QUOTE(MilitaryMadness @ Dec 4 2015, 07:44 AM) Iraq will not welcome foreign troops into its territory, considers any presence to be 'hostile' this sort of arrogant attitude that gets the parasites like isis and daesh full control of the north western sector of iraq until its too late ![]() Iraq considers any country sending ground combat forces into its territory a "hostile act" and has not requested such a deployment, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said Thursday. The US has announced that it will deploy around 100 special forces personnel to Iraq to fight the Islamic State jihadist group here and in neighbouring Syria, while two American senators have proposed tripling the number of US troops in the country. Iraq "will consider any country sending ground combat forces a hostile act and will deal with it on this basis," Abadi said in a statement. Baghdad "did not request any side... to send ground forces to Iraq," he said. It is Abadi's strongest statement yet on the issue of ground combat forces, after he previously said that Iraq did not need them. It was unclear how or if his remarks would impact the planned US deployment, part of efforts to combat IS, which overran large parts of Iraq last year. The presence of American ground forces is a contentious issue in Iraq, where the United States fought a nearly nine-year war, and it is politically expedient for Abadi to distance himself from the deployment. |

Army grounds some aircraft to review helicopter crashes
![]() QUOTE The U.S. Army on Thursday grounded aircraft for active duty aviators at 11 posts across the country following a series of deadly crashes in recent weeks. According to a release from the U.S. Army Forces Command, the order "will permit Army aviation leaders specific time to review Army aviation-training procedures and helicopter-safety precautions to manage risk, and to avoid accidental loss of aviation personnel and equipment." Gen. Robert B. Abrams said in the release that the "decision to ground our aircraft today is taken with the utmost seriousness and my responsibility as the Commander of U.S. Army Forces Command." "I have a duty to ensure that we are doing all that we can to prevent loss of life and aviation accidents," Gen. Abrams said, "and that is why we're standing down to review our procedures and reaffirm our commitment to operating our aircraft safely and effectively. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the soldiers who died recently in these accidents." There has been a string of fatal helicopter crashes during training missions over the last few weeks. [sos] This post has been edited by KYPMbangi: Dec 5 2015, 03:18 AM |

‘Incursion’: Baghdad demands Turkey withdraw ‘training’ troops from northern Iraq ![]() QUOTE The Iraqi government has demanded that Ankara withdraw the more than 100 Turkish forces that entered Iraq with tanks and artillery for alleged “training” of troops near Islamic State-occupied Mosul. Baghdad stressed the unsanctioned move was a breach of its sovereignty. The Iraqi foreign ministry said in a statement early on Saturday that the Turkish troops were acting in violation of the country’s sovereignty and demanded the forces withdraw immediately. “Around one regiment armoured with tanks and artillery” has entered the northern Nineveh area, according to the statement from the Iraqi Prime Minister’s media office. https://www.rt.com/news/324787-turkish-troops-deployed-iraq/ |

TURKEY INVADED SYRIA, CAPTURED TAL ZIYAB ![]() The Turkish army has built foritications at Tal Ziyab to defend the supply route which ISIS uses for smuggling the Syrian oil from the ISIS-controlled city of Raqqa to Turkey. The Turkish army invaded the Syrian territory and took control of the hill Tal Ziyab. Troops crossed the border accompanied by bulldozers. After occupying the high ground (50 meters), the Turkish force built fortifications. Also, 3 battle tanks, 2 armored infantry fighting vehicles and several SUVs were deployed there. Considering the location of Tal Ziyab, Turkey wants to cover the smuggling route of the Syrian oil which is taken out of the ISIS-controlled Raqqa. “It is a challenge to the sovereignty of Syria from the point of view of international law, and we encourage the Syrian government to protest against the international courts at the official level, – Lifenews cites one of the locals. – In the past, support for the terrorists conducted in secret, but now it is official action of the Turkish army, which requires a formal protest to the United Nations “. It seems that Ankara has decided to act much more aggresively after the Ministry of Defense of Russia were released pictures and videos of oil delivery convoys at the border between Syria and Turkey. We remember, on Nov. 24, the Turkish Air Force shot down Russian Su-24 in Syria. Discussing the incident Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that the Su-24 was shot down by Turkey to protect oil deliveries of the ISIS terrorist group. http://southfront.org/turkey-invaded-syria...ured-tal-ziyab/ |

Shoulder-Fired Surface-To-Air Missiles Spotted Aboard Russian Navy Ship In Turkish Strait ![]() QUOTE The ship shown in the photo is the Caesar Kunikov (BDK-64), one of the Black Sea Fleet’s Ropucha class landing ships. These vessels have been supporting Russia’s mission in Syria, moving troops, material and vehicles from Russia’s Black Sea ports to their dedicated port in Tartus, Syria. As to why they would be pulling out man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) during the transit by Istanbul is a total mystery. Sure the rhetoric has been hot between Russia and Turkey, but it is not as if Turkey would sink a Russian ship, especially one that it was escorting through its waters under the terms of the Montreux Convention. QUOTE Russia is no stranger to applying MANPADS to military operations. They learned the hard way just how effective these weapons can be during their decade-long war in Afghanistan, where US-made Stingers brought down many Russian aircraft, turning the tide of the war. Twenty-five years later, the use of such weapons was the bane of the Ukrainian Air Force during the height of the fighting in eastern Ukraine. In the end they claimed many Ukrainian aircraft and aircrews. Maybe this show of force had something to do with the small fleet of NATO ships that are currently at anchor in Istanbul’s harbor. The destroyer USS Ross, along with three other NATO surface combatants, are said to entering the Black Sea soon. Combined, this will be the largest NATO force to enter the closed-in body of water since Russia’s invasion of Crimea almost two years ago. http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/shoulder-...rd-r-1746282521 |

The U.S. Navy Is Slowly Realizing It May Have to Sink Ships Again in the Future ![]() QUOTE The biggest concern is China, which has made modernizing air and naval forces the number one defense priority. The People's Liberation Army Navy now totals more than 300 ships of all types, and China's shipyards are continously cranking out new aircraft carriers, destroyers, frigates, corvettes, submarines, and amphibious vessels. The U.S. Navy is now, belatedly, studying ways to spread anti-ship firepower across the fleet. One answer is to give existing missiles the ability to attack surface vessels—the SM-6 air defense missile, now entering the fleet, is gaining the ability to engage ships. The SM-6 is the latest iteration of the venerable Standard air defense missile that has armed Navy ships for decades. SM-6 is capable of engaging aircraft, ballistic missile, and even cruise missiles, and is even capable of being provided targeting information by E-2D Hawkeyes under the Navy's combat networking system. Almost all U.S. Navy combat ships will carry the SM-6. SM-6 fits in vertical launch silos on all destroyers and cruisers, and most of these ships have a hundred or more silos. The older Harpoon system had to be carried externally in canister launchers, limiting the number of missiles that could carried. The SM-6's biggest drawback as a ship-killer? It doesn't have a very large warhead, making it more of a ship-damager. In the 1980s, the U.S. Navy struck a small Iranian patrol boat with five SM-1 missiles, an earlier version of the SM-6, and still failed to sink it. http://www.popularmechanics.com/military/w...-in-the-future/ |

Death by explosive necklace, rocket launcher, or obliterated at sea: ISIS release a series of sickening execution videos from war-torn Yemen filmed in just 24 hours ![]() QUOTE ISIS has released a series of depraved execution videos from Yemen whose ongoing sectarian war has allowed the terror group to spread its tentacles into the country. Four videos show Houthi rebels, who are battling both the government and al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), being executed in different sickening scenarios in a desert location. Six men were blown up by a rocket launcher, another six were put on a boat which was sent out to sea and exploded, four were obliterated by the mortar shells hung around their necks and nine were beheaded with sharp daggers. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-33...torn-Yemen.html |

Turkey is deploying troops near ISIS’s most important city ![]() QUOTE Turkey is deploying over 100 military personnel in Iraq’s Mosul region in order to help train anti-ISIS fighters, Reuters reports citing a Turkish security force. “Turkish soldiers have reached the Mosul Bashiqa region. They are there as part of routine training exercises. One battalion has crossed into the region,” the source told Reuters. However, the source refused to disclose how many Turkish soldiers are ultimately being deployed into Iraq. According to security sources who spoke to CNN Turk, 130 troops are entering into the Mosul region to provide training to the Kurdish Peshmerga. The deployment of fresh Turkish soldiers into the Mosul region to train Peshmerga follows e training regiment for the Kurdish forces that was already in place. A Peshmerga spokesman told Reuters on November 22 that Turkish soldiers had begun training the Kurds three weeks earlier in various locations throughout northern Iraq. http://www.businessinsider.my/turkey-is-de...DhWF5WfPSDId.97 |

INTERNATIONAL MILITARY REVIEW – SYRIA-IRAQ BATTLESPACE, DEC. 4, 2015 On Thursday, the Syrian Arab Army and its allies have resumed large-scale military operations against terrorists in the provinces of Damascus, Quneitra, Aleppo, Homs and Latakia. The pro-government sources’ reports said large groups of terrorists have been killed and injured in the clashes. While such terrorists’ loses are hardly confirmed, it’s clear that the pro-government forces are intensifying its activity at the battlefield. The recent reports confirm that vast areas of the North of Marj al-Sultan village in Damascus were liberated by the Syrian Arab Army from the control of jnad al-Sham Islamic Union and al-Nusra. The clashes in the area are continuing. Separately, the SAA is advancing towards Harasta al-Qantara and Noulah in the South of the Eastern Ghouta. The Syrian government has deployed large reinforcements of the SAA’s 4th Mechanized Division and Hezbollah to the Southern Aleppo. Supported by the earlier arrived T-90 Tanks, these forces will play a lead role in the pro-government offensive in the area aimed to capture the strategic ICARDA agricultural facility which is located along the Aleppo-Damascus Highway. If seized, the militants will have their primary supply line cut. On Friday morning, the Syrian forces struck back against the militants of Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham and Harakat Nouriddeen Al-Zinki, capturing the small villages of Tal Al-Baraqa, Tal Dadeen, Tal Ja’eera and Tal ‘Arba’een. Commander of Iraq’s popular forces complain that the US is hindering the start of final phase of the operation to free Ramadi, from ISIS control. “The US bargains and pressures on the Baghdad government have prevented accomplishment of Ramadi liberation operation,” Abu Yousef al-Khazali, a commander of Seyed al-Shohada battalion, told FNA on Thursday. According to him, the Washington concerns about a high role of popular forces in anti-ISIS operations in Iraq because it increases their influence in the country. http://southfront.org/international-milita...ace-dec-4-2015/ |

Here’s How U.S. Special Forces Could Destroy Islamic State ![]() QUOTE According to Carter, the soldiers will “conduct raids, free hostages, gather intelligence and capture ISIL leaders” and “conduct unilateral operations into Syria.” QUOTE “Stop every truck, destroy outposts, knock down communications,” he explains. “Get ISIS to believe that when the night falls, they don’t own their borders anymore. They only own the cities.” QUOTE Then the joint special operations task force should dig in. “Take 150 special forces … and fly them out to the middle of the eastern Syrian desert. Create a combat operations outpost for a day or two and at night you go out and destroy everything.” QUOTE “I would create a pan-Arab joint special operations task group of 2,000 men,” he explains. “I would give them some high capacity Ford F-350s with heavy machine guns … and we would start marauding over eastern Syria and northwestern Iraq.” QUOTE “In 72 hours the entire narrative of ISIS as an Islamic Caliphate would be crushed,” he says. “What they would be is a series of cities that are hold-up, and they can’t go on the highway because real ground forces are destroying, sniping, land mining everything.” http://warisboring.com/articles/heres-how-...-islamic-state/ |

How US firefighters could harness the power of military drones ![]() QUOTE The Stalker Extended Endurance (XE) and K-MAX drones could reinforce firefighters and potentially reduce the risk to the lives of first responders. Last year alone, there were a staggering 1,298,000 fires reported in the U.S., resulting in more than 3,275 civilian deaths and 15,775 injuries. Both Stalker and K-MAX are designed to be cutting-edge military tech, but they also have great potential for civilians to help reduce the loss of life and life-changing injuries suffered every year. How do the drone duo fight fires? Basically, Stalker XE is the boss and K-MAX does the heavy lifting. Stalker XE is a small surveillance drone and K-MAX is a large resupply helicopter one. Together, they can fight fires all by themselves. Stalker finds the fire and directs K-MAX to drop water at exactly the right location to put it out. They’re both unmanned systems, or drones. Stalker uses its state-of-the-art military tech to flag and precisely locate a fire. The drone then communicates with the much bigger K-MAX, which is loaded up with water. http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2015/12/03/how...ary-drones.html |

Syrian Army Seize Over 60 Square KM of Territory in Northeastern Latakia ![]() Over the last 2 months in the Latakia Governorate’s northeastern countryside, the Syrian Arab Army’s 103rd Brigade of the Republican Guard has done a complete 180 after a series of defeats at the hands of Jaysh Al-Fateh (Army of Conquest) in the Idlib Governorate and the Al-Ghaab Plains of the Hama Governorate. Perhaps their most important gains have come in an area that was considered relatively untouchable for the last three years: the Syrian Armed Forces have powered through the Islamist rebel defenses in the well-defended Kurdish Mountains (Jabal Al-Akrad), advancing 8 km north of the strategic mountaintop at Jubb Al-Ahmar, which is situated along the border of the Idlib Governorate. Recently, the Syrian Arab Army’s 103rd Brigade – in coordination with the National Defense Forces (NDF) of Qurdaha, the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP), and Muqawama Souri (Syrian Resistance) – have imposed control over several hilltop villages in Jabal Al-Akrad after a series of intense firefights with the Islamist rebels of Jabhat Al-Nusra (Syrian Al-Qaeda group), the Free Syrian Army’s “Liwaa Suqour Al-Ghaab”, and Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham. As a result of these large gains in northeastern Latakia, the Syrian Arab Army’s 103rd Brigade and their allies have now captured over 60 square kilometers of territory from the Islamist rebels, including a big chunk of the Idlib Governorate’s border that collapsed during the Jaysh Al-Fateh offensive in the Al-Ghaab Plains. The Syrian Armed Forces are not finished with this massive offensive in northern Latakia; instead, they still plan to push north towards the Turkish border, where they hope to cutoff one of the Islamist rebels main supply lines. http://www.almasdarnews.com/article/syrian...astern-latakia/ |
