This war is definitely lost. It's over. SAA can't take small villages without hundred of casualties. Wahabists take cities without a fight. It's hard to say but this war is unwinnable.
Since Russia started it's campaign Syria has lost bigger cities like Morek, Mhardeh and only taken villages.

Before I request to have you banned for trolling, care to share links of hundreds dead trying to acquire villages?  So you would rather that the stretched thin soldiers die rather than fight another day when more prepared?

You are pitiful.

There are villages in Tartous and in Latakia without any alawite men left. SAA are taking high casualites, while deserters come to Europe to rape and pillage. They are losing the demographic war that's why they are retreating from cities without a fight.

I will ask 1 more time before I report you: I want links to the last comment.  And no, that isn't why they are retreating from a surrounded position.

Besides leaving a town, they have gained a lot of areas and also took a major highway.  That is success.  You cannot win everything and sometimes it is best to pull and and strike.

Feel free to report me.
They needed months to capture Morek they lost it within a couple of hours. Hundreds of casulties to capture it and lost it without a fight. Simple as that. Just like Idlib, Palmyra, Jisr-Shogour. etc.

More from #morek: #saa apparently moving around to encircle nusra-led force now inside the town. Ambitious, given that it's night time

If soldiers withdraw because they are outnumbered or for any other reason, Moscow would have fallen, Stalingrad would have fallen. SAA is in no position to withdraw. They have overwhelming air power and arti support. Plus I heard they withdrew without even fighting first. You don't withdrew unless you have heavy casualties and cannot hold. Morek is a town. It's not a village. Even villages must be fought for rather than withdraw without a fight. History has shown it is very difficult to SAA to capture a town. Kafr Nabodah. Captured and lost in a day. Salma. Still not captured. Rabia. Still not captured.

First of all, the Jihadis are suffering much heavier casualties over all. These local counterattacks don't mean the end of the war...and second the battle around Morek is ongoing....SAA withdrew without loses and is reportedly counterattacking....

OK...interesting

Can't see much, but claims that 2 rebel convoys destroyed at Morek as they were entering the town, possibly by airstrike

sepheronx wrote:Oh but Russia had retreated more than once in battles in the eastern front.  And also not retreating in many other cases lead to far too many unnecessary deaths.

Forces that retreated have reentered Morek. Source on the ground says that Russian choppers are circling the Islamist positions.

Source on the ground said the Russian airstrikes did heavy damage to the Islamists inside Morek. A whole building collapsed with them in it
