This is the UN Syria needs. A very brave and principled address from @UNReliefChief to Security Council last night

Unprecedented on Syria, O'Brien calls on UNSC members with “operational military assets” to stop bombs on civilians.

@UNReliefChief: “civilians are being bombed by Syrian and Russian forces, and if they survive that, they will starve tomorrow” #Aleppo

@UNReliefChief: only 11 ambulances left in all of eastern Aleppo

.@UNReliefChief: "Blankets are in such short supply that body bags are being used for warmth instead"

.@UNReliefChef: “This litany of horror must surely shake your moral conscience as it does around the world.”

Syria #Aleppo Several failed airstrikes hit regime troops in western #Aleppo

They (the Russians) have blasted away that school in Hass: the Russians know it was them, the West knows it was them, and they all know that enough is enough.

Moscow is meanwhile under verbal assault from all possible directions (except from Western governments): even the UN kicked them out of the HR-council. They know that if they screw up one more time, they'll start facing serious economic sanctions, perhaps even some sort of a NFZ over Syria. So, better stop and not risk another Blamage than provoke even more.

In essence, this shows that even Putler is not trusting himself going too far.

That aside: why should Putler care about Assadists (i.e. Ba'athists), Hezbollah, and the IRGC in Aleppo? He told them to be satisfied with negotiations from February, they insist on 'liberating Aleppo' and 'liberating every inch of Syria'. Even if Putler recently repeated something of this, it doesn't mean he's in agreement and intending to do the same.

HEAVY rebel OPSEC is now in place....last posted videos tend to have stopped about 12-14 hours ago...heavy ongoing fighting with rumors of a new attack axis have barely now popped up but nothing supporting that other than rumors...

Fighting continued through the night and is reported to be heavy again this morning with rebels still advancing and regime forces literally fighting to survive and the western Aleppo civilians caught in the middle which rebels are trying to avoid. Repots that some regime shia mercenaries and Hezbollah troops have broken and fled while others hold out...not confirmed.

Suspect about two new fronts will open up to spread thin the regime forces and not allow them to focus strictly on one or two rebel attack axis.

By intermingling now within the regime held western Aleppo it is far harder for Assad and Putin to conduct CAS without hitting their own troops and civilians...

WEATHER....sunny today which would allow for CAS air strikes....cloudy tomorrow and low overcast....then into a rain front for about three days further restricting Assad/Putin CAS air strikes.

Depending on advances expect some footage to be coming out of Aleppo later this evening.

#pt: At least 20 armed groups are involved so far in the W. #Aleppo offensive - principally Fatah Halab & Jaish al-Fateh factions.

pts: Planning for this latest #Aleppo offensive has been ongoing for 6+ weeks & began solely as a Fatah Halab (non-JFS/AQ) initiative.

pts: The offensive’s early stages were launched last night due to heavy cloud weather expected for coming 24-36hrs, giving some air cover.

pts: Expect intense JFS media coverage, but do not underestimate the role of Fatah Halab factions, both inside & outside besieged #Aleppo.

pts: Latest opposition gains shown on @Sham_Falcons map - substantial advances, but most challenging positions still ahead.

CrowBat.....again the question arises after DAY TWO of fighting......

Is it because of the lack of children among rebel forces, the Russian air force does not intervene on Assad's side in the #BattleForAleppo?!

NO RuAF CAS has yet to be reported over Aleppo....
Don't worry: they are back in the skies over Aleppo and bombing.

The reason they 'apparently stopped' was the usual Russian problem in this war: they didn't know what and where to bomb. As explained months ago in articles like Net-Centric Warfare? Wha's that? (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/net-centric-warfare-whas-tom-cooper?trk=mp-author-card), Here’s the Key to Understanding the Russian Air Force’s Actions in Syria (https://warisboring.com/heres-the-key-to-understanding-the-russian-air-force-s-actions-in-syria-68aa3e4f8d0d#.d36dtzh6a) and elsewhere (including this forum), despite all of their explanations about super-turbo real-time intelligence gathering and whatever else, they need 24-36 hours to react to any major shifts on the battlefield.

Lately, they were so busy massacring civilians, that they entirely missed - never even detected - dozens of huge columns of insurgent units moving on Aleppo. And then they massacred those 22 school kids and their teachers in Hass - and came under unexpectedly bitter public pressure (even if no pressure from Western governments). That gave them a pause.

So, when this offensive came, and regardless how much it was announced, it took them by surprise, and it takes them time to assess what's going on.

This all might sound silly to us, 'armchair warriors' with 'sole connection' to this war via the internet. But, one should always keep in mind: there are immense differences between 'public perception' and 'military realities'. And while any serious student/observer is certainly preferring the latter, it doesn't mean these are always right.

Nowadays, one must add a third aspect to this situation: that of 'reality' and 'internet reality'. As surprising as it might sound (especially for people who grew up without the internet, like me), sometimes the latter is also 'more right'.

#Aleppo

Though not confirmed....
Assadists brought most of the Tiger Force all the way from northern Hama, and then the Suqour as-Sahra, plus next to all of Hezbollah/Syria (Aleppo is the centre of that movement) - and launched a counterattack on JASH (Jaysh ash-Sham) -held positions inside District 3000.

Seems, the JASH fell back.

Now, hungry for any good news, plenty of Assad-fans on Twitter & Co became hysteric and started launching reports about the TF driving all the way into Manyan etc. Is all BS: for example, FASH (Faylaq ash-Sham) repeats all the time, 'all the gains of the last two days are under our control, nothing was lost'.

As said above: they were late, but they are bombing. They're just not bombing civilians in Eastern Aleppo (and, apparently, not those in Idlib either).

Alone the insurgent network of ground observers is reporting take-offs of dozens of VKS aircraft from Hmemmem AB, every single day.

That said, for the Russian to bomb the insurgents, they need fix coordinates. Right now, their FACs are not on the frontlines, because these are fluid. So, what shall they bomb...?

CrowBat....good point but the reports of say strong air strikes on other locations just are not coming in??

So are they landing with a full bomb load after flying circles in the sky or simply dumping them in the desert to keep the strike count high????

He was famed into the sky - for nothing at all. Soleimani was always an 'executor' - of orders from Khamenei and his 'advisors', issued via Vahid (Haghanian, official link between Khamenei and IRGC's generals).

BTW, found you the VKS (i.e. Russian bombers): there are plenty of reports about their activity in Aleppo - but all of these are in Arabic. 'Problem': currently, they're not bombing civilians.

Here a series of Twitter reports by Abdul-Mun'im Zaineddin, activist-journalist who visited the frontlines the last two days (my translations with help of Google Translate, and 'by sense'). Like every decent Arab journalist, he's a 'lil bit poetic', and not entirely factual. And, yes, he's Islamist (although I don't know to what sect he belongs or at least leans towards). But, read his messages below: they're quite clear:

- The news about Russia not supporting the regime in Aleppo with air strikes is not correct. (https://twitter.com/DrZaineddin/status/792854676865748993)

- When Russia was talking about not resuming air strikes, that was for the besieged areas only. As for the frontlines in Western Aleppo, the bombing is intense and non-stop. (https://twitter.com/DrZaineddin/status/792855306392961024)

- All kinds of non-stop bombing on our young men, but despite that, God protects them, and they are determined to continue pursuing liberation and breaking the siege, with the determination of steel. (https://twitter.com/DrZaineddin/status/792856320777027584)

Have not seen this level of no reporting in awhile...It's quiet - on English-language platforms, and primarily because the regime cut off all the internet in Aleppo Governorate. Arabic- and Farsi-language Twitters are abuzz as always. It takes time to sort out and digest all the info they're providing.

Here one of newest pointers.

Before anybody continues to read this post - please first check the photo I attached below. Take a good look at it.

By side that it's showing three of (entirely useless, as always) Assadist top generals in command of whatever is left of BPM and NDF militias inside Aleppo. But: pay attention at the map hanging from the wall in the background; pay attention at the set of blue arrows on the left side of that map - and mind: blue denotes insurgents/jihadists.

Interpolate that map with any of the maps showing battlefields in Western Aleppo of the last few days.

Yes, that's right: these arrows are going through al-Assad District, District 3000 and all the way to Eastern Aleppo...

Now, the first time I saw this map was 1-2 days before the latest JAF offensive on Aleppo. Didn't pay a lot attention at it at the time. But, this photo is actually very important. It shows that Assadists had precise details of the insurgent offensive long before this was launched (on 28 October).

Feel free to draw your own conclusions now.

Mine is: neither Russians, nor the IRGC, made any kind of use of such excellent intel.

Why?

Because:

1.) Putin and his generals are a bunch of braggard egomaniacs with illusions of grandeur. Their operation in Syria was never about anything else but their egos (and, given the big fanfare about their aircraft carrier heading there, I find it difficult to believe they've seen the light). They have no command over anybody in Syria, they have no intel, and - except for bombing civilians - they have no idea what to hit there.

2.) IRGC's generals are a gang of outright stupids; IRGC-supremacists too incompetent but to realize that their conviction that religious zeal can overcome any obstacles at war is just a huge fail. Their stupidity serves Khamenei's purpose though, so he's letting them play with billions in money and thousands of lives of people dumb enough to follow. But, on the battlefield, they are entirely useless: it's since longer in this war that any kind of purposeful planning can be expected from them. If they can achieve anything nowadays, then only through deploying ever more troops and firepower to Syria.

3.) Assad's generals are the same bunch of corrupt criminals they always were: they are so incompetent in military-related affairs that the only fitting description coming to my mind is that of characters unable to walk and chew gum.

4.) The only 'military service' of any kind of worth there (on the side of Assadist regime) is their Syrian military intelligence.

But, what's the worth of a service to which nobody listens?

Back to Russians and the story about them 'not flying and bombing any more'. That's pure hogwash.

Yes, they ceased bombing civilians. But the only reason they stopped doing this is because of harmful effects Putler is no longer willing to accept. See: massive backlash for massacres of civilians.

However, as pointed out above (see the series of Twitters from that Syrian journo), they are bombing. Here additional evidence in this regards: a video showing the eastern side of District 1070, as seen from the Artillery School in Southern Aleppo.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qBZlkUDizc

Between others, one can see IRGC-operated 2S1 Gvozdika shelling positions of TIP-jihadists (Turkistan Islamic Party) on the eastern side of the District 1970. They do so because the NE corner of that District is still held by IRGC jihadists, and there is a bitter battle going on there since yesterday.

Now, pay attention at the period 3.15 to about 3.30 or even longer in that video: you can clearly hear the sounds of a jet, and see a series of detonations typical for a CBU.

Then ask yourself: what's the only air force in Syria deploying CBUs?

ThisistheSAA - mostly foreign Shia jihadis paid for by #Iran. Highly sectarian #foreignfighters, fighting for a regime Syrians have refused to fight for
Sigh... FSyA still has s..t-poor PR... This list is obsolete, large number of sectarian militias are missing, some of IRGC-controlled Iraqi militias are not in Syria any more, and some of 'entries' are double (that aside, everything is in quite some disorder). Just a few examples:

- 'Palestinian Popular Struggle/Front' = is umbrella organization, which is including the Liwa al-Qods (presented separately)

- 'Palestinian Liberation Army' = is umbrella organization, which is including such units like the Quwwat al-Jaleel (also presented separately)

- 'al-Ba'ath Battalions' = is a part of the Ba'ath Party Militia, which has four different brigades (including such like the Ba'ath Commando Brigade, presently fighting in Western Aleppo)

- 'Iranian 65th Brigade/Green Helmets Unit' = was an expeditionary unit consisting of elements from various commando/parachute and special forces outfits of the regular Islamic Republic of Iran Army. It was deployed in Syria in period March-June this year, and is ever since back in Iran (not only that it got mauled in only major operation it launched, but the IRGC doesn't like the regulars to steal its show).

- 'al-Qods Force' = is part of the IRGC (i.e. organization wrongly presented as a separate entry and wrongly termed as 'Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps': correct designation is 'Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps); the IRGC-QF is in turn in control of most of what is left of Assadist military (except Alawites-only militias), plus units like Fatimioun and Zainabioun brigades, plus all of the Hezbollah Lebanon/Iraq/Syria, plus the Arab National Guard, plus the SSNP, BPM, PFLP-GC, PLA and so many of militias of various Iraqi Shi'a jihadists.

- There is absolutely no evidence for presence of Ansar Allah ('Houthis') in Syria.

The essence of the deal will reportedly allow Turkey-backed forces to enter Aleppo and Assad forces will withdraw from the city. The prewar demographic structure would be taken as the base of this project.

Turkey and Russia will not accept the PYD / PKK terror corridor in northern Syria that aimed to include al-Hasakah, Tal Abyad, Ayn al Arab, Jarabulus, Al Rai, Azez, Marea and Afrin under the name of 'federation', 'canton' or 'autonomous region'.

Both countries will fight jointly against the PYD / PKK terrorist group under Turkish military launched operation Euphrates Shield, according to the new deal.

The areas will be handed over to the local elements and local assemblies after being liberated from the terror groups.

'Iran's resistance line extends to Aleppo, not Israel'

Muslim judge of Army of Conquest al-Mohaisany tells Yeni Şafak daily in an exclusive interview that Iran is not resisting against Israel but Syria in Aleppo, and calls the war in Syria a demographic war, not civil war.

A Saudi Arabian religious leader, Abdullah al-Mohaisany, a leader whose popularity recently rose by uniting different sub opposition groups under the same roof in Syria after arriving in the war-torn country, became the Muslim judge of the biggest opposition group, the Army of Conquest. Mohaisany is loved by many people, and gained their love and respect for actively fighting against the terrorists despite being wounded in the clashes. A man being sought by both Iran and the Assad regime, Mohaisany spoke candidly to Turkish Yeni Şafak daily newspaper in Idlib.

Abdullah al-Mohaisany has said that the ongoing war in Syria is demographic war, not civil war, saying that Syria's Bashar al-Assad regime is killing civilians with chemical weapons.

“Civilians are starving. They cannot find any food. Can we talk about any war? The only thing happening is the regime is killing civilians," Mohaisany said.

Iran's 'Safavid project'

Mohaisany said that Iran is not resisting against Israel, saying that Iran's resistance line doesn't extend to Israel, but Aleppo.

“Iran's resistance line starts from Iran and extends till Iraq, Lebanon and Syria. They (Iranian troops backing Assad) commit all their crimes in Aleppo," he said.

“The happenings in Syria, all massacre, killings are part of the 'Safavid project' of Iran. Iran is sending troops to many countries; Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Lebanon and many others. Iran pays a thousand dollars per month to each and every soldier for them to kill the Syrian residents," he said.

SO NOW does the US FBI actively work for Putin as well......?????

Weirder it cannot get.......

FBI's Comey opposed naming Russians, citing election timing: Source

Eamon Javers |CNBC.com

FBI Director James Comey argued privately that it was too close to Election Day for the United States government to name Russia as meddling in the U.S. election and ultimately ensured that the FBI's name was not on the document that the U.S. government put out, a former FBI official tells CNBC.

The official said some government insiders are perplexed as to why Comey would have election timing concerns with the Russian disclosure but not with the Huma Abedin email discovery disclosure he made Friday.

In the end, the Department of Homeland Security and The Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued the statement on Oct. 7, saying "The U.S. intelligence community is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of emails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations…These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the US election process."

Always keep in mind: Russians have no say in regards of Syria. Tehran has.

And I can't see anybody in Tehran agreeing with such ideas.

CrowBat... a number of buts....?????

1. then why even announce this via the Turks..which I think is actual based on the media outlet that released it....as there has been a subtle rumor that there was in fact a "deal on Aleppo" coming out of the rebels themselves....maybe rumors maybe not

2. not so sure after the higher than normal loses from the Iranian side with the tons of money which should have flowed into their individual corruption pockets now going to pay mercenaries instead of their bank accounts

3. truly believe there is a far deeper sectarian violent divide coming that Russia is detecting and does not want to push further due to their very large Muslim population at home....signaled by Mosul moves by Shia militias heading to Tal Afar and KH moving into Mosul a US named terror group that CENTCOM/Obama have not said a single word about

4. not so sure Russia is in love with Hezbollah and need them to remain quiet around Israel which has now a large Russian population...

5. would place Russia as the sole mediator in this region and pushing overall the US to the side which is their overall main goal...

But overall the timing is unusual to say the least...

Also interesting is the smoke extraction system on the fired T90 tank rounds exhausting literally next to the turret..... basically giving away the actual tank position.....and clearly providing a line for sight aiming point for ATGMs...even if defiladed one would still see the round exhaust smoke...

Those who use the “WW3” ploy - are they not answerable for nothing in terms of risk?Excellent by @FredericHof:

Really powerful paragraph from @FredericHof, revealing the sheer vapidity of U.S. admin's rhetoric on #Syria. Must read:
The sheer volume and eloquence of talk about the inadmissibility of mass murder, the requirement for accountability and justice, and the connection between children dead and ISIS alive may impress those whose lips are moving. But verbosity has had no operational companion. Washington proclaims the abomination that is Syria and then stands to the side as Assad and his enablers do their worst to Syrians, to Syria's neighbors, to Western interests, and to the conscience of humanity. As Russia, the regime, and Iran create military facts by terrorizing children and their parents, the leaders of a hollowed-out West intone piously about there being no military solution for Syria: a non-expiring permission slip for doing nothing while people die.
