULD I XDDDDDDDD
Logan Ramirez
That's kind of funny seeing as actual real journalists do go to Eastern Ukraine and anyway he could at least go to Lviv or even Kiev. I'd go to Kiev no worries. What a fucking tit.
Leo Hall
>And is Turkey now backing Assad? no, the only change in turkey's policies toward syria is that they don't say that assad muststep down so we start a political process to resolve the conflict. keep in mind that this is just words nothing more yet.
N-n-no... t-this is err... super secret phase 4.5!
Yes!
Assad has only days left now!
Asher Cruz
That's surely significant though isn't it? Ot was the pragmatically retarded insistance that Assad step down that made previous peace processes non-starters. That said, it's only Turkey. I bet John Kerry is still spouting his usual shit about how he expects Assad to step down even though he is winning.
Austin Powell
terrorists are now in liquid phase
Isaiah Ward
I expect kerry to be extradited to turkey along with gulen.
Julian Barnes
Only significant in that we now know that Erdogan has given up and decided to be Putin's bitch.
Still doesn't mean you should trust a roach.
Short leash. And a muzzle, if possible.
Adrian Bailey
comfy
Angel Sanchez
Pass on the lmaonade bro
Adrian Phillips
FSA on suicide watch
Luis Rivera
What's going on here?
>mfw importants hings are probably happening in middle east but I'm too focused on the race war in my own country
Jose Thompson

Elijah Ortiz
>al-hassan charging the arty base good work sacrificing 1000 men breaking in a corridor, which is closed without substantisl losses by the other side
James Lopez
that was close
Ryan Hill
Why does pol not like the FSA? Aren't they preferable to Assad?
Austin Bennett
No
Isaiah Wright
>That's surely significant though isn't it? for me its just a positive sign from turkey that made Iran, Russia and Turkey go back to table to negotiate for now. nothing more.
russian wants turkey let international observers control its border crossing with syria. Iranian wants a political process like an election to be held and turkey said yup we want it too.
Mason Peterson
They're probably a few feet apart. Note that the center rack is tandem only, everything else is on the wings or the intake ridges.
