That video is not one but compilation of many. There is not even a company of tanks (all captured from Assad, poorly maintained, with little ammo and never trained to operate as company) in that offensive.
Just because they don't have a tank battalion, does not mean they are farmers with pitchforks.
You always do this. You go from one extreme to another.
Of course, Assad has a better military equipment over the rebels. I don't think anyone here is denying that. Assad has the advantage of having an actual national military with all the technical equipment that comes with it, plus air support from Russia.
But this is also not a motivation sports film. The rebels aren't just underdogs fighting armed only with heart and passion, with their weapons being only their love for democracy and justice.
They have access to many weapons (which they usually proudly show).Most of you pro-rebels constantly have posted pictures from the last few years whenever they capture any SAA weapon and mocked the SAA for it, but then you claim, the poor rebels fight only in their slippers with nothing.
The rebels are not farmers. Groups like Al Nusra have been fighting for AT LEAST 4-5 years (and some more than that, coming from other nations). They have been supported by other countries financially, militarily, intelligently, and logistically. I don't know why all this is ignored. You can support a side and still be honest about that. The pro-SAA side don't deny that the gov gets Russian Air Support or Iranian advisory support or Hezbollah ground support. But the rebel side like to pretend that they are a 100% Syrian group (no foreigners) who have never received one dime from any country and they have no weapons and are all good hearted farmers.
