A brief overview of the recent developments in Syria:

The logical step should be to cut the terrorist enclave of Idlib into two from Aleppo, Darat Izza and Atmeh axis, which is sparsely populated and will entail low collateral damage and the simultaneously move from the west Latakia-Salma region which is a major highway. I am surprised that the SAA has not used heliborne commando units behind headchopper lines. In 1973, the Syrian Pink Panthers (Special Forces) even captured Mt.Hermon from Zionists in a daring day time heliborne landing, sadly the arsehole Sadat sold them out and stopped the Sinai advance. I wonder why Russian gunships and SU-25 Frogfoots are not covering a SAA heliborne assault?
SAA should cut Aleppo-Hama higway…otherwise they will face problems ..as terrorist use that Highway for fast supply!
Indeed, it will take a major manpower effort as the SAA is spread thin and the Americunts have started major terrorism in the Dei Azzur Palmyra region again too. I believe this is time for Russia and Iran to get real and coordinate their ground and air campaigns or things will get far worse.
it’s finally time to give a decisive punch all around, just to affirmate the power of sovereign country in his territories, coordinating and regroup a great coordinate attack in Idlib, in Deir Ezzor and Palmyra battefields, also committing more men and weapons to reinstate respect in Syria sovereign right to crush whatever criminal group (including ussa, uk, french mercenaries and making coming home that very animals)
SAA has plenty of soldiers, plenty of weapons, but little will to solve problems. On the other hand Russia has been stopping any strong SAA offensive on Idlib because Russia wants to please Turkey (NATO member) and its terrorists.
Howmuch area Turkey has taken from Syria and how much area America and Israel have taken due to dirty action of Turkey. Still we will think Erdogan is a Muslim leader. Erdogan is a true example of today’s traitor.
Syria has full right to invade on all these illegal foreign occupiers to burn and buried them there without discrimination. Otherwise Syrian nation will fight like Palestinians and will lose land and nation to America, Israel and Turkey. Responsibles is Erdogan. This is a message for Erdogan and Assad.
Assad, Putin and Rohani should be active to bring Syria together.
No more stupid ceasefires, even if Russia pressure Syria to do this. Russia is still pleasing Turkey and its terrorists at Idlib by stopping any strong SAA offensive action here.
Yeah this costed the lives of many SAA soldiers. Sad
This is a political maneuver giving the Syrian Army Regrouping time
It is also being done to push the enemy’s manpower into a big bag, more tightly, to identify their routes of movement and intentions – THEN to DESTROY THEM by aviation and artillery.
The Syrian Army is not able to fight alone with the Turkish army- and CANT TAKE IDLIB ALONE, without us you are fucked up, the Turks have heavy aircraft and a lot of armored vehicles, do not think that you can attack them.
Of course, they are not such great warriors as they think of themselves, but objectively the Turkish Army is stronger than the Syrian one.
We protect the Syrian Army from destruction. Turks are stronger than you, you are safe while we protect you.
Losses on any war are inevitable. Be patient, Idlib’s question will be solved one way or another.
Thank you for this thoughtful comment. But…..anyway, we will see what happens.
You are welcome, let’s see what will happen
Odd that you thought of 1944-1945. I still remember those years well.
I have said all along that Syria needed take that base at Al-Tabaqah, now look.
Russia needs to give Turkey the ultimatum to withdraw all troops from Idlib or they will be targeted.
