Not very surprised that the push started from the Sayyidah Zaynab area, nice quite a number of soldiers and militia are already stationed there to defend the shrine
Nethanyau already stated that any SAA offensive aimed at Daara will be met with force.

Why are ur flags so similar
Jacob Price
the pan arab colors
Parker Wood
Because in Jow Forums the Iraqi flag is the old Ba'athist party flag used during the Saddam era, the three stars signify the unity of Iraq, Syria and Egypt
Wtf is Israel's problem? They're already sitting on illegally occupied land and they keep wanting to start shit with their neighbours. Fuck them i hope they get nuked but i feel like putin will cuck out from doing it
Israel do what they want because the Jew card. Also, their guard dog America watches over them
My favorite version is the one used in the 1990s where it's got the three stars but also Allahu Akbar said to be written in Saddam's handwriting, mainly because of nostalgia. And yes, there are some people prefer the older version
oh I didn't know it was official, because the delivery was covered up by literal smokescreens.
Charles Clark
same one
Nathaniel Howard
it was, then it went public
Hudson Young
Am I supporting Syria because they're killing Zionists? I'm not too caught up on events
Asher Powell
How has your life changed? How have you managed to find employment? Lots of single damascus cuties?
Caleb Rogers
i just watched the vuce documentary about syria, holy shit latakia has some sexy chicks. the russians stationed there must be swimming in pussy. i must go there after the war
Adam Thompson
Theyre opposed to Zionists, sure
But what they do even more effectively is killing Wahhabi terrorist scum The less wahhabi factions in the world the better
William Harris
i was born and raised in Damascus, i'm currently an accountant in an NGO, there are alot of single cuties here around me, im doing fine myself
Aaron Murphy
Is it true they call Deir ez-Zor, "ad-Deir" for short?
Wyatt Lewis
yep, or just deir

Will you guys be covering Lebanon with them to stop the kike strikes, or at least force them to use something longer range or launched from elsewhere?
Logan Brooks
Although the S300 & S400 system delivery is good news in general, I don't think it will entirely neuter the kike's ability to harass most of southern and central syria with their trademark cruise-missile-and-run™ tactic
Below is the analysis of a former personnel of an anti-air detachment as to why the above is the case sadly: >I see a lot of discussion about (non)usage of Russian/Syrian air defence systems in Syria. People often think of extreme ranges of interceptor missiles (more than 100km), and associate that with some “protection umbrella” with 100+km radius. It is then hard to understand from that point of view, how can something enter within 100km of SAM site and survive? Air defence of Syria is directly dependent on terrain configuration. One must understand the concept of radar horizon and radar shadow, and how they impact air defence systems. Radar horizon is the limit of target detection zone, and it scales with height of radar antenna. That is why AWACS fly high and see far away. And that is why sea based radars don’t have much of a range except for high flying targets. Anything beyond this zone won’t be detected. Then there is a radar shadow. To put it very simply, radar shadow is an area within normal radar range that is blocked by some terrain feature, like mountain range. Radar is ineffective in that area.
i think Hez will have it covered, the kikes wont drag lebanon into this

>Terrain features of Syrian Latakia province can be seen on this image(kike_rat_jewing_mother_nature_1.jpg). Light blue dashed line represents radar horizon for radars located along the coastline (i.e. Latakia city and Tartus). Beyond that line inside Syria, those radars can't see aircrafts, except those flying at extremely high altitudes. This means that S-400 systems located along the coastline can be used to the maximum range to protect only from attacks coming from the sea. Inlands, it only protects against targets flying over small strip of coastline (around 40km from the sea). For example, TUAF drone flying at 2km altitude over Khan Sheikun (70km from Latakia) or over Jisr Ash Shugur (55km from Latakia) can’t even be acquired by S-400 sites along the coastline. While that drone can surely be acquired by other radars elsewhere in Syria, and eventually target trace can probably be exchanged with S-400 systems along the coast, it is doubtful that it can be engaged with S-400 missiles. Of course, this assumes that S-400 long range missile needs midcourse target updates via direct line-of-sight link from battery command site. This also suggests that recently launched US/UK/F cruise missiles used some alternative approaches via Turkey/Lebanon/Israel/Jordan, in order to avoid early detection by Russian coastline radars.
honestly not just about the radar horizon, it's ability to intercept multiple targets largely depends on the trajectory and elevation, but anyways its a highly capable system
Grayson Rodriguez
>Approach from Lebanon is regularly employed by Israeli Air Force attacks at Syria. Terrain features there can be seen on this image(kike_rat_jewing_mother_nature_2.jpg). Light blue line is the trajectory of Israeli aircraft, which use Bekaa valley radar shadow to hide their approach. Lebanon mountain to the west of Bekaa valley protects them from Syrian coastline radars, and Anti Lebanon mountain to the east of Bekaa valley protects them form Damascus radars. Red lines are flight paths of stand-off missiles that are launched towards Syria while launch aircrafts are inside Bekaa valley. Missiles are picked up by Syrian mainland radars only in terminal flight phase after those missiles hop over Anti Lebanon mountains.
>Wahhabi Killing Jews and ragheads? God bless assad
Alexander Wilson
>This attack vector puts SAA air defences at severe disadvantage, because reaction time is very short. For example, JASSM missile launched from an aircraft flying above Baalbek, Lebanon at Dumayr airbase in Syria (60km away), would be ideally detected when it hops over Anti Lebanon mountains. From that point, flying at 800Km/h, missile impacts in less than 4 minutes. In that time, central air defense must classiffy threat, identify possible target, alarm the units that can intercept, and communicate approval of engagement to those units. Units then have to chose engagement profile - one or more missiles, intercept near or far, engagement radar acivity, where will missile debris fall on civilian settlements etc... all in less than 4 minutes.
>Let me tell you this as someone who had endured NATO missiles - SAA air defence is doing GREAT job.
No but seriously i agree, people who aren't part of the land or lived there for a very long time shouldn't meddle with it's afairs.
Christian Johnson
What is the state of international law if Israel uses Lebanese airspace to attack Syria? Is Syria allowed to down the planes if fired upon first or about to be fired upon even though the weapon Israel is firing is going to Syria and the one Syria is firing is going to Lebanon?
violating another countries airspace is illegal as is, wether with planes or missiles doesn‘t matter. Attacking another nation without UN mandate is illegal too, but as you well know Israel is immune to international Law
Asher Morales
nice
Ryder Nguyen
no, only if we signed a joint defence agreement or to ask us formally, firing into the lebanese airspace is a violation, we wont intercept until they reach our airspace
Charles Miller
Well that is a given but is Syria allowed to fire back without legal repercussions?
Hudson Morgan
I never knew this was real. I always assumed it was metaphor.
