HOW TO DEFEAT THE AL ASSAD MACHINE

Part Three:

After talking to a few "friends" dealing with the events in Syria day by day , I decided to continue the topic of how to counter and defeat the murderous events in Syria.

How to defeat Air field operations.

The Resistance Fighters, although I would recognize them as Freedom Fighters now, have shown the skillcraft of attacking the Syrian Air Force Bases.

The problem was, they were after the intelligence operations there and not the Air Field itself.

Tactically speaking, the best and most basic way to defeat Air Power, ether rotor wing or fixed wing, is to never let it get off the ground.

by simple design all fixed wing aircraft are easy targets to ground, direct fire, operations and the runways are easily targets for indirect fire ops such as mortars.

Simple hit and run operations against Air fields can be conducted from nearly the maximum range of the automatic weapons and still have devistating effects.

Target the fuel farms if at all possible at the same time the aircraft are being targeted.

Once the attack is underway, do not linger!!!  Attack and leave.

Have observers who can spot the reaction forces, for this will allow you to maximize your escape timeline.

Hit the Air Field from more than one direction at the same time.

Have a small element that places fire on the reaction force.

A force under fire moves and apx 20 percent of the speed of a force not under fire.

Rake the area you are firing into. Do not aim at just one target.. This creates far more confusion.

This is big... Do not use ammunition with tracer rounds.

The damage cause by the rounds is great enough when dealing with fixed wing air craft and the tracer rounds only give away one's position.

As I have said before, have a place to hide if you can't get completely away from the attack.

Have the ability to "blend" with the local population at all times.

Leave the weapons if you need to.

You can find weapons far easier than you can replace skilled attack teams.

Night time attacks from a distance that last less than five minutes have a devistating psychological impact on an enemy.

An hour after you are gone, the enemy will still move, act and think you are still there.

Trust me this works!!!  I trained for these type of events for years.
