Iraqi Fighter who fights against ISIS in Syria, holding an Iranian made Sayyad-2 sniper rifle.
This is in North Aleppo, he fights rebels, not ISIS.
You should also mention that the Sayyad-2 is not Iranian designed at all, it's a copy of the HS .50.
FSA is step one to the road of becoming a cannibalistic Daesh monstrosity
There R no moderate rebels left they have either escaped to Europe or have been executed by Daesh.
So , no sympathy for anyone who wants to commit genocide against Syrians based on their faith and ethnicity
Funny how a "counter-terrorism expert" doesn't know jack shit about the situation on the ground but pretends like he knows.
You have again proven to be as intelligent as a donkey on this issue. See your way out of this thread.
Jaish al Islam releases an hour long video about preparations for the operation in September 2015 (pre-Russian bombing) on cutting the Damascus/Homs road:
Summary: - JAI cut Damascus/Homs highway
- JAI found a *huge* underground complex which all branches of military intelligence operated in, and found lots of information about the hierarchy and structure of intelligence.
- JAI was able to take the hills but lost them after 45 days, they still hold most of the territory gained.
- JAI launched offensives on 3 separate areas: Tall Kurdi (feint attack, designed to draw backup to Tall Kurdi (which is still JAI-held) and the Adra Women's prison complex (regime held)), Dahiyat al Assad (offensive failed as regime was informed of it prior, regime pulled forces from Zabadani in order to reinforce Dahiyat al Assad), and the mountains, offensive was successful, however a regime counteroffensive was able to regain the mountaintops, albeit not any of the ground below. Highway still cut.
- Rebels: captured 2 Gvozdikas, captured and destroyed multiple tanks and Shilkas, and captured ATGMs (lots of Konkurs, Milan, and some Red-arrow (HJ-8)), & lots of ammunition from depots.
- Regime made ~223 attempts to storm the mountains, and eventually succeeded (high number of attempts due ot huge underground complex)
- Regime lost 770 troops, of them 70 were captured.
- 55 tanks & armored vehicles were destroyed
- 115 utility vehicles were destroyed
- 45 HMGs & MMGs were destroyed (Rebels classify 23mm as "HMG" and 14.5mm as "MMG")
- 6 Gvozdikas were destroyed, as well as some towed artillery
Part about the underground complex starts at 36:50.
