Syrian Army Quietly Approaches the Daraa-Jordan Border-Crossing



For the last two months, the Syrian Arab Army’s 5th Armored Division (specifically, the 15th Brigade and the 82nd Battalion) and the National Defense Forces (NDF) have quietly been advancing inside the provincial capital of the Dara’a Governorate, capturing several building blocks every week from the Free Syrian Army’s “Southern Front Brigades” and Jabhat Al-Nusra (Syrian Al-Qaeda group).

With this structured advance taking place inside the provincial capital of the Dara’a Governorate, the Syrian Arab Army’s 5th Armored Division and the National Defense Forces of Dara’a City are currently en route to the Dara’a-Jordan border-crossing that has been under the control of opposition since 2013.

Surprisingly underreported by both sides, the Syrian Arab Army’s 5th Division is now within a few hundred meters of the Jordanian border-crossing in southwest Dara’a; if captured, the Syrian Armed Forces will have effectively cutoff the Islamist rebels main supply route from the Jordanian cities of ‘Irbid and Mafraq.

Earlier this week, the Islamist rebels from the Free Syrian Army attempted to capture the imperative town of Judaydah in northwestern Dara’a; however, this attempt to alleviate the pressure on Dara’a City failed, as the attack was repelled after the Southern Front Brigades sustained heavy casualties and the destruction of their heavy armory.

It is only a matter of time before the Syrian Armed Forces capture the Dara’a-Jordan border-crossing; furthermore, this raises the question about their future presence inside the provincial capital’s southern sector.

RUSSIA TO SUPPORT KURDS WITH MONEY AND EQUIPMENT



It’s widely known that Turkey supports a diverse range of the extremist movements in Russia and in Central Asia. Especially roughly, that strategy was used during both Chechen wars when servicemen of the Turkish special services coordinated and supported the terrorists in the Russian North Caucasus.

After the Su-24 incident in Syria, Turkey intensified contacts with extremists in Russia and its neighbouring states.

SouthFront: Analysis & Intelligence has information that, in turn, Russia has started to support the Kurdish national movement in Turkey.

The situation in Turkey remains critical. Political and national dissidents amid the deep economical crisis tear the country apart. Moreover, Ankara’s actions against the Kurds which are 30% of the Turkish population have already escalated the situation to an open military conflict inside the country.

If the tendency remains, the partition of Turkey could become possible in the nearest future. The Russian support of the Kurdish movements in Turkey and the Kurdish enclaves in Syria and Iraq which border with Turkey are a strong argument for this possibility.

TUSCOR LLOYDS TRANSPORTS REFUELING TANKER



UK freight forwarder and shipping agent Tuscor Lloyds has delivered an out-of-gauge tactical refueling tanker from Stafford in the north of England to Penang, Malaysia.

The military vehicle was shipped to the Malaysian Armed Forces and required a special license to be carried. The cargo weighed a total of 23 tons and to transport it the project team at Tuscor Lloyds had to split the tank and truck into separate sections.

Each part of the cargo was then loaded onto individual 40-foot flat rack containers, which were driven, escorted by members of the British Armed Forces, to the port of Felixstowe.

Once at the port, the cargo was loaded aboard a ship using a heavy-lift crane, ready for the 38-day trip to the port of Pennag.

The transportation and loading process was fully managed and supervised by Tuscor Lloyd’s project team, led by Martyn Blackburn. The tactical refueling tanker will be used in military operations to supply fuel in battlefield scenarios.

“Logistics for the military sector can be difficult, but thanks to the experienced project cargo handlers at Tuscor Lloyds and the military/port side personnel assisting throughout, the tactical refueling tanker arrived in Malaysia within the scheduled time and budget for the shipment,” a spokesperson for Tuscor Lloyds said.

You have a good point on this volatile situation because Putin's astro forces doesn't seem to be much bombing the kurds that opposes Assad. Instead, concentrating more on the "Moderate terrorists FSA, Al Nusra & their affiliates". It seems, Putin's real objective is to secure the borders of Turkey & Jordan so that ISIS will be cut off from their logistical support. Finally, the kurds with the help of Putin will end the scurge of ISIS. Of course, Turkey will never let this scenario pan out.

The Best is Yet to Come: Russian Tanks to Become ‘Invisible’, Grenade-Proof



The Mantle, developed by the Institute of Steel, which is part of the Tractor Factories Concern, consists of a screen with dynamic protection elements, which is placed 50 millimeters to 1,500 millimeters ahead of the protected object, Novosti VPK defense website reported.

When hit by an antitank grenade the screen’s low-density surface prevents it from blowing up with its discreet protective elements destroying the grenade fuse’s electrical circuit.

Simultaneously, the Mantle partially destroys the grenade’s cumulative element. As a result, when hitting the tank’s main armor, the grenade either fails to explode or its armor-piercing ability is significantly undermined.

As to the Mantle’s stealth capability, it makes tanks and infantry fighting vehicles six times less visible to enemy radar and three times less detectible in the infrared spectrum.

The Mantle is installed and uninstalled in a matter of just a few minutes and requires no additional training.

Even by toppling Endrogan will not change the new Turkish government of any idea of "Kurdistan" plus the Iranian & iraqis Government will go against it. However, the israelis might consider "Kurdistan" a good idea because it will create a huge wedge between the Arabs,Turks & Iranians.
