SAA captured the village of Surayb in eastern Aleppo, typical back and forth village capturing for the Aleppo front.

>>28541869
The East is a delicate matter.

>>28542328
SAA capture a village:
>Lmao stupid kuffar, it's just typical back and forth
SAA lose a village:
>NUSARYI DOGS BTFO! SAA IS GARBAGE, RUSSIAN AIRSTRIKES HAVE DONE NOTHING!!! TACKBIR!!!

It's hard to believe there are actual terrorist lovers on /k/, but goat fuckers gotta fuck goats

>>28542712
I doubt anyone believes that, I for one did not state that. What I'm saying is its the typical back and forth motion that happens on the Aleppo front. No need to be butthurt about the real tactical situation assad fanboy, I'm just saying nothing will come of this.

>>28541803
So you're saying they smeared the Kweires?

>>28542846
>Lmao it's no big deal that Assad has gains. Look at the TOW video, assad is being BTFO!

Are you allowed to even post on 4chan? I don't think sharia allows it

Basically I agree with OPs statement that it's a slow news day. There are several hot areas like Harbinafsah on the Hama side of the northern Homs pocket where the SAA is trying to progress into the pocket from the Hama side inside of the southern end.
The SAA has taken over Deir Al-Fardis which is close to Harbinafsah.

-Sheikh Maskin , Daara- competing claims. I think the SAA gained a couple of city blocks there. Not the "70% of the city". I would estimate 50% at most.

-Eastern Ghouta- not much , some clashes by the central prison again

-western Ghouta-heavy fighting bombing , unclear results

-Salma, Latakia with little from the government side, rebels claim they ambushed and killed some SAA in the surroundings. As I was typing 3 different pro rebel sources have claimed there was a large death toll in this ambush.(I will be following up on this)

-SAA continues to move closer to Al Bab today


Lastly is the results from Khan Touman yesterday as a Iragi Shia militia on the front took heavy loses in a Jaf advance in the area. Pic included. The Iranians are using them as cannon bait again.

If anyone is interested in the JaN video with the Iraqi corpses

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IyB7pRB9AQ

IS released a video recently (a day or two ago) from Deir ez Zor, but the archive is down, had some interesting footage.

>>28543549
Oh they captured one of them. There is no gloating to had here. This Iraqi militia was pure cannon bait. The Iranians love the "just throw numbers" at them tactic.

>>28543658
They do that since the eighties, why stop this lovely tradition now?

Poor fellas

There are also reports that the Mosul Dam is in such a bad shape that they are afraid it will break in the spring, I hope IS doesn't drive a VBIED onto it.

Yes, i read about some of the accounts of Iranian human wave attacks. Definitely the gruesome parts of the Iraq/Iran war.

I'm out as usual, till next time.

>>28543145
Which anon? The one your quoting or the one that he's quoting?

>>28543658
What does JaN typically do with their prisoners? It's a bit surprising they'd take any at all. Do they hold their own glorified executions like IS does?

>>28545427
Usually they try to trade them for money. Usually works out.

>>28545427
A little of both, depend of the situation or time. They can use them to ask money or in prisoners exchange, or they ceremonially kill them, like they did after capturing Abu Al Dohur.

But should be noted, that the killing of the 60 SAA POW's in Al Dohur, was some days after that the SAA killed an Al Qaida big shot. So, it was probably something like a revenge.

>>28542712
I see ManDick is leaving his name off, the only skewed information that comes into these threads are from retards like you. Nobody here thinks Jihadist fighters are good in any way, we've all seen what radical Islam can do to countries. However following a complex, many-sided civil war with massive geopolitical implications is what most here are trying to do. I don't know why I'm trying to explain this to a retard like you but sometimes you shitposters make no fucking sense.

Any news on Touman? I am reading about rebels being able to recapture it apparently. Would like to know if there are any confirmations.
Thanks.

The SAA is really stretching it thin on the approach to the airbase. Are they sure the place is not going to be cut off again?

Would Arab Spring have gone better if the opposition rocked the kasbah?

>>28547002
I would worry more about a surprise offensive against Al-Safira or Tel Aran than encircling Kweires through, let's say, Tel Sab'in.

>>28547291
nah, shareef don't like it

>>28547639
>drive me closer so I can behead them
HERETICS

>>28547311
Personally, I don't think that Al Safira is at risk of attack. ISIS tried to make a huge offensive against Al Safira, that was when the SAA was still in their way to relieve the Kweires airbase.
The SAA garrison in Safira was very big at the time, and the ISIS attack to the city was kicked back in less than two days.
Those ISIS positions near Safira, are very quiet, and are probably hold by small contingents.

>>28543365
You would think they would go and fight ISIS in their own country.

>>28548497
They are essentially mercenaries.

It's a little sad, unemployment is so high and Iranians are offering $1000USD (per month? not sure) for them to join their paramilitary units.

>>28544040
>There are also reports that the Mosul Dam is in such a bad shape that they are afraid it will break in the spring, I hope IS doesn't drive a VBIED onto it.

Why? It'll may affect government controlled riverside centers down the Tigris, but Mosul and the immediate area IS holds control of will bear the biggest brunt of the deluge. It makes just about much sense as IS in Syria intentionally rupturing Tishrin Dam or Taqba Dam.

>>28543388
Why is the airbase coloured red?

The live feed last night from the Jakarta assault was out of control.

>>28548514
>job market is so shit, they'd willingly fight in a frighteningly brutal theater
That is really sad. I almost wish the U.S. had given them massive civil projects during withdrawal to keep them employed for months instead of billions of dollars worth of military hardware that ended up being useless.

>>28552624
Not only were they useless but actually counterproductive since the cowardly and ridiculously incompetent Iraqi military just fled and gave all that military hardware over to Isis, who then used it to further push their shit in, and other people's shit too.

to go off my old post
>rebels claim they ambushed and killed some SAA in the surroundings
JAN hit a couple of Zil trucks near Salma. A minor ambush after getting thoroughly beaten out of the city.

-Sheikh Maskin, Daara - this time rebels claim small gains so I continue my estimate at 50/50 on control of the city

-Harbinafsah is still hot after the SAA again tried to move on the city after taking Deir Al-Fardis yesterday.

Video is Ruaf dropping supplies to SAA held Deir Ezzor under attack by IS today
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ch5gBHhnx2I
These cargo planes are massive.

>>28554835
How do they make sure it won't fall on the IS held part of the city?

>>28554835
Read interesting news on Arab Source, about the SAA advancing against ISIS positions east of the itriyah khanasser highway. Anything about it on your sources? I'm trying to figure if this could be something big, or just small thing.

>>28555116
No. The only thing i am seeing is rapid advancement toward Al Bab which i think Arab source is the one reporting this as well.

>>28551381
all important military points are colored red on his maps. Places like the infantry academy were major battles in the past. On that note i didn't know IS still controlled the academy.
>>28555094
I am not much of a air force guy. I imagine it's similar to bombing a location but with supplies instead. It's always a risk to air drop supplies.
