“Following the SAA advance in the eastern Homs countryside, government forces are expected to continue its advance towards Deir Ezzor city from the southern Raqqa countryside, where ISIS defenses have completely collapsed”.
If ISIS defenses have completely collapsed, then Logic will have it that the SAA advance should be faster than it is now, isn’t it?
Of course, budi, you ser now, the SDF,downed a airplane from SAA, on souther of Raqqa, then; now…. The real problem ,is the SDF, of course whit USA coalition, for this operation!!!!! I think in that !!!
Very nice :))) I think SAA should just completely seal that border up there with the SDF so they can’t gain more land to the south or allow retreating daesh to escape. Box em in, cut em off, surround em, you name it! They will also be getting closer to DeZ also by doing this I think :))
