[THREAD] Soon it'll be the 4th anniversary of Jabhat al-Nusra and allies seizing Idlib city & pushing loyalists out of the province in what was their last successful offensive before the Russian intervention. I'll be highlighting all the SVBIEDs that were used in this thread
On March 24, 2015, Jabhat al-Nusra (JaN) & Jund al-Aqsa (JaA) each used 2 SVBIEDs based on BMP-1 armoured personnel carriers, striking Syrian loyalist checkpoints surrounding Idlib city (Ar-Raam, Ayn Shib, Qalah, etc.) before seizing the city 4 days later 
After consolidating their gains, Jabhat al-Nusra pushed on the next month and managed to capture al-Qormid military base near Mastouma by using 3 SVBIEDs based on BMP-1s between April 22-27, 2015.
Parallel to the assault on al-Qormid, Jisr al-Shughour had been seized after an SVBIED attack. The remaining loyalists were besieged in Jisr al-Shughour hospital. Here, Turkistan Islamic Party (TIP) used 3 SVBIEDs in 2 weeks (2 heavy trucks & a BMP-1) before seizing the hospital
The inter-rebel cooperation (JaF) and the combined use of SVBIEDs during the Idlib offensive was unprecedented. 13 SVBIEDs (8 of which were based on BMP-1s) were used in a period of 54 days. JaN & allies would also seize Abu Duhur AB in Sep. 2015, before stalling offensively
