http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/02/18/us-syria-crisis-usa-missiles-idUSBREA1H0YI20140218(Reuters) - The United States is opposed to the supply of shoulder-fired missiles, capable of taking down warplanes, to rebel forces in Syria, a senior Obama administration official said on Tuesday.
The official, traveling with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry in Tunisia, was responding to a report in the Wall Street Journal on Friday which said Saudi Arabia had offered to give Syrian rebels Chinese man-portable air defense systems, or MANPADS, and anti-tank guided missiles from Russia.
The newspaper cited an Arab diplomat and several opposition sources with knowledge of the efforts.
The Obama administration official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, "The administration remains opposed to any provision of MANPADS to the Syrian opposition."
The paper said that Arab allies of the United States, disappointed with Syria peace talks, had agreed to arm the Syrian rebels with more sophisticated weaponry.
The United States has long opposed supplying rebels with anti-aircraft missiles due to concern they may fall into the hands of forces that may use the weapons against Western targets or commercial airlines.
The paper said the Saudis had held off providing such weapons in the past because of American opposition.
Ohhoh! Kyllä siellä näköjään jotain osataan. Mitenkähän ovat onnistuneet tuollaisen tunnelin kaivamaankin? Eikös maaperä ole aika kivikkoista?
Ei ollut mikään päämaja koska ei tullut secondary explosions. Siellä ei ollut edes käsikranaatteja. Monista vastaavista Afganistan videoista näkee että missä oli weapons cache.
Maj. evp:n "eläkkeellä" viettämä aika näemmä hävittää jo ammattitermit päästä. Onhan tuo ymmärrättevää, kun joutuu kaiket päivät hakemaan sotakokemukset youtuben puolelta ja battlefieldistä.Ei ollut mikään päämaja koska ei tullut secondary explosions.

http://www.haaretz.com/news/middle-east/1.575593As Syria's war nears the start of its fourth year, Iran has stepped up support on the ground for President Bashar Assad, providing elite teams to gather intelligence and train troops, sources with knowledge of military movements say.
This further backing from Tehran, along with deliveries of munitions and equipment from Moscow, is helping to keep Assad in power at a time when neither his own forces nor opposition fighters have a decisive edge on the battlefield.
Assad's forces have failed to capitalize fully on advances they made last summer with the help of Iran, his major backer in the region, and the Hezbollah fighters that Tehran backs and which have provided important battlefield support for Assad.

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Syria has submitted a new 100-day plan for the removal of its chemical weapons after failing to meet a February 5 deadline, but the international mission overseeing the operation believes it can be done in a shorter time frame, diplomats said on Friday.
The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons executive committee met on Friday in The Hague to discuss the joint OPCW and U.N. mission amid growing international frustration at Syria falling behind on its commitments.

Tuossa on taas se lentävä konepelti. Onko tuo jätetty tuollaiseksi tarkoituksella, että osuman tullessa tuosta ehkä hieman paine karkaisi, vai miksi noin?
Eihän tuo ohjus edes osunut, vaan lensi tornin ylitse ja räjähti penkassa vaunun takana!Syyrialaiset panssarimiehet eivät ainkaan halua kuolla Assadin puolesta. Näyttää siltä muuten siltä, että kuljettajakin häippäisi tornimiehistön mukana.
