USA/NATO droppar på löpande band avancerade vapen till allierade jihadister i Syrien (och Irak), så självklart har de även "humanitära hjälparbetare" i områden som styrs och kontrolleras av "moderata" "rebeller"
"The US-Special Forces entered the town then the "moderates" refused their help, gathered around their meeting location and some of them threatened to attack them, forcing them to leave the town."
Som sagt, man droppar inte vapen till ett värde av miljontals dollar och hoppas på det bästa bara sådär.
Bra inlägg med tydliga rörliga bilder och tydligt ljud. Sen ser man på etniciteten på vissa som åker förbi i bilarna att de inte är araber, afghaner, tjetjener eller liknande. Sen ser utrustningen för bra ut för att vara några randoms. Så ja, det finns inget tvivel längre för dem som tvivlat. Inte för att jag tvivlat. Inte efter Benghazi 2012.
The approximate chronology of the events that ultimately led to seizure of Palmyra (Tadmor) by the so-called "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" (ISIS) was described by an officer in Syrian Arab Army's Tiger Forces, a member of the group that was stationed in Palmyra, being the last unit to leave the city after its fall.
Officer's notes can be read below:
Tadmor. Saturday, December 10, 2016. 8:00 AM.
Repeatedly incoming Russian satellite images alerting about the upcoming ISIS assault. We receive an alert about ISIS terrorists gathering around city's perimeter. Air forces are busy striking ISIS at the oil fields to the north, not having enough time to react.
Al-Sawamea military object and surroundings (Grain Silos). Saturday, December 10, 2016. 10:00 AM.
The point is located 15 kilometers east of Tadmor on the Al-Sukhnah - Tadmor road.
City garrison:
- «Military shield forces» (military police volunteers), «Al-Badiyah forces» (internal security) consisting of several units - «Al-Saeemah», «Zenoubia», «Heart of Syria» and «Al-Sheikh Suleiman». About 1,800 fighters overall;
- Units from 11th and 18th tank divisions equipped with six 130mm and six 122mm artillery guns, 7 «Grad» MLRS (multiple launch rocket systems) and 12 tanks;
- «Liwa Al-Fatemeyoun» (Afghani Fatemeyoun Brigade) forces, with 1,200 fighters and lots of solid-looking military equipment;
- A unit of Tiger Forces, about 150 fighters, defending the weakest point southeast of the city.
So, 7 kilometers east of Grain Silos area, 2 ISIS cars and a tank moving through Al-Sukhnah road were spotted from the Jabal Tar hilltop where an observation post was located.
Air force commenced airstrikes destroying both automobiles. The tank kept moving. As it turned out, it was loaded with explosives - imagine a VBIED (vehicle borne improvised explosive device) of a 10-ton weight able to damage anything in a radius of 400 meters.
Due to unknown reasons, 18th Division's «Konkurs» anti-tank guided weapon (ATGW) crew was not able to destroy the tank. When it was in about 200 meters from defensive positions, the armoured vehicle was hit with an anti-tank grenade launcher.
This would cause massive explosion. Soldiers panicked and started to retreat from their positions. After that, everything calmed down, as terrorists were preparing to assault Jabal Tar mountain.
Without any serious reason, troops started abandoning their positions all over the frontline. Withdrawal of «Al-Fatemeyoun Brigade» provoked panic among the other city defenders, especially when the latter saw how quickly the Afghan fighters were retreating with all their heavy weapons and equipment. Note that they retreated westward leaving the city instead of staying inside.
They were followed by the «Military shield forces» and 18th division units. On the other hand, 11th division soldiers withdrew to Tadmor itself and established defensive positions along city's perimeter. Meanwhile, on the southeastern flank, only Colonel Sukheil's forces, airport defenders and Air Force Intelligence troops remained (total number of about 100 soldiers).
Colonel Sukheil's forces dispersed establishing temporary defensive positions on eastern and southeastern flanks.
Jabal Tar area. Saturday, December 10, 2016. 11:00 AM.
Jabal Tar mountaintop overlooks the city of Tadmor. Those who control it effectively control Tadmor and the road leading to the city. Usually, ISIS begin their assaults with suicide bomber attacks followed by direct close range firefights with the opposing party, in order to evade airstrikes. Tar mountain is a crucial link in city's defensive perimeter. To possess it means to possess initiative. The initial garrison defending the mountain consisted of 500 fighters from Tiger Forces. However, by this day, it was almost halved because a lot of soldiers left due to a 5-month delay of salary payment.
Also, there were 2 defensive positions of 18th division units at Jabal Antar mountain.
The attack on Jabal Tar began with terrorists firing heavy machineguns mounted on 4 pickup trucks. Those trucks covered movements of 2 battle tanks. In addition to that, ISIS shelled Army's positions with 130mm artillery guns and 120mm and 82mm mortars, as well as "hell cannons". Note that Jabal Tar did not have any anti tank weapons except for 2 tanks which were quickly destroyed with direct hits. Also, the defenders lost their 23mm and 14mm heavy machineguns.
Therefore, only infantry soldiers left on the mountaintop clashing with the enemy face-to-face.
Soldiers were able to destroy both ISIS tanks along with accompanying militants, in spite of their own losses. By 5:00 PM, the attack was finally repulsed. The Army lost some points, 18th division units withdrew towards T-4 Military Airport. Tiger Forces withstood the attack, despite sustaining losses (there was a lot of wounded, several martyrs and a few prisoners captured by ISIS). For everyone who keeps asking where the air forces were, I'll say: air forces are unable to support ground troops in such conditions [close-range combat], and thus their support was limited to striking terrorists' supply routes.
Tadmor. Saturday, December 10, 2016. 5:00 PM.
Russians blew up an ammo depot on their military base in Tadmor before abandoning it. Sky above the city turned into a firework festival causing panic among the civilians and military personnel stationed in the city. As a result, the city was completely evacuated.
Tadmor. Saturday, December 10, 2016. 6:00 PM.
The city is empty. No civilians, no military, except for a couple of units of Mukhabarat (State security) and police.
Head of «Al-Badiyah» security forces, along with several officers, would move back and forth in his luxury armoured "Cadillac" to prove the High Command that he did not abandon the city. At the same time, those 2,500 fighters of «Al-Badiyah» and «Military shield» were no longer in Tadmor, none of them were defending the city.
Only soldiers of the 11th division remained, along with their tanks.
We contacted our commander, reported the situation and requested immediate backup. Colonel Sukheil ordered to hold the positions and told us that reinforcements are coming.
Of all the other forces who were supposed to defend Tadmor - namely, 18th division, «Al-Badiyah forces», «Fatemeyoun brigade» - no one stayed, except for Major General Shawkat with his "Cadillac" and 10 officers, along with a pickup truck mounted with a heavy machinegun.
Tadmor. Saturday, December 10, 2016. 10:00 PM.
No reinforcements arrived.
Tadmor. Sunday, December 11, 2016. 0:00 AM.
Some 100 fighters of «Fatemeyoun brigade» and 70 soldiers of the 18th division returned to the city. 11th division never left, and we salute them for their courage and resilience.
With these forces combined, we managed to reinforce the eastern flank of defense, more or less. Some 40 soldiers positioned themselves along the Al-Sukhnah road.
Tadmor. Sunday, December 11, 2016. 1:00 AM.
An ISIS car bomb managed to sneak to 11th division's positions at Al-Sukhnah road. Tanks were damaged, several soldiers killed and wounded. The rest stayed at their positions, despite what just happened. We sent 60 soldiers to reinforce Al-Amariyah district and a hill of the same name which had been defenseless since morning. However, we left the 410 Warehouse area due to lack of manpower.
Tadmor. Sunday, December 11, 2016. 3:00 AM.
Commander contacted us to clarify the situation. We are thankful to Colonel for being in touch and not believing to the officials who lied about the real situation on the ground.
But the 410 Warehouse area was empty, and we were unable to secure that key point. Once again, lack of manpower.
Tadmor. Sunday, December 11, 2016. 9:00 AM.
ISIS began their attack striking simultaneously at Jabal Tar and in Al-Amariyah neighbourhood. During the night, a group of ISIS terrorists disguised as military infiltrated the neighbourhood, seized the Al-Amariyah hill and suddenly struck us from the rear. Another group of militants supported them from the 410 Warehouse area. Control over Al-Amariyah hill grants control over whole city. Sitting on top of it you can just shoot everything that moves in the streets.
Jabal Tar.
Meanwhile, 4 tanks and 3 pickup trucks mounted with heavy machineguns attacked the Army's positions at Tar mountain. Their defense was weakened due to cold weather and hunger. No reinforcements came, only false promises. Jabal Tar fell after all the garrison was martyred, wounded or captured as POW.
Tadmor. Sunday, December 11, 2016. 11.00 AM.
ISIS controls Al-Amariyah hill, with militants targeting anything that moves inside the city. Jabal Tar is under ISIS control.
The rest of our troops were forced to retreat to southern part of Tadmor and position at Tadmor's Triangle roundabout and in Tadmor Orchards.
All the military personnel withdrew to Hayyan Junction, except for about 200 soldiers of Tiger Forces with 2 tanks and machineguns, to cover the withdrawal of the rest. Also, we still had those luxury cars of "Al-Badiyah" officers who proved to High Command that they had stayed in the city - but unfortunately, without their troops. We positioned ourselves in between the orchards and Triangle roundabout.
Tadmor. Sunday, December 11, 2016. 2:00 PM.
We are surrounded by ISIS. Terrorists are in full control of the city and the highway. Nowhere to retreat. Thank God we still have the General and his officers with luxury cars, who finally contacted the High Command and called in 6 Mi-28 attack helicopters to cover our retreat through the orchards. They covered us from both left and right flanks. We managed to escape the encirclement.
During all these events two journalists, brother Eyad Al-Hussein and brother Omar Dirmama, stayed in touch with me taking notes and making a chronology of the events.
That's how Tadmor and the surroundings fell.
SAA's Tiger Forces officer. December 12, 2016.
Sammanfattningsvis kan man nästan tycka att med tanke på hur lätt man gav upp så var det lite synd att inte IS hann omringa staden(bortsett från de civila)då hade de verkligen fått kämpa ist för att springa så fort de smäller.

Enligt Assad så är det USAs fel att IS tog Palmyra det säger han via RT (pinsamt). Däremot bombade koalitionen Palmyra medan Putin slaktade civila i Aleppo.
Skulle vilja ha siffran på hur många IS fanatiker Ryssland och Assad bombat eftersom dom rör sig fritt i Syrien då Assad mest är intresserad av opponenter. Nåväl han kommer ställas till svars för krigsbrott så han får passa på att skicka lite propaganda medan han kan.
Regimen i Syrien värvar bland civila män mellan 18-50 år då man har kort med manskap. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C0HcMgNXUAAy2UZ.jpg
Det blir aldrig lugnt i Syrien så länge Assad sitter med makten. Givetvis med hjälp från Iran och Ryssland men ändå.

Assad och Ryssland är dom enda som strider för kristna i Syrien. Det är USA som slaktar kristna och hjälper IS och andra jihadistiska pack i Syrien. Kristna i Syrien är tacksamma för Rysk hjälp och spottar på USA Israel och Turkiet. Bara se på allt pack som Turkiet och USA har bidragit med till jihadisterna i Aleppo:
Citat:
DAMASCUS – According to two reports coming out of Aleppo today, at least 14 US Coalition military officers were captured this morning in an East Aleppo bunker by Syrian Special Forces. This story was quietly leaked by Voltaire.net, who announced, „The Security Council is sitting in private on Friday, December 16, 2016, at 17:00 GMT, while NATO officers were arrested this morning by the Syrian Special Forces in a bunker in East Aleppo.” Fares Shehabi MP, a prominent Syrian Parliamentarian and head of Aleppo’s Chamber of Commerce published the names of the Coalition officers on his Facebook page on the 15th December (emphasis added):
Mutaz Kanoğlu – Turkey
David Scott Winer – USA
David Shlomo Aram – Israel
Muhamad Tamimi – Qatar
Muhamad Ahmad Assabian – Saudi
Abd-el-Menham Fahd al Harij – Saudi
Islam Salam Ezzahran Al Hajlan – Saudi
Ahmed Ben Naoufel Al Darij – Saudi
Muhamad Hassan Al Sabihi – Saudi
Hamad Fahad Al Dousri – Saudi
Amjad Qassem Al Tiraoui – Jordan
Qassem Saad Al Shamry – Saudi
Ayman Qassem Al Thahalbi – Saudi
Mohamed Ech-Chafihi El Idrissi – Moroccan
In addition to Voltaire.net, the other original report was provided by Damascus-based Syrian journalist Said Hilal Alcharifi. According to Alcharifi, captured „NATO” officers were from a number of member states including the US, France, Germany and Turkey, as well as Israel. Here is his statement (translated from French): „Thanks to information received, Syrian authorities discovered the headquarters of high ranking western/NATO officers in the basement of an area in East Aleppo and have captured them alive. Some names have already been given to Syrian journalists, myself included. The nationalities are US, French, British, German, Israeli, Turkish, Saudi, Moroccan, Qatari etc. In light of their nationalities and their rank, I assure you that the Syrian government have a very important catch, which should enable them to direct negotiations with the countries that have tried to destroy them.”

Jag förstår inte varför folk tycker det är märkligt. Hade inte Sverige också kallat in alla sina reserver/återinfört värnplikt ifall vi varit i ett inbördeskrig och nationen nära på att kollapsa?

Ingen som sagt det är märkligt så länge det är frivilligt, men i typen av länder med det styret så är det en tidsfråga innan det blir tvång. Det är liksom det som är märkligt inget annat.

Fast du citerar en rysshatande dåre som inte bryr sig om saker som fakta, det är irrelevant för sådana galningar. Aleppo var fullt med expertis från USA Israel Turkiet Saudiarabien som hjälpte jihadisterna. Men detta är ovidkommande för rysshatande idioter.
Ingen som sagt det är märkligt så länge det är frivilligt, men i typen av länder med det styret så är det en tidsfråga innan det blir tvång. Det är liksom det som är märkligt inget annat.
Det som är märkligt hur någon kan skriva uppenbar lögn som du gör om Ryssland i Syrien medan du struntar i fakta om USAs hjälp till jihadisterna.

Nja, efter dina PM om mig som västerländskt drägg, så får du väl ta att dina åsikter kanske är en aningen malplacerade då det gäller just mina värderingar. Demokrati, yttrandefrihet och pressfrihet kanske är främmande ord för dig, men så ser jag på saken. Slakt av civila och utrotning av sitt eget folk ser jag som ett krigsbrott som också Assad kommer ställas till svars för.
När det gäller Ryssland har USA i dag sanktionerat deras agerande gällande Krim och det gäller sju ryska affärsmän, åtta företag och statsägda bolag. Så kan det se ut också istället för att leka krig och gasa ihjäl opponenter. Allt är i AQ i Syrien om dom nu lyckats inbilla dig detta.

USAs sanktioner mot Ryssland är betydelselösa. Du är för slakten av kristna i Syrien som USA hjälper jihadisterna med. Är man för USA i Syrien kan man inte vara något annat än värsta krigsförbrytare. Ni rysshatande dårar har länge sagt att Assad kommer falla snart och Aleppo var jihadisternas högnäste som Ryssland besegrade. Du ignorerar dom tillfångatagna amerikanska medhjälparna till jihadisterna som jag länkade. Fakta är ovidkommande för dig. Räcker med att se vad kristna säger om vem som hjälper dom i Syrien:
