The General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation: Unilateral observance of a truce by government forces of the SAR is meaningless

19 September 2016

The head of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Lieutenant-General Sergei Rudskoy, during the briefing reported that the truce in Syria by the "moderate opposition" is not being respected. According to Rudskogo, there are systematic attacks on the position of the Syrian government army. At the same time, Rudskoy noted that in such a situation, the Syrian troops unilaterally obeyed the truce to lose all meaning.

Interfax cites the statement of the representative of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation:

Only for the past day the number of attacks from the gangs was 53. Since the beginning of the declaration of the cessation of hostilities regime, it has been violated by the opposition 302 times. We consider the observance (truce) unilaterally by the Syrian government forces senseless.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation: Unilateral observance of a truce by government forces of the SAR is meaningless

In addition, the main defense department of the Russian Federation reports that it has become aware of the preparation of the so-called "moderate opposition" to attack the positions of the Syrian troops. Particular attention is drawn to the fact that, according to the Russian Defense Ministry, the “opposition” is preparing this offensive together with the militants of the renamed itself “Dzhebhat al-Nusra” (banned in the Russian Federation).

Sergey Rudskoy:

We are witnessing the merging of the moderate opposition and Dzhebhat an-Nusra and preparing them for joint offensive actions.

Recall that from today the United States should have begun to coordinate actions with the Russian Federation in the framework of the anti-terrorist operation. The goals were defined: these are the terrorist groups Dzhebhat al-Nusra and ISIS. However, after the “rebranding”, “Dzhebhat al-Nusra” predictably announced that it was also a “moderate opposition” ...

    "I do not call for unleashing a war. NO. But we can supply modern air defense systems. This will be our first strike."
    
    Well, at least equip the ground parts of the SAR with modern MANPADS, train personnel - who's stopping?
    These are government troops, with Syria we have long-standing and long-term military-technical cooperation ...
    So what's the problem ?
    And then we hoped that the barmalei didn’t have aviation ... There is, as it is ... Coalition, and itiushakalovmamat ...

      And what will the MANPADS - strike UAV even night? Or F-16 / 18, which leans back with 5km adjustable?
      
      To establish air defense - a radar field is necessary, it is absent and impossible to create under current conditions.
      
      Plus, where's the air defense? In DeZ, it can only be delivered by teleport. For the limit on the dimension - that will fit in Mi-8.

        It is extremely dangerous to keep the MANPADS workers in the troops, in view of the rather low stamina and the repeated heaping of a heap of ATGM / RPG / Patroshok. And if there were needles with working batteries?
        
        So, in recent months, the SAR Air Force has been breaking records for combat losses.

  This is why the Americans need all sorts of "truces", so that their brainchildren are prepared. The recent bombing of the Syrian government forces fits in perfectly with this scheme.

      Yes, for no reason. If the Army of the SAR and the air forces did not go for a temporary ceasefire, the State Department would scream to the whole world that the bloodthirsty Russia was bombing and did not want to stop.
      Therefore, our gracefully took advantage of the opportunity provided to them to give the amers once again publicly messed up. And they didn’t miscalculate, since the State Department’s cynicism is very predictable, only the deaf-mute deaf can hope that they will not throw.
      It’s a pity that the last trick of the White House cost the lives of more than 60 military ATS.
      As a result, the statement of our General Staff of the RF Armed Forces
      We consider compliance (truce) unilaterally by the Syrian government forces pointless.

        And do not try.
        Barmalei with amers is no better, or maybe worse.
        75 years ago, the world was different, not unipolar, as they say now. The states did not have the same influence as now. And the USSR, this is not today's Russia.
        Therefore, you have to reckon with world public opinion. Unfortunately.

The situation and the picture - one to one - that in Syria, that in the Donbass ...
The director is also one in two persons, and absolutely not creative, acts according to the same scenario ...

They are waiting, wanting, passionately wanting to drag Russia into ground combat ... Partially this has already happened in Syria ...
I don’t know, maybe it’s worth showing your teeth and "flashing" the pilots of the S-400 coalition in combat mode, so that they at least once really feel at gunpoint and the possibility of being destroyed?
A dangerous option, but it’s also silently to bear the rudeness of a robber who burst into the owner’s apartment, which we are not just visiting, but for the purpose of his physical protection, it is already impossible ...
Who is here from the air defense, tell me the most realistic option to cool the hot heads of coalition aviation ...
Yes, and the videoconferencing system can also hit the places where the amersky special forces are among the barmaley - after which it is wildly to apologize and say that "the mistake came out" ...

  1) C-400 stands where only Poseidons fly, and in neutral waters. If they land there, it will be scandal No.1. From DeZ to the nearest army positions, more than 200 km in a straight line. Even C-400 will not help in any way (which is generally at 700 km from DeZ).
  2) VKS can meet Australian Hornets from cover and clipping groups. They control the areas of operations of the US Special Forces and cover the strike groups flying to missions. Plus, it’s not clear where the Special Forces are, where are the Turks, where are the generally cheap pro-Turkish Babakhs. A reliable option, to again tap on the New Syrian Army in the south, but there the king of Jordan may be offended, his brainchild. Yes, and she is harmless enough.

  They will make a normal program, they say Kerry tried as best he could and Obama joined in to solve the world. But the bloody tyrant Assad is incorrigible, treacherously violated the generally observed ceasefire signed by Kerry-Lavrov, began genocide of peaceful bearded kittens in Aleppo and Hama, it is necessary to move on to plan B and introduce new sanctions, supply all types of weapons to the women, it is possible to inflict selective strikes on the forces "regime" with cruise missiles, etc.
  
  In fact, if now the army team will begin to kill somewhere, then something like this will be.

It makes no sense when with the successful conduct of hostilities having full compliance with the rules and treaties of the United Nations (interstate agreements on the provision of military assistance), suddenly they find that without a third superfluous (without the advice of an outsider, without a fifth wheel in a cart, etc., etc.), namely, the USA, nothing happens ...
But is it not clear to you for what purpose this country climbed up at the negotiating table and simply ignored all the rules of action of the Allies? Remove the American military from the horizon ... sorry, the theater of operations of government troops of the SAR and the Russian Aerospace Forces .... Stop looking for advice and help in an empty basin ...

There Kerry replied, Assad was to blame for everything:
The US Secretary of State in an interview with CNN criticized the Russian Federation for failing to enforce a ceasefire in Syria.

Russia should stop playing the game of public and self-promotion and begin to ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid in Syria. This was in an interview with CNN US Secretary of State John Kerry. The politician criticized the Russian Federation for its inability to ensure compliance with the cessation of hostilities in the SAR.

— We urge Russia to stop playing the game of public and self-promotion and to ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid- says Kerry.

Russian authorities should put pressure on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, Kerry is sure. The Secretary of State said that the Syrian government, despite all the agreements, is blocking the delivery of humanitarian aid.

- Let me say very clearly: Russia has signed an agreement providing for the cessation of hostilities. Assad said that he will fulfill it. Then he should stop and allow the creation of a joint center that would allow Russia and the United States to coordinate actions to prevent the terrible incident that happened yesterday that we all acknowledge and regret- said the Secretary of State.

Shoot down American planes, as the most ardent ones advise, is impossible. Who should bring them down? Syrians? This is a reason for a direct attack by the United States on the Syrian army, which they so need. It is necessary to draw the attention of the entire world community to the fact that the Americans have never hit barmaley with their bombs. This is a good reason to ban them from flying to Syria at all. What, it seems to me, is Churkin now engaged in the UN.

At least one thing can successfully complete the government of the Russian Federation, except for the design of the yards with playgrounds? Our military is ready to destroy the hydra in its den, in my opinion, before it is too late. Or again a retreat? They will again throw the legitimate government to the Anglo-Americans, now Syria, will betray the interests of our country and people to the joy of liberoids of all stripes and cosmopolitan Trotskyites. And all sacrifices will be in vain. So it was in Afghanistan, it cannot be repeated in Syria.

de facto in Aleppo today there is only one side ready to negotiate, abide by the ceasefire and withdraw troops to pass UN humanitarian columns - this is the Syrian government army

  And it was calculated ...! To show that the United States does not control anything there and everything was beaten on them (in spite of a lot of help with weapons and financing) THE DAMKS got out of control .. Which was required to prove again (I hope the last)! We’ll wet ... It seems that the Turks should help ..

It’s very dangerous to shoot down Amer’s gliders, it’s better for all the coalition members to just say loudly comrades, on such and such a date we will destroy the runways of all the airfields from which your hamsters fly, in order to avoid casualties, we offer you our respected partners to relocate .. away.

  Offhand: Turkey, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman ... this is what is in the immediate vicinity ... there in every country there is a NATO base, or even not one. To bomb everyone? It will be too much. Hard there the Americans settled ...

Enough for the Russian leadership to run on a rake pleasing "partners"

diplomacy is the ability to run a rake and use cosmetics hiding the results of this process

If the opposition took up arms, then this is already an enemy. Wet everyone in a row, there is no other way if they do not want to peacefully.

Syria and Ukraine practically copy each other’s military processes. US hands Nazis and Islamists carry out aggression and break agreements.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation: Unilateral observance of a truce by government forces of the SAR is meaningless

Deep thought.

This raises the question, and enter Syria in order to negotiate with the Americans (well, do not save
Assad burst in there), seeking, in fact, begging for agreements from the Yankees to forget the Donbass, is this not pointless or even mean?

Good morning, wise men woke up.
This is the result that everyone who is not quite good at predicting even before the discussion of this "Syrian Minsk".
So, what is next? Let's express our concern and go further to bend over to "friends and partners"?

This is a good reason to ban them from flying to Syria at all.

Yeah, yeah. And who will forbid them?
Even if someone dares to say such impolite words in relation to "friends and partners" - an American simply spit on them.

But the ignorant will probably be forced to apologize to the Americans. There will be a reason to rejoice that “we have been noticed! They are talking about us!” (C) Banderlog.

If you remove the emotions in the comments, you can find out the following:
1. All this truce was catching live bait, pecked.
2. Now there will be a reciprocal move, and the plan is already there, it remains to implement.
3. I believe there will be an airstrike on the terrorist base, where there are American and British instructors. Ours will say sorry, they didn’t know, or vice versa they’ll harshly say that everyone in the terrorist camp is considered an adversary.
4. There will be further escalation of the conflict, Syria will most likely still be divided, part of the Turks, part of Iran, part of the type of independent principalities. Assad in the current situation remains just a symbol and it is necessary to arrange his departure in such a way as to suit both Russia and the West.
