On November 28, Russian air-defense forces deployed intercepted and destroyed an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) near the Russian Hmeimim airbase in the province of Lattakia, according to local sources.
The intercepted UAV was probably an armed UAV launched by militants in a fresh attempt to attack Russian personnel and aircraft deployed at Hmeimim. The resumption of UAV attacks on Russian facilities in Syria is another sign of the wanng influence of the de-militarization agreement on Idlib province. It’s highly unlikely that radical militants are going to abandon their hostile approach anytime soon if a military operation to punish them is not launched.
Cells of the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) continue their successful attacks on Turkey-led forces in the area of Afrin. On November 26, 4 members of the Hamza Division militant group were killed and 2 others were injured in an explosion of a YPG-planted IED on the road between the city of Afrin and the town of Basuta.
On the same day near the village of Gubele, the YPG destroyed a vehicle of another militant group, the Levant Front with an anti-tank guided missile.
On November 24, YPG members killed 2 Sham Legion fighters and destroyed their vehicle near the village of Birj Heyder.
Successful YPG operations in Afrin show a significant gap in the security system established by the Turkish Armed Forces and Turkish-backed militants in the area.
On November 28, the pro-opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claimed that the US had started establishing the first of its observation posts along the Syrian-Turksih border. The first post is reportedly located near Bir Ashiq in northern Raqqah.
With this move, which was announced by Secretary of Defense James Mattis last week, the US is in fact seeking to prevent a possible Turkish military operation against US-backed Kurdish factions in northern Syria.
“On November 24, YPG members killed 2 Sham Legion fighters”
Well, that’s not much of an accomplishment. Now if they’d been the real thing . . .
I got a feeling the Trump administration is going to be humiliated at the G20, this will have consequences for Syria, Trump will be out to chest thump under instructions from the the Fed. fortunately Turkey is on our side.
You are absolutely wrong yet again. US market is up over 400 points and we are still 12 hours from the open. Even US farmers are partying since every last soybean was just given a one way ticket to China.
Yep Trump capitulated and the Corporate Community cheered, but Putin was on to it and saluted MbS all the bad boys on the same team, couldn’t be a greater humiliation, the Dems will eat Trump alive.
NAFTA had 10 times better prospects for Trump compared to calling off the Trade War, seriously Trump is clueless.
And because you posted that I’m cutting short my holiday from One Political Plaza and going back a sure winner as a Democrat.
Looks like US has chosen sides and Turkey is the big loser while Kurdistan is the big winner.
