Russian MOD Believes Turkey Planning Invasion of Syria

[goldenequity]

Interesting how the basic SAA infantry has almost no gear except for their guns. Damn thats hardcore. Seems most of them dont have helmets or kevlar vests. Maybe they have some flak jackets at least...

yeh... hardcore is right.. (check out the Afghan Taliban in 'snow' sneakers below )
==============
some updates..

AFGHANISTAN:

►Taliban in #Afghanistan's Kunduz province. Could attack the provincial capital any day now. Another #US victory...

===================

SAUDI TROOPS:

Saudi’s decision to send troops in Syria ‘final’

Saudi Arabia Makes "Final" Decision To Send Troops To Syria As US, Russia Spar Over Aleppo Strikes (dumb, dumber)

Iran Holds Nothing Back: Saudi Troops: "It's A Weird Suicide Mission That Will Have A Very Dark End"

IRAQ: Breaking: Kata'ib #Hezbollah forces on their way to the border to face any #Saudi incursion into #Iraq.

=================

TRUCE (not)

AFP news: BREAKING Leaders agree to 'full cessation of hostilities' in Syria within 1 week: Kerry
AP: Kerry: Diplomats agree to implement "cessation of hostilities" in #Syria, aim to start in a week's time.
Syrian "cessation of hostilities" would not apply to jihadist groups Islamic State or al-Nusra Front.
BBC Hegemon spin...
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-35556783

meh... same ol same ol:

At the news conference Mr Kerry again suggested that Russian strikes were targeting what the West sees as moderate opposition forces, rather than terrorists, as Moscow says.

British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said the cessation would only work if Russia halted its raids, although Mr Lavrov said they would continue.

Like I said above... hegemons want to 'freeze conflict' & balkanize BOTH Syria & Iraq...
Assad/Russia know what's up... blood & treasure ISN'T going to be wasted...
Syrian Kurds will be rewarded/Sunnis will be thwarted.

ISIS HOLDS EASTERN SYRIA: The Race To Raqqa Is On - To Keep Its Unity Syria Must Win / Hegemons want a 'Sunnistan'
Great analysis The Race To Raqqa

The 'Hidden' Brigade the 'Secret' Airbase...

The U.S. move towards east-Syria is still in preparation.

The first U.S. plan was to use the Syrian-Kurdish YPG forces of north-east Syria.
These forces would have attacked Raqqa from the north.

The U.S. is coming up with a new plan.
There are only sketches visible so far and the following is just somewhat informed speculation.

The U.S. has extended the runway of the agricultural Rumeilan/Abu Hajar airfield in the Kurdish held area in north east Syria
just 100 miles (160 kilometers) from ISIS frontline positions and some of its lucrative oil fields
to be able to supply larger operations in the wider area
The runway is being nearly doubled in length from about 2,300 feet to 4,330 feet (700 to 1,320 meters) -- long enough, say, to receive C130 transport planes.

Some U.S. special operation forces are said to already operate from there.
This is the vanguard on a reconnaissance mission.

It was publicly disclosed that one brigade of the U.S. 101st Airborne Division would go to Iraq
to train, advise and assist the Iraqi forces for an attack on Mosul.
Some 1,800 soldiers from the 101st’s Headquarters and its 2nd Brigade Combat Team will deploy.

But Col. Pat Lang was told that two brigades of the 101st would deploy:

MORE
(Saudi Troops? Far from 'suicidal' move... while the right hand has everyone focused on Jordan border...
the left hand just might be air lifting a deploy of forces in NW Iraq to 'take and hold'
positions in E. Syria like Raqqa and Deir Ezzor!)

►Dire HINTS at 'things to come' (quickly now)
(besides the KSA 'declaration' to deploy ground troops...)
we have on this Friday:
►Syria's Assad vows to retake whole country, says could take "long time"- interview with AFP
►Syrian President Assad said he does not rule out a Saudi or Turkish ground assault, noting that negotiations won't push his forces to "stop fighting terrorism." (that's 'code' for ANYONE who opposes Syrian Govt forces).

►Davutolu FM “Wait for the next few days and you will have the answer,” daily Hürriyet reported on Friday.

Interesting how the Saudi's are going to be sending in troops when the RUSSIANS/SAA ARE WINNING. lol. Turks seem antsy to send in troops too.

Sooner or later some Saudi and Turkish troops are going to get killed and they will blame the Russians. Then the Saudi and Turks (with help of US) will set up no fly zones that extends 20-30 miles into Syria.

Deir Ezzor The 'Story' of Deir Ezzor

Deir Ezzor is a Syrian Military base and resort city on the banks of the Euphrates in EASTERN Syria.
Isolated. It has been surrounded by ISIS for months.
RUaf has been airstriking the terrorists continuously.
A 'pocket' of Loyalists have stayed alive and have kept fighting the headchopper PROXIES.
The HEGEMONS want it 'conquered' by ISIS. They have 'plans' for 'Eastern' Syria.

Completely surrounded but unvanquished for months on end.
Food/Supplies & Ammunition has only and can ONLY be air dropped.
But the recent victories by Iranian guard forces in Homs hold a PROMISE...
that help is on the way.​

►4th time this week that the terrorist group has attempted to advance at the Deir Ezzor Military Airport front in the western part of the province.

For posterity.

But I thought Zippy said the Russians are liars and Turkey isn't going to invade Syria? I guess it proves again that Zippy really doesn't know shit...
