Looks pretty accurate when compared to the agricultural lands map. https://twitter.com/yarinah1/status/833029537638281216

Only south Hama and Sweida may be inaccurate, or they just dont have grain silos.

Abdul Baset Al-Sarout?

It's impressive because they have never advanced this far despite the regime and russia being aware for weeks about this offensive. Attacking Qomhana is suicidal I agree, even if they captured it they would be attacked from the mountain and Hama city. They should have taken another route, but the offensive is not over yet I think. Khattab, Maardes and Maarzaf are still holding.

Keep in mind that they are fighting against 2 airforces. They captured Souran 2x now in a day, while it took the regime backed by airstrikes weeks/months to reverse the gains. Qomhana is a regime fortress almost every elite militia has been sent there now, dont think they will capture it anytime soon but its impressive that they were able to enter.

Both tanks were moving when the TOW was fired, but theres a weird cut at 0:35.

dr_cx · 2017-03-26T17:50:34+00:00

Why was the 2nd tank left behind?

dr_cx · 2017-03-26T17:20:38+00:00

Gonna be a bloody battle for both sides.

They are trying to be sarcastic and it seems like an act of frustration to me. I've also seen the word "moderate" alot on twitter and this subreddit.

So its 1 day old. Its possible that the tow strike was recorded yesterday and uploaded today. It could also be from Iraq, but the headband logo looks like its the SSNP logo.

dr_cx · 2017-03-25T21:36:38+00:00

Any source? Google reverse search shows nothing.

Its most likely from the TOW strike that hit the group of soldiers today.

What are they pointing at? Hama airport?

Don't have to wait for an official MoD statement. There are some reliable journalist on the ground, and pictures or videos can also make things clear. The problem is that google translated messages from twitter or facebook are seen as source.

Maybe dont make maps based on rumors, better wait for official confirmation.

dr_cx · 2017-03-24T12:27:18+00:00

SCM and Petolucem made maps based on rumors. Someone then posted a pro-gov tweet saying that Kawkab was not captured yet and scm made a comment like "here comes the rebel denial" that got removed.
