Warfare Northwestern Aleppo offensive (2024)

[Fluff]

It seems as Israel is not lucky about fighter jets in jihadies hands...

Well technically their owner has abandoned them. Like an old rusty car left on your street.

Israel is just tidying up the neighbourhood.

Multiple reports that Russian troops are stranded.

I'm sure the US Air Force can give them an escorted lift home.

To put the icing on the humiliation.

Actually, I think it would be really good to NOT have any publicized incidents of either Israeli or US airstrikes killing any Russians.

In the meantime, it is not surprising to me that tactical cleanups are going on….. good to remember that all kinds of actors can activate when the opportunity arises.

By the way, the RAF must be refueling US attack aircraft because one just completed a long journey with some interesting turns from Cyprus out to western Iraq and then back home. Flightradar 24……. So I’m guessing the A-10s are o g out of Saudi?

I figured the A-10s are out of Al-Asad in Iraq, but who knows.

 

[Euroamerican]

I have no inside knowledge of where the participating A-10s might be stationed. Lazily, I did not even look on the web to inquire.

The local A-10 unit in my city is not deployed, however.

What's the combat radius of a fully loaded A-10?

 

[Chazman]

What's the combat radius of a fully loaded A-10?

250-300 miles, fully loaded with loiter time over the target. Al-Asad is 110 miles from the Syrian border.

 

[FLYNAVY]

What's the combat radius of a fully loaded A-10?

Fully loaded, around 250nmi to 290nmi.

 

[Chazman]

Well, no surprise.

Reading plenty of random commentary about this one. Odd thing is from 2011 - onwards and a decade of a bloody mess and civil war no one could even topple Assad, which is in great part thanks to his now host Vlad.

Then a bit over a week of an insurgency the entire Assad clan has to flee to Moscow because of some middle aged men with stubbles to full beard on trucks with AK-47.

In a nutshell : precisely because it has been held since 2011..

yesterday I shared a French thread about it here ....

Zelensky has been to the front many times.
The only front al-Assad has seen is the beach front.

Story goes that Turkey and HTS will allow Russia to keep it's essential Latakia Naval Base as long as Russia don't interfere in HTS and Turkish interest in the Middle East.
