Just heard about the Kirkuk disaster, my God. 13 members of Federal Police Special Forces gone just like that. 1 of them was an orphan all his life and a veteran in the war against ISIS.

Bloodiest weekend I can recall, 4 from Iraq Army in Kirkuk also KIA. 4 of the Federal Police were killed when ISIS attacked their checkpoint, another 6 died in an IED blast during the reinforcement call, and the rest died after the FedPol got into a situation with low ammunition. Talks that communication lines were down during initial assault.

Lmao people really trying to pin the Ammonium Nitrate on Hezbollah.

You know that Mozambique stopped buying fertilizer from Georgia after 2015 right?

Some research yielded a 2012 PDF regarding a fertilizer initiative in Mozambique. africafertilizer.org/wp-content/upl…

I'm actually compiling a list and trying to acquire logos, but this is about to be one very long thread. First of all, I won't go into full detail about the main combat brigades with numbered units or the Tribal PMF. Usually every Brigade has about 3-5 battalions and a Special Missions Platoon as well as Engineering. Other units are so big they have their own Armor.

The hit point at the very bottom is in the Iraqi section of Al-Assad near the Su-25 tarmac. Don't misunderstand: I'm not saying an Iraqi aircraft was potentially hit. The images showed mainly the rotary wing and part of the UAV storage. No idea what Coalition fixed-wing units are active in Al-Assad besides Logistics.

Alright I have to separate these updates from the Anbar thread since this is apart from Anti-ISIS operations.

I will import related tweets and start updates in the replies.

Tell me more about the Sky News crew being deliberately targeted amid medium-range combat when the BMP they were filming belonged to HTS which proves they were on the same grounds as them.

You think those numbers mean nothing? So this is what it's come down to huh? middleeasteye.net/news/charities…

HTS is designated as terrorist organization by the UK. Official government document can be viewed here: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…
