Battle for Aleppo 05.08.2016 – Colonel Cassad

1. By August 5, it became quite obvious that the plan of attack militants completely failed and any operational problems they could not solve. Key CAA defense units withstood intense pressure from militants and remained inaccessible, resulting in a need to move away from wedging between militants Academy “Al-Assad” and an artillery base, as well as in the area of ​​the quarter Ramuseh. All declared “the mother of all battles phase” have passed, but deblokady not happened and the battle is gradually turned into a positional phase, where the value of the benefits of CAA-related superiority in artillery, armored vehicles and aircraft, as well as in the defensive nature of action – will increase.

Currently, the CAA and Shiite militias have been active in the defense, pursing positions of militants in 1070 and building to the west of Hamadani quarter. Artillery base Ramuseh quarter and cement plants provide control over the vulnerable sections of the route passing through the supply Ramuseh here CAA takes tough defense, providing artillery and aircraft still in preparation DPS storming insurgents.

In the south, fighting in Huvayza and north-east of Khan Tuman and Al Carasso (particularly in Amiriyah) also did not lead to serious progress militants and more than that, the assault group “Al-Nusra” suffered significant losses.

In the Aleppo continues exit process from civilian gunmen while that specific trends for delivery do not show, but this is understandable, since even a glimmer of hope that the corridor is broken in Aleppo. In case of a complete failure of the onset of the “green”, we can expect a serious moral and psychological breaking at least on the part of the militants in Aleppo. While they both fight off attacks the CAA and the Kurds in the northern districts of the city and try to poddavlivat near the cement plant and to the east of the artillery base, but because of the lack of heavy weapons, this activity is relatively easily docked. Today, “Al-Nusra” has announced the renewal of “phase 3″ and a new attempt to take an artillery base, so that is the plan of Aleppo deblokady militants have not given up, and there is still a lot of fights.

2. By August 5 per militants left the south-western part of the building 1070, Hikma school and small towns to the south-west of Ramuseh quarter, with most of these achievements belongs to August 1st. Over the last 4 days have been particularly successful fighters there, except for the fleeting opportunity to fire intermittently along the southern supply route passing through Ramuseh. Of course, it is to meet the militants can not, therefore, have been going less meaningful and more chaotic Aleppo attack from both inside and outside, are now reduced to exhausting battles on the outskirts of the quarter Ramuseh, on the outskirts of the cement plant and in the artillery base. Just fuss continues in 1070. By building surrounded by militants in Aleppo deblocking group is now separated from the 2 to 3 kilometers. The shortest way – it breaks through the quarter Ramuseh, but as shown by the previous fighting, Shiite militias and infantry “Hezbally” were more than prepared for street fighting and repelled the onslaught of storm troopers “Al-Nusra” and “Ahrar al-Sham”. Attacks to the south of the city near Amiriyah and Huvayza hardly something to be able to help in a city surrounded by the militants.

3. RF FSI and Syrian Air Force continued to apply intense airstrikes both forward positions of militants and their rear transport and logistics infrastructure, resulting in increased number of air strikes in the western province of Idlib to Aleppo from stretch reinforcements and supply columns. Apply a variety of munitions, including cluster, it led to a very substantial loss of militants in manpower in the offensive zone, especially where they were unable to get close to the line of defense CAA and our aircraft have the opportunity to cover the assault groups of fighters without any risk to work on their own. In all the losses are still very blurry – the militants since the beginning of the onset of total turns anywhere from 350 to 480 killed and wounded more than 1000-1200. At the CAA and the Shiite militia killed about 200-250 and 600-700 wounded.

4. Eloquent hysteria in the West demonstrates that the expectations of a number of countries associated with the onset of militants in Aleppo were not justified. Approximately 2-3 days they waited, hoping that the “green” will be able to unlock the Aleppo and fed propaganda broadcasts of militants near the success and the “the breakthrough”. Once it became clear that Assad & Co. survived a powerful blow, the course went diplomatic leverage – Russia and Assad began to accuse the organization of a humanitarian catastrophe, closed their eyes to the strange history of using gas in Aleppo, began offering “joint operations against the Caliphate” as long as Russia has stopped the active support of Assad in the battle for Aleppo. Yesterday, these concerns have already officially expressed the State Department and the White House. And it is understandable why the US is in a hurry – in positional battles translation phase does not promise to “green” anything good, so they are trying to organize a break, during which they will be able to regroup and prepare for a new attempt to relieve the city. It should also be noted the growing unspoken sorrow in Ukraine, where the sick “for green” waiting “Peremohy” over the “Muscovites”, but at the exit looms next zrada.

5. In general, the course of the battle slowly but surely takes place in favor of Assad, the defense in the south stood the militants suffered heavy losses in men and material, as well as spent ammunition for heavy weapons mass (in Aleppo this trend is even more pronounced). Part of the “moderate” insurgents demoralized unsuccessful course of the battle, suffered heavy losses and the commanders of the insurgents are increasingly possible to observe signs of inconsistency in the actions of the various militias. Of course, due to the high level of religious fanaticism, key groups storming of Aleppo (like “Ahrar al-Sham” or “Al-Nusra”) is far from complete destruction, but their ability in recent days considerably decreased. Fights are moving in the confrontation of attrition that is more profitable CAA and actually kalkiruet situation of fighting for the farm Mallah, when militants as after the capture of the CAA farms had a counterattack, made initial tactical success, but in the course of defensive battles it completely lost, full feeling on blows of the Russian and Syrian aircraft, as well as artillery Assad. As a result, an operational crisis, though not completely overcome, but the trend now is that already during the 5-7 days it can be resolved in favor of Assad, if the militants will not be able to gather strength and still pass these unfortunate 2 kilometers. But it may be that these so close 2 kilometers might be insurmountable. At one time a similar collision faced CAA punching corridor Kuveyris when almost a week the army could not break through the defense of the Caliphate on the approaches to the airbase. But the Syrians were still able to overpower the enemy and defeat the “black”, to which actually began turning point in the battle for Aleppo, the battle for which is now approaching its climax.

Iraqi Popular Forces Spokesman: Iran’s General Soleimani to Play Major Role in Mosul Operations

Spokesman of the Iraqi popular forces Ahmad al-Assadi confirmed that Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force Commander Major General Qassem Soleimani will play a major role in the upcoming operations to liberate Mosul, stressing that his country is in dire need of Iranian military advisors.

“The presence of Brigadier-General Soleimani in the operations to free Mosul and Nineveh province is necessary and General Soleiman is the greatest advisor that has helped the Iraqi government in the war against the ISIL,” al-Assadi told FNA on Saturday.

“Hajj Qassem Soleimani is one of the most important military advisors of the Islamic Republic of Iran who is in Iraq at the invitation, demand and agreement of the Iraqi government,” he added.

Stressing that the Iranian advisors are in Iraq at the demand of the Iraqi government and have played a big role in most operations conducted by the popular forces, al-Assadi said, “They provided the Iraqis with strong views and important consultations with respect to their experience and capabilities.”

In relevant remarks in June, Iraqi Foreign Minister Ebrahim al-Jafari underlined that General Soleimani is in Iraq to help the country in campaign against terrorism after receiving Baghdad’s rigid request.

“General Soleimani is in Iraq at the invitation of the Iraqi government to provide military counseling to the Iraqi forces,” the Arabic-language Sumeria news channel quoted al-Jafari as saying.

He, meantime, said that the Iraqi nation is able to kick the terrorists out of Iraq with the possibilities in their hands now, adding that Hashd al-Shaabi doesn’t have any political plan and merely supports the political process
