The United States-led Coalition deployed additional heavy weapons in northern Syria, defying Turkey’s recent threats to Kurdish forces in the region.
On December 13, photos of the reinforcements surfaced online. The photos showed several M777 towed 155 mm howitzers. Local sources in northern Syria said that additional M2A3 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles were also brought in.
The M777 has a maximum rate of fire of seven rounds per minute with a range of up to 40 kilometers when firing Excalibur precision-guided rounds.
The Bradley vehicle is armed with a 25 mm M242 chain gun, a 7.62 mm coaxial M240C machine gun and a dual TOW Anti-Tank Guided Missile, ATGM, launcher. The M2A3 version is equipped with additional armors, a better engine and an improved targeting system.

The U.S.-led coalition maintains several base in northern Syria in cooperation with its local proxy, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), who happens to main the main foe of Turkey in the region.
Turkey launched Operation Claw-Sword against Kurdish forces in Syria and Iraq on November 20 in response to the November 13 bombing in Istanbul. Ankara believes that the Kurdish People’s Protection Units, which is the core faction of the SDF, was involved in the terrorist attack.
Early on in the operation, the SDF halted all joint operations with the U.S.-led coalition to protest repeated Turkish strikes and threats of a new ground invasion. However, the halt ended in less than two weeks.
Turkey has so far limited Operation Claw-Sword to few air and artillery strikes. In a recent interview, SDF leader Ferhat Abdi Şahin said that pressure from the U.S. and even Russian prevented Ankara from launching a full-blown invasion.
The U.S. has condemned the recent bombing in Istanbul, and stressed support for Turkey, a key NATO member. However, it appears to be that Washington favors its Kurdish allies over Ankara when it comes to Syria. This will likely push the Turkish government towards more cooperation with Russia, and possibly the Syrian government of President Bashar al-Assad.

Russia and Assad should encourage Turkey to clean up Northern Syria. Kurds are fake communists and puppets of Americans. SAA should attack from the south and Turkey from the north so Americans and their lapdogs will be crushed. End of oil thefts.
SHITtila, dismiss your poor rags, UNHUMAN GENOCIDAL! AND GO OUT OF SURIYA, IRAQ, ANATOLIA, THRACE, CYPRUS, ARMENIA, LYBIA …!
However, PKK are terrorists and supported by Soros, ANTIFA and CIA.
Thrace, Cyprus are Greek. Anatolia should embrace its Byzantine roots. Armenia should grow bigger just like Syria and Iraq. Libya is somewhat good but somewhat evil and there will be chaos and anarchy there.
Chris dreaming big again. wake up you having a Turkish nightmare again
Turkish nightmare lol
IT .. think about your poor heart take it easy now
GeoPolitically this is inevitable, but after the turds are killed, the assheadists will be killed.
And then its game over for the filthy jews.
Even today kikesis jews serve at AlQaedas feet, literally killing themselves world wide, that AlQaeda can rest on its hard earned Laurels and watch as Armageddon unfolds.
#JewDidNaziThatComing
SSNP may do a coup in Damascus and overthrow both Assad and FSA. This is the Sufyani’s army.
I only go with the tried and True Brands, not some snippy or snoopy acronym for ex queer anon and angheyfa phaggots who are just snakes.
For example iswap is the ghey name of queer phaggots who tried to steal the Brand of Boko Haram and Sheik Shekau.
#ToughLife4UsedCarSalesMen
Assad still supports SDF. On the other hand, Egypt probably normalized with Turkey because they secretly know that the US will arm Nubian far-leftists and jihadists to disintegrate Egypt, just like they did with Ethiopia in the Tigray region.
Ive already stated my Brands and will state again:
1. Jedi (Ikhwan, AlQaeda, Taliban, HTS) -not kikesis, not fsghey, or any other deviant
2. Kamikaze (Bruce Lee, IpMan, SeiwaGenji) -not jew jitsu, not krav maga, not blackbeltless commiekazeds ded
3. Nazis (Hitler, MeinKampf, Third Reich) -not stalin, not snoopy, not snippy
The good thing is that now many Islamists are being killed.
May Allah ensure that the wars in the Middle East never end.
If the Islamists eventually run out of soldiers, Europe is happy to send back a few million Muslims who can take part in the wars.
Don’t be so short sighted. The problem is with terrorists not Muslims in general.
Muslims become Islamists and terrorists.
NATO is increasingly becoming Nazified, thanks to Franz Kafka and Pavlovs lavrov.
GeoStrategically, the pressure building up Worldwide, is bearing jewsy fruit, which is a bitter fruit created specifically for the filthy filthy jew and his whore of a filthy filthy jew grandmother.
SDF will either join Russia-Assad or they will be obliterated.
SDF is owned by the US STFU, it is like saying FSA will either join Syria-Russia-Iran or they will be obliterated. Nor the FSA or SDF have any saying in this matter, Turkey and the US have the ownership of them.
Without the US there wouldn’t be a group called SDF, and likewise there wouldn’t be a group called FSA without Turkey. Those two groups have no options donkey and that is why the US and Turkey right up stealing from Syria.
You are incorrect. You say if FSA will join an Iran-backed alliance. They did in Libya and Qatar.
Erdougan needs to do what Putin is doing in Ukraine. Go after the power-energy and other infrastructure until the whole of the illegally occupied parts of North East Syria is back in the stone age. The local Arab population will eventually rise up and kick the PKK-YPG-SDF Kurdish terrorists and ethnically cleanse them for good.
Erdogan’s wife is Arab.70% of Turks are white Muslims, not Arabs. Erdogan is trying to kill Turkish identity totally. Erdogan wants to turn the Turkey to Arabia. That’s why Erdogan allowed 7 million Arab refugees (syrian,afganistan,pakistan,iran) enter easily and settle in the Turkey and buying houses freely. After 30 years there will be + 30 million Arabs living in Turkey and +30 million Kurds, a second enemy after Kurds will be the Arabs against Turkey. Erdogan changing middle east and Turkey and destroying Turkish identity.
Syrians, Iranians, Afghans and Pakis are not Arabs, try again.
CIA clearly said they NEED their Kurdish terrorists in Syria, Iraq, Iran and Turkey to go their dirty works.
Terrorists attack in Turkey? Kurdish gangs.
Riots and terrorists attack in Iran? Kurdish gangs.
Terrorists camps in Syria and Iraq run by which group? Kurdish gangs.
Also they US had to suck their own cuck as Iraq, Syria, Turkey and Iran all agree to put Kurdish gangs in their places (even Russia).
You are saying half truths. SDF is 70% Syrian. PKK is 30% in them. KDP is allied with Turkey and fight against PKK. PUK is kind of friendly to Iran.
ISIL was mostly Sunnis but headed by Wahhabis fukface. It is the same case here, the US even had to come in and remove Kurdish leaders and put Arab leaders in SDF so it wouldn’t become a joke clown.
SDF isn’t doing much in Syria, it is this Kurdish groups (PKK/YPG terrorist groups) that attack Turkey, and do Zion-yanuqis jobs in Syria, Iraq, Iran and Turkey clown. IRGC killed which terrorist group in Iran during this riots? or attack which group in N-Iraq? those groups are 99% Kurdish you fuking rtded clown. The SDF is a smoke screen and it is nothing but that, guess what fukhead? Turkey also has SDF like group called FSA.
Care to tell us why FSA-mostly Syrian Arab (Turkey backed) and SDF-mostly Syrian Arab (US backed) attack each other?
The amount of shit you say is laughable clown. OI cunt Bahrain is mostly Shia (more than75%) – but the Sunni royal family, Al Khalifa, governs the country.
You don’t understand English fukface don’t fuking reply to with your BS. What the fuk are you even talking about?
Your comment is an insult to humanity.
ISIL weren’t normal Sunnis but Wahhabis. Normal Sunnis had joined the Sahwa movement.
The terrorist groups that attack are in Turkey PKK, in Iran PJAK, in Syrian YPG and in Iraq YBS (Sinjar). Barzani’s KDP and islamic Kurdish groups like Kurdish Islamic Union and Saladin Ayubi brigade are supporting Turkey.
The PUK of Talabani are pro-Iran.
If you weren’t an idiot, you would realise that PKK had support from the Palestinian PLO and the Syrian Ba’athists while PJAK in Iran, along with far-left terror groups called Komala and KDPI were supported by Saddam’s regime.
Iran attacked KDPI and PJAK while Turkey attacked PKK and YPG and the Iraqis with Barzani attacked the Yazidi YBS of Shingal.
GET THE FUCK OUT OF SYRIA YOU DEMENTED NAZI USA WE ARE GOING TO KILL YOU ALL LIKE THE VERMIN YOU ARE, REMEMBER AFGHANISTAN IN SYRIA THIS WILL BE MUCH WORSE THAN THAT YOU NAZI USA SCUM. =Z=
