Syrian Civil War (Graphic Photos/Vid Not Allowed)

I have no buddies here, not sure what you're referring to but take it up with them.

مرحبا اخي! كيف حالك؟؟

exactly, but the US wants it n is pushing for it, Saudis gave Sisi 30 billion with 5 years of basically free oil, they wouldn't do it for free, imagine how many soldiers around the world they can mobilize if they want

It's not that simple though. You can't just buy soldiers left & right. Even if the government wants to rent out its army, all it takes is the war to be prolonged, and causalities high, and the population of that country will have strong negative feedbacks towards their own government.

Look at the Yemen war. A lot of countries refused, and those that initially agreed, are barely in the war anymore. Remember, the coalition in the Yemen war officially has Egypt & Jordan as part of it, but how involved are they? How many soldiers did they send? What happened to their air strikes?

That's why Saudi had to go then go to poor African countries such as Senegal, but even that, isn't simple. Back in May, we heard that Senegal was sending 2100 soldiers. But where exactly are they? What are they doing? Were they sent? Have there been casualties?

Finally, it seems Saudi moved on to the next phase, actually paying for mercenaries. This is simpler, because you are paying to soldiers who are financially invested in it. A mercenary who dies in a war does not have a blowback in their own country, because they are not part of that country's army. This is the best way to buy an army, but mercenaries are useful in small quantities, I doubt you can capture a country using just them.

So, what I'm saying, money is not everything. It's extremely difficult to have another country send their army for your cause, unless the war is sold to the public of that country. Using an example, one of the countries in that list is Gabon. This country has 73% christian population, and only 12% Islamic population (and as per wiki, 80-90% of that are foreigners). So, imagine this country sends its soldiers (which would be Christians) to be part of Islamic Military Alliance, led by Saudi Arabia, to battle Muslims. How would its population view it?

This is not simple, but unfortunately, young Prince Mohammad (who is rumored to be only 30) is looking at everything through the lens of royalty upbringing.

Lol says person, who's country sends swarms of Shia mercenaries to the country with only 2% of Shia population.

Shia are right. Ali is Muhammad's successor. That's why it's Muhammad Ali.

Where did I once mention anything about Sunni/shia, Israeli?

The Israeli brings down the collective intelligence of this board. He has absolutely no knowledge of military matters and thinks playing video games has taught him about geo politics.

He is nothing but a jewish propaganda machine not even the west takes seriously.

The best course of action is to laugh at him. Thought out replies only confuse him.

No they haven't.

Yes they have. I have video evidence. Now the problem is too many dead bodies. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Shtora doesn't jam TOW. For the last damn time you buffoon. It works well against laser guided systems, like Toophan and Kornet - rebels don't have the Toophan, Iran does, and rebels have many more TOWs, Konkurs, and other wire guided ATGMs than the Kornet. Shtora works if the target is illuminated - the crew would have to deploy smoke manually if they want to block a TOW, and they wouldn't know until they've already been fried.

No they haven't recaptured Marj Sultan. Stop arguing over things you have no clue about. If they had recaptured it, I would simply admit it, just like I have admitted other areas they have recaptured. This isn't a kindergarten, state of denial doesn't wok when it comes to capturing areas by both sides.

As for air base, SAA didn't even capture the airbase, let alone losing it again. They have just captured smaller reserve air base near Marj al-Sultan town besides the town itself.

I never claimed SAA took the airbase - rebels right now are clashing in Marj al Sultan. It's traded sides multiple times over.

He is lucky it was Malyutka - total trash ATGM, very slow and very hard to guide. In 1973 war it took dozens of Malyutkas per Israeli tank.

Why is this mass murderer still in Power?

Why is this mass murderer still in Power?

Thank the war criminals in Russia and Iran for that. If the groups on all sides of this war had no foreign support, there would be no YPG, no ISIS, and certainly no Assad. Would've been over long ago.

Rebels did this in a T-55 against a Konkurs, but that's only salafist jihadist luck and not like the skill of a shiite truck driver against a Malyutka....
Evading a missile going 120 m/s isn't that hard in a truck that accelerates quickly.
