Hezba je ok takticki, soldino igraju svoje tekme, no operativno nisu ni blizu.
Oni vole lagano i temeljito, 1918 sa novim oruzjem. ISIL na foru uzme vise i izgubi manje, mada je upitno da bi uspio protiv Hezbe da proda iste fore.
Smijesno je ISIL isticati kao najozbiljniju vojsku... Kakav cirkus...
Pesmerge su imale par velikih ofanziva na ISIL koje su trajale najvise dva-tri dana...
1. Ofanziva Singal - pojeli ih za tri dana, oslobodili 2 700 kvadratnih kilometara od 17. do 20. decembra. U operaciji je ucestvovalo 8 000 Pesmergi i brdo tehnike. Tu su jos bile PKK snage, YPG i YBS. Dakle, cifra je iznosila blizu 15 000 boraca. ISIL je zijanio preko hiljadu ljudi.
2. Mosulska ofanziva je trajala najduze, jer je to najvece leglo ISIL monstruma... Trajala je nesto vise od dvije sedmice i razultirala totalnim slomom ISILa i stezanjem obruca oko Mosula. Taj obruc ISIL vec godinu dana ne pokusava ugroziti jer im je potpuno jasno da su slabiji. U akciji je ucestvovalo 5 000 Pesmergi.
On 21 January 2015, 5,000 Kurdish Peshmerga soldiers liberated multiple villages neighboring Mosul, amid speculation that the Iraqi Army was preparing for an assault on Mosul.[1] The Peshmerga forces also disrupted essential ISIL supply routes between Mosul, Tel Afar, and Syria, and they reclaimed over 500 kilometers of land in the region.[1] However, Kurdish officials states that they do not plan to move beyond primarily-Kurdish areas, and that retaking the city of Mosul itself was the responsibility of the Iraqi Army.[1] An estimated 200 ISIL fighters were killed. Among the ISIL militants killed was the new ISIL governor of the Nineveh Governorate.[1] Peshmerga forces also positioned themselves on three fronts to the northwest of Mosul, near Badush Dam. Kurdish forces reported firing 20 Grad missiles into Mosul, upon receiving intelligence that ISIL militants were gathering to meet near the city's Zuhour neighborhood. Firing from about 12 miles north of Mosul, Captain Shivan Ahmed said the rockets hit their targets. ISIL claimed that the rockets hit civilians.[9]
On 22 January 2015, the US increased its number of airstrikes near Mosul to a record number of 16. The airstrikes struck two large ISIL units, two ISIL tactical units, an ISIL building, an ISIL mortar team, and destroyed six ISIL culverts, two ISIL bridges, three ISIL buildings, an ISIL artillery system, 11 ISIL vehicles, an ISIL fighting position, six ISIL staging positions, two ISIL heavy weapons, an ISIL VBIED, and four ISIL armored vehicles.[12] The Royal Canadian Air Force has also destroyed numerous ISIL targets around Mosul in support of ground forces.[3]
On 23 January 2015, the heightened US airstrike campaign continued, with 8 airstrikes bring carried out in and near Mosul. The airstrikes struck three ISIL tactical units and a large ISIL unit, and destroyed seven ISIL vehicles, two ISIL VBIEDs, an ISIL bulldozer, four ISIL buildings, an ISIL artillery system, an ISIL heavy weapon system, two ISIL armored vehicles, an ISIL shipping container, and an ISIL bunker.[12]
On 27 January 2015, ISIL launched a surprise attack on the oil-rich Kurdish city of Kirkuk, in an attempt to draw Kurdish Peshmerga fighters away from Mosul.[13] However, Peshmerga forces managed to staunch the attack and regain some lost territory in the region, with the US ramping up their airstrikes near Kirkuk to 19 on 1 February 2015, in response to the ISIL advance.[14]
On 4 February 2015, Jordan began launching airstrikes on ISIL positions in Iraq, in retaliation for ISIL's brutal killing of Jordanian pilot Muath al-Kasasbeh. The airstrikes killed 55 ISIL militants in Mosul, including a senior ISIL commander known as the "Prince of Nineveh."[4]
On 6 February 2015, an RAF Tornado GR4 patrol worked closely with a coalition surveillance platform to provide air support for Peshmerga forces, who were engaged in close combat with ISIL terrorists near Mosul. When an ISIL mortar position opened fire on the Peshmerga, the Tornados responded with a Brimstone missile, scoring a direct hit.[15]
On 9 February 2015, John Allen, the U.S. coordinator for the international coalition against ISIL, stated that the Iraqi Army, backed by Coalition airstrikes, will launch a ground offensive “in the weeks ahead” to regain the territory lost to ISIL, including the city of Mosul.[16] On the same day, Coalition sources reported that the Peshmerga had recaptured additional territory near Mosul.[17]
On 10 February, it was revealed that Peshmerga forces were only 6 to 9 miles away from the city center of Mosul, in the northwestern outskirts, and that they had managed to retake the Nineveh plains area (more specifically, the majority of the Tel Keppe District) to the northwest of Mosul.[18] However, the Kurds stated that they were waiting for further orders to enter the outskirts of Mosul city.[18]
3. Jedna od nekoliko ofanziva u siroj regiji Kirkuka. Ekspresno ih pomeli...
KIRKUK, Kurdistan Region – The Kurdistan Region’s Peshmerga forces completed an operation Friday that pushed militants of the Islamic State group (ISIS) out of areas south of Kirkuk, military sources told Rudaw.
An area of approximately 150 square kilometers was recaptured from the militants as Peshmerga forces pushed back militants from 13 villages, the sources said.
Three peshmarga were killed and 21 wounded in the operation, including Muhammad Haji Mahmoud, a well-known Kurdish Peshmerga commander and leader of the Kurdish Socialist Party.
The Peshmerga have remained a bulwark against ISIS expansion in northern Iraq, ever since the militants attacked the Kurds in August last year, igniting a war in which some 1,200 Peshmerga have been killed, according to official figures.
4. Ostale ofanzive u Kirkuku, Gveru, Makmuru, Amerliju su trajale veoma kratko i ISIL je svaki put pregazen uz minimalne gubitke...
Protiv Pesmergi ISIL je napravio uspjeh jedino na planini Singal, kada su iznenada napali... Tu su zakazale njihove obavjestajne sluzbe, kao i sluzbe njihovi 'zapadnih prijatelja'... ISIL je na faktor iznenadjenja napao, a nespremne Pesmerge se povukle, jer su smatrali da se ISIL nece usuditi zaratiti sa njima. I eto, pomeli su ih par mjeseci poslije za tri dana u velikoj ofanzivi. Pocetni uspjeh su ostvarili u Gveru i Makmuru. Radi se o napredovanju od par kilometara, o zauzimanju dva malo veca sela. Oba mjesta su Pesmerge vratile za jedan dan kada su se konsolidovali. I eto, na to su spali ISIL uspjesi protiv Pesmergi. Na faktor iznenadjenja su uzeli Singal KOJI NIJE U SASTAVU KURDISTANA, te dva sela, Gver i Makmur.
Ukupno je trebalo PET DANA (5) da ih otjeraju sa tog podrucja.
I evo, vec mjesecima Pesmerge posmatraju sta se desava... ISILu ne pada na pamet da ih napadne bilo gdje. Imali su nekoliko ofanziva na Gver, Makmur i Kirkuk, ali su svaki put totalno pregazeni. Imaju na netu video zapisi i izvjestaji tih ISIL ofanziva, koje su rezultirale sa stotinama mrtvih i zarobljenih na njihovoj strani. Vidjeli su da ne mogu pa su se pritajli. A o napredovanju prema Erbilu, Sulejmaniji, Duhoku nikada nije bilo rijeci... pa to ni u snovima ne bi moglo proci...
