    So Iran supplies MANPADS to a designated terror org in breach of a UN arms embargo even though no air threat in Iraq, no one cares....

    Who's aircraft are they expecting to shoot down? I wonder if the US will complain about MANPADS proliferation here.. https://twitter.com/sarbarzi/status/657925437444747264

    Can someone remind me again of why shia iraqi militias are not a threat or dangerous with MANPADS but #FSA are?

    BREAKING: Lavrov urges Syria regime, rebels to hold talks on new elections - AFP

    TYPICAL Russian disinformation----who will vote--- does it include all refugees outside Syria and WILL every single Syrian be allowed to vote to include IS controlled areas?

    OR is it just limited to Assad controlled areas???

    WILL Assad be in the elections??? YES was the Russian answer three days ago--by statements from their FM and Putin.
    Russia bombs FSA HQ's & tries to destroy FSA in Homs that has been there since 2011 & now they're like "let's talk" 2 words, TOO LATE!

    Reference Assad info warriors.........

    I don't get it with these assadists/putinists. None of us bother to stalk them or their stupid websites to write them comments mainly because of how ridiculous & stupid their lies are that even a kid would be able to suss out the contradictions & fabrications yet assadists/putinists stalk us & every website or blog that criticises their regimes. Now to me that just shows how desperate they are.

    Their job is to distract you frm productive reporting & waste your time. Could call'em "flakkers".They throw up flak fr regime.

    That's the point. Wear people down w/ a cacophony of nonsense peppered w/ fragments of reality until they don't trust anything.

    Russian propaganda rule called the 6Ds.......
    distrust, distract, dismay, distort designed to create doubt

    There is a PFLP and the PFLP-GC. Both used to enjoy support of Assadist regime, but the latter remains in Syria and began receiving IRGC's support. It has established a brigade (originally claimed to have 4,000 combatants, 'primarily recruited form the West Bank'), that's fighting for NDF/IRGC-QF.

    Also from the TOW long shot videos--it appears that the insurgents are risking more extreme distance shots by reaching the maximum shooting range and then on the final aim allowing it to break the guide wires and then the missile runs straight and true getting another 3-500m or so out of it before impacting.
    When one has a good supply they are used more often, so also for taking 'risky' shoots.

    That said, most of TOWs fired the last few days were actually fired from rather short ranges: often from less than 1,000m.

    Anyway, photo/video count for this week (i.e. since 17 October) resulted in conclusion that 21 AFVs operated by NDF/IRGC/Hezbollah were knocked out. These are including 4 BMPs destroyed and 1 captured by insurgents, and 14 MBTs destroyed and 2 captured by insurgents.

    CB--thanks--the PFLP-GC ---hate to ask the religious question are they mainly Sunni or Shia since a majority of the units fighting for Assad appear to be Shia and who is paying the fighters??

    BTW--any idea as to what the IDF was up to late yesterday on the Golan-- a lot of chatter but still silence from the IDF?

    Well now we fully understand just why the IDF was busy yesterday-----can Syria get any stranger????

    Israel says citizen, likely Arab, used paraglider to enter Syria http://reut.rs/1S3NV6G

    Well we did have motorized paragliders land in West Berlin in the 80s.....and Soviet military radar never picked them up......

    From Russia Today info war media outlet.

    RT ✔ @RT_com

    BREAKING: Syria's President Assad ready for early elections - Russian delegation to Damascus
    http://on.rt.com/6umd pic.twitter.com/zkJwgLaWCV

    SO just how does one hold an election in a country with an active war, fluid war fronts, and 11 million refugees both inside and outside the country--does this include areas controlled by IS as well--so if they cannot vote--is the vote legal at all?

    WHAT.... peace is going to break out just to hold an election where 300K have been killed and 1.2M wounded trying to throw out Assad in the first place???

    SO-- the election is going to held only in territories held by Assad?...well that is the Russian definition of "democracy" at work.

    SO who is going oversee them--what the Russian FSB and the Syrian Security Services???

    Just another gimmick to distract and distort.
