MiG-31 - this is peak form CB MiG. Following the victory of man over nature, the entire batch of talented group of engineers sent to the project spacecraft "Buran", including the father of the MiG-31 Konstantin Vasil.
What is left after by KB - it fools, bezdyri and freaks. KB involuntarily finished off the party in the Soviet times.

Turkey is really trying to advance on Raqqa.They've been pounding Al-Bab hard recently. However I wonder how they'll even reach the city considering they'll have to cut off the SAA's advance near Dayr Hafir if they'd attempt to use the Halap Ar Raqqah road as a corridor to advance through.

I guess Al Bab is one of the most important question marks. Will IS defend it or leave for counter attacks to protect Raqqa.
If it falls quickly it puts Turkish FSA basically just north of Kuweires, this is going be awkward.

The SAA still has a siege to win in Aleppo. What if for example after all the backroom dealing between Turkey and Russia they can't stop rouge FSA(like Sham legion) from shelling Kuweires or worse attacking SAA outposts and what's IS and the SDF going do in the meantime. Dis goin b gud

between the militias and kurds and isf there is something like 100,000 fighters on the iraqi side. Iraqi gov claims about 12-15k isis fighters in mosul, which personally sounds super fucking high. No matter how proficient they are they are vastly outnumbered. I know iraqis are shit for fighting and that war isnt about body counts, but it seems like they could soak up """martyrs""" for days and not be hurting. I also really wonder about daeshs capacity to throw vbieds at them day after day. It just doesnt seem sustainable.

I kind of got a feel for how the FSA and Turks are gonna advance along Al Bab and towards raqqa when I spoke with a Turkish diplomat who specializes in Syria/Iraq today. The idea is to coordinate with the SAA where the FSA is going to advance. The main concern of the Turks isn't Sham legion starting shit, but if the SAA really starts to threaten the Turkish led advance on Raqqa. It may be that the SAA is going to allow the rebels to advance along the Galapagos Ar Raqqa road until they can establish another supply corridor, but that's just my opinion. He said the main focus of Turkey is ISIL, so they don't really care about any other actor (his words not mine and he is basically paraphrasing what the government states). It obviously isn't a great answer but I don't expect a diplomat posted to Canada to comment on ongoing military operations in Syria more so than he already did.
>>
>>32003529
oh and for those who want to know, the Turkish government doesn't see the Assad and the Syrian Arab Republic as a state actor anymore, their view is that all actors inside Syria are illegitimate. It was interesting considering that in the same breath the diplomat said that the SAA has good air defense capabilities and that they were coordinating with them to allow for airstrikes on Al Bab
>>
>>32004035
>SAA has good air defense capabilities
Russia is their air defence to a very large extent, as well as all the gear they've sold to the SAA proper of course. But if Russia wasn't there on the ground I doubt the SAA operated stuff would be given anything close to the same consideration.

My question is relevant to this video
How would /k/ make ISISs VBIEDs more effective and resistant to the only thing that seems to stop them, ATGMs?
It seems that guiding your VBIEDs through the use of drones to the best target area would yield best results
Could you stop the ATGMs through an extra length version of slat armor? Like two or three feet from the car body?
Or would sticking a night vision camera on a SVBIED or drone work better?

Sure he would say this and it's not entirely untrue but the main reason Turkey entered the war was because the YPG was scaring the shit out of them.

That said I wouldn't underestimate IS either. After all their northern Aleppo loses they continue to pull back as if they are saving for a last ditch offensive.

>>
>>32005478
True.
But then again, a BMP is not some highly advanced machine and the basics like backwards and forwards driving shouldn't be that hard.
I mean, it was designed to be driven by poorly trained soviet conscripts.
It just feels strange, but maybe the impact of the ram attack damaged the track or something

>>
>>32005486
Poor morale, poor cohesion, poor leadership. Being an Arab in general, and being a militiaman at that, seems like a bad combination for fighting as an effective force or actually keeping yourself alive in a combat zone. I'm betting conscript would outperform these guys by a lot.

Arabs are pretty good at rampant retaliation, being unnecessarily cruel and raping and destroying civilized people and areas, see also >>32004667

Without my added vitriol is is indeed possible that the impact shock disoriented the driver/crew of the BMP. These things are not designed for shock absorption from a crash I believe, that shit would fuck you up. Nonetheless a "ALLUAH ACKBAR HE'S GOING TO RAM US ABDULLAK" followed by back away before the hit would have been more appropriate.

Not against competent forces. In fact, competent force dont use SVBIED's due to the fact that the vehicle itself is more of a combat multiplier moving around said forces and acting as a weapons platform, then just stuffing it full of bombs.

I'd disagree. Like said earlier, it's a hand delivered air strike at the direction of infantry. "Competent" forces also don't find suicide bombing very kosher so it's hard to make the comparison. But yeah well equipped forces don't use it since good artillery support and air support fill the same role.

In ISIS' context who gives a fuck about a pickup truck or an old BMP? They can use the BMP to try and battle taxi to an enemy position and just get slaughtered, or fill the BMP with anfo and blow the position up entirely.

You must be retarded or completely ignorant of modern warfare if you think this is true for any competent army.

Modern mechanized forces have the standoff firepower to literally FUCKING ANNIHILATE any target within a 4 km radius of their own positions, and you think a pick-up truck with some bolt on sheet metal plate and a driver is somehow an effective weapon?

Nigger, which planet are you from? Why do you think tanks exist, and have 1 meter of armor and superior mobility?

The only reason they can get away with these primitive battlefield weapons is because the opposing forces are equally retarded and can't function like a normal military or use their heavy weapons with any proficiency. A simple fucking burst from a .50 caliber NSV or M2 Browning could utterly shred an IED from 1,000 yards.

I absolutely LOATHE how you children, watching this shitfest, are going to form an impression that this is how war is actually fought.

You niggers don't understand that WW2 was fought with sophistication not even remotely comparable to what the retarded sand niggers are doing.

Please don't be angry, anon.

The SVBIED has been one of the highest mass casualty producing weapons fielded by the various enemies of various nations in the MENA region. More specifically Iraq and Syria. Though, yes, you are correct. Modern western military weaponry should keep that sort of threat at bay, and it can and it has.

It doesn't always.

Remember, the Kurds don't have access to the steady arsenal of other NATO nations, or even prior Warsaw Pact garrisons. The most effective weapon system against the heavily armored, heavily loaded SVBIED has been the lowly recoiless rifle. Tanks would be wildly effective against SVBIED's if they could always be on station when an SVBIED appeared, or if they could magically pick out which vehicle on the highway is the dangerous one. And sometimes they did. Sometimes they didn't.

The fact is, for the cost of an M1A1 abrams tank to be build, its crew to be trained, its maintainers to be trained, its parts-crew-and-maintainers to be shipped over seas, it's parts-crew-and-maintainers to be housed and utilized "in country", you could just build a few dozen SVBIED's and pay off the families of the martyrs.

I would also strongly advise you to look into how large and how armored these vehicles can be. ISIS in particular spends a lot of time positioning these vehicles on fronts where they can be the most devastating and where the SVBIED is at the lowest risk of being intercepted and destroyed.

You're underestimating your opponent, and they like when you do that.

And here lies the issue.

A single M1A1 has enough ammo on hand to do the same damage as a few dozen svbieds for effect on target (people dead).

The truth of the matter is, is that insurgent forces cant go with the effectiveness of the tank.

Its not a good weapon, its the ONLY weapon they have for this effect on target.

Im not him, but the issue was calling vbied's "quite good".

Basically the same case as the barrel bombs. They use them because they have them plentyful available. If they had other, better, weapons, then they would use these without hesitation.
>>
>>32008608
VBIEDS are a bit more of a spear, it is a multi ton bomb hand delivered and detonated at point blank range, it really can ruin your day and the day of pretty much everyone else in the vincinity.
Sure, it is a poor mans weapon, but thats what makes it so dangerous. It takes a couple thousand $$$ and one fanatic, and you can blow up some barracks, attack a convoy, blow up a market or a mosque. You can build many of them for cheap, and there is too many valuable targets to defend them all, so you will inflict casualties, and thats what counts to them.
>>
>>32008683
>VBIEDS are a bit more of a spear

Its literally a spear in the context of the argument. Its a single use disposable weapon that uses explosions to kill enemy's.

A tank/APC in a multi use non disposable weapon that uses explosions to kill enemy's.

>t takes a couple thousand $$$ and one fanatic, and you can blow up some barracks, attack a convoy, blow up a market or a mosque.

No, you cant do all that. You can done ONE of those. With a tank/APC, you can do every single one of those with the same platform.

There is a reason why VBIED's rarely worked against US forces in iraq, unless it was a VERY commercial area, one guy with a .50, hell, a 7.62 AP GPMG will end the threat.

No, Russia's air campaign has been an outright embarrassment, reaffirming once again that Russia is a declining regional power with a delusional attention-seeking manlet at the helm who can't even prevent former satellite states like Ukraine from breaking free because Russia just has so little to offer anyone.

Russia's air campaign:
>little to no coordination with ground forces
>brutally inefficient and ineffective essentially aerial artillery bombardment
>next to no effective multi-layered real-time reconnaissance to fuck up rebel comms, logistics and capacity to wage war (Ivan, that building looks good on google earth, we bomb there da?)
>nusra and friends STILL able to launch offensives, unacceptable as Russia should be able to preempt and destroy Nusra offensives like any serious military power (all while the battlespace of Idlib province is tiny compared to the US-led bobbing campaign)
>muh SAA squarekilometre gains (great, so they simply reinforced the stalemate of the war that has been grinding on for years, most areas retaken were under control of SAA anyway until 2015)
>waging an air war on behalf of what must be the most incompetent fighting force second only to the Italian army of WW2, it's not even really "Syrian" anymore kek
>muh Aleppo siege, muh decisive blow (not how insurgencies/organisations like Nusra operate, so largely irrelevant long-term)
>stuck in a quagmire
>muh Mediterranean base (kek, exactly WHERE is Russia going to project power with its frankly limited capabilities? Africa? The Middle East?; a shithole which ought to be avoided by any sensible world power)
>going to be bombing Syria for the next 20+ years, achieving very little but wasted money and possibly more sanctions because of MUH CIVILIANS all over the incompetent leader that is Assad

Yeah it is. Especially if you stick with an Abrams is better than 48 VBIEDS.

Only VBIED I actually encountered was while we escorted a battalion out of the AO, barely made one vehicle a mobility kill.

My experience aside, VBIED are fucking nuts.
You pack 1,100+ lbs of HME into a car, more if larger than your average sedan.

VBIEDs have opportunity that a 70-ton Abrams can never give, they can get close.

The VBIED I witnessed detonated anywhere between 50-100m from the convoy. I talked to some of the guys that were actually hit by it, and they were engaging that fucker only within the last 100 meters of travel.

I was at a mass-casualty event,and it only took 2 VBIEDs to kill well over 100 hundred people, injured was around 400.

No, there are very few valuable targets. Value is defined as what someone is willing to pay for it. Value of strategic locations is defined by what the people vying for those locations are willing to pay for it. This payment comes in the form of not only blood, but expertise, time, physical resources, energy, plus anything anything which can be quantified by money.
Since the Iraqi government is almost as retarded and uncollaborative as Islamic terrorists themselves, the value they confer on their assets is almost nill.

Sure, that's true. A single tank could knock out as many SVBIEDs as it had ammunition to engage targets. However, Hadji isn't stupid enough to continue losing expensive assets against a hard target, they'll get clever and have. They'll mask the approach in civilian traffic. They'll attack at night from short distances. They'll attack *where there isn't a tank*.

ISIS also has numerous weapon systems that can deliver accurate, explosive fire power on a specific target. But, bang for buck, SVBIED's have been wildly effective for the sort of war theyre fighting, which is one of terrifying attrition.

In a stand up, conventional fight? It's a laughable gimmick.

-SAA/Ruaf continue to try and smoke em out of eastern Aleppo with heavy airstrikes and minor clashes .

-Turkish backed FSA/Turkish armed forces stalled out in front of Al Bab however the battle continues

-Starting with pro IS chicken littles and ending with pro SAA Arab source IS launched a large attack in Deir Ezzor city that was repelled however Deir Ezzor 24 reported minutes ago heavy fighting has resumed.

My main question is what IS will do about Al Bab as YPG/SDF moves on Raqqa.

Palmyra was one of the biggest routs in the Syrian war for the SAA, if you don't believe that was a focal point of the war then I don't know what to say to you.
>>
>>32019799
Both Idlib and Tabqa Airbase were bigger losses though.
>>
>>32019799

>Palmyra
>focal point of the war

wew laddy.

The fact that you think the 10 or so bombs dropped a week by the russians had any effect is hilarious.
>>
>>32019845
I've yet to see any evidence that supports the SAA was making significant advances before the Russian intervention, instead of massive territory losses.
>>
>>32019845
These "10" bombs per week as you call it gave them a massive moral boost though.
>>
>>32019815
Indeed, hence "one of" not "the biggest". They all play into the narrative that the SAA was on the back foot before the Russians intervened. Palmyra was the cherry on top that spurred Putin into helping his besieged ally.
>>
>>32019863

Have you just joined MEG? I mean, how do i prove years of threads?

On the contrary, have yet to see any proof that the bombs that were dropped had any meaningful effect. Again, correlation =/ causation.
>>
>>32019924
Why do you keep bringing up "bombs", you honestly believe Russia's support towards the SAA is limited to just "bombs"?

Your ignorance is truly startling, and it wouldn't be hard to show advances made by the SAA up to where the Russians intervened (hint there aren't any because they were losing ground like crazy in 2014/2015).

I will ask again, show us where the SAA was making significant inroads against the opposition before the Russian intervention.

Right now we have Idlib, Tabqa, and Palymra all showing massive losses by the SAA before the Russians joined in the scrap.
>>
>>32019959

The cause of victory was attributed to the effects of the airstrikes (and cruise missile strikes, but those are a minority), not the constant Russian support provided to the SAA.

>I will ask again, show us where the SAA was making significant inroads against the opposition before the Russian intervention.

And i will ask again, show me where Russian airstrikes directly contributed to a victory, instead of something that was inevitable due to basic logistical factors.
>>
>>32019986
>show me where Russian airstrikes directly contributed to a victory

Castello road
latest Hama offensive by rebels
latest (and previous) Aleppo offensive

Without russian air support these offensives would have ended differently and SAA would still try to re-capture the Arty collage.
>>
>>32019986
Nope, you said:
>>32019612
>t. russian

Implying Russian support of the SAA had no impact on the Civil War in Syria.

You then stated:
>By the time they started bombing, the SAA was already turning things around.
In this post: >>32019721

I countered listing several battles which showed massive loss in territory from the SAA, you then made the claim and asserted Russia's intervention was limited to "bombs", as you put it vaguely several times in these posts:
>>32019845
>>32019924

Don't spin the argument around and try and dodge the original question, show me where the SAA was making significant advances before the Russians intervened.
>>
>>32019986
>show me where Russian airstrikes directly contributed to a victory

Hama, Latakia, Aleppo campaign, Keweirs, Castello, Deir Azzor still holding out, etc

your turn, tell us where the SAA was making big advances before Russian intervention
>>
>>32020003

Simply stating battles does not prove anything anon.

I would argue (especially the latest aleppo offensive) that victory was inevitable due to more manpower and more assets with pure degradation of defensive structures.
>>
>>32020039
Show me where the SAA was making significant advances before the Russians intervened.

You have failed to do so several times now and have dodged the question.

>>32020057

heres more

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combat_operations_in_2014_during_the_Battle_of_Aleppo

Syrian army encircled the enemy, and kept it there. There were minor back and forths, but the strangulation was in place.

>inb4 assloads of damage control.
>>
>>32020060
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Rainbow_(Syrian_Civil_War)

And that was with Russian support, you just rekt yourself by posting that, lmao.

They barely got the supply line open in Canopus and it was cut several times after that in 2014/2015.

>>32020076
Most of these are highly defensive operations that involve no significant territory gains, especially near the end of 2014 where they are simply recapping some lost areas around the city or within it, none of them are actual massive land grabs.

So I will ask again, show us where the SAA was making significant gains against the opposition before the Russian intervention. Posting defensive battles don't count since the entire country has battles like that.

Remind me, how many cities/km did the SAA lose in 2014? And then how many km of territory did they take back in 2015/2016 after Russian support?

The numbers you find will startle you.
>>

>Pro-government forces capture 586 settlements and 12,000 sq km of territory[26]
>Major pro-government strategic gains in Latakia, Palmyra and Aleppo theaters

To say Russia's intervention hasn't had an impact on the Syrian Civil War is incredibly ignorant.
>>
>>32020108
>And that was with Russian support

Not Russian strikes. Just arms and armor.

>They barely got the supply line open in Canopus and it was cut several times after that in 2014/2015.

Again, back and forth, but the squeeze was on.

>Most of these are highly defensive operations that involve no significant territory gains

Yes, its called a siege anon. SAA encircled, and then began strangulation of the rebel forces.

> Posting defensive battles don't count since the entire country has battles like that.

>canopus star

Like i said, assloads of damage control. I get it, you wont admit you are wrong.

Yeah because that had zero impact on the war either, lmao.

>>
>>32020148
>Yeah because that had zero impact on the war either, lmao.

But the issue was not arms and armor, it was the airstrikes themselves.

>I can't believe someone is this ignorant of the Syrian Civil War.

Says the man that said that the SAA didnt make significant advances before russian intervention.
>>
>>32020160

Russian airstrikes were negligible. Material support was what helped.
>>
>>32020163
>>32020172
>But the issue was not arms and armor, it was the airstrikes themselves.

Nope, that was what you kept harping on, never once did I specifically state airstrikes, but rather Russian support as you can see in these posts:
>>32019612
>>32019652
>>32019746
>>32019799
>>32019815
>>32019845
>>32019863
>>32019959

You are moving the goal posts trying to bring up just "Russian airstrikes" when I clearly state "Russian support" as the prime factor.

You know we can read old posts right? Why would you try moving the goal posts?
>>
>>32020184
>when I clearly state "Russian support" as the prime factor.

You clearly stated Russian intervention. I suppose you could count ground combat operations, but those were also negliable.

Oh wait, im sure you will damage control "intervention" to mean "material support".

wew laddy, here it comes!
>>
>>32020163
>>32020172
Original post here:
>>32019560
>Russian intervention has completely turned the course of the Syrian Civil War around.

No mention of "air strikes", but rather "Russian Intervention".

This post calls him a shill:
>>32019612

No mention of airstrikes there either.

>>32019652
My first post claiming Russian support helped the SAA stop losing territory.

This post claims the "SAA was already turning things around" (still no evidence of this by the way). >>32019721

My post clarifying I'm discussing overall Russian support, not just "bombs" as you vaguely like to put it.
>>32019959

>>32020208
Stay blown the fuck out little man. Russia directly intervened with artillery, tanks, troops, MASSIVE material support that replenished depleted SAA reserves and allowed them get a bearing on their logistics (the most important thing in war).

To say the Russian intervention hasn't had an impact on the Syrian Civil War is laughable, I'm done with you seeing as I've already proven you're incapable of sticking to an argument.
>>
>>32020208
>>32020225
>when someone moves the goal post but the person they are arguing with is autistic and goes back to keep track of everything

fatal mistake on your part
>>
>>32020225
>"Russian Intervention".

Oh, im sure that means materiel support now, after i blew you the fuck out about the various SAA victories pre russian intervention.

> Russia directly intervened with artillery, tanks, troops

All to its airbase, where they sat.

>MASSIVE material support

They did, but thats not intervention. Intervention is direct your force on enemy force.

>I'm done with you seeing as I've already proven you're incapable of sticking to an argument.

Yeah, being as how you fail to grasp basics of English language, i would say its best for you to go.
