  1. This probably shows the desperation in the jihadi rebels in Syria that they're using tanks as SVBIEDS
  2. I wouldn't be surprised if the Russians and Americans struck a deal about ensuring YPG gains, at least in the short run. Russians in Afrin and Americans in Eastern Rojava are a good deterrent towards Turkish aggression, if they aren't just being used as a staging ground for attacks around Idlib and Raqqa.
  3. Russian troops in YPG-controlled Afrin
  4. Wikipedia also has a quote from an old British novelist, Frank Thomas Bullen, on these eels Here's a video of it "boring" itself into a carcass
  5. TIL about the 1741 New York Conspiracy in which ~100 African slaves and poor whites were killed after theories arose that they were behind some fires meant to be arson attacks that would overthrow the New York government. It also kinda started on March 18th.
  6. Meanwhile the Saudis copy the Nazi inflate your kills by killing civilians strategy: Likely Saudi Ah-64 rips apart boat full of Somali refugees trying to flee Yemen to Sudan \I'm trying to imagine how bad Yemen must suck if you have to flee to Sudan of all places.
  7. US airstrike hits mosque in Aleppo It remains to be seen if they actually killed any jihadis or if they just killed dozens of civilians. Also its strange that this was in Aleppo instead of in Idlib province where the majority of US strikes against non-ISIS targets are done.
  8. What's up with the handprints on the barrel? Seeing how this is based off the T-90 and not the M47 Patton or FV101, I can see the Iranians wanting to actually produce this in limited numbers. Maybe they'd give them to an IRGC armored unit to parade around in, kinda like the Zulfiqar.
  9. You aren't the only one who thinks this. Maybe the Norks think this too.
  10. I'm reading we have 3,000 US marines outside Raqqa. Looks like the Kurdish SDF is going to try to take Raqqa with their support.
  11. During the Iran-Iraq War, Iranian pilots were distrusted by the theocrats in Tehran as most of them were holdovers from the Shah's reign and Iranian fighter aces were never recognized during the war and many were jailed after the war for various reasons. Often Tomcat and Phantom kills were credited towards IRGC anti-air units which the regime wanted to promote. Iraq had no aces in its air force(it had a couple of 4-kill pilots), but Iraqi pilots were like most pilots/tankers/snipers/etc and greatly exaggerated their exploits for propaganda purposes towards the Iraqi populace and towards the international community to show Iraq doesn't suck as much as it actually did.
  12. Iranian-backed PMUs are threatening Turkish-backed KDP peshmerga units in Iraq
  13. Sessions in 2014 on Russia for context on his views on them. Doesn't seem to be the guy to worry about colluding with them in some nefarious scheme.
  14. Better keep it this time
  15. ISIS suicide VBIEDs with painted armor to make them blend in better with civilian vehicles
  16. If Turkey's performance in Syria up to this point is any indication of their capabilities, they are going to get smacked by the SDF and I also am seeing reports that they are clashing with the SAA around Manbij too.
  17. Really looks promising that the Iraqis are pushing into Mosul, SAA is retaking Palmyra and Al bab, and the YPG/SDF putting pressure onto Raqqa itself. Hoepfully nobody(looking at Turkey) fucks everything up.
