Syrian Army captures Beit Fares village in northern Latakia  The Syrian Arab Army’s 103rd Brigade of the Republican Guard – in coordination with the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP), the National Defense Forces (NDF) of Latakia City, and the Syrian Resistance – made several advances on Tuesday in the Latakia Governorate’s northern countryside after repelling the Islamist rebel offensive this past weekend in Jabal Al-Turkmen (Turkmen Mountains). On Tuesday morning, the Syrian Arab Army’s 103rd Brigade and their allies imposed full control over two villages at the southern rim of the Turkmen Mountains after a violent battle with Islamist rebels from Jabhat Al-Nusra (Syrian Al-Qaeda group) and the Free Syrian Army (FSA) – the villages were identified as Qassab and Burj Al-Qassab. Not long after capturing the aforementioned villages, the Syrian Arab Army’s 103rd Brigade and their allies struck the Islamist rebels of Jabhat Al-Nusra and the Free Syrian Army again; this time at the nearby village of Beit Fares, which is situated directly west of Qassab and east of Jabal Al-Zweik (Al-Zweik Mountains). Following the initial assault, the Syrian Arab Army’s 103rd Brigade and their allies (specifically the Syrian Social Nationalist Party) were able to impose full control over Beit Fares village, killing over 20 enemy combatants and seizing several assault rifles from the Islamist rebels. http://www.almasdarnews.com/article/syrian...rthern-latakia/ |

New Video Reveals Evolving Flight Operations Off China's Carrier Liaoning  QUOTE The number of aircraft based on the carrier and the number of daily flights had both increased, while “many” pilots had qualified to operate the Shenyang QUOTE China’s showcasing of a more mature aircraft carrier capability comes as claims have emerged that at least one new Chinese carrier is in production today. What is known is that China seeks a multi-carrier fleet in the 2020s QUOTE If China moves to CATOBAR format carriers it would drastically improve their combat effectiveness. The CATOBAR concept, like America’s carriers, allows for increased sortie rates and much heavier weapons carrying capabilities for fighter aircraft. QUOTE They will also need an aircraft capable accommodating catapult takeoffs. This could possibly come in the form of a navalized J-31. http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/new-video...inas-1749955396 |

India’s Emerging Indian Ocean Strategy  QUOTE The new publication focuses attention on India’s maritime imperatives in its near littorals, giving credence to reports that the Indian Navy is preparing to expand its sphere of operations in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). QUOTE New Delhi’s concern for its maritime neighborhood seems well-founded. Recent developments have given India’s security managers good reason to be worried about the growing threats in the IOR. QUOTE Maritime crime has been increasing, with a record number of drug hauls in the Asian littoral in the last two years (a recent seizure of more than 150 kg of heroin from a smuggling vessel by an Australian warship off the east coast of Africa, serving as the latest reminder of the severity of the drug threat in the IOR). http://thediplomat.com/2015/12/indias-emer...ocean-strategy/ |

I helped create ISIS’: Iraq War veteran says US policy caused 'blowback' in Middle East QUOTE “When I was stationed in Iraq with the 1st Battalion, 7th Marines, 2003-2005, I didn’t know what the repercussions of the war would be, but I knew there would be a reckoning,” he wrote at TeleSUR. “That retribution, otherwise known as blowback, is currently being experienced around the world (Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, France, Tunisia, California, and so on), with no end in sight.” QUOTE I saw my fellow Marines kill innocent people, torture innocent civilians, destroying property, mutilating dead bodies, running over dead corpses, laughing and photographing people while doing so,” he said. “For me it was very simple. I sat there in Iraq and I asked myself ‘How would I behave?’ ‘What would I think if I was in the shoes of the Iraqi people?’” QUOTE “I vividly remember the marines telling me about punching, slapping, kicking, elbowing, kneeing and head-butting Iraqis. I remember the tales of sexual torture; forcing Iraqi men to perform sexual acts on each other while marines held knives against their testicles, sometimes sodomizing them with batons,” wrote Emanuele. QUOTE “I knew what I was seeing was wrong, I knew it was immoral, I knew it was unjust, I knew it was illegal,” said Emanuele to RT, “and I knew that we would pay severe consequences in the form of the blowback as we are seeing with groups like ISIS. I knew those things were going to happen back then just from being a self-conscious person.” https://www.rt.com/usa/327404-usa-helped-create-isis-marine/ |

Stunning Pics of the Navy Salvaging a Sunken F/A-18   QUOTE According to reports, the Super Hornet had just taken been catapulted from the Roosevelt when something prompted the crew to eject. A diver attached to the salvage operation stated that there was a problem on takeoff with one of the engines. The jet settled in 189 feet of water. The U.S. Navy's picture feed of the salvage operation shows about about half of the plane missing, including the cockpit. The rear landing gear was also down. The Navy will be looking at the engines to determine what caused the accident and prevent ones like it in the future. http://www.popularmechanics.com/military/w...he-arabian-sea/ |

DARPA's Building a New Drone That Turns Small Ships Into an Aircraft Carriers  QUOTE DARPA’s unveiling a program called Tern—a collaboration between the agency and the US Navy’s Office of Naval Research. DARPA just awarded Phase III funding to a team led by Northrop Grumman QUOTE The new design for Phase III should look a little something like this: two propellers on a flying-wing UAV’s nose would lift it from the ship’s deck like a chopper but then propel it horizontally like a plane. The drones would be fit inside the ship when they’re not being used for sea-skimming missions. QUOTE the engineers want to make a drone that could take off and land in cramped, bumpy quarters and can fly for a long period of time. http://gizmodo.com/darpas-building-a-new-d...into-1750180010 |

Former separatists in Indonesia's Aceh surrender   QUOTE More than 100 former separatist fighters in Indonesia's Aceh province who had hid out in the jungle and allegedly committed serious crimes have surrendered, an official said Tuesday. The fighters, led by notorious ex-combatant Nurdin bin Ismail, were a splinter faction of the Free Aceh Movement (GAM), which fought for years against Jakarta's rule before striking a peace deal in return for an autonomy offer in 2005. QUOTE While supporters painted Ismail as a "Robin Hood" figure who used stolen funds to help those neglected by the authorities, critics said he led an armed group allegedly responsible for crimes including the kidnap and killing of military personnel. On Monday Ismail and about 120 of his men handed themselves in and surrendered 15 guns and ammunition to the authorities. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/artic...-surrender.html |

MARINES' ROBOT MULE IS TOO LOUD FOR WAR  QUOTE The robot is built by the Alphabet-owned Boston Dynamics. It was developed for DARPA under the name LS3, or “Legged Squad Support System”, and it can climb hills, carry weight, and follow humans into battle. It just can’t do it quietly. Rather than aiding Marines in battle, that noise turns the mechanical mule into a dead (and deadly) giveaway. QUOTE For a military that wants to dramatically increase its robotic soldiers by 2030, this is a setback, but not an insurmountable one. Next time the military asks for a legged squad support system, it should make sure it asks for a legged silent squad support system. http://www.popsci.com/marine-robot-mule-too-loud-for-war |
