Syrian army advances in Aleppo and Homs province

77
There are reports from Syria about the successful offensive of the Syrian troops in the southern outskirts of Aleppo. Recall that the Syrian government army announced its withdrawal from the ceasefire regime, when the Russian defense ministry stated that neither the militants nor the so-called “moderate opposition” of the ceasefire regime.

According to the information service AMN, Syrian troops in the course of fierce battles with terrorists from the factions of the Front al-Nusra and Jaish al-Fatah (banned in the Russian Federation) captured several blocks in the south of Aleppo. It should be noted that we are talking about those areas that were under the occupation of militants since 2012 year.

Syrian troops took control of a fertilizer plant in an area called Old Ramuseh. In the area of ​​Al-Hamdaniya, the SAR forces liberated from the militants the previously densely populated quarter in which the buildings are located, from the gaping window apertures of which a view opens to the positions of the militants "Jaish al-Fath". Syrian soldiers use this advantage to build on their success and eliminate as many terrorists as possible.

Against this background, the operation of the Syrian troops in the province of Homs. There, military men of the SAR army are opposed by militants of the so-called “Islamic state” (banned in the Russian Federation). Offensive lead units of the 11th tank Syrian armed forces divisions.

Syrian army advances in Aleppo and Homs province


The main goal is to take control of the summit of Jebel al-Shaer, on which a large group of jihadists sat. The operation is supported from the air, which has already allowed the Syrian troops to take control of the heights nearby with Jebel al-Shaer.

    Properly urinate demons. Stop snot breeding. After all, it was absolutely clear to everyone that the bandits would not abide by the terms of the ceasefire, but use this pause for regrouping, transporting ammunition and rest.
    Russia understood all this perfectly, but agreed to negotiations and an armistice in order to once again dunk its head into the toilet of "common people" in the West and prove that the barmaley do not understand good words and should be completely disposed of. Now hands are untied and let no one now dare to interfere with this. Words are over, it's time for deeds.

      "... the main goal is to take control of the summit of Jebel al-Shaer, where a large group of jihadists has settled."
      Well ... if it is known that it has "settled" there, the coordinates of this "peak" are known, then why not equalize it with the "sea level", or at least halve it with the blows of the Aerospace Forces, and the same "Caliber" cannot be "tested" again ?

      Maybe they dunked it, but at what cost? If the politicians could not come to an agreement, if the military is already beginning to "talk" - then it’s not figs to meddle with them. As a result of these truces and vice versa, these back-and-forth frictions, this is all the intelligence data down the drain, all planning, all goals and objectives, everything is fucked up. And vice versa. It's time for the enemy to solve all their problems. That is, the situation is called "everything is so, just the opposite." The same goals and objectives, only with great losses, with great costs, etc. etc. Hence the conclusion. The army can be raised by alarm, but it cannot be stopped by alarm.

      But someone leaked black.

      A few days ago, a graduate of the Frunze, a contender for the downing of one aircraft in the 82 war of the year, a colonel, died. He was shot down and falling on his head in black, he did not catapult.

      Today, the MiG-23 was shot down, he was able to reach the bridge between Dumair and Rukhaiba (the army’s double positions), jumped out there and the army pulled out the pilot.

    Again the victorious dierambs, but in reality things are getting worse and worse, ours needs to think about what to do next, without eliminating the main sponsor of US terrorism, this war will never end, for they will not stupor from what they have in mind, they will create a worldwide evil caliphate to intimidate humanity and choice after the massacre between the denominations of a single government. We don’t have resources if China doesn’t enter the struggle, but doesn’t join, we need to curtail the shop, I think the staff and technology of war are not sitting and training at the headquarters, implying the impossibility of holding Syria for a long time from splitting and clinging to wild tribes following the example of Libya. The Americans will strike Assad’s forces a couple of times from the air and that, we won’t enter into a nuclear confrontation over Syria, force us to enter a no-fly zone and that’s all, we will monitor how Syria dies as a state.

    Most likely something from this series.

    Homemade launchers for launching aviation NURs were widely used in Libya during the overthrow of Gaddafi by terrorists.
    A long time ago, at the very beginning of the attack of fanatic killers on Syria, they flashed while intercepting Libyan weapons that were sent to Syria by terrorists from Libya.

      I'm talking about "love / not love" for dogs. And you again tell me about the "service". I repeat once again, it is not a fact that the lack of ownership (which I personally simply do not know about) units with service dogs comes precisely for this reason. Perhaps they just did not "attend" to such a question. And speaking about "our Middle East" - I mean Israel. There are no "Arab armies" here, alas for you, so far Nama, thank God. But local Arabs and Palestinians seem to have not been noticed in aversion to dogs. Therefore, thinking logically, the Syrians, in principle, should not have similar problems either. In addition, the Syrian army is in no small percentage of secular people.

      It is strange that they did not offer them to the Syrians

      It seems to me that dogs should be trained for a specific task. These are in the photo, apparently to support the escort or something like that. And the training process and the maintenance of such units are apparently not cheap. The Syrians and with conventional weapons and personnel are tight, so here apparently it’s not up to the dogs ...

    There is no need to go to all these "truces", I think that we all remember the recent events in Chechnya, and there these truces, by the way for the most part imposed by the "progressive world community", subsequently led to seas of blood. Barmaley regroup, take a rest, shops will be filled with butter, and forward. You need to hammer rhythmically and for sure.

      Well, what kind of world community is there? There the birch twisted the loot with the general. It wasn’t kosher to finish bearded hares, but everything was up to the supreme alkanaut

    The truce ended so quickly that most of the world did not have time to find out what it was.

    It will take a long time to fight this scum, the Americans have done their filthy job and continue to bother us. I believe all these negotiations with the US should be stopped altogether and their flights in Syria prohibited. God grant good luck to our and the Syrians.
