Fantastic movie. Really liked it when they showed Assad barrel bombing all of those innocent children and the rebels surrendered because of their love for gay porn that coincided with Putins gambling scene in Ildib.
there should be an anime amde out of the Yemen war and the protagonist is the Saudi Prince as the 'hero' but the twist is it's actually a deconstruction of the usual heros journy and it depicts the repeated failure andthrough arrogance and hubris, culminating in KSA going up in flames
People in #Nawa City are getting slaughtered by #Russia|n airstrikes, #Assad regime barrel bombs and heavy artillery shelling tonight. Dozens of civilians were already killed and the hospital was destroyed.
>MFW have been to busy for this war and have just checked the maps. Nice gains. Nice gains.
So, I've been checking the news. Are the Jews now turning away all the """""""moderates""""""" who are running from the SAA? The same """""""moderates""""""" that they f(o)unded?
Sirens heard in Golan Heights in Northern Israel is due to leakage from infighting from internal groups fighting in Syria. No damage/injuries reported.
>It is doubtful that Gaza understands this, but Israel's patience has faded. A few more kites and balloons in the next couple of days, and the sides would slide to a rapid and extensive escalation.
>Hamas is convinced that the voices emanating from Israel are "as if"; That visits by the military and security echelons in the Gaza Strip are "holding us back"; That the exercise of the 162nd Division in the Negev and the deployment of Iron Dome batteries were intended only for intimidation; That the relatively large-scale attacks of recent days were intended to convey a power beyond which there was no real intention to fight; That Israel is looking only north, and really does not want war in the south.
>This analysis of Hamas is fundamentally flawed. Conversations with senior officials in the political and security echelon over the last 24 hours indicate that Israeli patience has expired.
>The occupation government set the deadline for Friday to put an end to the burning planes fired by young people on the Gaza border. The Israeli government gave the green light to the army to launch a military operation if the incendiary aircraft did not stop, saying that "if this does not happen, the army will launch a military campaign in the Gaza Strip"
A Jdam cost few tens of thousands dollars while a barrel bomb is like couple bucks worth of scraps. According to Mic if you don’t drop million dollars worth of bomb against a couple of ragheads you’re very very evil.

Its normal for small villages to be either bypassed because it doesnt present a large threat or has been abandoned by retreating militants or it has been captured but not important enough or intentionaly not to be reported.
That could very be the case but we'll see what tomorrow brings.
A barrel bomb is a regular barrel filled with explosives. Its just a cruder version, cheaper version of a regular dumb bomb. Media hyped it up to portray the SAA/Assad as some evil, baby-eating, bakery destroying devil while the SyAAF has to wage war on a limited budget and cannot afford the more expensive guided bombs.
>Why is Nawa getting targeted before this place? Look at satellite and topographical maps, it's just a tiny shithole not imperative for the capture of Nawa.
Hi /sg/ Jow Forums I am creating a story line for a campaign im creating in ARMA 3''s mission editor loosely echoing scenarios of the syrian / ukraine conflicts and am looking for anyone that can share some stories or lesser known details of being a soldier on the front line that I can use to add immersion of playing the campaign. I have a few basic retard questions hopefully someone can answer. note: I use the acronym FSA for the melting pot of "rebel" factions >how prevalent is drug use among FSA / SAA fighters? >rations / calorie intake? how rare is water in the middle east? >how many bullets or grenades are given to fighters before going to secure a town or similar? >were there any notable tank battles of the war? How did FSA learn how to use newly captured high tech military vehicles and equipment? >what is the difference in medical attention received between being an FSA or SAA soldier? Any pictures or videos showing in detail the outpost firing positions, bunkers, or living quarters (the rougher the better) of either side would be appreciated. Reading material is also good such as My War Gone By, I Miss It So by Anthony Loyd or One Soldier's War by Arkady Babchenko .
the nawa resistance will give strength to the rebels. those who surrendered will change their minds and make guerrilla war behind the SAA's lines. The frontline will collapse and SAA will get BTFO'd

>this might take a while Not really, the SAA are targeting the military positions surrounding the city before rolling in. Same shit as Harra, the jihadis controls the hills and the moderates are drinking tea in the city waiting for SAA to arrive. The reports of targeting the actual civilians are obviously overblown.
Nathaniel Wood
Nah, but they aren't real soldiers anyways. I remember the story, they have a program to "empower" the youth by giving them mock political and military positions.
The fsa got Equipmed and trained by CIA and gulf allys and turkey. Its already known and admited by them. The factions got always the ammo stored near theire outposts in fairly big quantitys. Would like to write more but i am on phone. youtu.be/OD9UmrcbbGM Failed isis assault in iraq
Also include the Mission of the russian spetznaz who got surounded by isis and ordered an airstrike in himself Or the spetznaz unit who fought against 300 rebels in Aleppo or the al kindi hospital siege or deir ar zor siege
Foua pocket in Idlibistan being evacuated in the next few days and massive explosions ongoing as heavy armaments are being destroyed and nearly 92% of Daraa province is now retaken more than 5 weeks ahead of the earliest estimate schedule. Whats left of the FSA should quickly fold down there with the biggest threat being the ISIS pocket despite their low numbers.
That definitely means the Idlib offensive planned for September is happening.
Also reports that Al Tanf is being evacuated by October 2018 to SDF territory meaning SAA can retake the area.
I've been observing how the cia works this place. It's almost like bots. The see something dumb but potent and they run it as a thread. Sort of like trump distracting people.
Aaron Campbell
wrong thread mate
Carson Miller
The taking of Daraa/Quinetra and the evacuation of Al Tanf will make the map of Syria so much more better, all that unobstructed red will be so pretty!
Andrew Clark
Realistically, what are the odds of putin convincing king roach to retreat the observation posts from Idlib?
Robert Nelson
>how prevalent is drug use among FSA / SAA fighters? there are many reports from the ypg that isis fighters where really high in somethin when they do theyre attacks. They often found captagon pills in theyre baracks also there are videos of captured FSA rebels totally high while being captured by SAA soldiers. But srsly i think its overrated and not that common but who knows news.com.au/world/middle-east/syria-war-captagon-drug-fuelling-both-sides/news-story/64642e93ac8ea4cbb466bf4a2877b0c0
>rations / calorie intake? how rare is water in the middle east? Water has to be brought when they are in the desert areas mostly in small plastic bottles. This need to be constantly supplied or they have to retreat Food? I don't know i mostly see the SAA eat things like cooked beans arab bread and maybe eggs and also some russian rations but not that much. For the rebels its the same but they have """"surprisingly"""" american and israel rations youtu.be/BjWxPFfRYSU?t=301
>i mostly see the SAA eat things like cooked beans arab bread and maybe eggs and also some russian rations lol no, the SAA gets a potato or two and some bread.

>how many bullets or grenades are given to fighters before going to secure a town or similar? enough the rebels and SAA normally pre plan the offensives and have the stuff they need. even the rebells are normally well equiped with different weaponry for the needed assault youtu.be/2YO9pL3fnKY >sillencers, grenade launchers, rocket launchers ...
