SAA and their allies should advance from the left side of the Yarmouk pocket.
At the right side of the pocket are rebels and from the left side should be SAA. Advance from the middle is like to reconcile between two separate groups which will hinder SAA advance.

No, the SAA should continue to split the pocket in two, and conduct strategy as seen fit by the commanders on the ground. The SAA should not take advice from a clueless autistic retard on the internet named “Rob”, who has never been in a warzone in his entire life.

US, UK, France and Saudis are directly dirty in Syrian war..

Erdogan has came out from US/NATO block because they have lost war in Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen etc. and have exposed in Palestine. Russia have started building six nuclear power plants in Turkey. One plant will start production in 2022 with capacity 24 Giga Watts and remaining are underdeveloped. Turkey have purchased S400 air defence system and the delivery will start in 2019. Russia and China will develop nuclear and industrial zones in Turkey. That is why now it is very difficult for Turkey to keep US and NATO forces and their spies on their own land. The future belong to Asia not to US and Europe…..

I note that even one this map you can see the individual streets and houses, you could walk around the whole perimeter of this major enclave easily. Calling the battlefield ‘congested’ and the territorial gains ‘minor’ is a massive understatement when the SAA seems to be literally progressing a city block at a time.
