Please dont post single words or a couple of meaningless initials as a response. It doesn’t contribute to a flow of discussion really, does it? Many thanks mod PS
SAA FTW!!
Congratulations to the forces for their breakthrough to the airbase at Aleppo. Should be a good morale boost ad hopefully more to continue.
Encouraging news but I couldn’t help notice the devastated landscape. I think of the people who have fled and the peaceful life they once enjoyed.
If we were shown the blood and gore that goes along with the triumphant music I think we’d try harder to uproot the cause of war. At times like these it is necessary to fight fire with fire and war with war but oh the price we pay.
“By rivers of blindness
In love and with kindness
We could hold up a toast if we meet
To the cuttin’ of fences
To sharpen the senses
That linger in the fireball heat.”
-Dylan, Where Teardrops Fall
Lifting the siege on Kuweiris is the first big victory for the SAA since the Russian intervention. Over the coming days and weeks expect the SAA to clear the pocket between Kuweris and Aleppo, creating a new defensive line with the fortress base of Kuweris as its Eastern linchpin. An overview of the base’s excellent defensive layout and terrain advantages can be found here:

After the pocket is cleared, or possibly even before I expect the Cheetah forces involved in lifting the siege will be redeployed to the North Hama battlefront to blunt the Nursa offensive and eventually counterattack.
The Eastern Aleppo front should stabilize after that with the SAA focusing on the more immediate threat of the Army of Conquest in Aleppo and Ibdil provinces.

Oryx posts propaganda crap.. They made a big deal of british sniper rifles in the hands of the SAA and how they now dread having done business with the Russians. As if Russians don’t have sniper rifles.. Obviously they found the british rifles crap and dumped it on the Syrians. Just like how Russia until the last month or so only gave enough weapons to stop an offensive and not to win or defeat the other side. The lack of armored troop transports, bombs, thermo barbaric systems all would have defeated any attacking force which we did not see until just now. It is only when the US broke some kind of rule and provided next gen ATGM’s that Putin got pissed and started provided any effective weapons. The same way this has been going on in proxy wars with nato and the soviets..
Really, the Syrian air force is short of bombs, but they have plenty to bomb hospitals and schools?? I say great for the Syrians, drop a bunch of ants and itching powder on the fuarking terrorists and hope they develop a rash and their dicks fall off. A wounded terrorist is easier to kill but kill you must. Being in a hospital or school recuperating makes no difference and all the better.. That would be one less that will recover and learn to chop of more Christian heads. So F you onxy and your terrorist sympathies… If you cared one bit about the Syrian civilians, you would not make up and write crap like this.
ps.. Obviously this is not directed at the poster above.. Just warning people who go to read the link that it is a biased account of anything relevant and when you see bias, their analysis all becomes moot. So watch the nice pictures.. and leave the analysis behind.
I got to ask one question, the US has bombed hospitals and wedding parties like clockwork.. Can we add the mighty US air farce to this list? If you can call the Syrian airforce criminals, You surely can call the US pilots enforcers for the mafia. 90% of drone strikes killed civilians.. easier to get that xmas bonus I suppose..
Thanks for the warning Miriww.
Language barriers makes it difficult to know which ‘
side’ you are hearing from at times. The video was tagged ‘Free Syria Tube.’
I thought this was footage of the SAA – obviously partial, and limited by access in a war-zone – retaking the airbase. Is that not still the case, even if the ‘
analysis’ is rubbish?
On a happier note, I saw a video of a Syrian reporter from inside the base just after it was liberated. Although I don’t speak Arabic, his emotion spoke a universal language.
It is a great day for Syria, Assad and the Syrian Arab Army.
It’s a great day for anyone who still hopes for justice and peace for the beleaguered Syrians.
And its a great day for Putin and the RuAF.
I don’t mind reading rubbish, it still gives insight, but to show such compassion for the civilians and then degenerate the people trying to protect them shows which side they are on. I hate those nato humanitarian bombers. I used to see US aid, big letters, provided by the people of the united states. I thought oh wow, how great of them to provide sustenance to people they wish were dead already. So if you care about the people, then stop undermining the people doing something to protect them. Until the last few years I was never a fan of the Syrian government. But if you look around the place, every single government for thousands of miles hangs a bell on Christians and that includes Israel and makes them ring it when going to market. Except the Syrians.. Religion never mattered to me until they came for me. Guess they crossed a red line.. I would support whole heartedly the only people dying to protect my rights and that is not many people for thousands of miles around Syria except the Syrian government.. I would rather these people get killed there than they come looking for me like they look for people over there to kill.
IS will run out of men in a couple of months the way they are losing them. The mercenaries are not yet active on the front lines and they will be inside their capitol.. But they will starve to death in there soon enough. IS has lost like 3000 killed in battle in the last month with 10,000 moderate chickens running off… And no people all over the world wont be running over to get fried so every dead terrorist is one less.. Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria.. The terrorists are fighting the local government and not those doing the bombing and droning. Just how many dumb people can they find no matter what the pay is to die for this fiction..
