The civil war in Syria is far from over, unless, of course, there are any events that radically change the balance of forces and the nature of the fighting. Nevertheless, two years of armed confrontation allow us to sum up some preliminary results.

Of course, it would be incorrect to say that in Syria the Sunni majority is fighting with the Alawite minority. Most of the population generally tries to avoid participation in hostilities. However, it should be noted that it is the Alawites and the Shiites who make up the main base of the Assad regime. At the same time, many Sunnis support the rebels, although among the Arabs and among the Kurds of the Sunni religion there are supporters of Assad.

Loyalist Army

If we talk about the Syrian Arab army, the president, of course, first of all can count on elite formations, in the structure of which the Alawites predominate. (In the structure of “elite” units, the Alawite’s share is significant, but almost never “prevails.” - Ed.) They are equipped with the most modern equipment, well equipped and trained (we are talking about the Republican Guard, 4th tank divisions and regiments of commandos as part of special forces, 14th and 15th divisions). At the initial stage of the conflict, these formations played the role of a “fire brigade”, reinforcing the “territorial” divisions, which made it possible to achieve important successes, for example, significantly limiting the activity of rebels in Homs. However, doubting the loyalty of the capital’s population (the “population of the capital” does not pose a threat to the armed forces at all, the terrorist gangs pose a threat with the corresponding consequences for the capital. - Ed.), The authorities were afraid to use the “Alavite” divisions to defeat their opponents in remote regions . And although last summer the loyalists managed to repel an attack on the suburbs and outskirts of Damascus, the elite units have since practically not left the capital. As a result, government forces were never able to drive the rebels out of Aleppo. Moreover, even in the vicinity of the capital, the Assad regime is ready to devote only moderate forces to combat operations. In this sense, the battle for Deraia (more precisely, for its ruins) is very indicative. During a three-month assault, the loyalist forces could not establish control over this small town on the outskirts of Damascus, in the immediate vicinity of the Mezzeh air base.

So, the elite formations in the Syrian army are few, the rest of the army units and formations, as, indeed, the Alawite militia "Shabiha" ("Shabiha" - mean between the militia and the gang - a word meaning the most different militia self-defense units, which the government allowed to create not only Alawites, but also Christians, Shiites and even Sunnis, and who, as always in civil wars, to some extent “break away” from narrow self-defense tasks. “Shabih” is the subject of folklore widely fanned anti-Assad propaganda for intimidation and misinformation of people in Syria and abroad. - Ed.), can only perform passive tasks, such as the defense of populated areas, where the population loyal to the regime prevails, the protection of military bases, roadblocks, supply columns and strong points near the besieged cities.

Rate on tanks

Of course, the Syrian Arab army has significant reserves of heavy weapons. These are armored vehicles (tanks and infantry fighting vehicles), artillery (towed and self-propelled guns, OTRK, Soviet heavy mortars and large-caliber Iranian NAR) and aviation (helicopters and attack aircraft).

Before the outbreak of the civil war, the Syrians had more tanks and infantry fighting vehicles than many developed countries that significantly reduced the number of heavy weapons in the ranks and in reserve. In terms of the number of armored vehicles, the CAA even surpassed the armies of powerful third-world states, which are guided by the Soviet model of the armed forces.

Another important point: in the Syrian army, the ratio between the tank and motorized rifle battalions was approximately equal, unlike the armies of the western type, in which the motorized rifle battalions are substantially larger than the tank. And this turned out to be in the hands of the Baath regime. After all, even the oldest model T-55 without dynamic protection is much more resistant to firing by the rebels than the BMP-1 / 2. Especially if we are talking about large-caliber machine guns, LSD, MPA and shrapnel of artillery shells and mines. And tanks, equipped with dynamic protection, can withstand a hit from obsolete grenade launchers and recoilless guns of the rebels.

During the conflict, the Syrian army used armored vehicles without direct cover from the infantry. After all, when interacting with soldiers, the speed of armored vehicles drops to several kilometers per hour, which makes it extremely vulnerable to enemy anti-tank weapons. And the Syrians bet on the speed and firepower of compact armored groups can be considered quite logical. (For the same Deraye, the actions of tankers are highly appreciated by our respective professionals. - Ed.)

Much more questions are the practice of the CAA to create temporary roadblocks, which are usually guarded by several tanks. They have been without movement for a long time and turn into "sitting ducks", allowing the rebels to choose a comfortable position for their defeat. And if in the absence of hidden approaches to tanks such tactics can still be justified, then in settlements or surrounded by gardens it should be considered erroneous. (Just such a roadblock with tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, to which we are accustomed to in Russia, in settlements almost none. - Ed.)

During the civil war, the total losses of CAA armored vehicles are quite substantial (based on an analysis of the available photo and video materials, they are estimated at almost 800 units, and tanks and BMPs are roughly in terms of 40%). Availability of repair facilities and the supply of spare parts from Russia and Iran could reduce the severity of the problem. True, the remaining fleet of armored vehicles will allow the loyalists to continue fighting for a long time, especially considering that now we are talking about the retention of key points, and not control over the entire territory of the country.

Aviation Assad

By the beginning of the civil war, the CAA had numerous air forces with an extensive attack and helicopter fleet. The disadvantages of Syrian aviation were: the presence of a large number of obsolete and worn-out aircraft, the lack of high-precision weapons and their carriers, and insufficient crew intake in the pre-war period. Nevertheless, given the weakness of the rebel air defense, aviation had a serious impact on the course of hostilities.

The total number of downed air defense aircraft is small: about 20 units (first of all, Mi-8 helicopters involved in supplying the Syrian garrisons). Several helicopters were captured by rebels as a result of an attack on the Marj as-Sultan airbases near Damascus and Afis (Taftanaz) in the vicinity of Idlib. After a months-long siege of Minah base (Meng), which is located northwest of Aleppo, the Syrian air force most likely also lost a significant part of its fleet. After all, the base was fired from X-NUMX-mm M-130 guns, and helicopters, unlike reactive combat aircraft, which can be protected by reinforced concrete shelters, are forced to be positioned openly and therefore more vulnerable because of the large length of the blades of the main rotors.

The sharp decline in the Mi-8 fleet is now one of the most acute problems for the CAA. And it can be solved only by adjusting the supply of spare parts for faulty machines, and even better, new helicopters from Russia and Iran. The Syrian Air Force also faces personnel problems. After all, if you look at the list of the dead pilots, most of them carried the rank of colonel. This is explained by the insufficient level of training of young pilots who are not able to operate the machine in the same way as senior officers.

Syrian rebels

We now turn to the rebel groups. This is the secular Free Syrian Army (SSA), the core of which consisted of deserters from the ranks of government troops (primarily Sunnis) and the formation of Islamists (including Jabhat al-Nusra - Front Al-Nusra). At the first stage of the civil war, the SSA played a leading role in resisting the regime, however, after it suffered a series of defeats, Islamists began to come to the fore, who are distinguished by their moral stability and high professional level. After all, in their ranks, foreign legionnaires who have gained real combat experience during the rebel war in Iraq and Libya are fighting. The tactics of the armed Syrian opposition largely reproduce the classic guerrilla insurgent tactics: the fighting is gradually spreading to new areas. (The so-called secular SSA is an empty shell filled with jihad warriors recruited around the world. According to Deraye, this is about 65%. As for small sabotage and terrorist groups, the percentage of foreigners is even greater. In this connection, the name Rebels sounds pretty ridiculous. - Ed.)

As in many modern conflicts, in the Syrian civil war, refugee camps in the territory of neighboring countries have become an important source of manpower for the rebels. The presence of such camps makes it possible not only to recruit supporters safely, but also to give them certain military skills. The host states are opposed to the Assad regime, and it is not surprising that information about the training of insurgents in Turkey and Jordan periodically appears, including with the help of foreign instructors. (In many armed conflicts of the 20th – 20th centuries, especially in Africa, refugee camps in the territory of neighboring states became real reserves for the armed opposition, which acquired the necessary knowledge and skills in them).

Course of the fighting

What happened in Syria in the last two years can be compared with the development of a cancerous tumor. At the first stage, the population entered mass protests impressed by the events of the “Arab Spring”: a benign tumor appeared. However, the severe forceful suppression of these actions led to an armed confrontation: a benign tumor degenerated into a malignant one.

Initially, armed clashes occurred rarely and were localized in nature: the disease was in the first stage. At this stage, the number of militants was small, and their level of training and armament was low. Syria’s immune system managed to eliminate a number of hotbeds of resistance, reduce and localize the remaining ones. But where resistance was not suppressed, metastases grew, spreading to nearby settlements, especially in areas difficult for the Syrian army. The rebels began to seize small checkpoints and bases of the Syrian army: the disease passed into the second stage, when cancer cells penetrate into the lymph nodes.

(The level of resistance and the transition to the second stage are directly connected with the ousting of the “Syrian rebels” proper by well-trained foreign professionals. Human and financial resources, the replenishment of which is practically inexhaustible. - Ed.)

In the refugee camps, Syrian fighters replenished their ranks with foreign personnel, organized, armed themselves and began to penetrate into Syria. To prevent this, the Syrian immune system could not. As a result, tumor cells began to spread in the new territories, mainly border, spraying the forces of the Syrian military, police and Alawite militia and forming local metastases. The disease has passed into the third stage. As the immune system was depleted due to combat losses and the wear and tear, metastases began to appear in vital organs that were distant from the original foci of the disease. The beginning of the fourth stage can be considered the summer offensive of militants in Damascus and Aleppo, the two largest cities of Syria. Although the authorities initially suppressed resistance in the capital, the militants managed to gain a foothold in the suburbs, which six months later led to permanent battles on the outskirts of Damascus and their spread to the city limits. In Aleppo, militants took control of about half the city. Emerging metastases began to expand into the surrounding areas (suburbs, satellite towns, surrounding villages), increasing the size of each new tumor focus. A striking example was the rapid seizure until recently of the calm and seemingly pro-Assad al-Raqqi in early March 2013.

NATO factor

If the NATO countries now decide on military intervention, the Assad regime is unlikely to be able to stay in power. Moreover, according to military experts, the alliance may be limited to rocket and air strikes. Indeed, despite the fact that Syria was able to preserve its most modern air defense missile systems (“Buk” and “Armor”) and fighter aircraft, their effectiveness raises great doubts, given the fact that the rebels besieged a number of airbases and blocked communications. In a number of regions in the north and east of the country, and partly in the west, the use of modern mobile air defense systems, not to mention the old stationary, is almost impossible. As for the Ministry of Defense, the MANPADS and the short-range air defense missile systems, the experience of the NATO air campaigns allows us to conclude that alliance aircraft rarely descend into their zone of destruction. As for the Syrian fighter aircraft, it is relatively small in number. In addition, its use is difficult due to the loss of a number of radar stations and the violation of the integrity of the radar field over Syria. It should also be understood that if NATO launches an air war, rebels with a double force will besiege the airbases and destroy the air defense of the government army. Alliance actions can lead to the rapid fall of a number of Syrian garrisons in the north and east of the country, which will be completely cut off from supplies. The balance of power will change dramatically, the Syrian army will practically be deprived of the opportunity to use heavy weapons under the rule of NATO in the air. As a result, demoralized loyalists will be forced to surrender Damascus to the rebels. (There is no doubt about the potential for NATO to crush Syria from the air. However, the initial phase of such an operation is associated with inevitable and noticeable losses. The only country (except m. B. Turkey) ready to bear such losses is the United States. At present, there are reasonable doubts in their desire to take on such operations. - Ed.)

        Ground intervention without air support is unlikely, as it will lead to large losses of manpower.

            Here is an objective article. But not the pathetically pompous reports of Gromova about poor dictator Assad and an imminent victory .. Only some provisions of the article aroused some questions.

            "During the conflict, the Syrian army used armored vehicles without direct coverage from the infantry. After all, when interacting with soldiers, the speed of armored vehicles drops to several kilometers per hour, which makes it extremely vulnerable to enemy anti-tank fire."

            The fact that counteraction to the partisan-rebel movement, which does not have a front line, by tanks together with infantry is not in doubt. But why should this speed of movement fall? This is only if the infantry will walk on foot. There is also a method tested long ago. For each tank, landing, infantry, and forward. During a clash, the infantry dismounts and conducts the battle together with the tanks. And no loss of speed. And the Syrian military, even in the city’s quarters, uses tanks without infantry, which of course leads to large losses of equipment.

            The second one. The author writes

            "The so-called secular SSA is an empty shell filled with 'jihad warriors' recruited around the world

            And at the same time adds.

            "As in many modern conflicts, in the Syrian civil war, refugee camps on the territory of neighboring states have become an important source of manpower for the rebels. The presence of such camps allows not only to safely recruit supporters, but also to give them certain military skills."

            And how is this to be understood? After all, refugees are the Syrians.

              No (since the tumor develops from the inside, and this poisoning goes from the outside) this can be compared to the fact that a person in a gas mask (Syria) was closed in a container (forbidden sanctions) and poisoned with gas (replenishment by gunmen and lighting in false media) - the gas mask still holds but without replacing the filter will not last long
              If the NATO countries decide now on military intervention, the Assad regime is unlikely to be able to stay in power. Moreover, according to military experts, the alliance may limit itself to missile and air strikes. Indeed, despite the fact that Syria managed to maintain its most modern air defense systems (Buk and Shell) and fighter aircraft, their effectiveness is highly doubtful, given the fact that the rebels are besieging a number of air bases and blocking communications.

                You have written a lot. I will answer one thing.

                The counter-terrorist operation is the destruction of bandits in the apartment, in the crypt. A large-scale war throughout the country is a civil war. Just like in Spain in 1936, as in Chechnya, because it is called the first and second Chechen war.

                And if the West supports the opposition, and Assad Russia does not mean that there is no civil war in Syria. And without reasons and the division of society into different camps, civil war does not happen.

                    My age is not that, due to a misunderstanding, and not by malicious intent, but objectively and by justice.

                    To seize power by Hafez al-Assad by a military coup is unfair.
                    Transferring inheritance to Bashar’s son is unfair.
                    Not holding free, fair elections is unfair.
                    Demand, in peaceful demonstrations, the holding of elections - it is fair. Within six months.
                    Not to respond to the demands of the people, but to shoot at their own people for six months is unfair.
                    If you get bored of dying for six months for no reason and there is a desire to protect your life from the dictator’s bullets - this is true
                    If there is a desire to throw off hereditary tyranny, which can continue in the grandson of Hafez and the son of Bashar - this is true.
                    If Bashar would go to the polls 2,5 years ago, even with his participation - that would be fair. And there would not be a terrorist seam of Islamic Orthodox in Syria now.

                    Everything else is a civil war app. And everyone is free to express their sympathies. Or to the people, or to the dictator.

                    From your position, you can blame the Vietnamese troops who helped the Cambodian people to overthrow the dictator Pol Pot, who in three years destroyed 1/3 of his own people. And also to justify the fascist Franco seized power in Spain by a military coup.

                        Monarchy is a legacy of the unenlightened middle ages. And with the development of enlightenment, monarchies give way to democratic devices of the state, such as in Russia, where there is no hereditary power, but there are elections.

                        In international jurisprudence, monarchies are subjects of international law. And if the people themselves do not want to change the monarchy, no one will do this for them.

                        And each monarchy has a constitution, according to which the election of the king is not provided at all. Power is inherited. And if in Saudi Araii, Brunei, kings will start shooting at their people in large numbers, as in Syria, which has risen against the monarchy, then I have no doubt that world public opinion will be on the side of the people.

                        Dictatorial regimes are not a subject of international law and they are tolerated insofar as. Because how to risk the lives of their soldiers, if the people themselves did not rise against the dictator, no one will. Hussein, Gaddafi, Assad, having no hereditary prerequisites to be kings and trying to look democratic in the eyes of the world community, seized power, called themselves presidents and adopted a constitution with a provision on elections, hoping to always rig the election results. Like in the USSR.

                        It didn’t work at all as they expected. According to the constitution, there are elections, but the people wanted not real fraud, but real elections. Therefore, constitutionally, in peaceful demonstrations, demanded free elections. Dictators began to shoot, because in a free election their chances would tend to zero.

                        And the monarchies will disappear. The time of the monarchies has passed.

                        That's it for you, in USE Texas, Louisiana, as well as a number (16) of other states filed petitions with the desire to leave the most democratic countries of the world because of disagreement with the election results - in a month more than doubled the required number of votes.

Amers played a new game and have now forgotten. There was nothing legitimate in this online game to bring this issue to the level of state legislatures.

                        It’s the same as playing such a game in Russia, it is not known how the Caucasus will react. But in any case, this game will not have legal constitutional grounds. Because there are certain laws for holding official referenda.

                        The monarchy is also supported by part of the people. And the difference between monarchies and dictatorship is big. At least in that, according to the constitution of monarchical states, elections are not provided.

                        And the monarchy of the monarchy is strife. There are absolute monarchies - Saudi Arabia. And there are constitutional monarchies in England, Thailand. Where kings are deprived of real power and perform only representative and ceremonial functions.

                        In any monarchy there is a large part of the population who wants to change the constitutional system. And I am more than sure that in all these countries there will be a mass of people who want to overthrow these monarchies. But a sad fate awaits them all. They just beheaded.

Either a protege of a person with the necessary resources comes to power, which does not change the essence. The only difference is that Assad Sr. converted material resources into military force and took power with the help of force, while in democratic countries these material resources are first converted into election technologies, into the election campaign, and they take power through elections. Know how much the campaign costs? Voice numbers? Common brow is available? laughing

              A war unleashed by outside and foreign mercenaries, by definition, cannot be civil
              [quote = Author Vyacheslav Tseluyko] Most of the population generally tries to avoid participating in hostilities. However, it should be noted that it is the Alawites and Shiites that make up the main support base of the Asad regime. [/ Quote]
              It has long been proven in practice - an army cannot exist for a long time without the support of the people, and this completely refutes the author of this stuffing on a fan
              [quote = Author Vyacheslav Tseluyko] So, there are few elite formations in the Syrian army, but the rest of the army units and formations, as well as the Alabite militia “Shabiha” (“shabiha” is a subject of folklore, widely inflated by anti-Assad propaganda for intimidation and misinformation people in Syria and abroad. - Ed.), can only perform passive tasks, such as the defense of settlements in which the population dominated by the regime, the protection of military bases, roadblocks, supply convoys and strongholds near besieged cities. [/ quote]
              Here the author himself refutes the above quote - the people and the army are one
              [quote = Posted by Vyacheslav Tseluyko] Now let's move on to the rebel units. This is the secular Free Syrian Army (SSA), the core of which was deserters from the ranks of government troops (primarily Sunnis) and the formation of Islamists (including "Jabhat al-Nusra" - "Front al-Nusra") [/ quote]
              Of course, it is so secular - to cut off heads, blow up mosques and the people, for whose happiness the most "free army of thugs" is allegedly fighting - and where are the rebels here? a couple of deserters?
              [quote = Author Vyacheslav Tseluyko] What happened in Syria in the last two years can be compared with the development of a cancerous tumor. [/ quote]
              No (since the tumor develops from the inside, and this poisoning goes from the outside) this can be compared to the fact that a person in a gas mask (Syria) was closed in a container (forbidden sanctions) and poisoned with gas (replenishment by gunmen and lighting in false media) - the gas mask still holds but without replacing the filter will not last long
              If the NATO countries decide now on military intervention, the Assad regime is unlikely to be able to stay in power. Moreover, according to military experts, the alliance may limit itself to missile and air strikes. Indeed, despite the fact that Syria managed to maintain its most modern air defense systems (Buk and Shell) and fighter aircraft, their effectiveness is highly doubtful, given the fact that the rebels are besieging a number of air bases and blocking communications.
              [/ Quote]
              Well, everything is clear here - the author directly persuades NATO to help the scumbags rather, they can’t cope, and gives various reasons for the inability of the Syrian air defense to repel the attack. And the pope somehow suddenly started talking about peace, another dove, mlyn, peace — in general, he noticed a strange thing, as scumbags began to spread rot and squeezed out from everywhere, so at once all belligerently rushed to reconcile the warring parties.

Do not make such assessments to leaders of other states until you know for sure that your (unfortunately, my) President is better than Assad in terms of a democratic regime. I’m not sure that my President is better than Assad in this regard, and my President is the best, therefore, Assad is a leader who can lead his country and has the right to it, but only the people of Syria should decide this.

You yourself ask about it - like, I come here to talk, argue. So communicate and argue, argue reasonably. And labeling labels without sufficient arguments does not lead to a constructive dispute, but causes only a desire to stick a response label on you. I am writing this topic for the third time. Assad is not a dictator until proven otherwise. The principle of the presumption of innocence. Prove should be on the thousands of repressions and genocide that took place before the start of the Arab Spring. DO NOT PROVE for the lack of corpus delicti. And the numbers of those killed after the outbreak of hostilities are not repressions, but a reflection of a foreign invasion. Stop talk about this.

              - did not try to include the head? You, saving your family, left the war zone, settled in a refugee camp. Do you seriously think that the Turkish authorities taking part in this invasion will simply feed and live a refugee, a young man or a middle-aged man? Do you see pressure levers? and a family cannot starve ... Do you even have your own family and your children to appreciate how effective this lever is? I have the impression that you don’t have a family, that you are, in fact, some kind of romantically inclined young man with liberal-powdered brains, excuse me. Probably, you think that out of philanthropic motives, Turks with liberoid countries feed these refugees for beautiful eyes. laughing laughing I hope you understand the answer.

                        Dear answer please. What kind of socio-political formation do you currently live in in Russia? With the primitive communal, with the slave, feudal, with the imperial, with the dictatorship of the proletariat or any other dictatorship? Of course not, because these formations have remained in history.

                        Now you live in a formation of public-private economy based on a liberal-democratic basis.

                        Liberal - because you are free, have freedom of movement, you can openly express your thoughts and speak a word.
                        Democratic - because you cannot personally deprive someone of freedom, as someone of you, only by the verdict of the court. You have the right to choose everything. You have the right to be elected and to be elected. You cannot be persecuted because of your skin color, because of your attitude, because of your preferences of this or that philosophy.

                        If you take all this together, then Russia is a modern country with one or another level of liberal democracy, but democracy.

        A war unleashed by outside and foreign mercenaries, by definition, cannot be civil
        [quote = Author Vyacheslav Tseluyko] Most of the population generally tries to avoid participating in hostilities. However, it should be noted that it is the Alawites and Shiites that make up the main support base of the Asad regime. [/ Quote]
        It has long been proven in practice - an army cannot exist for a long time without the support of the people, and this completely refutes the author of this stuffing on a fan
        [quote = Author Vyacheslav Tseluyko] So, there are few elite formations in the Syrian army, but the rest of the army units and formations, as well as the Alabite militia “Shabiha” (“shabiha” is a subject of folklore, widely inflated by anti-Assad propaganda for intimidation and misinformation people in Syria and abroad. - Ed.), can only perform passive tasks, such as the defense of settlements in which the population dominated by the regime, the protection of military bases, roadblocks, supply convoys and strongholds near besieged cities. [/ quote]
        Here the author himself refutes the above quote - the people and the army are one
        [quote = Posted by Vyacheslav Tseluyko] Now let's move on to the rebel units. This is the secular Free Syrian Army (SSA), the core of which was deserters from the ranks of government troops (primarily Sunnis) and the formation of Islamists (including "Jabhat al-Nusra" - "Front al-Nusra") [/ quote]
        Of course, it is so secular - to cut off heads, blow up mosques and the people, for whose happiness the most "free army of thugs" is allegedly fighting - and where are the rebels here? a couple of deserters?
        [quote = Author Vyacheslav Tseluyko] What happened in Syria in the last two years can be compared with the development of a cancerous tumor. [/ quote]
        No (since the tumor develops from the inside, and this poisoning goes from the outside) this can be compared to the fact that a person in a gas mask (Syria) was closed in a container (forbidden sanctions) and poisoned with gas (replenishment by gunmen and lighting in false media) - the gas mask still holds but without replacing the filter will not last long
        If the NATO countries decide now on military intervention, the Assad regime is unlikely to be able to stay in power. Moreover, according to military experts, the alliance may limit itself to missile and air strikes. Indeed, despite the fact that Syria managed to maintain its most modern air defense systems (Buk and Shell) and fighter aircraft, their effectiveness is highly doubtful, given the fact that the rebels are besieging a number of air bases and blocking communications.
        [/ Quote]
        Well, everything is clear here - the author directly persuades NATO to help the scumbags rather, they can’t cope, and gives various reasons for the inability of the Syrian air defense to repel the attack. And the pope somehow suddenly started talking about peace, another dove, mlyn, peace — in general, he noticed a strange thing, as scumbags began to spread rot and squeezed out from everywhere, so at once all belligerently rushed to reconcile the warring parties.

        Here are your INTERESTS. Russia's interests in the Middle East.

        Since the days of the USSR, Russia has had a great influence in the Middle East region. The Kremlin, however, did not appreciate the current trends towards the abolition of authoritarian regimes by enlightenment, clinging to the dictators of Hussein, Gaddafi, and the ayatollah of Iran, and going against the opinion of the world community, gave up their positions step by step. Now the influence of Russia in Libya, Iraq, Egypt is approaching zero, not to mention Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait.

        Now clinging to Assad, the Kremlin will lose its influence and its INTERESTS in the last country in the region. Because the dictatorial regime of Syria is likely to fall. What? Did the Kremlin really care about the "friendly", personal qualities of dictators as opposed to the peoples of these countries and as opposed to the lost interests of this region.

        The baggage of INTERESTS that was accumulated by the USSR in 50 years, the Kremlin lost in 10 years. And not because of force majeure, but because of the trivial support of dictators. Apart from the lack of political perspicacity, I see no other reason. Now it will be necessary to restore everything and whether 50 years is enough for this, UNKNOWN.

          The Kremlin does not cling to Assad, but to the Syrian people, with whom they will have to deal with in the future, and if we betray him, we can forget about good relations .. We support not only Assad, but also the opposition of Syria that wants to come to power peacefully, and let the people decide who to rule, but they are fighting against the army there who knows, and the Syrians weren’t there either ..

            So this opposition has been demanding for six months, in peaceful demonstrations, to hold elections, this is the peaceful path. Six months required. What did Assad answer? He shot demonstrations these six months. People were tired of dying from bullets and they took up arms, it was then orthodoxes who joined them. If, then, 2,5 years ago, Assad would have gone to the polls, then his participation as a candidate was not disputed by anyone, but now there wouldn’t have been the Syrian terrorist orthodoxy that is now in Syria.

          I don’t know what kind of information the Russians receive from the Russian media, they tell us that the Assad regime controls the center of Damascus, most of Syria is in the hands of the rebels. The situation is such that the power in the country will inevitably pass to other forces.
          And what about Russia in the Alavite dictatorial dynasty, which never had especially friendly feelings for Russians? Dad Hafez always kept a fig in his pocket, and was on his mind - both when he tried to drag the USSR into a conflict in the BV, and when he mercilessly cracked down on the Syrian Communist Party, and after 82, when he considered that Soviet weapons could not ensure his troops victory over Israel, quietly sought rapprochement with the West. Well, little son Bashar is his follower, he has no strength and cunning only.

            I don’t know what information some Russians absorb, but most of the media are controlled by the authorities.

            Of course, it’s not very truthful to talk about Assad’s speedy victory if fights go on in the suburbs of Damascus. It is only Gromova who writes peppy reports.

            And the situation in Syria is certainly deplorable. If the elections, as required by the people, were held 2,5 years ago, then the moderate, healthy forces of the Syrian public would undoubtedly have come to power. Now, with the flood of the country by the Orthodox, after the fall of Assad, the very destructive forces of Orthodox Islam can come to power. And it will be bad.

    Comrades, I liked the article by Prokhanov.
    For those who have not read -

    Have you heard the liberal pacifists, these preachers of Bolotnaya Square, courtly showmen, confessors of hedonism and consumption? "Why," they say, "spend money on defense, arm Russia? Cultivate a defense consciousness in the Russian people? Does anyone threaten Russia? Does it have enemies? And all this hysteria with the revival of the military-industrial complex, with the modernization of defense factories have the paranoia of statesmen, the militaristic frenzy of patriots. " This is what the pacifists say - the enemy's agents, the "fifth column" operating in the rear of the state.

    I would take a pacifist with me to the Syrian front. Stuffed into the troop compartment of an infantry fighting vehicle. I would drive this car through the smoky ruins of the Damascus suburbs, through the squelching of bullets hitting armor. Let the hot blow of the grenade launcher hit the neighborhood. Let the pacifist see the militants' inscriptions on the walls of the ruins: "First - Syria, then - Russia."

    Let him see the corpses of Jordanians, Libyans, Iraqis who came to fight under Damascus. Their faces, burnt to the bones, with the remains of smoldering rubber tires: the militants, retreating, burn the bodies of the dead so that they are not recognized by Syrian intelligence.
    Thirty thousand riflemen who came to Syria from all over the Islamic world, trained and armed, with the ideology of the Islamic world revolution, ready to die for an idea, appeared in the vicinity of Damascus, from here, from the battlefield, to fly directly to paradise. This is an invasion army, possessing fiery power, persistent and mobile, like a giant ball lightning flying around the world, ready to incinerate cities and countries, controlled from Western intellectual and military centers. If this army conquers Syria, then its cumulative blow will pierce Central Asia. Before such a blow, the sluggish regimes of Tashkent and Astana, Bishkek and Dushanbe will be powerless. This ball of fire will sooner or later rush to the North Caucasus. It will direct its sizzling power to Tatarstan and Bashkiria.

    Continued -

    I would like to see pacifists if they fall into the hands of frenzied and fearless warriors for whom liberal values ​​are good only when these values ​​have their eyes poked out, their tongues released, their guts released, and blue-green flies clinging to the corpse of an unlucky pacifist.
    The response of the Russian state to this real pitching threat is the forced reconstruction of the military-industrial complex, the manufacture of new types of modern weapons, and the equipping of an army capable of winning in a new, unparalleled war. Creation of the ideology of the Russian state, excluding vile pacifism, the inclusion in this ideology of all the constants of the traditional imperial state, which takes control of the homeless territories of Central Asia. At the same time, the "defense consciousness" will remain part of the philosophy of the Russian state, the philosophy of the Russian Victory.
    I visited Novosibirsk, where a branch of the Izborsk Club was opened - this factory, which creates models of the new Russian ideology. I visited a unique defense enterprise - an artificial fiber plant, where a powerful weapon is being built outside the city: Smerch missiles for multiple launch rocket launchers. Ammunition for the Hurricanes. Rocket projectiles for airplanes, helicopters. The newest tactical systems capable of converting accumulations of tanks into plasma, turning thousands of enemy infantry clusters into hot ashes, marching through the Russian border.

    This factory, stuffed with explosives, is surrounded by gigantic earthen ramparts, like ancient fortresses, to protect against a possible explosion in which neighboring cities and villages cannot resist.

    Explosives of unprecedented power are being created in the workshops of the plant; heavy eight-meter shells, like tree trunks, go off the assembly line. These shells contain a myriad of discoveries, inventions, and all modern technologies. At the factory, I was satisfied with looking at Russian weapons that could protect my homeland. I admired the Russian people that they saved the precious plant from the pogroms of the nineties, from Gaidar pacifism, when the liberal authorities maliciously cut off the defense complex enterprise from financing. And at these enterprises, like giant whales washed ashore, great ideas perished, great scientists and engineers gasped. And Russia for 20 years stopped in its development, was deprived of the Soviet technosphere to the sounds of shallow rock bands, to the annoying squealing of television empty flowers.
    Thank God, today the influence of these businessmen has waned. Russia has new planes and submarines. Serdyukov’s tumor was excised from the army. Russia has regained consciousness from the lethargic sleep of the nineties, being reborn in its formidable and beautiful majesty. Ahead we have a lot of pain and misfortune, a lot of smart and merciless enemies.
    I stand in the assembly shop of the Siberian giant plant, touching the cold body of the shell. I stroke the fuel block and put my hand on the pointed aiming head. I imagine secret hums, secret quiet music. I can distinguish the words: "For our Motherland - fire! Fire!"

      If our people do not trumpet like pin * wasps at every step about their immense help to terrorists, this does not mean that Russia is not helping Syria. I believe that they themselves would not have held out for two years without our help against the hordes of these cocks, in which hundreds of millions of dollars are poured in. Surely our specialists work there, judging at least by the noticeably improved counter-sniper war among the Syrians, and the regular calls of our ships to Tartus - they certainly do not constantly carry seeds there. I think the question is about the number of supplies, perhaps they could be increased, but how much and specifically we help Syria, we will probably not know soon. For example, that we helped, and for a long time and very significantly, the "Northern Alliance" to fight the Taliban became known only after the arrival of amers in Afghanistan, well, it is not customary for Us to walk in front of all the peacocks.

Even with the naked eye, from scattered publications, one can see that he is already groaning under the load of problems related to financing and arming this rabble called the rebels.

    Already now, the "rebels" have realized that it is dangerous in Syria, they can also cripple. And where to rob and kill is better - where the regime is weak and there is practically no army. The direction of movement of this rabid pack cannot be accurately predicted. Maybe towards Iran, Russia, or maybe south of Syria? Then we'll hear about the wonders of Qatari democracy.

    Saudi Arabia has supplied heavy weapons to Syria

    Syrian rebels fighting for control of the second largest city in Syria, Aleppo, received the first units of heavy weapons - 220-mm multiple-launch rocket systems (RZSO) 9K57 “Hurricane” Soviet-made. Deliveries are made through a Saudi secret service led by Prince Bandar bin Sultan, according to intelligence sources from DEBKAfile. Missile systems were secretly purchased by Saudi agents in the Balkans - in Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo - for large sums of cash. One Soviet 9K57 “Hurricane” is capable of firing a volley of sixteen 220-mm missiles at a distance of up to 40 kilometers.

    An article with a clear miasm of unfriendliness. The bandits are called insurgents, the aggression of international Wahhabism is called a civil war, and the Wahhabis themselves are called the secular Syrian army. Lie on lie! The author is either a Wahhabite himself, or Bashar Assad, a doctor, an intelligent, open person, in relation to whose state activities the word "regime" is simply inapplicable, he personally annoyed him with something. Well, for example, he told the truth.
    And most importantly, the author does not see, or pretends, that he does not see the reasons for this tragedy and its consequences. There are several reasons. Replace Assad’s secular power with the power of Islamic fundamentalists in order to 1) destroy Russia's influence in this region 2) create another outpost to move towards Russia, 3) free up oil-saturated territories for American owners. It was the craving of the Rothschilds, Rockefellers and other leaders of banking Jewry in America (and there are no other banks in America besides Jewish) to enrichment that at least twice became the cause of world wars.
    Russia's position in this supposedly civil war, but the war for world domination, is the most unenviable. The Syrians, although they do not really consider themselves to be Arabs (there is plenty of literature on this score), and therefore among the Alawites, Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary are the most revered saints, which for the Arab-Muslim world is nonsense, they are still "local" and they will not get it like we do.
    The war is already going on with us. So far, in the preparatory phase, in the form of the import of tens of thousands of Islamist militants from Asia and the Caucasus. In St. Petersburg, they are "registered" or "registered" as in the "military registration and enlistment office" in Apraksin Dvor and in a number of simpler places. In other cities of Russia there are similar "accounting points". On day "X" they will take up arms and destroy the civilian population, deprived by the state and government of the right to self-defense. They themselves report this in the inscriptions on the walls of Syrian cities: "First Syria - then Russia" or "Death of Russia" and the like. You have read these inscriptions, they are made in Russian by the hands of "our Caucasian brothers". With the military, at least at first, they will not enter into conflict. Our war machine is clumsy. As long as it unfolds, everything will end. The police are not taken into account, due to their treacherous position in relation to the population, in addition, Muslims are being recruited there at an accelerated pace.
    What to do? Confront the enemy at distant approaches. Decapitate Saudi Arabia, Qatar, destroy "clergy" calling to kill infidels, ie us, to rape non-Muslim women, as is happening today in Syria. And most importantly, to remove from Russia potentially dangerous guest workers and Russian citizens of Muslim origin who have shown themselves unfriendly towards the indigenous population (remember Kondopoga, Sagra, etc.). To identify the figures who organized the massive delivery of a potential enemy to our territory and publicly, so that others would not be confused, to execute them.
    Send inter-squads composed of specialists, snipers to Syria and provide military operations with weapons and equipment, no matter how all sorts of Turkey, Arabia, Qatar and the United States squealed. If necessary, shut off the latter. (Fleet to the shores, airplanes in the air, to intern the citizens of these states located on the territory of Russia).

    Syria will be squeezed-this is my subjective opinion. Alas and ah ... It was not without reason that it was all planned to be thrown. But in any case, Bashar al-Assad, the army and the Syrians bow, real men.

    you need to act in such a war as the Shamans acted! block the village where the concentration of militants for civilians give a few hours to get out and hail and artillery just raze them to the ground! and many mercenaries will flee from Syria because they want to live and they need to be crushed by artillery and large-scale offensive towards Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon to force the militants to the border!

    It is also reported that Hamas militants are taking part in active hostilities in the area of ​​Palestinian refugee camps in Damascus and Aleppo.

    In June, on the outskirts of Damascus, one of the Hamas military commanders, Kamal Hussein Ranaj, was killed. Hamas said Ranaju was liquidated by Israeli agents.

    What is curious is that Hamas kept its headquarters in Damascus for 20 years, trained its militants there and located warehouses. Moreover, all this should have been directed against Israel, and there it was how it turned out.

    Much more questions are raised by the practice of CAA on the creation of temporary checkpoints, which are usually guarded by several tanks. They remain motionless for a long time and turn into “sitting ducks,” allowing the rebels to choose a convenient position for their defeat. And if in the absence of hidden approaches to tanks such a tactic can still be justified, then in settlements or surrounded by gardens it should be recognized as erroneous


    judging by this video this is really so

    This video is clearly staged. A motionless tank that does not show signs of life with a comfortably lowered gun. A peculiar gangster report for spent money.
