It really sucks when you are strolling around with your militia buddies and someone decides to fire an ATGM right to your face. Hama countryside.
Russian airstrikes on the new Syrian army appear to have happened. It is a group fighting IS in southern Syria near the Jordanian border.
New Syrian Army should change name to New Sunni Army , since naming convention should ideally be an accurate representation of the group.Yeah the new syrian army is moderate and u.s backed.
Reports are the ruskies struck them once and the u.s called them off....onlybfor the vodka air force to strike again!
Wouldnt that mean the saa would now have to drop the sa part?New Syrian Army should change name to New Sunni Army , since naming convention should ideally be an accurate representation of the group.

Still its a hellva escalation from the russkies , a force engaged in anti isis combat ridiculously far from any regime forces and with f18s scrambled and ignored as well as requests to pull back on open frequency ..seems the russians want to discredit u.s backing as worthless
Maybe if they added an extra a for afghan ud be rightWhy would the SAA drop the SA?
The SAA is Syrian
The SAA is the official Army of the government of Syria
Syria is overwhelmingly Arab
The Shia Afghans are a minor portion ; whereas the Sunni element if the New Syrian Army is the defining feature.Maybe if they added an extra a for afghan ud be right
Well ISIS lost the majority of Fallujah today and the SDF has now entered Manbij nearly reaching the center, ISIS is getting fucked up during Ramadan this year.
They usually weld steel plates on those VIED for extra protection. It's nearly impossible to disable them with small arms fire. Even .50 has trouble getting through those inch thick plates sometimes. They had a tank there, but tt's difficult for older Soviet tanks to hit moving targets due to crappy fire control.^^^^ That's battlefield 2 tactics....It's amazing how he got so close without being killed long before hand on that open space.
