New Naval Barrier System Developed In Russia To Counter Drone Boats

ukraine now sees victory as preventing russia from fully occupying its territory, with guidance from finland, which has a similar historical experience. this can be compared to the u.s.’s recent “victory” in yemen.

at least “the good guys” still excel at killing civilians. this reassures their supporters, who have been experiencing a lack of victories since replacing assad with “reformed” terrorists whose notable accomplishments include beheading children.

eva bartlett on mufti hassoun
barrel bombs…
i challenge anyone to say that the mufti issued a fatwa regarding barrel bombs. in response to these liars, this is what his eminence the mufti called for when aleppo was bombarded with the hell cannon, targeting mosques, homes, children, and women. (we and any rational person are against barrel bombs, against the hell cannon, and against the killing of innocents, regardless of their religion, sect, or ethnicity.)

his eminence’s words were that civilians must evacuate, and he urged, not issued a fatwa (and this is a big difference). he did not mention barrel bombs or anything similar.
became the director of the association. even during the current situation, it every month provides 3,000 families with aid, including medicine, food aid, and when needed, school clothes and supplies.

the storage room of mufti hassoun’s mosque in aleppo is crammed full of the association’s aid items, also including mattresses, blankets, and diapers and baby-related items to be given to those in need.
in damascus, mufti hassoun explained further about the association’s charitable work, and the attacks by terrorist factions in aleppo.
“we have two hospitals and ten medical clinics in aleppo. every day, they received between 1,000-1,500 patients. treatment and medicines are free.

terrorists invaded the first hospital, the omar ibn abdul aziz hospital, in the maadi district. it used to have three operating rooms, an mri, and fifty beds. the terrorists stole most of this.
it also had three ambulances, gifts from europe, which operated as mobile clinics. we used to send them to villages around aleppo with both a female and male doctor, for those who couldn’t get into aleppo.
the terrorists stole the ambulances and mounted machine guns on them.

the second hospital, in ashrafiya, has thirteen floors and 250 rooms. the hospital as a building is finished, and the first and second floors are operational as medical clinics. however, it is near beni zeid area, where terrorists are, including many snipers. we stopped further work on and the hospital because of the sniping. some nurses and doctors were killed by the sniping.”
these are some of the medical and charitable initiatives in aleppo which will never make the headlines, as

they defy the corporate lies on sectarianism in syria and a lack of doctors in aleppo they defy the corporate lies on sectarianism in syria and a lack of doctors in aleppo.”
ramadan prayers in the rowda mosque, where grand mufti hassoun used to give sermons. according to his assistant, before the war on syria about 500 women regularly came to pray at the mosque.

“six or so months ago, a mortar hit the mosque. it bounced off the dome and fell outside in the courtyard. there were about 400 children here learning the quran. if it had gone through the roof, it would have killed a lot of children,” he said.
the worshippers at this mosque are predominately sunni, in a city secured by the syrian government. this is notable in that it contradicts the western media’s blatant propaganda about a sectarian war, a “sunni uprising against the government”.

from aziziya district, on july 4, half a kilometer away, the explosion of a terrorist-fired bomb. around 5 pm, this is a busy time when streets are packed with cars and pedestrians; terrorists know they can kill and maim more civilians when attacking at these busy hours. minutes later, an anti-aircraft explosive bullet landed roughly 15 metres away from my aziziya venue. had it landed on one of the parked cars, there would have been many casualties.

a day later, such an explosive bullet killed the mother of an aleppo friend, at her home.

abdul karim assad, 7, has painful face disfiguration from a terrorist-fired mortar which burned his face. under siege at the time, the boy was only treated with basic medical care in a bare-bones hospital in zahra’a. the boy is not originally from nubl, but from idlib, from which his grandfather fled when terrorists invaded. he is another poster child for the terrorism inflicted upon syria.

when i met him in july 2016, dr. antaki continued to be vocal about the media manipulations and flagrant lies about the reality on the ground in aleppo.
“all of the campaigns which were launched by the western media concerned the east part of aleppo, which is the part controlled by the ‘rebels’. all the media reported that the people there are suffering, the buildings are destroyed

and that the syrian government are doing ‘war crimes’. but, what we are receiving in the part controlled by the syrian government is much worse than in the east part. nobody speaks about what is happening in the western part of aleppo. there are not only tens of mortars every day which fell on the western part of aleppo, but hundreds, and every day we have hundreds killed or wounded.

and nobody spoke about it. when the media spoke about one supposed hospital destroyed in the eastern part, one week after, the main maternity hospital in aleppo was hit by bombs sent by the ‘rebels’, and women were killed, and nobody spoke about this.”
dr. nabil antaki gave the following overview of life for the civilians of government-secured aleppo, from mid-2012 until our july meeting.

since july 2012, the main area of aleppo receives every day mortars, bombs and gas canisters, sent by the ‘rebels’ on the civilians living in aleppo. here you have human damage more than there, but less physical destruction, because here we are receiving mortars and gas canister bombs. if a mortar hits the building, it might make a hole the size of a window, but also kill five people at once. in the part of aleppo under the government control, every day we have

dozens of injured and killed.
in late april 2016, terrorists in the occupied eastern quarters of aleppo, as well as then-occupied bani zeid and neighbouring districts, increased their normal bombing campaigns of mortars, gas canister explosives (from household to the the largest size canisters, stuffed with glass, bearings, metal shrapnel), explosive bullets, and powerful foreign-supplied

rockets to from high-tens to over one hundred per day on the heavily-populated areas of aleppo secured by syrof the heightened bombardment, dr. nabil antaki told me:
usually you don’t have just one mortar, you have a rain of mortars: ten, twenty, thirty, and more in a few hours. many people are wounded at the same time. when ambulances bring people to the public hospital, maybe twenty or thirty people arrive at the same time.

the public hospitals lack enough medical staff and equipment. so if you have ten severely wounded persons arriving at the same time at the public hospital, by the time care comes, a victim has time to die.
in his aleppo medical association office, dr. zaher buttal read from his diary statistics on the late april/early may terrorists’ bombardment campaign:
april 23rd: 81 martyrs, 30 wounded.
april 28th & 29th: bloodiest days. 31 martyrs, 75

wounded initial numbers only.
from april 23rd-30th: 120 martyrs, over 800 wounded.
may 3rd: 25 martyrs, 100 wounded (including 3 women killed in the al-dabeet maternity hospital explosion).
although the aleppo medical association documented the daily number of killed and injured by this increased bombing campaign, and although the areas attacked included a number of registered aleppo hospitals, corporate media and wall street-backed “human rights groups” in

according to the medical association’s dr. zaher buttal. the three women killed were in the al-dabeet hospital reception at the time, said dr. dabeet. one of the injured included a 28-week-pregnant woman who survived the loss of long sections of her intestine due to shrapnel injuries.
the operating room was destroyed, along with patient rooms, five of ten incubators (the other five needing repair), and much of his equipment.

one week later the maternity hospital was again hit by a terrorist-fired mortar, destroying the roof and injuring construction workers there, according to dr. dabeet.
according to dr. zaher buttal, other hospitals hit include the ibn rashd hospital, with a mortar hitting the top floor, the arab medicine hospital, and the perimeter of the razi hospital/

inside his church, a new structure built about a year ago to replace the historic church destroyed by terrorists in years prior, rev. nseir introduced three sunni leaders from the city: dr. rami obeid, dr. rabih kukeh, sheikh ahmed ghazeli.
“these sunni leaders are considered ‘infidels’ by al-nusra and company,” nseir said, explaining that they don’t follow the distorted wahhabi ideology guiding the western-backed terrorist f

actions like the nusra front and others which had been deemed “moderate rebels” and “opposition forces.”
before turning the floor over to these religious leaders, rev. nseir noted:
“when the church was destroyed, the first person to call me was mufti hassoun, who told me, ‘don’t worry, reverend, we’ll rebuild the church.’”

on the afternoon of nov. 3, after meeting with dr. mohammed batikh, director of al-razi hospital, the victims of terror attacks which had begun a few hours prior began to arrive one after another, maimed and critically injured. the vehicle bombings and bombardment of grad missiles, among other attacks, left 18 people dead and more than 200 injured, according to dr. zaher hajo, the head of forensic medicine at al-razi hospital.

the corridors and emergency ward at al-razi hospital, one of two state-run hospitals in aleppo, quickly became clogged with the injured and grieving family members. in one crowded interior corridor, one of the wounded screamed out in pain: “ya, allah! ya, allah!”
in another corridor, a 15-year-old boy with a cast on one leg and bandages on his head, said the mortar attack which injured him had killed his 4-year-old cousin and left his 6-year-old cousin with critical injuries.
