Jaish al-Fateh in trouble as SAA cuts rebel supply line to Aleppo



Yesterday, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), with the support of various Shia paramilitaries groups like Hezbollah, successfully captured the strategic town of Khan Touman and the village of Qarasi in southern Aleppo in a region which has witnessed defiant rebel resistance for years.

This afternoon, the Syrian Arab Army ensued on a blitzkrieg-like offensive and rapidly advanced west of Khan Touman, thereby capturing Kalidiyah village and several hundred meters along the M5-Highway. These areas have been rebel-held since the summer of 2012; thus, insurgents were unable to set up defensive positions in sufficient time to prevent the government offensive and were effectively completely overpowered. Strategically, this renders the M5-Highway, which crosses through Idlib governorate to Aleppo city, utterly useless for Islamist rebels loyal to the Jaish al-Fateh coalition.

Momentarily, the front line has evened out; however, government troops have made steady regional advances in the past two months largely due to Russian Airstrikes and elite Shi’a reinforcements pouring in from Lebanon, Iraq and Iran. Nevertheless, this Syrian Army offensive has come at a heavy cost as Jaish al-Fateh rebels have put the US-supplied TOW-missile to effective use against government vehicles in the area causing many to be destroyed.

The SAA is currently attempting to relieve the pressure on Aleppo city while pushing towards the government-enclave and Shi’a towns of Fuah and Kafrhaya near Idlib city. Furthermore, this maneuver does seem to approach Nubl and al-Zahraa from the south. Despite a seemingly illogical offensive route, one cannot rule out the possibility of the Syrian Army launching an all-out attack from this direction towards the predominately Shi’a towns of Nubl and al-Zahraa.

INTERNATIONAL MILITARY REVIEW – SYRIA, DEC. 21, 2015



The Russian Aerospace Defense Forces are continuing to conduct airstrikes destroying terrorists in Syria. According to the Ministry of Defense of Russia, warplanes conduct about 60 sorties per day targeting positions of ISIS, al Nusra and other terrorist groups in the Aleppo, Homs, Deir ez-Zor, Latakia, Damascus, Hama, Idlib, Raqqa, Hasakah provinces.

The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and allies have been pushing terrorists from the crucial regions of the country, step by step. In East Aleppo, the pro-government forces have broken the ISIS militants’ counterattack in Narsallah and captured Najara and al-Jaberia. Dozens militants have been killed. In South Aleppo, Jaish al-Fatah terrorist alliance lost about 60 militants in clashes against the Syrian forces in recent days.

On Dec. 20, the SAA’s 4th Mechanized Division and Hezbollah captured the strategic town of Khan Touman and its surrounding farms from the militants of Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham and Al-Nusra. Prior to capturing the town, the Syrian forces seized the imperative village of Al-Qarassi after a series of firefights with Faylaq Al-Sham, Jabhat Al-Nusra, Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham, and Harakat Nouriddeen Al-Zinki. The Russia-made T-90 battle tanks played a crucial role during battles in the region, as its protective armor and durability made it difficult for the enemy combatants to halt their advance. US-supplied TOW missile systems can’t inflict enough damage to T-90.

In North Latakia, the pro-government forces are advancing to take control of the border with Turkey. The movement there are complicated by a mountainous terrain and a high number of supplies providing by Turkey to the terrorists.

The city of Homs is almost controlled by the Syrian government. Week ago, militants has started to move from the city. However, the province’s northern part is controlled by ISIS and Al Nusra. The clashes are going there. The heavy clashes without any success for any side also continuing around Palmyra. The Eastern Ghouta and area along the Damascus-Homs highway are a center of the clashes around Damascus despite the army’s successes in the area. The town of Marj al Sultan and the Marj al Sultan airport were liberated by the government forces last week.

According to the SAA’s reports, since the start of the Russian military operations in Syria, the government forces have taken control of about 60 towns, villages and other infrastructure objects. Meanwhile, the US is building its first airbase in Syria. It is supposed to be located in the northern Kurdish region. Thus, the US and NATO will continue to participate in the Syrian conflict and will apparently rise their military presence in the region in the nearest future. Thus, they show that the West isn’t interested in any political solution which respects the interests of the Syrian people and their legitimate government.

Rm17bil ain't much.
Majority of it went into operating expenditures like wages, training, fuel and so on.
Sgpv and av8 also eats up huge portion of its.
I won't be surprise they request for more money next year.

12 variants for the AV8 is too much in my opinion. Why the need for 12 variants? Even the new British Scout-SV if i'm not mistaken only have 6 variants.

RIP. Condolences to the family.

i was hope using A400M .... anyway still thanks

I dun agree developing and buy 12 variants at the same time as well.
Should have go for 3 variants at a time and buying it in number.

America's Newest Warship, the USS Ralph Johnson, Sets Sail



So while just one Zumwalt sails the ocean America's naval fleet—unlike the Russian one—continues to grow. The above timelapse shows the latest warship to join the fleet, the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer the USS Ralph Johnson. The video shows final three days of work before the ship was set into the water—the Johnson won't officially be christened until 2016.

The USS Ralph Johnson (named after a Vietnam-era Marine who saved two comrades by jumping on top of a grenade) is the 30th active-duty Arleigh Burke-class missile destroyer to built by Huntington Ingalls Industries, by far the largest manufacturer of U.S. Naval vessels. Since the commission of the first Arleigh Burke-class destroyer (named, appropriate, the USS Arleigh Burke) in 1991, there have been 61 of the destroyers built.

The Arleigh Brooke program was on the way out, as the Navy prepared to transition to using the stealthy and futuristic Zumwalt-class destroyer. Budget cuts and internecine bureaucratic infighting radically reduced the size of Zulwalt program, and the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer has stepped in to take over. So while just one Zumwalt sails the ocean, there are 62 (soon to be 63) Arleigh Burke-class destroyers out there.

How about MPSS, Training and Hydrographic Survey Vessels. Unless he means 5 surface combat vessels classes.

I don't get why these aggressor squadrons still use 50-year old fighters. Some very popular aggressor planes like F-5, A-4 Skyhawk and Dassault Mirage are way too old to emulate enemy fighters in these 'top gun' schools.

if not mistaken 'flying characteristic'.
