Syrian conflict.

ISIS conducted chemical attack on Asria (Itria), SAA general Hasan Saado was killed. He was head of 10th division HQ.

 

Any idea where they're getting chemical weapons?

Southfront appears to think that Hezbollah and IRGC get TOS-1 and T-90.

Any idea where they're getting chemical weapons?

Their chem weapons are pretty simple, i heard that they used chlorine. At least moderates used similar chemicals in their gas tanks-projectiles for Hell Cannons when they shelled Sheikh-Maqsood (Kurd) district of Aleppo.

Al-Mukowama is light infantry, they barrely have some technicals and several SAA-given AFVs like BMP-1 (photo of which i posted long time ago in this thread or in Syrian tanks topic).

"Sophisticated" T-90S, lol. Also, their video footage at 1:52 shows Iraqi T-72s. At 1:59 - no comments. Although i agree about personal and vehicles being abandoned (and not destroyed) even after not serious damage.

So, chemical attacks in a technical sense, but not likely to be particularly devastating.

As some people expected - SAA and NDF can't hold nearly flat desert for too long. I was expecting them to get to Tabqa and hold there

Those daeshbags are pretty shameless, rolling in columns. And nobody bombs them.

I wanted it to hold and I expected it to be difficult to do, but to fall this quick? Wow I didn't expect that at all.

Uh oh.

   It appears that during push to Tabqa, deployed forces numbers was almost 2-3 times lower than during Palmira operation. And that push lacked helicopter CAS, which was helpfull during Palmyra and Qaratyan liberation. It is possible that Syrians and our commanders were gambling with that push, they probably thought that ISIS was very busy with Manbij.

Oryx Blog is going to make an article about failed Tabqa push.

 

Our article on Tabqa might turn out to be the largest I've ever written.

   Several terrorists attacks in Jordan is past 2-3 days, one of which was carried out using Jordan-supplied 4x4s (photos i posted several months ago in this thread). This whole region is slowly getting hot.

Massive jihadist offensive in northern Latakia ends in complete failure

 

 

 

  The Turkmen Islamic Party, backed by Jabhat Al-Nusra (Syrian Al-Qaeda group), launched a massive offensive in the northern Latakia countryside on Monday that targeted Jabal Al-Akrad and Jabal Turkmen near the Turkish border. 

 

   However, this jihadist offensive started off on a sour note after the Russian Air Force struck the Turkmen Islamic Party’s convoy en route to the imperative hilltop of Tal Abu Al-‘Ali. Following the Russian airstrikes, the jihadist rebels stormed the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) positions at Tal Abu Al-‘Ali, Tal Al-Qal’at, Hakoura, Nakhsaba, and Tal Risha. 

 

   Despite claims made by social media activists from the Syrian opposition, the jihadist rebels did not make any significant gains on Monday; instead, they ended up retreating towards the Turkish border after failing to advance. 

 

   According to a military source in the Latakia Governorate, a large number of jihadist rebels were killed during the battle, including several foreigners of Uyghur descent. The entire Latakia front is now quiet after the massive retreat by the jihadist rebels on Monday night.
