Report: Aleppo terrorists entirely encircled

There were interesting news on German TV:
While N24 had a funny "expert" who was clearly anti-Assad, the Aleppo news were quite informative. He failed to inform about the humanitarian preparations, Russia and Syria are running and assumed there will be jail and torture for "rebels" accepting Assad´s amnesty. But no German can any longer talk about good rebels as the news were clear:

- "Rebels" do not let civilians go, use them as human shield
- "Rebels" supported by ISIS

They published footage of a person escaping sniper fire. They couldn´t say what is it about but it is probably someone escaping eastern Aleppo, hunted by terrorists. Politicians like terrorist supporters Steinmeier and Obama are mourning over the war on terror in Aleppo but did not mention the civilians of Fallujah and now of Mosul with a single word.

The Syrian army is currently also attacking Kinsibba in Latakia but they have to deal with TOW-"rebels". Battles in Damascus continue. An offensive at Palmyra against ISIS with hundreds of Iraqi fighters supporting the Syrian forces is expected to launch soon.
 
The result of the terrorists´ offensive is not yet clear but they announced another offensive to capture all of Aleppo as more terrorists reinforce the Aleppo battlefield.
However, the siege on eastern Aleppo seems not to be entirely lifted but it is still to early to determine as the incoming news are contradicting. Here is a map:

Army and NDF as well as foreign fighters supporting the government are pouring into the battlefield.
The SAA is attacking in northern Aleppo.
This critical situation overshadows the good news from Latakia, were the government forces managed to recapture Kinsibba again:

The current development is very critical in Aleppo. 5 -12K terrorists launched one of the war´s most massive offensive and it is about to wait and see if the Syrian army and their allies are able to restore the supply line or at least maintain the current positions. In addition to thousands of soldiers and fighters, the army also deploys 100 MBT and 400 APC, while the Syrian and the Russian airforces deal heavy damage to terrorists and their equipment.
In Latakia, the absence of Jabhat Fateh Al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra) makes itself felt.

"Although Islamist factions have definitively broken through the SAA’s defensive line in southwestern Aleppo, they are yet to secure a road safe enough for them to reach insurgents in eastern Aleppo.

However, it is indeed possible for Islamist rebels to sneak into eastern Aleppo districts through tunnels and makeshift doorways in the Ramouseh district which is entirely under Jaish al-Fateh and Fatah Halab control.

Meanwhile, the SAA has established a supply road along the Castello-Bani Zaid axis in northern Aleppo. Supply trucks are now able to get through; however, the supply line itself remains dangerously narrow."

"A large Jaish Al-Fateh convoy was destroyed in the vicinity of the Ramousah Artillery Base resulting in the destruction of five armored vehicles while another convoy was wiped out leading to the obliteration of seven armored vehicles manned with anti-aircraft weapons. On Zorbah axis, 11 armored vehicles and transportation cars were destroyed, and another 14 armored vehicles on the Saraqeb-Aleppo route."

In a first result of the terrorist offensive, the siege of eastern Aleppo remains intact due to the army´s fire control over the opened corridor while the government´s counteroffensive has yet to start. If the terrorists, recently hailed as "Aleppo´s last hope" by DER SPIEGEL, the German government´s propaganda bullhorn, fail to achieve anything in Aleppo while abandoning other frontiers, the final outcome will be fully in favor of the Syrian government forces and their allies. Meanwhile, while the SAA prepares for the counteroffensive, the Russian and the Syrian airforces conduct non-stop airstrikes against the terrorists of the former Al-Qaeda group Nusra and its allies.

The renewed terrorist offensive failed. Their average daily losses in southwestern Aleppo are:
- 250 killed terrorists
- 500 wounded terrorists
- 1-2 MBT
- 2 APC
- 7 guns and mortars
- 21 supply trucks (and technicals?)

"Aleppo´s last hope" according to DER SPIEGEL

"The most alarming situation has developed on the south-western approaches to Aleppo where terrorists have created a grouping of about 7,000 gunmen over the week with tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, artillery and vehicles with armament mounted on them,” he (Head of the Main Operations Department at Russia’s General Staff Sergei Rudskoi) said.

This grouping continues to be replenished through terrorists’ reserves, he added.
“The militants are pulling in additional forces from their controlled areas in the provinces of Idlib, Homs and Hama,” the Russian general said.

“Jabhat al-Nousra militants who are calling themselves Jabhat Fatah al-Sham now and units of the so-called moderate opposition that have joined them continue attacks on government forces in to the north and south of Aleppo.”

These attacks are undertaken in order to deliver weaponry and munitions, including explosives, to the city.

According to Rudskoi, militants have lost more than 1,000 fighters to the southwest of the Syrian city of Aleppo over the past 4 days; about 2,000 insurgents have been injured.

“Terrorists are suffering severe losses. More than 1,000 militants have been killed to the southwest of Aleppo over the past 4 days. About 2,000 militants have been wounded. Seven tanks, 8 infantry combat vehicles; 29 guns and mortar launchers and 85 trucks with large-caliber weapons have been destroyed,” Rudskoi said.

He added that the Syrian government troops backed by the Russian Aerospace Forces had focused their efforts on thwart terrorists’ attempts to throw over fresh reserves to Aleppo’s southwestern outskirt,” Rudskoi added.

According to him, strikes are being delivered at places of concentration of militant forces, armored vehicles, artillery positions and convoys delivering weapons and ammunition."

Bleipriester, et al,

Yes, the various iterations of of SAA (as augmented) may not have the leadership and coordination it needs.

The offensive by the army did not take long and the soldiers withdrew from the captured points in typical manner for the assault troopers of the Tiger forces. The news does not reveal, if this was a real failure of a test. Meanwhile, two terrorist counter-offensives were repelled in Latakia.

It may actually be a good idea; just improperly executed. Feedback is sparse.

They are battling quickly replaced captagon-zombies.The zombies are using suicide attacks and mines and hide among civilians. I think the supply routes through Turkey are drying out in the future. If the "rebels" know it, this must be their all-in game for Aleppo.

Look at Manbij, where the SDF has full coalition air support, supply and ISIS is encircled. Hundreds of airstrikes did not yet lead to the capture of the whole city by SDF which is far superior in numbers, as well.
 
While western governments´ figures shed bitter tears and mourn the siege of eastern Aleppo with allegedly up to 300.000 civilians in it, they couldn´t give a rat´s ass about the 1,5 million civilians in government controlled western Aleppo, whose supply line has been cut off by the terrorists´ offensive in southern Aleppo. In response to the offensive, the government is currently building a new road which will be opened to the public soon and used as supply line. Following are images of the government´s quick and consequent reaction. A government of deeds, not words only. Meanwhile an air campaign to chase reinforcement and supply convoys for the terrorists that are heading to southern Aleppo has been launched all over the Idlib Governorate with the Russians conducting over 100 airstrikes yesterday.

"According to an Al-Masdar field correspondent, the new supply road will flow through Naqqarin, Sheikh Najjar, Aleppo Central Prison, Handarat, Al-Mallah, and Castillo."

Syrian Army opens new supply line to Aleppo
 
The army currently storms the Artillery Academy.

"According to a military source, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), led by the Tiger Forces, stormed the northwestern corridor of the Artillery Academy, where they were able to establish control over the entrance and a few points inside the military installation.

However, due to the relative size of the Artillery Academy and the close proximity of both parties, the front-lines are constantly changing, which makes it difficult to determine who controls the majority of the base.

More details to come….."
