Hezbollah to Send Forces to Fight ISIL in Iraq



Following the battle over Tikrit, Tehran reportedly turned to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah to send in trained fighters to take on the Islamic State in Mosul.

An unnamed source told al-Jadeed that Nasrallah agreed to send 800 men from elite units to participate in the anticipated battle.

The lightly armed fighters will be enter Iraq within the next two weeks. Once there, Iran will equip them with heavy weapons.

The chosen Hezbollah fighters are expected to be stationed in the northern Iraqi city of Samarra and will draft plans for the attack on Mosul.

The Iranians are already running an operations center in Samarra led by Qassem Soleimani, Commander of Iran's Quds Force.

Tehran apparently wants to lead the battle against ISIL and see Hezbollah fighting the Islamists as a means to deter US forces from engaging in ground activity for the liberation of Mosul.

PH military to buy three new Spanish transport planes



MANILA, Philippines — The Philippines will buy three new transport planes from Spain to strengthen its poorly equipped military in handling external threats and natural disasters, the military spokesman said Sunday.

The first of the three C295 planes will be delivered this month in a deal costing a total of P5.29 billion ($119 million), said Brigadier General Joselito Kakilala.

“One will be delivered by the end of this month… for HADR (humanitarian assistance and disaster relief), military transport and other (uses),” he said.

The C295 is a twin-turboprop aircraft capable of carrying up to nine tonnes or 71 soldiers, using short, unprepared airstrips according to the website of the manufacturer, the Airbus Defence and Space arm.

The Philippines, which has one of the region’s weakest militaries, has been trying to modernize its armed forces amid growing tensions with China over disputed territory in the South China Sea.

Last year it signed an agreement to buy 12 South Korean-made FA-50 jets for about $421.12 million.

The country also suffers from frequent national disasters.

Disasters such as super-typhoon Haiyan, which killed more than 7,350 people and ravaged an area as big as Portugal in November 2013, have frequently required the mass transport of relief goods and personnel to different parts of the archipelago.

Not so durable tho. Torso part made of thin polyester to absorb sweat, not much diff from polyester t-shirt, so its easy for the fabric to start to pill and tear from all the rubbing against a hard tactical vest after a short while.
