Changes noted in SVBIED design by IS in the Hajin pocket:
• Exterior frontal aimed IEDs on all 3 recent documented examples, a previously extremely rare detail
• Raised & dispersed rear & mid payload w/ mid part aimed 45 degrees to the front on 2 most recent examples
In yesterday's IS release from the Hajin pocket, another up-armored SVBIED with exterior frontal IEDs could be spotted, the 4th such example seen in the Hajin pocket - h/t @CalibreObscura
Today, the 5th recorded example of an up-armored SVBIED with frontal exterior IEDs was seen in an IS photo report from around Hajin hospital. First example based on an SUV - h/t @SaladinAlDronni
IS up-armored bulldozer (likely an SVBIED) captured by YPG near Hajin 2 days ago - h/t @NotWoofers
IS up-armored SVBIED w/ exterior frontal IEDs captured by YPG in IS forward hide site in Hajin. 6th SVBIED w/ exterior frontal IEDs seen in Hajin pocket. 2nd using SUV shell & first (!) to receive desert paint job. Highest quality example yet - h/t @ciyager_rojava @NotWoofers
Another IS up-armored (4x4) SVBIED w/ exterior frontal IEDs discovered by YPG in IS forward hide site inside Hajin city. 7th SVBIED w/ exterior frontal IEDs seen in Hajin pocket, this one the first example w/ only 3 exterior frontal IEDs - h/t @NotWoofers

With 2018 in it's last moments, a new stage of the Syrian war have started & the end of the war is aproaching as time passes. 2018 has been another important year with many political & military developments: (1)
#AbuDhuhur Op (26/12/2017 - 9/2/2018) : as a continuation of the operation (started on October 2017) #SAA began huge offensive from many axis against Rebels & #ISIS in #Hama, #Aleppo & #Idlib provinces. The result of operation was the liberation of 1/3 of "Greater #Idlib" (2)
With W. shore of #Euphrates river secured by #SAA on December 2017, #SDF continued securing the E. one against #ISIS . Between 3/1/2018-22/2/2018 troops secured entire Shu'aytat region. However, a new development N.W. #Syria will provoke the delay of #CizireStorm some months: (3)

#Syria: following unexpected move, Trump ordered withdrawal of US personnel & troops (~2,000) from #Syria. Pullout should be completed within 100 days. reuters.com/article/us-usa…
#Pt. Apparently Trump took decision to withdraw US troops from #Syria after phone call with Erdogan, de facto greenlighting in short term a Turkish-led Offensive vs #SDF & #YPG.
Following US decision to withdraw troops from #Syria:
- Regime reinforcements heading to Manbij & #DeirEzzor (deal w/ SDF-YPG likely)
- Maghaweer Thawra seeks evac of ppl from Rukban Camp (Al-Tanf) to N. Aleppo
- Turkey says it is working with US & also Russia + Iran.

Thread:
There was a meeting about 5 days ago between #Coalition & #SDF during which the latter tried to extort support vs #Turkey in return for them continuing their #Hajin ops. According to the source, the Americans became too weary with SDF's "Turkey for IS" quid-pro-quo
"They just want the #Hajin pocket over & down with". The mood was glum and the coalition said they would be supporting SDF Sho'aytat Arabs directly. There would be no pause in operations until #IslamicState is defeated in Eastern #Syria
In fact, for the past 12 days, Coalition has directly provided the Sho'aytat Arabs with ammo, guns and night vision equipment.
The Coalition is to continue to use its "scorched earth" policy in Hajin despite mounting civilian casualties.

Whelp time to get this done. #Thread on the absolutely embarrassing loss that the #SDF just took in the #Hajin pocket.

DISCLAIMER: This thread will contain heavy amounts of salt.
At the time of this tweet, information I received was 3 hours old and attacks were ongoing.

#DMC forces had been forced out of the area in #Susah blocking #Marashidah wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=3… and were holding positions in the Palestine neighborhood
wikimapia.org/#lang=en&lat=3…

DMC retreated to areas with #YPG in this neighborhood. At this time inghimasi units appeared from tunnels behind and within the YPG positions. Because apparently no one had fully cleared the area. This caused a serious issue and caused YPG to retreat.

It's a criminal offence to falsifying a legal instrument. But if the #MetPolice / #LBRUT do it, then there is not even an investigation. 12 years of silence. Evidence to prove it - ukcoverup.com/search-warrant-

#skynews #lbc #theresamay #uk #bbcnews #coverup #c4news #worldnews #ukgov
Welcome to the #Metpolice who also changed & falsified my arrest details. Have a look at the evidence here ukcoverup.com/arrest-details as it's all easy to prove & that's why it's never addressed

Words matter... (1/5)

Notice how words like discovery, design, delivery, build, and run often get coopted to silo / segment / divide teams/ppl

To draw imaginary lines around skills. To protect kingdoms even. To make pretty left to right diagrams.

#ux #design #agile #devops
It is very different for a team to ask a couple of its members to get upstream a bit & do some research/discovery...because it adds value

...than it is to structure your Jira workflow, PMO “process”, or SDLC around handoffs and silos. (2/5)

#ux #design #agile #devops
#design / #prodmgmt are vulnerable to believing their own hype. That by owning “the problem”, they’re staying relevant, and by feeding the delivery machine they’re doing everyone a favor. But this becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. (3/5)
