Syria - Force 175 of the Assad army using katyusha rockets to pound towns near Daraa (16/11/12)
 Part of channel(s): Syria (current event)

Leaked cellphone footage from the SAA Force 175 using Katyusha/Grad or similar MRLS to pound the towns around Daraa. We all know rockets are far less accurate and more deadly than artillery, so what's wrong here? Did Assad run out of Artillery and mortar bombs?

Please, someone who supports Assad, please try and explain this.

  • Poor little Rasengan, he though SAA had run out of weapons and ammunition, while all the time we were holding them back.
    Now your little terrorists will dance to the music of Stalin's orgue.
    Tell us Rasagen why are you not posting videos about Palestine? Especially that Hamas are salafi muslims like you. Are you a coward?

      Well, Syrians claim that they are fighting against terrorists so why don't you explain to me why they use BM-21s on them? They are kind of inaccurate unless you are shooting at a target that is about the size of a town. IIRC rocket salvo from those will cover an area 100 meters deep and 300 meters wide. And where this 100*300 zone of death will land is usualy very hard to tell untill it lands.

  • Did Assad run out of Artillery and mortar bombs? The answer is No! But it's time to increase the heat on the rebels. Btw many weapons in the Syrian army's arsenal are not being used yet.

  • I support Assad ! And They are Attacking FSA positions, ofcourse it's not that accurate but thats a war! Same to IsraĆ«l on Gaza never heard someone say They are pounding civillians.

    • @Muslim4EVER

      Double standards. Bought western media will never say how many civilians died in attacks made by Israel. Yet they'll always talk about how Assad is killing civilians.

      There are tons of videos/pictures on Bestgore where anyone can see that FSA are the actual terrorists and executioners of innocent civilians, rapists of women and kids.

    • @Muslim4EVER

      Realy? Then tell me how would you react if Israel used BM-21s against Hamas? BM-21 used the same "Grad" rockets as Hamas shoots at them (and Israel has them as Syrians and Egyptians left them to Israelis when they found it more traditional to flee on foot). Would you say "ofcourse it's not that accurate but thats a war!". Or would you scream like a girl about "indiscriminate attacks"?

    • @cherom

      Double standards indeed. Least around here in Finland press keeps constand score on casualties caused by IAF air attacks.

      Double standard exist in what is considered "indiscriminate". If Israel hits some Hamas leader and kills him along with his family. That is usualy called "Indiscriminate" as "innocent civilians" died. If Assad uses BM-21s on some town then it is "just war" and you ignore casualties as terrorists.

    • @Sjumppanen Assad is not fighting with Civillians but with Rebels from Afghanistan, Libya, Qatar Saudi etc etc! They are fighting from the inside of cities so That's why Assad can't use The huge weapons Otherways All cities and all civillians would be hit harder, the only things Assad's army can use know are jets , tanks and Infantry, but no Surface tosurface rockets.. Assad is the good guy if you compare him with the rest of the presidents.

    • @donburke they might kill a few FSA, but it will be mostly innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.

    • @jaxkf101 collateral damage. thats what our government says to dead cicilians. Or in other words shit happens, who cares. They arent worth a shit. Assads troups arent worse than any other army. War is not a game and therefore has no rules.

    • @jaxkf101 so its like when the "rebels" shoot at the syrian military then, only in a smaller scale?

    • @stillstand keeping civilian deaths to a minimal should be one of the highest priorities to any Army while on operations. If they want to keep the people on the their side that is. The Syrian army has gone past the point of caring if they kill FSA or civilians. That is far worse than 'shit happens'.

    • @jaxkf101 you said it: "should be". It is not the highest prioritiy to no army. In the end the highest priority is the successful mission - to wipe out the enemy. Morality can be a hindrance.

  • Explain this?

    You mean explain why you claim they are shelling towns?

    Simple. It's because you are a lying propagandist!

    Assuming this is even in Syria (a big assume) And assuming this is in any way current (another big assume) then most likely they are interdicting enemy force concentrations and supply lines.

    There is no military value in shelling towns.

  • And no lol Assad did not run out of missiles and Other expensive weapons, they are saving them for The NATO.

  • Explain it? Hundreds of thousands possibly millions of Syrians have fled the fighting across the multiple porous borders, after what almost 2 years of fighting some towns/villages are left abandoned by all but the most determined residents while despite this such villages/towns aren't empty, they're full of terrorist scum who've just received nice new shiny weapons from Saudi-Arabia and Qatar and France and other states, and are gathering to launch an attack on another nearby town/village under More..

    • @hushver

      Every nation on earth controls its votes. The systems may look and behave differently, and sure richer nations may appear to offer a superior democracy, but only appear to do so with all the money they pour into the advertising, money which could be spent on the people and needy in their own nations is instead spent to forward their own political careers.

    • @MurkyFogsFutureLogs and the only way to stop them is to go to war with the rich or just live your life as a low life and let them live in a high life

  • no need to panic people, the katyusha rockets can differentiate between combatants and civilians
