Syria situation after the fall of Baath regime #1

I don't see how an attack by a thousand militants, almost certainly with light weapons, on a Russian base would be very effective.
With the helicopters there, it would be enough to neutralize them.

Depends how smart the attacking force are, but when you have a large force attacking a smaller force the problem becomes that of numbers.

If you are on your own and 10 people rushed your position... how many can you kill before they reach your position and it becomes hand to hand?

The problem is made worse when those 10 people are shooting at you so you can't just leisurely pick them off one by one... you have to take cover and move from firing position to firing position.

If they work together they could keep several firing positions under continuous fire as they approach so your chances of shooting them is reduced.

Obviously there are lots of variables... if they use vehicles you can kill them in groups, if they are on motorbikes or light dune buggy type vehicles they can be hard to hit... all coming at once is a lot of targets at once.

Plus of course they could have artillery support etc... like mortar teams etc etc.

Armed by Turkey they will have ATGMs and MANPADS and other equipment and also possibly drones from Ukraine.

In exchange for a ceasefire with Russia and Alawite and Christians or others who live along the coast or even secular or Sunni or Druze not wishing to live with Israel , and want to move to the coast , then Russia will honour their territory and not allow any other outside forces in the coastal region .

So we have it ...
First statements of the transitional Syrian regime regarding Russian presence.
"Russia is the second most powerful country in the world, we won't spoil our relations"
"Russian presence is welcomed".
Sort of funny how all the apes run away from this thread back to the cages, agree?

Erdogan is their next target IMO.

He has been targeted back in 2015 already. Russkie saved his ass by sharing intel regarding the coup.

The reason for the "degradation of the situation" in Syria was Bashar al-Assad's inability to cope with social problems in the country in the context of a protracted civil war (c) Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov

Nothing more to add, honestly.

HTS , SDF , SNA , FSA , YPG , ISIS , Zionist  replacing SAA . The headchopper boss is playing one dimensional skittles . How to hold on to his own head ? He wants to play one against another . Shifting positions continuously . A Jack of all trades , and master of none .

Sort of funny how all the apes run away from this thread back to the cages, agree?

And the really amusing thing is that they crow about Russia being kicked out of Syria as a victory for Syria.

HTS and the anti assad forces were not one homogeneous force, they are a large number of factions who main source of unity was the shared goal of getting rid of Assad.

Russia supported Assad because the alternative was going to be a civil war when all the factions had achieved their shared goal.

The real test for Syria is if they can deal with the violent factions taking revenge... which I guess includes the Kurds and the Israelis, and for them to now discuss things about their future and what sort of future they want.

Celebrating a Russian defeat and gloating over the future of Syria was in poor taste and I am glad Russia is not leaving, but of course they might decide to leave anyway depending on how things turn out... I mean if they can't help and the place descends into a Libya type situation there is not a huge amount they could do to fix things.

Regarding Russia being able to defend its bases, in Vietnam the Americans had fire bases all over the place, which were attacked over and over... plenty were over run at various times despite having air power support and of course the fire support of nearby bases too... if they get enough bodies together and attack all at once there is not a huge amount even a very well armed and well trained force can do. If they are smarter and better armed then it just gets harder to defend against.

Obviously they would make them pay heavily... their new helicopters are vastly improved over what they had before... and their new glide bombs would be devastating too.

@Eugenio Argentina
amigo are you really satisfied reading all this fake news contrary to the reality from this Twitter pages??

Nobody knows what is going to happen for sure... sometimes the enemy propaganda you read gives you a good insight into what their goals are and what they want to achieve.

Sometimes it even tells you about their tactics which they know are evil so they blame Russia for doing it first so when it is revealed they did it in this case they can claim they only did it because the other side did it first... when there is no evidence the other side ever did such a thing.
