Russian-Turkish patrol mission in Idlib is on the verge of collapse

The ceasefire, which the parties interested in a peaceful settlement are trying to achieve by creating a security zone along the M4 highway, has been threatened. Obstacles arose that prevented the Russian and Turkish military from patrolling the Damascus-Aleppo highway section jointly.

The reason for this was the actions of militants from the Khayyat Tahrir al-Sham group (the former Jebhat al-Nusra was banned in the Russian Federation), the influence of Ankara on which was not as great as many had imagined.



From March 15, it was planned to begin joint patrolling of the Russian-Turkish contingent along the M4 highway. But it became known that the road in several places was blocked by the radicals of the KhTS.

The Russian part of the convoy advanced several kilometers from the city of Sarakib in the direction of the village of Neyrab, but, learning about the impending armed provocation of the militants, decided to return.

The Turks restricted their movement to territory controlled by the pro-Turkish National Liberation Front, avoiding areas held by the KhTS. And since the NFO and Khayyat Tahrir al-Sham work together, there are great doubts about the capabilities of the Turkish military.

When they tried to advance along the highway through a section blocked by the militants, the Turks did not succeed in convincing the radicals to let in a column of armored vehicles. She was greeted by a crowd of radicals and local “activists who stoned her and showered her with curses. The military had to turn back.

    It is necessary to add the coronavirus among the terrorists in Idlib and the Turks themselves will withdraw their troops.

      So he is already there. Barmalei even issued leaflets with recommendations on how they were guarded: if you wash your hands, you will have to wash in the future; sneezed - alla I to the bar, coughed - to the restaurant; camels, donkeys, sheep, etc. don't kiss ...

        So it was under this that he introduced him there. Moreover, he will have to work in Idlib for the Syrians, otherwise the Sultan will have to wet the Kurds hard.

      And the sultan is Glavbarmaley.
      They can’t wet their own hands.
      Patrolling with askers is a big mistake.

    the Turks failed to convince the radicals to miss the column of armored vehicles. She was greeted by a crowd of radicals and local "activists who stoned her and showered her with curses. The military had to turn back.

    Let the politicians work and quickly, until the militants dig in and get into the pillboxes. The military will go last, "since such a booze has gone!"

    And if the terrorists hide in the house and close the door from the inside, then everything ... Apparently all the military with a feeling of deep satisfaction from a job well done will go home ... Who needs this circus with such patrols?

    And why would Ankara have an influence on al Qaeda?

    In general, what kind of fuss with terrorists? Blocked the road - get FAB. What is the trouble? What is the truce with the terrorists? After all, they will gather strengths during this time. Why allow it?
    Turks are hanging out with their terrorists, and the al-Qaeda fakes (Khayyat Tahrir al-Sham) urinate everyone!

    What the hell is "joint patrol"?
    The situation in Syria does not indicate a stabilization of the situation in the Arab Republic, but rather the opposite, since if the militants had previously been active in the struggle mainly against the Syrian military, now attention is shifting to Russian citizens, which requires Russia to take tougher measures against militants and Turkey, which also supplies weapons to terrorists, as well as coordinates their actions, will dress terrorists in Turkish uniforms.
    An Idlib propagandist serving terrorist groups, including Hayat Tahrir ash Sham (banned in Russia), has announced a reward for the murder of Russian journalists: US $ 25 for the one who kills war correspondents Yevgeny Poddubny and Oleg Blokhin. There was also information that another unnamed Idlib group was offering 50 thousand for the murder of Poddubny. In addition, she wants to pay another 100 thousand for the capture of any Russian serviceman from a joint patrol with Turkey "
    What kind of children's troubles with joint patrolling? What is there to patrol together?

    The author of the article (possibly) is right. Perhaps not right. (horseradish understand). I know for sure!!! If Russian is going to protect someone, it means in the interests of the Russian country !!! Then the question to the military commissars: Is it worth it ???
    Time will tell. (understand). But as a mother ... I do not always agree with the decision ...

    Ankara’s inability to fulfill its obligations has been vividly demonstrated once again. Ultimately, as the SAR troops grow stronger, and the Kurds finally exhaust the Turks on their own front, Idlib can be completely cleared.

    Can anyone explain to me the purpose of these "patrols"? Patrolling - carrying out a patrol service, regularly inspecting something for the purpose of guarding, maintaining order, etc. What kind of protection and order are we talking about if the patrol returns, because they can get stuck on the route ahead? What's the point of patrolling then? Just ride along the previously explored SAFE roads with flags from point A to point B? I have been on patrol many times in 3 Batars 80s. Mostly on top of the armor. And it was there that the task was to detect violation of order and demonstrate strength and presence in the area of ​​possible countermeasures by the enemy's DRG, guarding the road along the route. That is, they were the ones who, if something happened, were the first to take out the enemy on the patrol area. And here it turns out - patrolling for show. A little danger - back to the bushes. I understand the Turks who do not want to participate in this circus.
