The SAA won't cross the river until they are fully ready, it is Russia and Iran that do most of the planning but do you think Seig that the SAA is under pressure to capture the oil fields in East Syria before the Kurds do? I think they will get everything under control in about a week and than cross the river.

SeigSoloyvov wrote:The road is not secure their flanks aren't secure crossing the river makes them easier to ambush harder to supply that is a poor attitude dude.

There is zero tactical need to cross the river right now, Dier it's self is not fully secure I could go on...but hey.

There's both tactical and strategic need to be able to cross at a moment's notice. See, they didn't cross yet. But they can. Concerning their flanks and situation, all that means little to nothing. Considering how Aleppo was retaken, one supply line (albeit exposed) and superior intel and firepower 24/7. They prevailed.

IS is on the run and SAA has a good set of cards at hand.
Kit, air support, tactical options, momentum, morale, propaganda, maskirovka and manpower.

What is everything thing? the urban fighting in dier alone will be more than a week.

Only reason SAA would be launching an operation is if the kurds were getting ready to rush the oil fields.

To which I cannot comment on if they are and aren't.

Yes I said this in my first post if they need to sure.

The SAA had thousands of more men in Aleppo then the rebels at the time.

I do not agree with your assumptions, SAA hardly has the numbers game right now.

Syrian Army plans to cross Euphrates to end American expansion

By Leith Fadel - 07/09/2017

BEIRUT, LEBANON (3:45 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) is planning to cross the Euphrates in the Deir Ezzor Governorate after liberating several areas along the western bank of this vast river.

Syrian Army reinforcements were seen, Thursday, transporting several boats to the Deir Ezzor Governorate for what is expected to be the government’s first attempt during this war to cross the Euphrates and push into these eastern territories.

Crossing the Euphrates River will provide the Syrian Army many advantages, including the ability to cutoff the Islamic State’s (ISIL) main supply line and obstruct the U.S.’ expansion into the Deir Ezzor Governorate.

In this and in another previous post we begin to see the first evidences of the use of a number of new enginering vehicles in Syria. Engineering vehicles for combat areas, and auxiliary unarmoured engineering vehicles. Concretely this is material based on Kraz tucks that seems to have been moved to Syria in the lasts months. This year has been probed in military training in Russia, and by now must be also finnished in Russia.

Likely to see in Syria TMM-3, TMM-3M, PMP-M, PPS-84, BMK-460 and PST-160 based on Kraz-214, Kraz-255, Kraz-260 and Zil-130.

The pictures of the pontoon bridge and this breakthrough in the direction of the points where the Euphrates can be crossed, are just showing that they are planning to cross the river soon.



All of this breakthrough, bypassing main road, bypassing the strongest ISIS forces, spreading misinformation about the direction of the attack, and certainly forcing of the Euphrates.
Now surrounding of ISIS force in the DeZ, crossing the river and probably breakthrough toward as-Suwar resemble much of the old Soviet school. This is a very carefully planned operation. They went fast in most places, and hit where the enemy was the weakest. This crossing is practically the last strategic point in the war against ISIS. With one stroke, they will separate ISIS forces into two parts, and block the progress of the SDF to the south. They also approach their enclaves in Kamishli and Hasaka.

They must go as soon as possible.
