To be honest those aircraft are not air-worthy but they should have destroyed them before retreating. Some of the captured aircraft can be repaired and can fly again.
There is discontent among the YPG forces. High officers who are tightly leashed by the US oppose fighting the SNA but lower officers and high officers from the mountain cadre fiercely oppose this idea. They are launching infiltration attacks towards the SNA.

Hama is liberated from the regime forces. Although quick, the fighting was fierce and I don't expect an immediate Homs operation. The rebels were quick to seize the momentum after the fall of Aleppo but this time I expect a pause and reorganization period before making a move on Homs. I expect...
Those areas are on the east side of the Euphrates River. Those areas are acting like a bridgehead for the regime and YPG is reluctant to attack which might sour relations with the regime. I think the regime will pull the troops and the YPG will occupy empty space without much hassle. The current...
In the north there is no Ain Al Arab (Kobane) offensive as of now. A Manbij offensive will likely occur in the upcoming days.
In the South, the advance on Hama continues. The regime stationed most of its remaining force in Hama around Qamhane and Zeinel Abidin Mountain, so I doubt we will see a...
Manbij is surrounded and can only be supplied by 2 bridges on the Euphrates river. If SNA blows up those bridges Manbij is basically cut off from the rest of the YPG areas. After Manbij falls there will be a similar situation for Ain Al Arab (Kobane).
Only the F-16 version of MURAD is finalized right now. F-16 version won't see any changes including cooling. Even though a MURAD prototype is flying on Akıncı, Akıncı version is still not finalized.
Kızılelma and a possible Anka-3 version will be different as those will work fully compatible...
SNA liberated Tel Rifat town. Specialists started clearing mines and IEDs. SNA consists of 5 Corps each consisting of ~20k soldiers. Total force when fully mobilized is around 80-100k. 2 of the 5 Corps are stationed East of the Euphrates River inside the Peace Spring operation area 3 Corps are...
Yeah, this is very close to the info I have. The end-to-end efficiency of Murad radar is given from %35-%39 depending on broadcast frequency. 4.5 kW liquid cooling cools the radar antenna, modules and back-end hardware while military-grade fans and heat pipes cool the LRUs associated with the...
SNA liberated Minnag village and Minnag airbase. PKK/YPG defense lines are breached and several tunnels are captured. Numerous prisoners are taken. Tel Rıfat is about to fall. I expect Manbij op after Tel Rifat is secured.
SNA also secured Al Khafsa, circling Manbij from the south and cutting...
Until we see a serious move, it is pure speculation. And I really doubt Congress will be friendly to us. Especially while Israel is openly hostile to us.
I heard slightly different things about that issue. Murad has state of the art efficiency which means less power is turned into heat. Also since it is a pulsed radar, the average power is way lower than the total theoretical output power (1152*30W=34.56 kW).
Assume that we have 2 incandescent...
Opposition forces left Hama because the distance between the advance spearhead and the rest of the forces was growing, which put a logistical strain on the attacking force. This will give time reinforcements to catch up and there was constant advance for the last several days there has to be a...
It has nothing to do with the US politicians there is a law in effect regarding the F-35s. It is passed by the Congress there is no one in the US including the president that can deliver F-35s to us. Only the Congress can repeal the law.
