Syrian ambush
Hope this was jihadi's and not a refugee column, but either way it was pretty effective.

Being that many of the personnel were evenly spaced while walking I say Jihadi's. The explosions looked like they were a chain of IEDs. Artillery explosions would have been a little more sporadic.
Just a few observations from an armchair General.

Some pretty accurate Int needed for that job.
Great PR/media ops coup for the regime and it's sponsors.
Maybe such Coy+/Batt- sized movements will now be cut down a notch to platoon+/Coy-
It leaves me with more questions than answers, such as:
Which regime sponsor(s) played a role in this directly/indirectly?
Are conditions in Syria ripe for the regime to conduct pseudo operations?
I could imagine conflict longevity combined with regime sponsors own conflict history and concurrent study of military history would allow sufficient time for the regime to develop a pseduo operations capability if local conditions permitted.
Or maybe it's a question of some members of the regime having their backs against the wall and left with no alternative but to win or die. That would certainly be a motivator towards developing competence and capability.
Just my speculation.

Yes great amount if INTEL needed for this. Unless these guys walked this route daily, weekly, etc. Trends are easy to follow, we are human and we set ourselves to them. Way are IED numbers high during these time period, well because..
Must say very well done mechanical ambush IMO.
Yes FLAGG you're right. Who had the backing, sponsorship and within director/indirect actions and rolls. HaHa is Syria RIPE for pseudo operations? You think!?!? Also by who and how many different countries.

Looks as if the body count was 152 - 175, depending on who you talk to.
Quote:
The group put the death toll at 152 fighters, mostly members of “Islamic battalions” and Al Nusra Front, an Al Qaeda-linked rebel faction. The observatory said the ambush was carried out by the combined forces of the Syrian army and Hezbollah, the Lebanese group that has dispatched militiamen to Syria to fight alongside government troops.
The official Syrian news media said the ambush resulted in the deaths of more than 175 “terrorists,” the government's term for armed rebels. Scores of rebels were injured, they reported.

I'm okay with this.
Hopefully, the rebels have enough people left to return the favor.

Somebody pass the popcorn; the "tit for tat" could get entertaining.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

On the up side not only did 150-175 get to meet allah think of the Virgins Gone Wild aspect! (a possible 12,600 to be exact!)

I'd dump a plane load of claymores on them to use on each other if I wasn't worried about them ending up being used against us in another AO...
