Iraq's war against IS terrorism | Updates and Discussions

[Saho]

I read somewhere around 27k + soldiers from Kurds to the Iraqi army (+ coalition air support) vs 1000 - 2000 IS fighters in Kirkuk.

If they fail to retake Kirkuk in 7 days then its official that they will never beat IS or retake anywhere under IS. Numbers prove nothing.

Saudi wahhabi aid to ISIS caught red handed by Kurds :

Takrit :

The Operation has started with initial success :

دور، العوجه، العلم و الحمره (dour , alouja , alelm and alhamra) areas have been freed and are now in Iraqi control again .



Fajr-1 Rocket barrage fired upon Takfiri a$$es in Takrit:

"ابو عزرائيل" abu-izraeel an Iraqi fighter Wiping daeshi scum out :

you're mixing tikrit with kerkuk. when the iraqi army fled from Kirkuk Kurds took over and have protected and defended it ever since. Kurds are not part of the tikrit offensive.

Minus coalition air support, the coalition isn't giving any air support in Tikrit.

you still got your iranian drones, your own helicopters, jets etc. personally the fact that shias will sacrfice their lives for a sunni arab city shows how much you value your people. unless shias plans to control all the sunni arab areas with an iron fist for an enternity.

They aren't using those helicopters for such operations anymore as IS have brought too many manpads from Syria, the helicopters are being used to secure airports & bases etc. The drones available are for recon not attack.

Sunnis are taking part in the offensive operations. Why are you complaining anyway about who takes part in this operation. Without US air support they would have taken Arbil already, air support is a massive thing. Tikrit is like Kobani/Ayn al Arab. Tell us what would have happened in that city without US air support ? that's right.

No iron fist either, that's why they will create the national guard.

 

[Alshawi1234]

Looks very similar to Vulcano rockets used in Syria. They are basically 122mm rockets with a much larger warhead. Also, Iranian (Safir?) jeeps makes an appearance.

Yes plenty of Iranian Safir jeeps for artillery and canons. They are small, mobile, inexpensive and they do the job. They ones with cannons are currently used in the same manner as tanks and doing the same job.

@Al-Kurdi

1 wrong thing the people in the south have done is blindly use religion to motivate people heading to the front without any training, this has resulted in many casualties of young untrained people. Anyone sent to the front should be trained well and hard as well.

Yeah, sorry I mean Tikrit.

Some articles said it but ok, thanks for the clarification. U.S.-led coalition launches air strikes on Islamic State targets in Iraq, Syria| Reuters

you think every coaltion aircraft's purpose is bombing and attacking?

just like most things is failed and have failed in iraq, unless it's being built by koreans , the national guard thingy probably won't work out as planned.

how many sunnis take part on the attack, a couple thousand? Yes, indeed without US air support and Iran's support they would have taken over Baghdad aswell, as truth is IS was much clsoer to Baghdad than they ever were to Hewler.

It's a battle of revenge for the Tikrit air acadamy massacre. The time of allowing terrorists to operate under the "national reconciliation" is over.

Besides, unless you want them to keep attacking relentlessly you have to get rid of their strongholds.

The peshmerga didn't go for hawijah, did the attacks stop?, no and they won't.

The PMF has enough manpower, equipment and the will to take over these areas, there is no reason we shouldn't. Besides if we don't and decide to just split and protect our territoy, that will just give them time to prepare assaults.

hasn't it always been like that? Iran-Iraq war, iranians sending hundred thousands of youth with barely any training blindly followed by religion into their deaths after the ayatollah told them to and then sistani did the same. but yes I agree, some Peshmergas may have been to war for tens of years but would have learnt more just during some basic training by coalition forces.

And you look so frustrated.

I want to see what your kurds going to do when the pmf and the army seize kerkook soon after tikreet.

The coalition give direct and live support for the peshmerga front lines, a luxury the ISF don't get, the PMF don't get any support at all.

As for baghdad falling, it's a 7 million population with close to 5 million shias. That's like the entire KRG population. So it wouldnt have fell regardless.

But Iranian assistant and the call for arms by Sistani have been a major reason of why IS has been pushed back.

you're right in that aspect, but wouldn't it be more wiser to use much more sunnis instead to complete the mission. but if it's a revenge mission then sure.
personally, I would want Peshmerga to take over hawijah, mosul for good and if I had the command I would order them to even if thosuands would die. But if kurds won't govern those areas later on, then what's teh point of sacrificing your lives for it? in that way the threats from mosul and hawijah would have been dealt with for enternity.

No.. when did I say that.

But that is the primary role of the coalition air force, to bomb and attack. You have recon aircraft, tanker and AWACS as well operational but what does this have to do with the subject. A-10's, fighter jets make a big difference, B-1 bombers were used in Syria as well.

just like most things is failed and have failed in iraq, unless it's being built by koreans , the national guard thingy probably won't work out as planned.

Basically a larger version of the sahwat under military command which worked out until funding was stopped somewhere around 2011.

A couple thousand is good given the circumstances and limited movement they have, they've taken much action in Anbar but it resulted in a massacre by IS, they can't do much with IS terrorists above them, you forget they are unorganized. They're not an organized force to suddenly start an offensive.. and if they try to organize it won't remain a secret, massacres will occur. What would you do ? Probably type on a forum like you're doing now.
