Syrian Civil War (Graphic Photos/Vid Not Allowed)

Iraqi Baath destroy Syrian Baath T-90 with Hezbie thugs inside:

This shows how clueless you actually are regarding Syria, this tank was not operated by Hezbollah (which has no presence in Khanaser road as we speak), but Afghan Fatemiyun group. The Shtora system was also off since they were not expecting ISIS presence in area. All the crew survived, we made contact with them, only 2 lightly injured.

Next time, don't embarrass yourself again like this.

Both are foreign sectarian Khamenai mercenary thugs who have nothing to do with Syria.

Same old story. EVERY time T-90 is hit by missile magic Shtora was off.

Next time, don't embarrass yourself again like this.

Everything happened as I predicted 2 years ago. Thats embarrassing indeed.

Besides the fact that it's absolutely none of your business, your answer had nothing to do with the embarrassment. You lied and I reminded you of that.

I'm sure I take even one word of those who were INSIDE the tank more seriously than every single word you say on this forum.

Embarrassment was about lying and getting exposed, not any random 'predictions'.

They are just different brands of Khamenai shyt that nothing to do with Syria. I never claimed to be a specialist in brands of Khamenai shyt.

Those who were inside tank dont write in twitters. I doubt they are even alive now. But its really ridiculous that they forget to turn on Shtora magic system EACH TIME. As I said Shtora is useless and thats why it was rejected by Indians and thats why no one on he world uses it (its nothing but IR searchlight).

U exposed nothing.

And did I say they are on Twitter? We (a group of Iranians) have direct contacts with people in Syria (unlike you who are clueless about things going on there) and some of them are Fatemiyoun fighters. One of the injured crew is our friend. He is now in Tehran. And yes, all of the crew survived. They were hit in an area where they didn't expect any ISIS presence.

The funny thing is that when the shtora is on it glows red, and the T-90 in the photos clearly has a shtora that is not working, yet our Israeli friend is arguing without logic.


So @500 because India did not purchase the shtora this means it doesn't work? Everyone else must be a fool for buying it then. By your logic the Merkava is a failure that doesn't work because in 39 years Israel sold a whopping 0.

After the 2006 embarrassment involving the invisible "best protected tank in the world", I doubt we will see Merkava sales anytime soon if ever.

Shtora is part of T-90 package. So why Indians bought T-90 but removed Shtora? Because its not effective.

The funny thing that latest Russian T-90 variant also lacks Shtora:

They didn't remove anything, they ordered it without the shtora just like they ordered it without air conditioning which they ended up regretting. They tried to cut cost in any way possible, even assembling to T-90s from kits shipped from Russia.

The funny thing that latest Russian T-90 variant also lacks Shtora:

The Shtora has limitations, its only useful if it faces the threat but to claim it doesn't work is comical. Russian tanks are built with efficiency and cost savings in mind, the shtora would never have had a chance in hell to be equipped on T-90s if it did not work. No one will install equipment on a tank that is worthless esspecially when it will increase cost. A lot of people would lose their jobs and some face jail time if that was the case. All the components of the T-90 were tested in field trials before ever being approved for mass production, there is an entire chain of command it goes through. But continue more of your conspiracy theories.

Air conditioning is not a standard package of T-90. Shtora jammers dont cost anything, they wont add even 0.1% to tank cost.

Well, no one in the world puts them and now Russia itself decided to ditch it. Its you who believe in global conspiracy.

BEIRUT: Militants from Al-Qaeda’s former Syria branch and opposition fighters who have recently joined forces against them fought in heavy clashes in the northwest of the country on Friday, an opposition official and a monitoring group said.
In another incident, at least 10 people were killed in Turkish airstrikes and shelling in and around a Syrian town held by the Daesh group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

Fighting between Jabhat Fateh Al-Sham, formerly the Al-Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front, and more moderate, foreign-backed factions erupted this week in areas west of Aleppo and the adjacent rebel-held province of Idlib.

The clashes, which are taking place separately to the main battle in Syria’s conflict — that between rebels and the Syrian government — threaten to further weaken opposition to President Bashar Assad in the insurgents’ biggest territorial stronghold.

A rebel source said Fateh Al-Sham launched fierce new attacks on Friday.

“A short while ago there was tank bombardment of the base of the headquarters of our brothers in the Jaish Al-Islam (faction) in Babsiqa,” an opposition source in one of the groups involved in the fighting told Reuters.

“Activists are reporting casualties in a camp for women nearby from the tank and mortar bombardment.”
The clashes appeared to take place in two areas of Idlib — one west of Aleppo and close to the Turkish border, and the other south of Idlib city, close to the main highway linking Aleppo to Damascus.

The Observatory said each side was using “heavy weaponry,” and reported a number of civilian casualties.
In towns close to the fighting, several hundred people protested against Fateh Al-Sham for targeting opposition factions, or called for the clashes to stop so civilians would not get hurt, the British-based Observatory said.

Fateh Al-Sham, which routed at least one Free Syrian Army (FSA) faction this week, is now fighting against a number of groups that have joined forces under the powerful Ahrar Al-Sham to fend off the assault.

Ahrar Al-Sham, which presents itself as a mainstream group, sided with the FSA groups and said Fateh Al-Sham had rejected mediation attempts.

Fateh Al-Sham said on Tuesday it had been forced to act preemptively to “thwart conspiracies” being hatched against it.
The groups it has attacked include factions that attended peace talks in Kazakhstan sponsored by Damascus allies Russia and Iran, and rebel backer Turkey.

Turkish fire kills 10

The Turkish bombardment hit the northern town of Al-Bab and the nearby area of Tadif, both held by Daesh, on Thursday, according to the Observatory.

Al-Bab has come under heavy assault in recent weeks, with Turkish, Russian and Syrian warplanes carrying out strikes in or around the town.

The Observatory says it determines whose planes carry out raids according to their type, location, flight patterns and the munitions involved.

Turkish forces regularly carry our airstrikes in support of a ground operation it launched in Syria last August targeting both Daesh and Kurdish fighters. Several this month have been joint operations with Russia.

But Turkish officials insist the utmost is done to avoid any civilian casualties and have vehemently denied claims civilians have been killed in previous strikes.

Turkey’s state-run Anadolu news agency reported on Friday that 22 Daesh “terrorists” had been killed in the latest round of Turkish strikes on Syria, against a total of 272 Daesh targets.

Daesh is not included in a fragile nationwide cease-fire in force since Dec. 30 that led to peace negotiations jointly organized by Turkey, Russia and Iran in Kazakhstan this week.

There was no major breakthrough in the talks, which brought a government delegation together for indirect talks with representatives of armed groups for the first time.

Ankara has backed opposition groups fighting against Assad since the conflict began with anti-government protests in March 2011.

Moscow and Tehran have supported the government.

IDLIB, Syria

Six armed opposition groups on Saturday joined ranks to form a new grouping in Syria.

The umbrella group brings together Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (JFS), Nour al-Din al-Zenki movement, Liwa al-Haq, Jabhat Ansar al-Din, Jaysh al-Sunna, and Mujahido Ashiddaa, according to a statement released by the six groups.

The move came a few days after JFS, formerly known as al-Nusra Front, launched a military campaign against opposition factions that took part in last week's peace talks with the Syrian regime in Astana.

The Hai’at Tahrir al-Sham grouping will be chaired by Hashim al-Sheikh, who is also known as “Abu Jaber”, who had served as the commanding general of the Ahrar al-Sham group.

No details are yet available about the military lineup of the new body.

Syria has been locked in a devastating civil war since early 2011, when the Bashar al-Assad regime cracked down on pro-democracy protests with unexpected ferocity.

"The wounded armed opposition members and civilians who don't agree with the deal, will be sent to Idlib tomorrow," joint spokesman of civil organizations at Wadi Barada valley, Fuad Abu Khatab told Anadolu Agency.

"Those who don't want to exit Barada will have the option to stay after speaking with the regime."

According to Abu Khatab, 1,500 individuals in total will leave the area. He added that the armed opposition members deployed around the valley will leave the area within 48 hours after the armed opposition members inside the valley go out.

Recently, the regime forces had been intensively attacking the Wadi Barada valley.

The Wadi Barada valley is 16 kilometers away from the center of Damascus and 12 kilometers from Lebanon. The valley also includes Ain al-Fijah, the main water supply of Damascus.

The valley hosts about 100,000 Syrians, including those who fled from different parts of Syria due to the ongoing civil war.
