All Quiet on Western Front After Syrian Forces Recapture Palmyra - by Danielle Ryan

"The recapture of the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra was the single biggest defeat for ISIS since it declared its Caliphate, but the West does not seem interested. Why?

The recapture of Palmyra was not just a mortal blow to ISIS, it was also a mortal blow to the West's entire rotten narrative on Syria."

What Next For the Russian Steamroller?

ikosmos

Some quotes from that piece on the Russian Steamroller in Syria. A good breakdown for non-military people.

Quote:
Whereas the Syrian army previously made up for its manpower shortages by heavy over-reliance on slow-moving tracked armoured vehicles in an excessively tank heavy mix which typically lacked proper infantry and engineering support, today it uses its infantry much more effectively and aggressively, placing many of them in lighter and more fast moving wheeled vehicles, that are better adapted to many of the battles it has to fight.

The heavy concentrations of armour - now beefed up with around two dozen TOW resistant T90 tanks and an unknown number of TOS1 rocket systems supplied by Russia - are by contrast now being used properly where they are needed, in the tough positional warfare against the more heavily armed US and Turkish supported jihadi rebels in the north, around Aleppo and Idlib.

A feature of the new offensives has been the heavy role played in them by the Syrian army’s special forces units - units with picturesque names like the “Tiger Forces” and the “Desert Falcons”.

These units existed before the Russian intervention. However it is only since the Russian intervention that they have been given their head and are being used properly.

The change in Syrian tactics is visible in the battle to liberate Palmyra.

OK, so what was different?

Quote:
Whereas the previous Syrian strategy was to encircle rebel controlled towns with heavy armour and artillery so as to starve and shell them into submission - a disastrous strategy in moral and political terms and one which rarely succeeded on its own terms, instead bogging the Syrian army down in attritional warfare which its limited manpower resources meant it could ill-afford - Palmyra was quickly stormed in hand-to-hand fighting by small groups of elite well-trained infantry.

The task of intercepting Islamic State supplies and reinforcements being rushed to Palmyra was left - as it should be - to the Russian airforce, which tracked and bombed Islamic State convoys trying to reach Palmyra along the main roads - apparently inflicting in the process heavy losses on the Islamic State.

Heavy tanks and armour seem to have been barely used, with the force that liberated Palmyra numbering no more than 5,000 men.

The success of such tactics depends heavily on good intelligence and effective command-and-control, with good coordination of the movements of the ground troops and of the airforce.

It is here that the presence of Russian and Iranian advisers - drawn mostly from Russia’s Spetsnaz forces and Iran’s Revolutionary Guards - has almost certainly made the vital difference, as has the Russians’ ability to observe the battlefield with aerial drones and other technical means, enabling them to keep the advancing Syrian troops continuously informed of what their enemy is doing.

......................

So, the four stages are outlined as follows.

Stage 1

"This stage lasted from the start of the campaign in October until mid November.

This was a period of consolidation, with the US plan to set up a no-fly zone thwarted and with the territories remaining under the control of the Syrian government including especially Damascus and Latakia province finally secured.

During this period most of the Russian bombing raids were concentrated in the west of the country provoking criticism in the West that Russia was not bombing the Islamic State.

It is in fact standard practice for the Russians to secure their base area before launching an offensive, and during this stage that is what they were doing. That is why most of their bombing raids during this period where concentrated in western Syria rather than against the Islamic State further east."

Stage 2

"This stage lasted from mid November to mid January.

This was the period of the first Syrian army offensives and was a period of major escalation, with the Russians throwing heavy bombers (14 TU22M3s and 6 TU95s and 5 TU160s) into the campaign.

This led to massive round the clock bombing, allowing the Syrian military finally to regain full control of Syria’s two central cities of Homs and Hama - the focus of the original anti-government protests of 2011 - and to regain control of much of the countryside around Damascus.

It was also during this stage that the first steps towards lifting the siege of Aleppo were taken with the lifting in November of the siege of the Kuweires air base near Aleppo.

The key point about the Russian bombing during this period is not the sheer number of bombs that were dropped.

It is that the Russians because of their far superior flight and guidance systems were able bomb continuously round the clock, day and night, in all weathers, giving the rebels no respite whilst flying from altitudes where the rebels’ anti aircraft systems couldn’t reach them.

Experience in previous conflicts shows that it is this sort of continuous bombing which - together with its accuracy - paralyses movement, interrupts supplies and causes exhaustion to set in and morale to collapse.

It was this heavy bombing that set the scene for Syrian army’s advances over the following weeks.

Though it was the strategic TU95s and TU160s with their cruise missiles that attracted most of the attention, the heavy lifting was probably actually done by the TU22M3s with their free fall bombs."

Stage 3

"This stage lasted from mid January to the beginning of March.

It witnessed the major Syrian army offensive that led to the lifting of the siege of Aleppo and the effective encirclement of most of the rebel forces there.

It ended with the truce which has brought peace to most of western Syria - permitting the withdrawal of the greater part of the Russian aerial strike force based in Latakia.

At the end of this stage the Syrian government’s hold on the populous coastal regions in the west of the country was finally and fully secured. It became clear that the Syrian government could not be defeated militarily, making possible the negotiations which are finally underway between the Syrian government and its opponents in Geneva.

Stage 4

This is the stage which is underway now, with the truce releasing the remaining Russian aerial assets still left in Syria and the elite forces of the Syrian army to take the battle to the Islamic State in eastern Syria.

This stage will probably end within the next week or so with the lifting of the siege of Deir ez-Zor and with the Syrian army reaching the Iraqi border."

There you have it.

A wave of airstrikes and shelling killed more than 60 people in less than 24 hours in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo, monitors and activists said Thursday. The contested city is now one of the main battlegrounds of Syria's devastating civil war, with a cease-fire that has collapsed and peace talks in Geneva stalled. At least 27 people died as a hospital supported by Doctors Without Borders and the International Committee for the Red Cross and nearby buildings were hit overnight in the rebel-held part of Aleppo.

"...But al-Qaeda is by now an integrated part of those Saudi/Qatar/US paid proxy forces and well accepted by those groups. It gets its weapons and ammunition from the very proxy groups the US now wants to separate from it.

Even if the Saudis and Jordanians assert their influence over these groups it is unlikely that the fighters on the ground will follow their directives.

No US propaganda campaign can wave away al Qaeda's presence in Syria nor the UNSC resolutions the US itself agreed to. Either Kerry manages to pressure Saudi Arabia and Jordan to move their proxies away from al Qaeda or there will be again an all out Russian campaign to eradicate them.

It is unlikely that any of these proxies would survive such a campaign."
