INTERNATIONAL MILITARY REVIEW – SYRIA-IRAQ BATTLESPACE, DEC. 29, 2015



Russian air strikes had destroyed 556 militant targets in 164 combat sorties conducted since December 25. Successfully hit targets were located in Aleppo, Idlib, Latakia, Hama, Homs, Damascus, Deir ez-Zor, and Raqqa provinces. The Russian air support helped the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) to stage offensives to the north and east of Latakia Province. Three significant plateaus towards Kabbani and Sirmaniyah fell into the army control.

Separately, the pro-government forces have continued successful advances in the province of Aleppo. The SAA liberated the village of Doudyan and destroyed militant outposts and supply routes in the villages of Tal Jebin, Tal Meseybeen, Shwehene, Maaret Artiq and Shimaeya. The SAA also took control of the village of Sharba.

On Dec. 27 the Iraqi Security Forces declared victory over ISIS militants in the city of Ramadi. The declaration comes after the Iraq forces encircled the city and seized the central administration complex. However, there are many pockets of militants still entrenched in various positions throughout the city. The Iraqi security forces will also have to spend significant time to clear out the remaining improvised explosive devices that infest the city.

Pentagon confirmed that militants were cleared from the government complex. But some US experts have already noted that the Ramadi’s strategic value is repeatedly overestimated. According to them, Ramadi is just one location in the contested Anbar province and the Iraqi army will face serious problems in attempts to clear nearby ISIS locations in Fallujah, Hit and areas west of Haditha. This rapidly reaction marks that Iraq made a serious step in war on ISIS. A series of such steps could increase the Iraqi security forces independence from the US-led coalition support what definitely isn’t a goal of the US political leadership.

Russian Air Defense System Shoots While It Scoots



Air defenses are often the only thing standing between enemy aircraft and their targets, but up til now, it's pretty relatively easy to destroy them. That's because even mobile air defenses typically must stop in order to shoot, making the job easier for aircraft dedicated to knocking them now.

Not anymore. Russia's Tor-M2U system is a 35-ton tracked armored vehicle with a crew of three. Equipped with a radar and up to eight missiles, Tor can can destroy enemy aircraft, drones, and unmanned aerial vehicles at ranges of up to 12 miles. And now Tor can also now engage targets on the move.

As the video below shows, Tor can now keep up with Russian ground forces on the offensive, protecting armored columns and headquarters from air attack. That also means that Tor may last just a little bit longer on the battlefield as it plays a game of cat and mouse with enemy air forces above.

What I love about Russia is that it has multi-layer battlefield air defenses. Everything from S-400 to Buk to Tor to Pantsir to Strela, so theoretically a complete system can cover all air defense threat ranges from as far as 250 miles away all the way to just 1000 yards away.

Meanwhile all I hear from US air defenses are Patriots and Stingers only.

Russia was under embargo. The French had no choice.

That's why the European eye US suspiciously. Had US not holding the European's balls in securities, they could have parted way long ago. And the US has been tightening heir grip on those balls.

Looking at the way things have been going with the wealthy Gulf states, you can conclude that money can buy you lots of hardware but not victory. The Saudis arm forces are generally not capable, and those exhibit a slightly better professionalism are usually hired guns (paki mainly).

INTERNATIONAL MILITARY REVIEW – SYRIA, DEC. 30, 2015



In the Dara’a province, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and the National Defense Forces (NDF) with the Russian Air Forces’ support are advancing in the town of Sheikh Miskeen clashing with the Free Syrian Army’s “Southern Front Brigades”. The pro-government sources report that the SAA took control of the Battalion 82 base and the hilltop of Tal Al-Hish overlooking the northern flank of the town. The clashes are continuing.

Sheikh Miskeen is located along the Quneitra-Sweida Highway and overlooks a way on the Al-Quneitra Governorate and the city of Nawa.

According to the field reports, the SAA liberated the town of Maheen, 25 kilometers from the vital M5 highway, and the town of Huwwarin after the heavy clashes with ISIS. The towns were taken by the terrorist group in late November. It is expected that the SAA will continue their offensive onto the town of Quryatayn.

The Syrian government has essentially avoided clashing with the Syrian Kurds which are a major part of the SDF. However, as the Kurdish forces and the Russian-backed government forces meet up, the question of developing joint strategy arises. Moreover, Ankara already concerned by the growing Kurdish clout on the border and definitely is preparing actions to stop the Kurds in their offensive actions. Such an action would also push the Syrian government and the SDF to coordinate their actions in fight against foreign-backed terrorists.

I just love those short to mid-range mobile ballistic missiles like Scud missile. I believe these types of missiles still have a battlefield utility, primarily as an alternative to the air force for long-range strikes. They're relatively cheaper and easier to maintain, hide and operate than air forces with fixed infrastructures.



Just like Yemen doesn't have a functional air force, but they still can strike back and terrorize the Saudis by their Scud missiles strikes, their limited effectiveness notwithstanding.
