Syrian Civil War: News #6

par far wrote:The Kurds don't want to come South, they were asked to do so by the US and they said no because they did not want to liberate Arab lands that they would not be able to hold onto. The Kurdish Forces are working with the SAA and Russia(I think Russia is giving the Kurds weapons) to link up the East and West.

Russia need to bring in their MiG-29SMTs as they have been in service for pretty good years and the pilots will be well versed with it.




Btw, is there anyone who believe (I'd already expressed it a few times earlier) that Russia needs to have a forward operating base in Iran to cater for the Saudi's and Qatari's in support of the Syrian counter-terrorist campaign and for supporting the Yemeni's?

The response to Saudi incursion near Syrian border should not be just to bolster the forces to fight the Saudi's along the Syrian border or inside Syria (in both of these cases anyway, Russia/Syria/Iran will act), but the response to such an escalation should be near the Saudi border and on Saudi soil/airspace!

One thing is for sure, once the Saudi's enter the ring, oil price will be rising, and once F-15 start falling out of sky due to technical error, the oil prices will shoot up further....it will progress as such...

Which is my point exactly. For now all new goodies (ones they've ordered) can wait safely in Russia.

When a Syrian soldier is wounded, he is treated in Syria

When a "Syrian rebel" is wounded, he is treated in Israel, Turkey or Jordan

Is this the first combat footage we have of the T-90's in Syria?

This is the best thing to do right now, once this war is ending, than Russia can start training SAA personnel on the new equipment.

So whats your opinion on what the allies should be doing and what available options are available to them??


My personal opinion regarding any escalation w.r.t boxing has been to wait untill the 11356 & 22350 have entered service. Atleast one each now, preferably after 4 of them have entered active service and deployed to the Syrian/mid-east theatre.

Huh, not much they can do atm. Russians can offer some air cover by air defence and those few fighters but that is not enough to protect Kurds and SAA assets on the ground if Turks and Saudis really decide to start full scale invasion of Syria. Russian ground assets are unexisting, so i assume that is the reason why Dol is leaving Black sea towards Syrian coast, to keep Turks in some kind of fear that they might strike their advancing forces, but again 8 cruise missiles is not much.

I guess SAA will have to assist Kurds now, i imagine they will have alot more in common than they did before.
