"In Syria was killed another commander of the IRGC, - stated in the message. - Brigadier General Hossein Fadai, who served under the pseudonym Zolfaqar", was one of the commanders of the brigades of the IRGC "Vitamin". The fadai was an Iranian military adviser and was killed during clashes with the Syrian army to terrorist group "Islamic state" (banned in Russia organization), describes details of the Agency.
Noting that this is not the first time that Iran loses in Syria of its military personnel, the Agency cited a recent example: in November near Aleppo in the North of the country killed three soldiers Sunita, natives of the southeastern Iranian province of Sistan and Baluchestan. In this regard, the Farce draws attention to the fact that in the ranks of Iranian military advisers in Syria are Shiites and the Sunnis, who do not divide each other based on religious affiliation, but assist Damascus in fighting the common enemy - terrorism.

In the area of Aleppo were spotted the T-90 the first series, which is still referred to as the T-90 of 1992. These cars differ from the newer T-90A Russian army because they are welded instead of cast turret, other track, same as T-72B. If the T-90A has an engine IN-S to 1000 HP, the early model - IN-MS 840 HP

On the T-90 the first series is not installed the infrared camera and infrared sight "Buran PA", which has a more reduced performance than thermal imaging system "ESSA" T-90A.

This machine is early 90-ies is a complex optical-electronic suppression of tshu-1 "Blind-1", designed to deflect attacks managed anti-tank missiles, as well as equipment of the "Locales" of remote detonation of high-explosive projectile.

Despite their age, these tanks are significantly higher than the T-72B, not to mention available to Syrians of old T-72M1, in the right hands they can be a very dangerous weapon.

The Kubrick thing is an obvious fake. About 13:15 the interviewer makes a gaffe and says "I spoke to [Armstrong] before his death..." however Kubrick died 13 years before Armstrong.

I'm almost certain that it's a VBIED loaded with ANFO, not an ammo dump/truck. The target's shaping is odd, the color resembles rusted steel plate, typical of ISIS' bomb trucks. Ammo burns when hit and produces numerous secondaries, ANFO goes up with a large, dark explosion like you see in this video.

Here's some actual ammo trucks getting hit.

Strange move, it has to be diversionary. They should be focusing their troops to defend Idlib and Saraqib. Any territory they take in North Hama wont mean shit if the SAA are at their backside.

Some of the Turkish troops deployed in a camp in northern Iraq have left and are heading toward the border of Turkey, NTV news channel reported citing military sources on Monday.

ANKARA (Sputnik) – According to the news station, 10 military vehicles left the Bashik camp not far from the city of Mosul.

Iraqi authorities said Turkish servicemen and armored vehicles entered Iraqi territory on December 4. Iraq has called the presence of Turkish military on its territory illegal and has demanded Ankara immediately withdraw the troops.


However, Iraqi authorities so far do not have any information that would confirm that Turkey has withdrawn some of its military troops from the country’s northern region, an Iraqi government source told Sputnik on Monday.

“We currently don’t have any information confirming the withdrawal of Turkish troops from Iraq,” the source said.

The UN Security Council has failed to condemn a terrorist attack in the city of Homs on Saturday that took the lives of 22 civilians, rejecting a Russian draft statement. Syria criticized the international community’s double standards.

“Marj al-Sultan Airbase has been freed. Terrorists from the al-Nusra Front and the Jaish al-Islam have retreated toward Hush al-Salehi. Dozens of militants have been killed,” the source told RIA Novosti. The Mardj-al-Sultan airbase is located in Douma, a town 18 kilometers from Damascus. It served as a major stronghold for the Jaish al-Islam terrorist group.

According to the source, the Syrian army and militia have managed to establish a security zone around the airbase. Army engineers are demining the area.

On November 10, the Syrian army with Russia's air support managed to break the blockade of the Kweiris airbase in eastern Aleppo province. Kweiris airbase has been besieged by terrorist groups for more than three years. The airport's garrison of about 1,000 officers and soldiers repelled over 400 attacks by militants, killing about 1,500 terrorists.
