Why are we saying goodbye to Ivan? Can anyone catch me up to date?
Guys, Ivan is out of Twitter due to he is getting life now, i can't share more information because is personal from him, but i will be sharing information from him.
GOOD LUCK BASED IVAN, I HOPE LUCK WILL BE WITH YOU
>>78206459
He's quitting
>>78206459
Reports that he died appeared last night/this morning.
His Twitter has been delete or deactivated.
No updates on YouTube in 24 hours.
Several Russians allegedly captured by ISIS, at least 3 today and who knows how many with the Syrian regiment that was left behind to die.
Ivan probably deactivated his Twitter from the field so ISIS wouldn't gain access, if you ask me.
>>78206516
>>78206634
He got a life so he's done with reporting on Syria?
That's pretty gay. I guess Minnesota isn't alone in giving up on the SAA
>>78205085
Assad and Nasrallah
have more firepower, better logistics, better organization than their enemies.
Even the obviosu split command between shia and syrian military (in the Aleppo commands) is much more under control than, say FSA divisions. ISIS does have unified command but they also have to fight Iraq, western airstrikes, and both countrys Kurd factions
Assad's allies are also much more helpful because they can legally bomb ISIS
Unlike the saudis who can't mossad Assad and must content themselves with blasting Yemen.

everyone has their reasons. For myself Assad influences US policy, with him in power we could see a secure Iraq and keep drawing down american deployments in the god forsaken near east.
"Asia was a mistake" -you can quote me, your country included
Assad will make syria great again, you literally have to go back, and no to taking their oil.
>>78206698
IvanSidorenko1 was never on the frontline.
Russian soldiers were not captured. First thing ISIS would do is make a video of them if there were captured Russians.
There is only the three Russian soldiers that ISIS claimed they killed.
Although the soldiers from the cell phone that ISIS took look nothing alike in the each photo. There is no pictures of bodies or Russian gear from there and there is zero confirmation by the Russian MoD at this time. So it may have very well been a fake.
>>78208207
Some reports say RuAF didn't cover a shit
Some reports say about it was poorly planned
Some reports say they will to another front because ISIS is still too strong in the area.
Nobody knows

Blame the ceasefire and trying to Russia display some show for the media, it works and thanks to that people know about Al-Nusra and actually people is not believing a shit to SOHR and other jews medias.
But it also give time to FSA re-arm themselves and SAA is getting frustated for having to many places to attack.
For me, the place to advance is Al-Bab or Deir Hafer, the rest cant just fuck off.
IvanSidorenko1 is back!
IVAN SIDORENKO REOPENED HIS TWITTER

>>78208656
Yor pissy because Iran is YOUR problem, not ours.
The threat posed by their government is Cuba-tier. They are nothing compared to ally saudi for creating radical terror.
Guess what, Iran can have you
>>78209008
>>78209064
They made steady progress in Aleppo, Latakia and Palmyra. Now ever since that ceasefire losses in Aleppo and we got the horrible failed offensive that was this.
It's probably going to be worse with NSA in the south.

RAQQA ''''OFFENSİVE''''
>>78208748
It isn't in the grand scheme of things. This was just a bad two weeks. They made two incursions into very important ISIS held regions and abandoned their Aleppo offensive.
ISIS counterattacked. SAA still gained a lot of ground northwest and northeast of Palmyra.
South Aleppo was inevitable. Everybody knew an attack was coming due to the 'cease-fire'. They did get BTFO there though. No reason why they should have so poorly prepared.
And Latakia was a bit of success + a bit of failure. Turkey lured the SAA in with the rebel withdrawal amid a moderately successful SAA attack, then the Turkmen & FSA launched a full counterattack hoping the SAA would hold their new positioned. SAA retreated successfully (unlike in Raqqa) and so the result was pretty much a return to pre-offensive/retreat front lines. This is business as usual for the war and not bad at all.
There is no real explanation for how Raqqa was routed so hard. Seems like units lacked coordination and manpower. Utter failure as an offensive yeah.

>>78209362
>Al-Bab
Not a terrible idea. But Honestly, a slow grind towards Deir-Ezzor while the take Damascus, Homs, Latakia and Aleppo one at a time is probably the best for Assad.
Deir Ezzor is important for maintaining government presence in the Northeast so it must be a high priority, but they just can not sustain 3+ offensives. Deir Ezzoir + finishing off rebel pockets is the best strategy since siege has failed.
>>78209568
>what is morale
>>78209899
Actually, i think they're thinking the same way, after al, in West Damascus they are making gains in Darayya and making deals with FSA to leave the area to get the rest move into Idlib
>>78208748
kek russians and assad is useless. he doesn't have an army
they just can bomb random civilian areas without checking
everyone who supports assad is mad, assad should be killed and syria should be split.

>>78210218
this, assad is getting desperate and losing competent men every day and he has to resort to drafted alawite soldiers and foreign militias
>>78209486
Allepo offensive is not fully failed. They did not control any of the city of Allepo before and now they have a strong foothold in it and the rebels lines on the outskirts of the city are completely vulnerable, as long as they can continue to hold in the city until more men can be brought to bear.
It appears to me that the only major setback they've had is ISIS in Raqqa. The reason ISIS didn't mass to relieve Manbij is because American Airpower is decisive in that conflict. The SAA isn't as well supported however.
I think the generals got a little over confident and they should have definitely prepared a defense. It was well established that ISIS was planning to counter-attack. If they had destroyed the mass of ISIS fighters in the counter-attack it would have been decisive in the region.
>>78208656
There are no good guys there - if Sunnis and Shiites keep killing each other and pick off a Russian (and maybe even an occasional Turk), everything's good.
Our SOP should be to keep Muslims busy killing each other and not us.
>>78210577

Provide any reason why it is not.
The majority of Syrians live willingly in government controlled regions.
The Syrian people have spoken and they're under attack by foreign jihadists who are parading around the country killing Syrian citizens.
Why are the lawful President and his government not allowed to call for aid? Particularly when there are many countries arming the foreign 'rebels'?
>>78211121
>>78205085
>GOODBYE IVAN SIRODENKO
Can someone explain this? I been gone for a while, was he killed or did he just delete his tweeter?
Also this week has been utterly embarassing for Assad's forces. Russia needs to act NOW in terms of bringing in their troops. I feel terrible for any Russian troops under the command of the SAA, it's like being on a cruise ship where each crewmember has down syndrome.
>>78211413
whats wrong with muslims helping their brothers from oppression?
we all know assad isnt really a representative of the syrian people, hes a dictator
>>78211536
He deactivated his Twitter. It seems to be back now.
>>78211284
But he came back after this story.
>>78209695
>>78211413
>The majority of Syrians live willingly in government controlled regions.
Yes, because Assad bombs the living shit out of not government controlled zones.
>>78211214
>turk taking credit for saudi oil fields
yes Turkey did a great job in the 20th century, under pro west anti-muslim rule.
Iran meanwhile was sanctioned internationally from the 1980 onward . . . until now.
Sunni supremacists are basically rats btw
>>78211413
>The majority of Syrians live willingly in government controlled regions.
Living there doesn't mean they like Assad. People might live for safety or not getting involved in conflict. inb4: election/ i know most people don't like our dictator but he still "wins"
Also what about others who don't like assad? Should they be bombed with russian air force? because they don't want assad?
>The Syrian people have spoken and they're under attack by foreign jihadists who are parading around the country killing Syrian citizens.
What about other foreign groups that help assad and kill syrians?
>lawful President and his government
you mean dictator who got the power from his dad?
also i do agree they should give aid and not make civilians suffer because of assad. but that is not argument for assad.
>>78211628
What oppression are they suffering under? There have been many examples posted by Syrians and reporters of how much better life is in government controlled regions.
The rebellion was always a jihad, and from the first year it was filling it's ranks with Uzbeks and Chechens and Qataris.
No world leader is a 'representative' of their people. Even in a democracy the elected leader is only representative of a fraction of the population.
Assad may not have a democractic mandate, but the overwhelming support he experiences in the country (including in elections since 2012) and the fact that Syrians would rather live under his government than under the rebels does give him legitimacy as a representative of the people.
Not to mention that legitimacy is completely unrelated to what form of government is in operation. Dictators are legitimate.
>>78211851
And he should. People in those zones are colluding with terrorists and traitors to their country.
>>78211776
Yeahh, the last time I saw him, he said he can't post anymore. So I guess the police is watching him or something like that.
>>78211909
>yes Turkey did a great job in the 20th century, under pro west anti-muslim rule.
not really, erdogan was pretty good
and im saying oil is not a good indicator, rafidi are worst than jews
>>78211054
Iran has no literally Armoured forces other than old Soviet junk, hell they don't even have any attack helicopters their only land force strategy is to force an invader into urban and geurilla warfare and use human wave tactics... They have pretty fanatical soldiers thanks to their Islamic shiiites though.
Iran has noAir Force. there are just so few left after the Iraq-Iran War.
Their Navy is a joke.

>>78211940
>Living there doesn't mean they like Assad. People might live for safety or not getting involved in conflict.
If they are not opposed to living under his protection they can not be very serious about opposing him.
>Also what about others who don't like assad? Should they be bombed with russian air force? because they don't want assad?
If they work with terrorists they are taking the risk of being bombed, yes. That is how life works.
What about people who do not like Trudeau? Guess what, we still have to live with him. Government is not fair. Imagine.
>What about other foreign groups that help assad and kill syrians?
Syrians who are subverting the legitimate government and assisting foreign powers in the destruction of the Syrian state in an attempt to replace it an Islamist one? They are combatants. They can be killed.
>you mean dictator who got the power from his dad?
How is a dictator less legitimate than any other leader? Please enlighten us.

You twats who think that this war is BECAUSE " MUH FREEDOM , MUH DEMOCRACY , MUH ASSAD IS AN EBIL DICTATOR " are fucking retarded , you think the US gives a fuck about some sandniggers ? This is gepolitical shit , the US plan to destabilize syria was planned long ago , to make israel and saudi arabia happy , and ofc to kick out the russians from the mediterranean sea, they used the same shit in lybia and all these bullshit " arab spring " , but nobody remembers the arab spring in SAUDI ARABIA or qatar where the army did the same thing as in syiria ( yet the media and the US didn t say shit )

So should we bomb each and every country we consider a dictator? Why haven't we gone after North Korea yet? Syria is smalltime compared to North Korea's brutal regime.
You're an idiot, this is all about resources primarily oil and NATO complete dominance in the area along with pipeline benefits of Saudi Arab and Turkey who want their influence in all other Middle Eastern countries.

>>78213422
it started as a democratic revolution but assad killed most of them to repress it, so the moslem brothers came to help out

so why is this a a bad thing again?
>>78213216
IRGC != Iranian Army
Turkey is pretty close to Arab tier too 2bh. Only reason they are killing so many "PKK members" is because of genocidal tendencies found in Turkroaches.
>>78213675
>so the moslem brothers came to help out
you mean al-nusra came to take advantage of situation with foreign fighters and have control over syria?
but they kinda failed because some part of their force created ISIS and claimed their own state
but some realized that isis won't be recognized by world so they didn't fully join isis
:DDD
>>78213675
No it didn't. It started as a Saudi-funded, American backed coupe by radical Islamists hiding behind protestors.
99% of those protestors never wanted to pick up a weapon. And just as in Ukraine, the government did not fire the first shots or set the first cars and buildings on fire.
>>78213783
You have an advantage is syria is a shithole ?
What kind of retard are you?
>>78213890
>IRGC != Iranian Army
The Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution (Persian: سپاه پاسداران انقلاب اسلامی / Sepāh-e Pāsdārān-e Enqelāb-e Eslāmi, or Sepāh for short), often called Revolutionary Guards or Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) by the English-speaking or U.S. media, is a branch of Iran's Armed Forces, founded after the Iranian revolution on 5 May 1979

>>78213783
American hegemony is not in anybody's best interests except their own.
Just look at the countries devastated by America's quest for global control. Look at the rise of radical Islam. Look at South America.
All of those are consequences of America's hegemony and their quest to expand.
>>78213675
no, it isn't.
If america steps back from Syria you'll be on your way to a treaty group like this, struck by RUssia at the end of the Syrian war, led by Egypt, Iran, and Turkstain.

what do you lads think russia will do? its paifully obvious by now if they want to prop assad theyll have tto do much much much more than random bombings here and there.
will they abandon assad and force him to accept a two-three state solution? or will they ante up? or will they trade the syria situatoin with something else?

There is an absolute black-out of information about the Syrian war in all western media outlets.
What the fuck are they doing, if not reporting on this stuff?
Good lord this is ridiculous...
>>78215364
oh but they'll be by far the most powerful economy, even if Israel is allowed in. If turks want a piece of rebuilding Iraq and Syria they will have to play nice
>>78214842
I dont think russian command thinks that retreating 10-15km and losing 10-20 soldiers is a big deal f.am
If russians would have died there, we probably could have acted like "Hur dur revenge" and scorch something, like we started to scorched latakian turkmen area.
But when it comes to the tabqa retreat, russian mass media didn't even mention it.
I also think that there is a chance that they got out because Shoigu told them too, and they are not appointing next target because Shoigu told them that "Only fucking idiots are publicly appointing the next target"
>>78215626
like we scorched latakian turkmen area*

Unlikely, since one has almost exclusively asymmetric capabilities while the other is for conventional warfare.
would be great to have a 10 hour compilation of syria war footage instead of 10 hours long stupid shit repeating youtubevideos

>>78215103
hezbollah is paramilitary in lebanon and its way more experienced and combat ready than lebanon army.
irgc is shit tho and their army is probably shit as well, with the long standing arms embargos and all..
>>78215235
they wont trade syria for ukraine, more likely for something economic related like the sanctions from the eu.
>>78215626
its obvious not only because of the raqqa disaster but from the general look of things. if the effort from the russia-assad-iran side was enough wed have seen major changes in the war status. so far the only major change is kurds btfoing everyone. russians seem to care about latakia because turk linked rebels were dangerously close to their bases. they dont really seem to care about anywhere else.
also a russian soldier got killed near palmyra

True. We can only assess the IRGC though but I won't expect much better from the Iranian Army. But often, new military equipment is a catalyst for reform and modernization.
>>78216241
Yeah i know about him, but he is a contract soldier he knew what he is signing for.
Shame he was only one who didnt ran tho.
Our overall casualties in Syria are lower than casualties that we are sometimes having at the 10k-50k army drills in Russia.
We are sometimes joking that civil war Syria is a safer place than peaceful Russia kek.
>>78216314
I wasn't saying how one of them got better training, I was saying they receive different training.
The Army outnumbers the IRGC quite significantly too.

Of course i agree, but more i look at Syrian war and at arabs in general, more i understand that generally recognized military doctrine doesnt work there.

My question was the last post before the thread was deleted......... nobody made a new thread for a while either.
Again: Looking at the maps, what changed significantly? The SAA offensive failed but where are the "horrible casualties"? Is everyone just fucking exaggerating because I don't see much difference, especially when ISIS counter attack is being stalled and their reinforcements have been hit already.

As far as I know they have suffered less than 100 casualties. I just don't where where some hysteria is coming from?
>>78218215
Assad has had massive trouble consolidating a fighting force there's pockets of resistance all over the country, it's an entire clusterfuck.
Every single one of these offensives you may say would have been better off if a million different things had happened.
These pockets of resistance continue to exist all over the country, when they get to the point they near destruction they join a ceasefire and promptly saved the bulk of their fighters travel freely into other rebel held territories and continue to fight. Add to this Turkey supplying men and arms to the Allepo region.
There's not a lot that can be done.
>>78220829
Considering they've been having manpower deficits already, that's a pretty big deal, yes.
>>78220293
Assad got cocky and overextended, ISIS must had a morale boost after the Orlando shooting too.
>>78221201
Holy shit, ISIS is literally Chaos Undivided. KEK
>>78221467
I know right, that almost makes them likeable but then you remember they hate all things funs and enjoyable.
>>78221201
Assad reasoned that they would be diverting forces to the defense of Manbij, but the SDF actually abandoned their push on Raqqa because they considered it too heavily defended after having probed it earlier. Truth is, I think Assad should be focusing on Securing Homs Allepo and Damascus right now. These pockets of resistance all over the countryside should be crushed.

>>78221873
This is silly and I don't believe it. Why would Assad go out of his way to help his potential rival?
>>78222327
Muh niqqa
Is there any reason not to just chop up the entire area? Sunni/Shia/Christian/Kurd from Iraq to Syria and (just to piss of the roaches) Turkey?
Seriously. The less land and power any one group has the better. And if one starts getting uppity we turn the others against it to knock it down a few notches.
Divided they fall as we laugh from civilization.
>>78221044
Assad's army numbers are what, 90,000? If anything good job not losing that many.
Anyway, please Assad finish off Damascus as we all know the amount of troops needed for large city urban warfare is draining your strength farther east.
If manpower is such an issue, and there is no use in attacking east, then spend your army securing the only worthy part of Syria which is everything bordering Lebanon, the sea, and Turkey plus 100 kilometers inward. The Desert can come after.
FSA is the biggest threat to Syrian national security.
>>78222439

>>78222339
He wasn't going out of his way, look at this strategically. The SDF are making gains fighting ISIS, the only reason the US didn't support the Kurds at first is because of protest from Turkey who preferred the FSA. The FSA failed, ISIS came to power.
Assad needs to gobble up holdings in as much of the country as possible in order to consolidate his power. Raqqa is a major prize for him in that regard. He already controls part of Aleppo.
He or rather his generals were hoping to slip in and grab Raqqa undefended while ISIS was off fighting around Manbij.
>>78222518
The issue with Syria is he also wants to protect the country from Balkanizing, so he's not trying to consolidate holdings in one area of the country, he's trying to consolidate the whole country. As soon as strong stalemate lines are drawn up it will result in a break.
>>78222439
This mess wouldn't even be that big a deal if "civilization" didn't support and arm the instigators.
>>78222916
I have a strange feeling about Turkey becoming a defacto ally of Assad.
>>78223024
That's the interesting thing, I'm sure Turkey has absolutely zero interest in allowing the Kurds to keep taking areas. So maybe they really do start supporting ISIS. They've definitely increased support to the FSA in the areas bordering Turkey.
There are competing interests in this battle, but honestly I very much doubt that Turkey gets pushed into the new Eastern block through this. If Kurdistan is created, but they get into the EU. I'm sure they'll consider that a worthy trade.

90k is not that much, understand that he needs to garrison his territory, patrol, operate crackdowns of islamists in his own cities, he can't just commit all the army on an offensive.
>>78222916
It is a valid concern but not actionable, as US milfags would say. His strength is all over the place which makes it difficult to overwhelm enemy forces even more so without dedicated Russian support, and I hope he came to that realization after Raqqa.
>>78223532
Russia already knows this to be true. This is why they're seeking a political solution, they ceasefires were designed to free up forces to fight ISIS and Al Nusra.
The issue is that the rebel factions that are party to the peace talks transfer men and equipment to rebel groups not party to the talks in order to continue the fight.
>>78223532
Syria should just give all expenses paid trips to anyone who wants to be an EU refugee.
Kills two stones with one bird.
>>78223357
Turkey will never join the EU simply because of the size of the population. I think Turkey just waits for heavy clashes between FSA/YPG or SAA/YPG to jump in. These clashes will happen, the only question is when will they happen.

the damascus pockets are far more difficult than the desert push to tabqa. theres war there with tanks and snipers and bombings since 2012. remember the gopros of tanks rolling in a city chaos and getting btfoed? that was there. its a hellhole.
theres been some very slight process in the city right next to darayya and in east ghouta but it is very far from getting finished off. and then theres that other damascus pocket thats half isis half isis lite where theres been some infighting recently.
meanwhile a little to the north i dont even know what hezbollah and co are trying to accomplish in madaya and zabadani. they just siege and starve the population.
Savebump
At this point, it makes you wonder if Russia and the USA or just fuckin with the Mudscum to maximize the filthy muslim body count.
Probably not, but it is a good image to think about.
>>78222518
>>78222916
oh yeah forgot to say the oil rich parts are around deir ezzor and raqqa so he cant let them alone. the oil tycoon thats funding the desert hawks was supposed to take control of these fields on the way to tabqa but they failed miserably as we saw
So Mohammad Jobar was the commander responsible for the SAA Raqqa fuck up.
The action was taken in response to US/SDF movements towards Raqqa in an attempt to beat them there. As typical, it was a ruse. The SDF are going to push along the north.
But Jobar is an idiot with a typically inflated Arab ego. When the Russians worked out the ruse, they instructed the SAA and allies to withdraw. Most of them did.
Jobar didn't. He thought he could take on ISIS with a 1km wide front.
He got cut off and destroyed.
With no actual threat to Raqqa from the SDF at this time, the SAA are pulling back to Ithriya and are likely going to focus elsewhere. Probably southern Aleppo.
More interestingly, the RuAF assets that left during the ceasefire and wind down have started returning to the Hmeymim airbase.

Fat man messed up all the glory he had from Lattakia and Palmyra. If they want to get it back they'll send Desert Hawks to Lattakia and close the border with Turkey completely then move on to Jisr al-shughur so they can look down on Idlib.

I'll do a photo dump
Here is a beautiful picture of Russian Troops and a Mi-8AMTSh at Hmeimim, June 2016.
Some cats at the Irkut plant (produces Su-30SM, soon will produce MS-21 too), June 2016.
Recent exercise of a few Su-35S pilots back in Russia, June 2016.
Sunset picture of a Su-30SM with the airbrake up, June 2016.
More from that same photoshoot.
Unfortunately some of the photos are too large for 4chan.
A few more of the Su-30SM, June 2016. Hopefully I can post all of these.
Nice pics USAbro
Wanted to upload a picture of the schematics of a new Russian icebreaker that has a sauna, a basketball court, a gym, and a pool but alas that phot is too large as well.
Here is an RAF Tornado, sometime in Q1 2016.
>>78231694
Thanks buddy
All my recent Russian military pictures are too large for 4chan. Here are some from Eurosatory 2016.
do you have more info about the incoming "deyrezor offensive" ?
because this sounds pretty weird after what happened on hama-raqqa highway (Athriya-Tabqa=80km while Palmyra-DEZ=200km).
don't forget that the SAA has been trying to take Arak and T3 since they retook Palmyra (very long time now) and they are still stuck (i read that IS advanced to the palmyra silos, took talila crossroad and killed dozens of SAA soldiers in VBIED attacks btw)
>>78232240
The only offensive going on is the one in East of Ghouta, the rest, i don't know anymore
SAA regiment that have recently taken a slice of Eastern Ghouta.
And yeah Ivan has ressurected
>thank God we left the desert
So it was actually a planned not-so-terrible retreat to focus on the East Ghouta pocket, that's sounds sweet, the SAA should focus on the inner Syria, not on the desert.
Also, you guys noticed since the return of Hezbollah to the South of Aleppo, the jihadist offensive stalled?
It show us the power level of the groups fighting this war.
God bless Hezbollah

Oops, wrong pic
