Situation in Syria

Thanks to the support of the Russian Aerospace Forces, the Syrian army repulsed a terrorist attack in Deir ez-Zor. The Turkish Air Force launched regular strikes against Kurdish positions in Aleppo and Rakka. Reports about it FAN with reference to Syrian sources.





In the morning, it became known about the start of the counter-offensive of the Syrian Democratic Army (SDF) in the northern part of the canton of Afrin. Kurdish units clashed with Syrian Free Army (FSA) fighters, supported by Turkish troops, in the Barsaya mountain range and near the village of Hamam. As a result, these territories again came under the control of the SDF and YPG units. Turkish throughout the day aviation did not stop the bombing of territories controlled by the Kurds. The constant combat missions of the Turkish Air Force have led to the death of at least 32 civilians. The Turkish military command, in turn, did not confirm this information, stating that only 303 Kurdish fighters were killed during the operation. Armed skirmishes between the SDF and the FSA were also recorded near the city of Tel Rifat. It is also reported that as a result of fierce skirmishes, Türkiye lost three tanks.

In the area of ​​​​the city of Abu Kemal (province of Deir ez-Zor) and nearby settlements, the confrontation between the military personnel of the SAR and the detachments of the IS group (banned in the Russian Federation), who moved from the eastern coast of the Euphrates, controlled by the "democratic army" did not stop during the day. The terrorists attacked the positions of the government army near the villages of Al-Kashma and Gharib. Nevertheless, the attack was successfully repulsed thanks to the help of Russian aviation. At least 25 terrorists were destroyed, in turn, the SAA lost two tanks.

In the afternoon, the Al Masdar News news agency, citing opposition Internet portals, announced the upcoming large-scale offensive of Jabhat al-Nusra (banned in the Russian Federation) against the army of Bashar al-Assad and its allies in northern Syria. Meanwhile, the Russian Aerospace Forces and the Syrian Air Force, relying on their intelligence, launched preemptive strikes on targets of the Islamist group in the vicinity of the settlements of Huvain and Abu Mecca (Idlib province).

In the northern part of the province of Rakka, the Turkish Air Force began to conduct combat missions. Tel Abyad and Saluk settlements were bombed. No injuries were reported among the civilian population.

    When our VKS operation in Syria had just begun, I said that the Mujahideen would have to build many toilets in the desert, where they would be wetted. Apparently Putin's phrase will be immortal.

      The first conclusions about the Afrin offensive can be done in a couple of weeks. So far the parties have not even warmed up. Yes, and not all participants yet. "came to war"

        I can tell you the result right now ... they will wash the Turks, and they will burn their armored vehicles immeasurably, which they pulled up for the "persecution". Why wash? The Kurds held back the ISIS for 4 years, and very successfully. These guys are trained and hardened be here. For 5 years of the war, there is military experience that the Turks do not have.

          I would not mind if the Kurds wash the Turks near Afrin, but this is unlikely. The Turks will take Afrin. And in the near future .... You are right, the Kurds are good fighters .... they are better than Turkish traders, but still not everything is decided by personal training and courage. The Turks have a serious superiority in military equipment - tanks and aircraft ..... And given that the Turks are cruel by nature, they will not stop before the carpet bombing of settlements. So the Kurds have little chance.
          The only thing they can bet on is a guerrilla warfare along the entire border and in the "Kurdish" areas of Turkey. This is their chance of success. But for this, the Kurds must unite. While they are divided.

              There are ZERO chances near Afrin. But about "it won't end with a simple short fight", I agree .... but only if the Kurds switch to small group tactics (guerrilla warfare)

                So the Kurds are not made by a crooked genital organ. Or do you think that they will not find allies in the BV?
                Warriors from the Turks, like a space shuttle from a dildo emitter. And believe me, our VKS will smoke on the sidelines and thoughtfully contemplate this performance. And Erdogan will very soon ask the Kremlin for help in resolving the Kurdish issue, or rather military support. Yes, only a Russian vegetable for him, and there will be no support.

                  I don’t know whether they were made with a crooked or not crooked organ, but they have NO means of combating Turkish aviation at medium and high altitudes. Plus, the Turks can freely use armored vehicles, which was extremely difficult for the amers to do in the jungle .... well, as for the allies - let's wait and see ... neither Iran, nor Syria, nor Iraq are eager to help them for obvious reasons. Well, USA ...... as they say, it is better to have smart enemies than cunning friends ... they use and sell to the same Turks.

                    Each theater has its own characteristics. And 40 million Kurds, moreover, angry and able to fight, this is not a gang of Igilovites of 200 thousand bayonets. Turks are trying to eat more than they can.

            Options for resistance, guerrilla warfare is the path to self-destruction. There is an option to agree to remain part of Syria on the rights of autonomy. What they rejected after hearing the Americans that the US will help build a united Kurdistan.

          In a direct collision, the Turks will roll out the Kurds with the help of aviation, but the Turks can really wash against the partisans.

          However, one cannot talk about monolithic unity among the Kurds. If the YPG leadership does not even want to talk about cooperation with the "regime", then the Afrin administration officially called on Assad to deploy troops on the borders of the canton and thereby protect the integrity of Syria (ha ha!).

              Maybe. Moreover, the Syrian authorities let the Kurdish columns with various assistance from Manbij to Afrin pass through.

          hi , Andrew.
          These "guys" certainly know how to fight, but everyone wants to live. The Turks gave them away, the Americans threw them away and the "guys" asked for peace from Assad (which should have been done half a year ago). Now it is very problematic to do this when guns and tanks are roaring and planes are being bombed.

          if unity appears among the Kurds, I agree with Cherny that the situation may end badly for the Turks. I suspect something from the very beginning that the Turks have more than one task to crush the Kurds, but this is the US game to capture the Afrin enclave with the introduction of the "peacekeeping contingent" of the United States .. The Kurds here probably tried to play on the contradictions between the USA and the Russian Federation and Turkey, too, and got into trouble along the way ..

    Killed 303 Kurdish fighters. As a result of air raids. They have something there, dudes with calculators running after planes, or am I stupid? Finger, they seem to sky, before calculating the losses of the enemy. But the Turks there are hammering sickly, apparently.

      So, 72 (!) Aircraft, only on the first day, just hollowed out in the desert? And it seems like the Kurds are already asking Assad for protection and they have put their dreams about Kurdistan far, far away ...

    It's a pity of course the Kurds crying They believed the Americans, they promised that they would have their own state and would help them, but they themselves threw them. In short, they need to confess to Assad, then everything will be over. And the Americans, when it gets hot, they throw all their "allies" away, since they consider them to be their vassals. request

    The Turks exchanged Afrin for a gas pipe, so that this ethnic branch of the Kurds can now count on almost the current for itself. We are waiting for reports of sabotage in Turkey, a repetition of the exploits of destroying buses with pilots.

    One can guess for a long time who will destroy each other and how they will destroy each other. But no one will give the oil region to the Kurds. Only bow to Assad if they go, then something will be decided ... and Russia will not stand aside.
