How many Leo's and how many Sabras do we have in Syria? The number of Leo's outnumber the number of Sabras. Of course more will be hit and damaged, and yes no one denies the fact that the M60T Sabra has better armour than the Leopard 2A4, but the Leopard 2A4 is not as bad as you claim it to be.
people have been claiming we have lost Bzaah, jets bombarding Bzaah atm. Firefights in the town.
It is not my claim, it is an analysis from different sources I quoted.
Nobody can say Turkey lost territory in Syria, it is right to say there are sometimes tactical withdrawal of FSA who is the main manpower there.
After El-BAB , as President Erdogan said M4 could be the line between SAA and FSA. Turkey could move towards Menbic. I hope that YPG will withdraw from Menbic. They need SDF forces in Rakka. Rakka will be a fierce battle, cause it is the last hope DAESH terrorists.
Let's wait and see, there are also some critical developments in Aegean and East Mediterranean.

M1117 Guardian Armored Security Vehicle
The US has for the first time supplied Guardian M117 armored vehicles to the Syrian Arab Coalition (SAC), a grouping of anti-Assad and Anti-ISIS forces, Voice of America reported quoting a spokesman for U.S. Central Command.
The SAC is an Arab fighting force within the multi-ethnic, but predominantly Kurdish, Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
The Guardians are highly maneuverable and capable of carrying 10 soldiers each - will help SAC forces better “withstand explosive devices and small-arms fire," VOA further quoted a US Army spokesperson.
“The Syrian Arab Coalition is getting ready to continue their operations to isolate Raqqa," the spokesperson said. "As they approach the city and get into tough fighting, this capability is going to increase their survivability."
Each Guardian is equipped with machine guns and a grenade launcher.
Multiple U.S. defense officials said the delivery had “been in the works for months” and was carried out under authority granted during the Obama administration.
“There is no change to current policy by providing support to the Syrian Arab coalition,” Meyer said.
Washington has supplied the SDF with light weapons and special-forces advisers in the past and has provided air support against Islamic State fighters.
An estimated 20,000 SDF fighters are connected to the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG), which Turkey considers a terrorist group. Even though the U.S. insists it only delivers military aid to the Arab fighters of the SDF, the assistance nonetheless has angered U.S. ally Turkey.
