On 9 March, fighting was once again raging around Al-Majbal hill, near the central prison.[503] By this point, government forces had captured a strategic hill, where they positioned artillery to bombard rebel positions around the prison. The Army had also reportedly captured the eastern Hanano district of Aleppo city and was planning to open a new road that would link Hanano and the industrial zone, after it is captured, thus imposing a blockade on the city.[504]Wikipedia: Battle of Aleppo (2012–present)
Schätzungsweise 70 Mann die sich samt 2 Panzer den Kurden ergeben haben. Und da die Kurden im Gegensatz zu den Tschetschenen keine Barbaren sind, geht es denen heute wohl garnicht mal so schlecht.Ashert001 schrieb:Es soll Überlebende gegeben haben, die wurden aber erst später von der FSA Northern Storm Brigade wieder freigelassen.
About 70 soldiers, who managed to retreat from the base during the battle, surrendered themselves (and two tanks) the next day to Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) forces in the town of Afrin, about 15 kilometers north of the airbase.[12][28]
War is hell, then throw in some mountains and it gets even worse.http://trpintel.myfotojournal.com/page/2/ (Archiv-Version vom 30.03.2014)
Movements have to be quick and covered, so as not to get caught out in the open at negative elevations.Methodical is the word, as it’s easy to take casualties if the attacker fails to identify fighters occupying high ground.
For the defenders, like the Germans found in Italy during WW2, ridges are key to defensive positions as they make it hard to strike with artillery/bombs/tank rounds, because they usually fly long or fall short.
Also, reverse slope defenses negate direct fire and allow for concealment of counter-attack forces. It’s almost impossible to dictate a continuous front line in such terrain, so high-points and choke points(areas that naturally funnel troops into travel paths) are well defended.
For the attacker, it’s all about suppressing the defenders and moving on strategic-points that deny the enemy the ability to retreat under cover. The AA gun becomes your best friend, the 57mm and 37mm (23mm Shilka) become a huge sniper rifle and are able to pick off targets at long distances along the mountainside. Older tanks(T-55/T-62) act as mobile artillery to ascend the mountains and dig into firing points. Guided rockets can hit the numerous caves that line the walls and passes around Yabrud.
Sie wollen wahrscheinlich auch den Zivilisten eine Chance geben.
