Collected conflict videos
« on: July 16, 2018, 08:25:17 PM »
All here is where I will post conflict videos form all over the world.
I will select those that seem to have some educational value.. and illustrate actions and formations typical of civil wars.

The first one is done by ANNA (Abkhazian News Network) Abhkazia is a small prorussian enclave itself in rebellion against Georgia.

However they travel the road and bring lots of close up footage of modern civil War especially in Middle East.
This piece is done where their team is embedded with Syrian Gov't forces and is reporting on the slug for a strategic city.

lets study and discuss together.

(Moderators for better visual selection value by members please help me with the embedding, it's not working for me)

Another one.. When watching these vids it will really drive home how blind a tank is the moment after he fires his main gun (dust!) Good thing to remember:

Some background about the battle in the first vid.

The Siege of Deir ez-Zor:

A group of SAA ( Syrian Arab Army) and Syrian Air Force were surrounded by Islamic rebels in the city. Their defense area was centered by an airfield via which Syrian govt parachuted in supplies.
The siege lasted 3 years.

First it was Al nusrah and other Islamic militias but then ISIS/ISIL took over and continued the siege.

SAA: Syrian Arab Army (= Govt forces)
Al Nusrha : the most radical islamist rebels until ISIS came into being.
Free Syria Army : Western Supported rebels who fight Al-N, ISIS and SAA

SAA fights all other parties but has support of Hezbollah militias and Iranian Al-QUDS force (roughly could be called iranian Spec Ops) and has possession of the military hardware (tanks , planes Artillery) of the a national gov't. Low on men but for this reason much better equipped than other groups.

The first Vid shows the breaking of the siege by SAA after 3 years and the rescue of Syrian Army personnel from certain torture/death.

Battle of Aleppo. The first 3.5 minutes or so are mostly footage of just big guns shooting.. not much to learn there... but the rest shows some interesting drone footage of battle and movement..

Interesting interview with "rebel" troop in East Ukraine Donetsk People Republic (one of the pro russian entities there)
Interestingly his opposing forces he mentions are all also the volunteer battalions rather than regular Ukrainian Army. Militia battalions have been very effective in this war on all sides.

More pro russian rebels in Ukraine. ..based on their full uniforms, rigs, radios, you can tell these are likely among the best the rebels field. This was a Recon group conducting harassment mission of Gov't positions.

To keep it balanced here are some Pro-Ukrainian gov't forces:

The first couple minutes are mostly pre combat actions... I recommend starting around the 2:40 mark. Videos shows a Company size element advancing into a lightly built up area. Original Unit is part of "Donbass" Battalion but I also identified patches from the famous "Azov" battalion so this is likely part of a bigger action.
