Hi there guys...

hangin around in the cyber space,

i found this topic:

http://alternate-timelines.proboards.com/thread/1381/successful-baathist-syria-iraq
i just write answers to a single phrase of this topic ...

The initial Syraqi offensive is a decisive success that overruns Khuzestan

I don't know how much do you know about Iran/Iraq War !!!

So, I start from Very First ...

1- Surprise attack of Iraqi Air Force, compeletly Failed due to low Training and Experience of its Pilots.

We only lost a plane that later was repaired.

The day After attack, we showed our merci with 192 planes attacked Iraqi "Valueable Targets".

2- They said We will capture "Khorramshahr" in 1 day, "Khuzistan" in 3 days and "Tehran" in 7 days.

But, they were stopped at so-called "DEJ" -Fortress - s for 3 days.

they were a series of 60 Cement fortress , each one has a garrison of 20, consisted of:

1 M-47 / 48 Medium Tank

1 106 mm Gun

1 M2 .50 cal HMG

1 60 mm Mortar

2 RPG-7 Teams

1 MG 3 A 1 LMG

The Fortresses were crewed by elements of "151st Inf. Bn." .

3- Iranian Gendarmerie Troops had fought with Iraqi forces, back in before 1979, each time they were defeated.

4- The Battle of Khoramshahr lasted 34 days !!!

Iranian Forces, Consisted of:

92 Arm. Div. --- 1st Marine Battalion --- Gendarmerie Troops --- Newly Formed "IRGC" volunteers --- "Army Officer College" volunteers ---

Defended Town to last man, last bullet, last drop of their blood.

4- Iraqi forces could not capture "Abadan" , but sieged it, the siege was later broke during "Samen-ol-Aemmeh" Operation.

5- They never Captured "Ahvaz" - "Andimeshk" - "Masjed Soleiman" - "Susa" - "Shushtar" - "Ramhormoz" ...

6- in fact, they never "Overrun" Khuzestan Province.

7- they lost their Navy in 67th Day of War. (Op. Morvarid)

So, was it a Great Victory for them?

Is it counted as an Victory?
