Still waiting on what happened at Deir Ezzor.
Put #deirezzor in twitter if you want to follow live. 4 hours ago a VBIED crashed the front gate of the airbase after all day clashes. Pro IS source says IS has breached the base. Nothing new from either side for the last 4 hours.
I love set piece battles like this. Fortified airbase with excellent terrain, defenses, and airpower vs crazed heavily armed suicidal zerg rushes. This is some good action.
>>27476707
Could have been time delay air burst
>>27482194
What's the strategic advantage of capturing DEZ?
>>27480029
so its basically a stalemate?
>>27483125
The airbase? It has a large group of SAA republican guard on it. I don't know the exact number. IS capturing the base would a disaster for the SAA as some of their best units would be decapitated by IS and the rest of the city would fall. That's a strategic loss.
However at this time the SAA and their star General Zahreddine have be able to defend the base as it's on a cliff in parts surrounded by minefields. They have decided to hold out against endless waves of IS fanatics and so far they have.
>>27476069
Hope they release a video where they lose body parts.

I read it already that was from yesterday not today or tonight and the number of IS killed in Deir Zour was closer to 40 or 50.
The only grain of truth is if you add up all IS deaths from two separate fronts in Syria it would equal 150 because the YPG killed a bunch of them yesterday morning in Hasakah province.
This is just gold.

This is one the BEST videos I've seen coming from Syria! Thank you anon! Really fucking AWESOME!
I'm learning russian and my russian is not good but he mentioned that Spetsnaz snipers are active in the area but have not shown them in the video.

Vague new information in Deir Zour. Pro rebel(not IS) post of continued clashes around the airbase early this morning with heavy SAA/IS shelling, heavy weapons being used.
Pro rebel source is saying ISIS is being silent about the combat around the airbase right now. This to me means either they just suffered a large mount of casualties and do not want to talk about it or they want a media blackout on their movements. Either could be true.
>>27484938

>that shit eating grin on McCain's face when he suggests giving "FSA" stingers
he's not even hiding it tbh
Also the subtext is amazingly clear. It's not that the FSA are the good guys, its that another country DARES to have a foreign policy that isn't in line with Obongo's retardation. That's literally whats triggering all this, there is no regard or thought for actual policy in event Assad were to be taken out.

Here's an English version of the Syria Russian airbase tour:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7trSk4mh7-o
>>27486485
In Northern Hama this morning a major battle is shaping up. Artillery followed up after the bombers. This is classic pre assault fire.
>>27486664
thanks!
>>27486583
>stingers
russians fly too high for them to work. plus the law of unintended consequences is just too great... they'd sell them to someone or they'd use them themselves to shoot down US airliners. also, russians would "lose" a bunch of Iglas too in Yemen or some other ME country.
>>27486583
Someone need to tell him that war is over.
>>27486728

>>27486666
In the SAA Northern Hama offensive rebels are already claiming to have blown up some tanks and BMPs. Strap on to your jimmies because a rustling is going happen.
>>27483602
It is a civil war. After everything is said and done, the ex-rebels will still need to be repatriated into the country. That being said, I get the feeling this is more of a move out of desperation than it is out of kindness or foresight.
>Heavy airstrikes+artillery preparation fire on #KafrNabudah, #KfarZita + #Lataminah. #SAA offensive expected. #Syria
SAA/russians are getting ready for offensive...
>>27486790
I hope the SAA has a reserve force because the first wave supposedly lost at least 4 tanks.
After the rain of Russian bombs apparently it was raining TOWs.
Don't lose hope yet pro Assads the Northern Hama attack is still ongoing. One of the biggest SAA offensive's I have seen in a long time. The Russians planned it too as a version of their deep battle. They are attacking on a wide front.
That said pro rebel sources are whispering to each other that it looks like some of the SAA convoy's got wholesale mascaraed on one of the axis.
>>27487016

>>27483702
According to the reporter no Speznaz forces were shown in the video. He said they were used to pinpoint enemy snipers and reconnaissance as well as some fighting.
The video has some general information regarding the situation in Damascus suburbs.
He is showing a night offensive by the forces stationed there, claiming success. He speaks about how the night attack was superseded by a constant aerial bombardment for a few days, but that the enemy is entranced in tunnels.
Then in the morning he said the enemy launched a counter offensive, but the troops there were ready for this.
In the closing interview and words, he says that even though the attack is going well, the enemy can stop it any time simply by moving their forces and attacking a different point, which would force the troops there to stop the offensive to send fighters there.
not a word for word, but in general that's what's going on.

It has nothing to do with who is supporting who
It is all about:
1. Russia did not ask permission
2. Russian is supporting the man the US painted as a "villan" for the last 5 years - yet Russia has won global public support for this
3. This is the 3rd time Russia has bitched Obama on the Syrian crisis (specifically)
4. (Issue only the truly long sighted politicians are worried about) This builds Russia's "strong man" status and helps them facilitate their Eurasian Economic Union (local) and their image as an alternative to the US (global)

>>27487490
I don't know. Committing some forces for a push seems reasonable.
Waiting till winter is over is going to give the rebels time to adapt to the new weapons and aerial bombardments. To learn the limitations of the Russian air force.
I think trying to shove while the enemy is off balance is a good idea, as long as you don't over commit.

From Robert Baer's See no Evil:

I remember reading in one of Robert Baers books that back in the day the muslim brotherhood had buried one near an airport and wanted the CIA to tell them what plane a president was on so they could take it out

There was a sizable amount of man portable AA missiles in Syria a few years back. But seems like most of them were used up and they had no resupply.
They still have a few left, but it seems like the SyAF is flying slow helicopters on pretty low altitudes, without being shot down, pretty regularly.
I'm hearing reports that there is a SAA offensive being undertaken in Northern Homs and nearby areas in the Ldlib province.

>>27487753
memes aside, the US was supplying the Kurds and some opposition groups for a while. But never with AA missiles. It would be a major policy shift if they do now.
The lack of portable AA missiles also suggests (in my opinion) the US forced Saudis and Qatar to not supply such either.
>>27487767
Not supplying AA has been American FP for decades. If Obama breaks this, he is really throwing away the rulebook. Not a good idea, considering what happened in E.Ukraine

The intensity of the Russian air strikes on terrorist targets "Islamic state" in Syria is growing. This was during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin told Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

>Russian missiles fired from the caspian sea have hit targets in Syria
wtf mate isnt that like two thousand miles away? what did they use?
>>27487797
Four Russian Navy warships have fired a total of 26 missiles at the position of the terrorist group Islamic State in Syria, Russia’s Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu announced. The missiles were fired from the Caspian Sea.
“Four missile ships launched 26 cruise missiles at 11 targets. According to objective control data, all the targets were destroyed. No civilian objects sustained damage,” Shoigu said.
The missiles flew some 1,500 km before reaching their targets, probing their efficiency.

Do the ships from the Casspian flottila even have cruise missiles that can strike from so far? From what I found out the Buyan's and Gepards dont have a such a weapon. I smell BS.
>>27487948
They have tomahawk-like missiles.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3M-54_Klub
3M-14 - DOD designation SS-N-30A. An Inertial guidance land attack variant deployed by the Russian Navy. The submarine-launched weapon has a basic length of 6.2 m (20 ft), with a 450 kg (990 lb) warhead. Its range is 1,500–2,500 km (930–1,550 mi). Its subsonic terminal speed is Mach 0.8.
3M-14T - DOD designation SS-N-30A; is the Inertial guidance land attack variant which is deployed by the Russian Navy. A surface ship with VLS launched missile, with thrust vectoring booster, its basic length is 8.9 m (29 ft), its warhead weight and other performance are the same as the 3M-14.
>>27487964
?
According to wiki, the Buyan class can use 3M-14/3M-14T missiles which have a range of 2500km

Enough Ruskie shitposting, recent confirmed events
-IS took 5 Iraqi army bases in Baiji and the city is about to fall completely into IS hands
-DeZ still at a stalemate, with a few IS probes here and there, conflicting claims as the SAA claims to have killed "hundreds" of IS fighters while IS as posted pics from the city recently.

How would such a launch work with Iran? They would have to announce it way before to the Iranian armed forces right? Cause it can't be really pleasant to have cruise missiles just chilling and cruising across your territory.

>>27488556
That was me who mentioned the "60 tanks" and I was talking about the SAA offensive to break the IS Keweris siege a week ago.
I never said 60 tanks were destroyed. I said the SAA brought in 60 tanks for the offensive and it boggled my mind why they couldn't make any progress with 60 tanks.
Later on the real number turned out to be 40 tanks and not 60 but the SAA offensive stalled out regardless.
>>27489035
No. ISIS actually has a video up attacking Houthis
>>27489042

>>27489037
anyway since I passed out during the beginning of the north Hama offensive and just now got back on it appears all the talk of SAA armor taking loses is true. Pro rebel sources are claiming they inflicted heavy casualties on SAA armor when they advanced.
Pro regime sources said the SAA took Lataminah but that is being disputed.
All that said I doubt this is how the SAA envisioned their first offensive backed by "official" Russian airpower.

>Mil mi 24
Risky but that's it's job. If it got decent support and no serious AA danger then most will survive.
>>27489256
Russia will need an imperial fuckton of ground grunts if it wants to keep Syria. It's just a question of how much it can assign resources because China is in it for the loots in the Central Asia too. This move may well end up making Russia A LOT more vulnerable to China and the US and EU want absolute jack shit to do in this conflict, but keep their own bases clear.

And tanks dont explode because the fuel sytem went full of fire, it explodes because the munitions stored inside went full fire.

Hopefully Russia don't send ground troops at any point. I imagine what's left of the SAA and whatever Iran can send should be enough. Russia leading the offensive would be a horrible mistake, and would end up just like Afghanistan I imagine.

Dont think so. They are not fighting a insurgency.
In afghanistan they did not hold ground. In Syria they hold ground so it will be kinda easy.
>>27487376
has the repub guard always been this well equipped? looks like that guy has all new uniform and gear. did the russians bring all that?
Where do the Kurds play into the whole civil war situation? Have they simply secured Kurdish Syria? Are they fighting against the government and rebels or what? What's Russia's stance on them, if any? Assad's stance on them?
>>27489664
I can't comment on Ruskies thoughts on the Kurds, but I do hope that this is the birth of a new fledgling nation in the middle east
>>27489608

>>27487840
It's clearly a deployed airbase in Syria. Look at the uniforms and the terrain.
>>27489664
At his point I think Kurds are more pro-Assad anti-ISIS. Many Kurds believe that Turkey is directly supporting ISIS (which it definitely looks like tbh)
In a change up from the TOW videos from today in this video rebels claiming to have captured a T-72 tank in the Hama offensive.
What a disaster for the SAA. They couldn't even move forward after a heavy Russian air bombardment.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilqcCnOq06Q
>>27489652
It's not like ISIS are going to give up the time tested advantage of fighting against a foreign enemy (which is sinking and blending into the civilian population) and face the Russian offensive head on. ISIS know they cannot defend their currently held areas in a conventional conflict so what else can happen other than have the conflict descend into insurgency?

The Russians don't need to save the troops at Deir Ezzor; the Republican Guard stationed there have dug in and defeated numerous ISIS assaults. I don't think the Russians are even operating that far east yet anyway. This is the general in charge there.
>>27490862
Depends on weather they want them to retreat or to wipe them out.

This offensive is on going as of now, so far it looks like the SyAA has made good progress but at high cost, they might be able to make up for it if they keep rolling on though.
Interesting as it's the first time we've seen Russian hinds operating alongside the Syrians.
There's a good thread on leddit's r/SyrianCivilWar if anyone's interested. People are saying the rebel's claims might be exaggerated but it's too early to tell.
>>27491025
>rebel's claims might be exaggerated
I think they very well are. I seriously doubt the rebel claims of not losing an inch of ground to this combined SAA/Russian steamroller.
I think the captured t-72 with kontakt-1 was probably the only good news for the rebels.
Destroying a dozen or so militia T-55s and T-62s isn't much of an accomplishment when the SAA has warehouses filled with the damn things.
Some TOW strikes worth posting from Hama
>>27491009
I've heard about 8 vehicles taken from the SAA, 7 destroyed and one captured. Seemed to me like the most accurate count, taking into account the rebels are saying 18-20 and the government supporters 2-3.

>>27488489
>Why are they so shit at armoured warfare?
The same reason Israel got BTFO in Lebanon.
Except the moderate terrorists have an endless supply of TOW-2s and the Syrian armor is much older.
>>27491227
if it's a sound hit though most of the time you can sort of assume the tank is compromised no?
I'm sure there's lucky chances of nothing being really effected, but something is taking some kind of damage.
>>27491184
Yeah I was mixing up Southern Front with the northern rebels.
However, I thought there were a couple groups in the north that were Tow-vetted.
ITT: Durkas and their fanboys getting BTFO.
Based Putin.
>>27491245
It is a single hot projectile "spike" that penetrates the armor so it might just hit someone on the leg or bounce off, or not penetrate at all, or penetrate some damaging nothing other than the armor itself.
>>27491122
I hope the rebels were just doing damage control, it'll be a bit embarrassing for the Russians/Syrians if they fuck up the first combined op.

First link yes.
2nd link was a convoy, and there is nothing you can do about that.
900mm after ERA? They have nothing to stop that.
>>27491356
Looks like a T-62, I assume that the fuel system on the T-62 is not different from the T-55, The TOW struck the drivers area, therefore missing the onboard tank rounds and the turret was not directly aiming infront of it but to the left.
The HEAT ray killed the driver, passed trough the crew interior striking the engine. It goes fire and the gunner, loader and commander bail out with no serious leg wound.
>>27491455
How can they defend against it once its been fired? Or is the key to make sure the threat is dealt with before it even can fire?

Why would they supply them with Tandem warheads? That's kinda too high tech to give way.

If anything this war has separated the wheat form the chaff; anyone who hasn't ran away from the fight isn't going to, they're in it to the end. Even if Damascus fell (unlikely at this point) the country would crumble under ethnic lines, the army would become a militia and fight on.
