>>79238119
why do arab armies suck at war but arab militias are pretty good?
>>79238368
because the """militias""" have shekels
besides, compared to similar incidents with other arab armies the SAA is doing very well
>>79238521
Only post-Russian advisors and airstrikes, though.
>>79238842
Even beforehand, considering the state that the SAA was in.
Libya crumbled easily
>>79238944
Lybia was doing fine before NATO bombed them to oblivion.
>>79239250
Libya wasn't surrounded by countries harboring rebels.
The SAA is incompetent and inexperienced but they put up a better fight than most analysts imagined. They were meant to have collapsed by mid 2012 at most.
>>79238944
this >>79239250
In the Clinton emails, I read that Qaddhafi, though asking for some material aid from the EU to finish the war 'quickly', he was in no real danger of collapsing. Then they got the bright idea of doing the exact opposite.
Make no mistake, the same thing would have happened to Syria, if not for the actions of Russia and Iran.
>>79239557
And Syria isn't?
>Turkey
>Jordan
>Iraq
Just before the Russian swooped in and saved the day, Syria was just baby-steps from collapsing.

>>79239691
Syria was meant to collapse 4 years ago.
The territory differences between now and before russian involvement includes only Palmyra and small areas in Latakia and Aleppo.
Russia did save Syria, but the SAA was not collapsing, it was a stalemate with little differences being made over the past years.

I-i-it's just a coincidence, go- guys!
>>79237677
they had to retreat 60 km into the desert, it won't be falling any time soon lol. heres what happened
they lost their airport that they captured after they were air dropped into nearby hills. they were supposed to secure the airport perimeter and build blockades around the roads to prevent VBIEDs but they saw an opening in the checkpoints on the road to the town so they pushed forward.
long story short, they moved a strike team forward and overextended while the guys back at the base weren't able to set up any meaningful defenses. IS drove a carbomb past the forward team and into the newly captured base, forcing pretty much everyone left alive to retreat
>>79236590
Ivan stalks syrians on facebook and talks to them, reports from there. He's a nobody but he's a pretty cool guy that brings us news we otherwise wouldn't know about.
>>79241555
without the airport, no reinforcements outside of air drops. they had no artillery, no heavy armor. just technicals, light arms and some RPGs really. seems like it was bound to fail the second they couldn't maintain the airport defenses.
>>79241555
>>79241977
Then, why in the fuck they attack a Stronghold if you have nothing to siege the town and a airport? New Meme Army is more retarded than Saudis
>>79240562
You realize that it was the Iraqi air force, right?

this is just fucking sad
>>79242735
The fun part is, the IAF probably used Russian hand-me-downs
>>79242887
i know just look at this video, mi-35 and mi-28 helicopters were mainly used.
https://twitter.com/IraqiSecurity/status/748262892986843136?lang=en-gb
>>79242887
Iraqi Su-25s are from Russian military stock. Iraq's Mi-35 and Mi-28NE are new builds purchased with mostly American aid I believe.
>>79243451

Still doesn't have /sg/ in the top part. Fail.
>>79247262
remove the kurds
>>79247262
Either remove the Kurds altogether or split them into different factions. The SDF is pretty cancerous.
The Taliban should be removed altogether. They don't even operate in the Middle East by definition.
Pic unrelated. In the Latakia province don't know when.
>>79247730

Please kill yourself.
>>79248725
I would do that. The SDF is nothing but another American proxy force nowadays like the New meme army.

http://www.meforum.org/441/why-arabs-lose-wars
That article is mandatory reading for why arab armies suck ass at war, its a cultural attitude that they have to organised militaries.
Their militias tend to fight well because they're purely volunteers who come to the defence of their community during times of war and strife, while the professional armies are generally for people to shit to make it as oil princes or are regime cronies (for the officer corp) and the enlisted are conscripts, or, in the case of the republican guards, or government militias, are essentially ethnic militias (like the Baath brigades, 4th mechanised, NDF, Tiger Forces). A really good example of something that is a militia but essentially the best arab military force is Hezbollah which essentially forms a state within a state.
I wrote half a thesis on these arab internal cultural attitudes and how that affects their politics and militaries before being shoved into writing one on Turkish diplomacy (which I'm currently working on another article for)
>>79249688
I never saw them use a different flag but I don't know. One would think they would have a different flag than their Kurdish counterparts.
I can ask someone more knowledgeable on Twitter like @BM-21 or someone of that sort if you want, although it may take some time before I get an answer.
Pic is MiG-31BMs, Jume 2016.
>>79250502

>>79239557
It wasn't just the SAA though, Iranian-backed Hezbollah was one of the first to jump in to save the SAA. No one came for Gaddafi.

Got it. Already updated the Twitter accounts. I'll try to update what I can and I'll do more posting in the future like maybe translating Russian articles or something along those lines.
>>79252361
No one was around for Gaddafi, in Syria, Hezbollah could just drive across the border form Jordan and they were in friendly territory.
No militant organization or Libyan-friendly country was anywhere near Libya.

>which was more interesting to you ?
Much of a muchness really, I think Turkish geopolitics and diplomacy is really interesting since it has been the same ever since the Turks became the sick man of Europe, and basically consists of playing the Great Powers off against eachother for Turkey's best interests, which you can see even now in Erdogan's steps towards rapprochement with Moscow since I think he sees the writing on the wall in that the FSA, NSyA and ISIS aren't going to win and he's going to have to contend with an independent K*rdish state right on the border that will cause untold woes for Turkey, plus HATO is getting pretty tired of his bullshit.
Middle East geopolitics between the arab states has always fascinated me, especially in regards to why these states see western liberalism as anathema to their societies (which I have written an essay on). I've always found the almost animosity between the Levantine states and the gulf states interesting. I'm trying to get a scholarship and shekels saved so that I can apply for one of those UN internships in Beirut as a political researcher/monitor, since I especially find the fact that Hezbollah has become a state within a state, and seemingly managed to earn the support of a large swathe of non-shia lebanese society / is no longer vitriolically hated by all after the 2006 war very interesting.
I'm also quarter Lattakian masterrace so that probably informs my interest, though my arabic is why-tier bad.
