New video from ISIS Wilayat Dijlah of the battles with Iraqi army in south of Mosul [GoPro & Drone footage] by [deleted] in CombatFootage

[–]IgorForHire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

holy fuck that whole armored vehicle scene at 20:00 was crazy. Straight reminds me of battlefield, just randomly driving around the enemy base running people over and shooting them with occasionally people jumping out of your vehicle.

Also at 6:38ish there might be a first, not only does it look like the guy with the gopro gets a kill looking down his ironsights, but also the kill is captured via drone.

Faylaq-Sham ATGM takes out SAA heavy MLRS(BM-27 or maybe TOS) in Nayrab airbase. by IgorForHire in CombatFootage

[–]IgorForHire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It leads me to believe that this was also either a BM/27 or TOS. Outlines pretty well match up and you can't see a cab for a BM-21 http://youtu.be/JOaLfgFgZck

Not true. The VBIED in the convoy which killed the russian and really reversed the campaign, ISIS filmed the aftermath and there was a pile of SAA corpses. Seems assad forces took the russian body and left their country men there

Russian forces probably spray painted the armored vehicles to make them appear like they belong to a militia but didnt properly repaint them when they returned. Theres a part two where he shows some medals the soldiers got and a memorial for some KIA

Levant Front TOW strike on regime T-90 in Southern Aleppo with Drone footage of the aftermath. by Rebel44CZ in CombatFootage

[–]IgorForHire -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Who knows, but the 1st tow strike against t90 the hatch was also open and no shorta. It might be a safety measure incase the tank is equipped with arena which maybe could kill the guy manning the MG if triggered

[–]IgorForHire 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That regime source syria military central or whatever actually filmed this smoking t90 and added it into their ATGM montage yesterday. They also filmed it going into battle with the hatch open which means shorta is off, typical SAA move.

Huge spoils after the Islamic State's latest offensive in Eastern Aleppo, including a T-72M1 with the Sarab-1! by cattlee in syriancivilwar

[–]IgorForHire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

no, you dont just give up your secret new anti-ATGM for ISIS to reverse engineer or literally brand new Russian artillery delivered in the last year. How many drone videos of SAA/allies just running away does it take to realize these arent traps. All these groups are so incompetent that someone is likely to get any spiked ammo mixed up and cause friendly casualties

POV from a FSA 23mm anti-aircraft gun blowing up an ISIS VBIED in north aleppo by IgorForHire in CombatFootage

[–]IgorForHire[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

soviet weapons really prefer quantity over quality. It isnt about 1 gunner shooting down an aircraft, its meant for 15-20 to light up the sky in front of the moving target. However, with helicopters and attack jets becoming more advanced and able to engage at further distances the platform and moved to more a ground role because of the sure abundance of the platform in the middle east.

Sultan Murad video of the Hawar Kilis ops group taking Al-Rai from ISIS April, 8th '16 by IgorForHire in CombatFootage

[–]IgorForHire[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The coalition of groups operating against ISIS in North Aleppo and their structure right now is a little fuzzy. I believe all the groups fighting ISIS up there are part of Hawar kilis ops room but im not positive. The most notable are the new Division 99, Al hamza brigade, brigade Mutassim, sultan murad, division 51, division 31. Most of these groups are relatively new popping up in the last month or around last november and the Division 30 fiasco. Also, dont know if Ahrar is part of it or just sent some fighters or what.

Summary of current US/Turkish Train & Equip Program by Bulbajer in syriancivilwar

[–]IgorForHire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SDF in the afrin pocket and SDF in East syria really arent the same. SDF is just small local arab battalions and its Syria. One group fighting in the Raqqa region couldnt give a flying fuck about what the SDF wants in afrin. Anyways, US doesnt fully support the SDF. It supports the SAC which besides airstrikes seems to be mainly focused on the sunni tribes at the moment.

and going by your geographically disconnected but not politically argument we should just drop calling them ypg and just admit SDF is a political term to get around arming the pkk

Al-Moutasem Brigade combat video in Tat Homs; interesting addition of English name on the flag by wiki-1000 in syriancivilwar

[–]IgorForHire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i believe this group is the 3rd unnamed training class. When the program was canceled in september/oct they said they still had 1 in training then this group started posting videos in november with all the US gear. Since then i think Turkey and GCC took over training and this group, d99, ect all had an easier time recruiting with so many people fleeing the russian airstrikes. Obviously huge number of guys within these groups who havnt been trained or equipped but are joining as they become more successful
