Aleppo:
During military offensives it is quite hard to find balance in news reports regarding what is really happening on the ground. The fact is that this latest terrorist offensive to retake strategic routes into Aleppo has a very large media-multi-grouping involved. It has been planned and widely promoted for at least one week. A cautionary warning to our readers is that terrorist supporters are disseminating easy, meaningless gains, as part of their disinformation campaign.
There were several reports of terrorist troops being pulled back from Hama, Homs and Lattakia to mass near Aleppo. It is an estimated 5,000-8,000, but this is completely unconfirmed and nearly impossible to double check; but, due to the initial intensity of the attack, the number 5,000, at a minimum, is very likely.
The main Terrorist’s groups involved so far with a roughly mixed bag of 50/50% Syrians and foreigners, are:
Nusra/Jabhat Fateh Al-Shaam/Alqaeda
Suqoor Al-Jabal
Ahraar Al-Shaam
Faylaq Al-Shaam
Ajnaad Al-Shaam
Liwaa` Al-Haq
Jaysh Al-Sunna
Turkistan Islamic Party (Uighur jihadists from China)
The main target area the terrorists struck yesterday is by far the narrowest part of West Aleppo, with possible flanks to be protected due to the loss of Khaan Toumaan and its environs 2 months ago.
When the attack started, the front line was as long as 20 kms. They clearly aimed for the narrow corridor but took time to expand the flanks for protection during the initial hours. But, then, the attackers constricted into a spearhead movement aiming at Al–Hikma School and the 1070 apartment complex. It was strikingly successful during the day, yesterday, which brought the terrorists to about 3 kms from their besieged terrorist confederates inside Aleppo.
Civilians assisted by burning tyres in West Aleppo to create thick black plumes of smoke, while surface to air fire was reported targeting helicopters supporting Syrian forces.
ISIS, either acting in coordination or opportunistically seizing upon this event, used the Aleppo offensive to target Syrian supply lines in Khanaasser. VBIED was used. For the umpteenth time, the “moderates” and ISIS seemed to be coordinating their military tactics. Is there any doubt they are doing exactly that?
After the paltry initial gains by the terrorists, reinforcements poured into the battle; Liwaa` Al Quds sent 400+ soldiers with 300 more Syrian Army special operations commandos arriving with many more battle-hardened infantrymen.
Air strikes increased markedly and all the terrorist supply lines were bombed intensively. Make no mistake, a very large number of terrorists were killed or wounded during these bombings and, according to reports, continue to perish, based on terrorist website news.
The new front line was held on the disputed 1070 apartments and the counter attack was initiated during the night and early Monday morning. The initial results are that there is a large group of terrorists surrounded at the 1070 apartment complex and they are cut off from the terrorists in Al-Hikma School, which have been beset upon by special forces as I write. There is little info on how this is playing out since it is happening now. Overall, the terrorists did not initiate a 2nd wave attack, maybe due to the intense and constant bombings. Map below shows the most recent situation.

Meanwhile a Russian Mi-8 was shot down with 5 KIA SW of Aleppo; horrible scenes were filmed with the terrorists and families on top of the bodies and pulling them around, reminding one of Mogadishu and Fallujah; There is very little doubt that the RuAF will respond by delivering to the cannibal revelers a taste of a fiery Hell.
Saraaqib: Russian pilot’s body dragged by Islamist savages after his helicopter crashed. There will be Hell to pay for the murder of the Russian crew which was ferrying humanitarian supplies to the civilians of Aleppo. (Photo: Alalam)
The attack SW Aleppo has at Shughaydilla and the nearby Dam failed, but the terrorists managed to advance in the small Al-‘Aamriyya village area. However, that may not be sustainable since their main spearhead attack has bottomed out and cooled down.
This battle is by far undecided. The two sides have committed large amounts of resources. Should 1070 apartment complex be retaken, then the terrorist main gain from the 1st day will be lost and all the rest is pretty much open terrain, easy pray for bombing and artillery. So the battle for the 1070 apartment complex is the big one unless the terrorists open up a new spearhead further south.
The amount of losses on the terrorists side is very high, they will probably have a 2-3 day window to storm the area with the same aggressiveness as day 1. If no further progress is made,then, it will be hard to continue and the offensive will have failed miserably and with it could go down many of the most experienced terrorist-cannibals. This has been a big, if not the biggest gamble, by the terrorists so far in this war.

Archival photo shows trucks moving on the Khanaasser/Atharyaa
As Canthama wrote in his post herein-above, the lying rodents have been disseminating their fakeries with much abandon these last few days. One of their most blatant lies is the red herring about ISIS working with Jund Al-Aqsaa to block the Khanaasser/Atharyaa Road over which the Syrian military and civilian humanitarian agencies are delivering aid to long-suffering Aleppan civilians. The road is totally clear and the Syrian government has announced clearly that scores of trucks are speeding to the city without any impediment.
Al-Raamoosa: The SAA and its allies humiliated Jaysh Al-Fath at this crucial town in the southwest of the northern capital inflicting scores of dead and wounded. The rodents tried to soften up SAA positions with firecrackers, but, failed to advance one inch before SAA T-90 tanks obliterated their ranks and sent them scurrying off into their favorite sewers.
The loss of the Russian crew will not be in vain. The terrorists are not gaining anything. Pure propaganda. They will all be dead or gone soon.
This “offensive” is a PR for sponsors, that headchoppers are still worth being funded and supplied. They talked too much prior to it.
Fair summary of the anti-Assad advance by Canthama, but far more than 5,000 fighters involved. There is chatter of 4x that number. The chatter of a fightback for the 1070 Housing Complex is more hope than reality at the moment. Initial effort has to be to prevent further losses in critical areas — look to the military complex in al-Hamdaniyah and the artillery base — as well as keeping the Ramouseh supply line open. The claim of heavy anti-Assad losses is also not confirmed yet. Right now, the balance of evidence is that the surprise offensive inflicted a serious toll… Read more »
Link to the same events as reported by Anglo Capitalist mouthpiece in London, the Guardian. You can safely skip the usual MSM pro-terrorist propaganda “above the line” (or correct it by comparison with Canthama’s objective news, above). What is really new is an unprecedented flood of anti-terrorist, pro-Syrian, pro-Assad, pro-Russian support from readers “below the line”. There is now complete disagreement between this establishment MSM newspaper and its readership. Something is stirring in the Anglo undergrowth.

I must say that although most so-called ‘alternate’ western-sourced news media give out much factual information that the msm does not touch (eg Global Research, Info Wars etc) they do so within an imposed tone of ‘perceived futility’. I believe the alternate news media in the west is yet another controlled platform designed for the ‘more informed’ and being as the cat is already out-of-the-bag in regards to such people, the primary goal is for these people to be filled with a large dose of futility; that although you may be aware of what is happening around you and to… Read more »
Hope some Spetsnaz troops can hone their cooking skills by turning those degenerate Salafi monkeys into human kebabs to feed to pigs and dogs.

I can´t believe an information that talks of “hundreds of bomb trucks” being used in this rat offensive
Thank you Ziad for your news and updates !
These rat offensives have some wave-like build up with main media-info, the pushing up of recent recruits from Turkey, ammo delivery and somewhere a new card out of the sleeve with a new group composition.
It smells like US/UK “advisors” giving another kick in the butt of the rat reserves.
We are with you, keep on going strong, SAA !
These filthy Islamist Takfiri scumbags are going to get fucked hard and fast by the Russian Air Force very soon! The Russian ministry of information should put out “news” that the Prophet Muhammad has appeared in their town — and then they should wait for thousands of these subhumans to gather there — and then drop dozens of 5,000 lb. bombs all over them! Would love to see that.
Nice link. Better informed indeedy!! MSM loyalists are definitely struggling.
It wouldn’t surprise me if some of the desperate ‘Guardian-worldview-defense-brigade’ like ‘psygone, morris1798,luminaire and chiselbeard’ are really Mantwat and Farts Dildos using their other accounts…
Cheers.
I am posting this link about anthrax “re-emerging” in Russia after 75 years as it might be bio-warfare from the kikes and the subject was touched upon in the last article on this forum. They want their control over Russia again and are not happy with Putin. It should be relatively easy to determine if this is natural or weaponized anthrax as they have different genetic markers. Woe to those if it is found to be genetically altered!!!

Stay tuned:
Lets hope the brave soldiers in Aleppo can hold out against the barbarian hordes trying to storm the city.
well written.
How many always NATO backed PKK/YPG were involved with the shooting down of that helicopter and the subsequent abuses of the Russians? It’s been reported that SAA requested the Kurdish terrorists leave Aleppo, but, they refuse to! In fact SAA has released images of the Kurdish terrorists occupying parts of Aleppo “We have checkpoints which are close to the regime positions in Aleppo city, particularly in Al Ashrafiye as well in the Bani Zaid neighbourhoods, where violence has been escalating recently,” Kurdish officer Sharvan Efrin told local reporters. “Some of the regime soldiers wanted our forces to leave their positions… Read more »
Best wishes to SAA and their allies in Syria and particularly in Aleppo at this time.
The Russian helicopter, was it a partly female crew ?

EVERYTHING FAILED! They are going to use now ISRAEL as a bait. The Syrian 5 war failed. The Turkey coup failed altough certainly there is a slow coup waiting to materialise the RIGHT TIME to trigger a war with Greece and Turkey and close the Bosporus for the Russians. IF the Sabattean Order of Global Jewry, the First Messianic Jewish sect in history, formed in 1666 in Northern Greece, then part of the Ottoman Empire, that really runs the world (Rothschilds 17th century descendants from Holland and the Hispanic-Hassidim-Thessalonian Sabbatai Zevi relationship) , probably including many British Turkish and Israeli… Read more »
The battle for western Aleppo continues with some important developments: 1) The fight on 1070 apartment complex continue, after roughly all taken by the terrorists yesterday, a counter offensive managed to balance the power inside this complex and fight is on for the control of it. 2) The terrorists managed to get few hills around the Ramouseh artillery base, vital for the defense of this area in Aleppo, where they are firing motars in it. The SAA is counter attacking it at the moment to release pressure from it. This battle is far from over, though the terrorists are having… Read more »
Send in Russian bombers & BLOW UP all those 1070 terrorists, with heaviest accurate bombs Russia has.
The war was lost many many moths ago and these dumbasses keep fighting while they can get 1500 euros social security in Europe every month for the rest of their natural lives and not work 1 day!!!

Someone is missing the bus to paradise!!!
The BBC World Service devoted a lot of air time today to two doctors – one working in Aleppo, one nearby. It’s the usual story – civilians and hospitals are being deliberately targeted and bombed, food is running out and a humanitarian disaster is unfolding – with repeated use of the terms women, children, hospital, deliberate, targeted etc. No “barrel bombing” though.
The terrorists must be in big trouble to warrant so much airtime. Perhaps no early ceasefire to save them.
I wonder. Has Erdogan fallen silent? That would be significant.
This offensive looks like the German Ardennes Offensive in WWII. The end will be the same. – Curious that Russia didn’t see it through. – Why Russia didn’t warn Syrian, Iranian commanders of the Israel ambush in Golan? ============= http://sputniknews.com/middleeast/20160730/1043777884/russia-us-syria-aleppo.html In Syria’s Aleppo Russia is Saving the US’ Face ================ http://en.farsnews.com/newstext.aspx?nn=13950508000292 EXCLUSIVE: Senior Syrian Army Commander Survives Israel’s Assassination Plot Majid Heymoud, commander of First Battalion of Golan Regiment who was visiting Eastern al-Samdaniya town narrowly survived the assassination plot.

With some caution, good news started to flow from the Western Aleppo battle field. It seems the 1070 Apartment complex was totally liberated, this is important since it is a large area where the terrorists, with more time, could entrench inside and be tough to eliminate. https://twitter.com/Syria_Protector/status/760188401995898880 ANNA News directly from 1070, earlier on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CFFD3gPl0Y&feature=youtu.be Worth noting that both the Republican Guards (most likely part of the 4th Mechanized Division) and the Tiger Force are now deeply involved in the counter offensive in western Aleppo, meaning that the plans to storm Anadan were most likely postponed.

Legendary badass Colonel Hassan Soheili and his Tiger Force are in Aleppo.
UN calls for a restoration of the cessation of hostilities in Aleppo which means the idiot offensive is highly likely to fail or has already failed.

Isn’t it curious that today was the day, according to John Kerry, that Assad was supposed to transition out of Syria- The transition was to begin today. And just two days before the coup attempt in Turkey, John Kerry was arrogantly speaking of ‘dangling an offer’ to Russia to get this transition started or else- And while John Kerry was ‘dangling carrots’ in Russia, the coup was thwarted in Turkey with Putin phoning Erdogan immediately afterwards.. Today a Russian helicopter is shot down. And Assad is still the President. Would US/UK/ French/ Israeli (NATO) operatives have been present when the… Read more »

Thanks for all of today running updates.

60 terrorists killed since 20:00 GMT.
Go SAA!
ISIS and “moderate” rebels are all basically the same as they are all Salafist-militants. It looks like it’s the end for all Wahabi rebels, ISIS/”Moderates” in this last dash and desperate attempt to regain control of the small Aleppo enclave. 1. ISIS are being defeated in Iraq and are on the verge of destruction there, in their homeland, Iraq. 2. If we look at the maps of how much territory the SAA has gained in Aleppo in the past few years it’s clear that the trajectory is for an eventual SAA reconquest of the whole city. 3. The rebels are… Read more »

South Front – Syrian War Report – August 1, 2016: Jihadists Attempt to Break Aleppo Siege
This appears to be a classic textbook Russian envelopment tactic.
The rebels were lured/allowed to send a huge force deliberately for it to be decimated. One source I read elsewhere speculated that this may have been as much as 80% of their fighting force.
It’s August now…by the end of the month or September, the war may essentially be over and the western media itself may say Assad has won and any fighting which does continue are just a few minor local insurgencies being quelled by the national government as opposed to a all out civil war.

With no direct information for the battlefield I would just depict the scenario and its possible evolution. Despite the Mistura’s grievance and big concern about civilians, and also the surprised Al-Nusra announcement of forming its own gang, away from al qaeda, confirmed and approved immediately by its leader al-zawahiri, any doubt about who is behind of this war?, the Syrian Army and its Allies continues the offensive in whole Aleppo. The result is the complete encirclement of the rats. now, they know that nobody but just the other rats out there could come to the rescue. As soon as last… Read more »

For those interested: Hillary Clinton Email Archive – link to WikiLeaks
As by August, 2 – 04:00 am Damascus time, Arab and western MSM TV such as Al-Jazeera, Euronews and France 24 have stopped speaking about “Rebel advance in southwest Aleppo” . So we could arguably presume that the “huge” offensive have thwarted.
Kerry is now asking Russia and SAA to restrain their offensive… that says it all !
