[00:00:01] an arms depot, according to initial
[00:00:04] information, in the Al-Eis area in the southern
[00:00:07] Aleppo countryside.
[00:00:14] in the last two months, God is great.
[00:00:23] of this, the storekeeper
[00:00:27] tens of thousands of rounds at
[00:00:34] God is great, young men. This God
[00:00:37] is great.
[00:00:43] God is great. God is great.
[00:01:09] It is impossible to hit has zero effect.
[00:01:20] received information from is launched or it is targeted
[00:01:31] God is great.
[00:01:33] Tuman bridge from
[00:01:38] the nearby villages
[00:01:44] near the site of this So, viewers, we are following these new images of the explosions
[00:01:48] that hit a weapons storage
[00:01:53] an interest. Those who reject integration depot in the Al-Eis area in the southern Aleppo countryside.
[00:01:55] And according to what is clear from the images, there is a series
[00:01:59] of large and massive explosions,
[00:02:03] and the launch of shrapnel and missiles
[00:02:06] Okay. resulting from these explosions.
[00:02:09] The size of the explosions is large,
[00:02:13] as I mentioned, is impossible and as we follow, these explosions
[00:02:16] are near passing vehicles, and also
[00:02:20] from residential areas. And so far, there is no
[00:02:25] explosions, of course, from complete this initial information about casualties or victims.
[00:02:27] the missiles in this We return to Brigadier General Muhammad Al-Baqqa'i. Brigadier General,
[00:02:31] if we follow these images
[00:02:34] of the horror of the explosions,
[00:02:38] if I asked you about the nature of these
[00:02:41] weapons and stored materials that result
[00:02:44] in this or these large
[00:02:47] explosions?
[00:02:51] committees capable of I mean, Professor Hussam, we heard and saw in
[00:02:54] the explosions that there are missiles flying
[00:02:58] Muhammad, are from for tens of kilometers. I mean, if we assume, if we
[00:03:02] assume, and I return, and I return, let me
[00:03:05] let me, in less than half a minute, return a little
[00:03:08] to the topic of the hypothesis of bombing these
[00:03:11] depots by enemy aircraft. Professor
[00:03:13] Hussam,
[00:03:15] I mean, Professor Muhammad Nour, your correspondent,
[00:03:19] if you please, if you please,
[00:03:20] Madam,
[00:03:25] several very important points, I will return to you. Sorry, I will return to you to repeat
[00:03:27] this idea. Muhammad Nour, correspondent
[00:03:31] of Syria TV.
[00:03:34] Al-Asmar talked about I mean, Muhammad, the explosions have returned
[00:03:37] now.
[00:03:39] Talhadiya Yes, Hussam, I mean, the explosions have returned
[00:03:43] at the main bombing site in the Al-Eis
[00:03:46] area with the sound of a very
[00:03:49] huge explosion, followed by two more explosions within
[00:03:53] يعني five minutes from now, a large
[00:03:57] explosion, and also two explosions. At
[00:04:00] the site
[00:04:02] The personnel dealing with
[00:04:04] that the shelling is from of the explosion that occurred
[00:04:04] ammunition and ammunition depots must in the weapons depot in the Al-Eis area,
[00:04:07] now civil defense teams, as
[00:04:10] I mentioned earlier, have reached some
[00:04:13] nearby villages from the explosion site and have not
[00:04:16] recorded any human casualties until this moment,
[00:04:20] and what follows. I mean, we heard the sound
[00:04:24] of the big explosion. I don't know if civil defense teams
[00:04:27] will advance further to the site of the explosion
[00:04:31] or remain in their places because the fires in this
[00:04:35] depot
[00:04:37] systems, and we used to fire them had somewhat subsided.
[00:04:38] know this, my brother. You are dealing A quarter of an hour ago, civil defense and ambulance teams advanced to
[00:04:43] at the explosion the residential areas, and
[00:04:43] and weapons depots. then, five minutes ago, a large explosion occurred, followed
[00:04:47] by two explosions at the same
[00:04:51] site, and the fires reignited
[00:04:54] in the same place. Hussam,
[00:04:57] I mean, perhaps now all the people of Aleppo
[00:05:00] have woken up to these explosions.
[00:05:03] There was, I mean, at the beginning, a state of anxiety
[00:05:07] and fear, to some extent, until they confirmed the location
[00:05:10] of the explosion, because everyone who heard the sounds
[00:05:14] of the explosions said that it was near them, due to the intensity of these
[00:05:17] explosions. But Hussam,
[00:05:21] I mean, as the Brigadier General mentioned,
[00:05:24] I mean,
[00:05:27] we have observed explosions in several
[00:05:30] depots in Syria, in the Binish depot, in the Muhammad
[00:05:33] depot. As for Muhammad, as for the security situation in Aleppo, is
[00:05:37] there any security movement towards the location or deployment
[00:05:40] of security in Aleppo or around the explosion
[00:05:44] site? Indeed, Hussam, I mean, from the moment
[00:05:47] of the explosion, there was a security alert
[00:05:51] for the Ministry of
[00:05:54] Interior, and there was also an alert
[00:05:57] for the Ministry of Defense because the explosion occurred
[00:06:00] in one of the Ministry of Defense's depots. But
[00:06:04] the Ministry of Interior's
[00:06:07] internal security rushed
[00:06:10] to deploy near the explosion site,
[00:06:14] and there is a security
[00:06:17] deployment, in addition to preventing some
[00:06:20] residents from approaching the explosion site.
[00:06:22] It also cut off the Aleppo-
[00:06:25] Damascus highway, fearing that the
[00:06:29] explosion or shrapnel from the explosion would reach
[00:06:31] the international highway because the Al-Eis area is
[00:06:35] completely adjacent to the Aleppo-Damascus highway. It is
[00:06:39] only five kilometers away. They
[00:06:42] cut off the road from the Khan
[00:06:45] the southern area, and also from
[00:06:49] the Ibleh University junction, and an
[00:06:53] internal security cordon was imposed
[00:06:57] explosion to prevent
[00:07:00] anyone from being harmed and to prevent
[00:07:03] residents from approaching the explosion site.
[00:07:07] I will return to you, Muhammad Nour, correspondent of Syria TV in
[00:07:10] Aleppo, for the latest developments
[00:07:14] and information you have. And I return to Brigadier General
[00:07:17] Muhammad Al-Baqqa'i. Brigadier General, so after
[00:07:20] the explosions stopped,
[00:07:24] the explosions returned in the same
[00:07:28] area. And before I went to the correspondent of Syria TV in
[00:07:32] Aleppo, you were saying something very important. Please
[00:07:36] security and military analysis of the area
[00:07:40] and comment on the return of the explosion. Professor
[00:07:44] Muhammad, Professor Hussam, I
[00:07:47] believe that there is a squadron of F-15
[00:07:50] aircraft that carry
[00:07:52] missiles with a range of 150 to 200
[00:07:56] kilometers, air-to-ground missiles of high explosive
[00:07:59] type, Sparrow. These missiles
[00:08:02] are launched from a distance of 200 kilometers.
[00:08:05] That means those located in the Tal Al-Eis area and
[00:08:08] its surroundings will not hear the sound
[00:08:11] of the aircraft or the engines of enemy aircraft,
[00:08:15] because the missiles are launched from a distance of 200
[00:08:17] kilometers. That means practically, when a missile
[00:08:21] is launched from a distance of 150 to 200
[00:08:24] kilometers, it will come silently, almost
[00:08:27] silently, until it reaches the depot or the
[00:08:31] coordinates drawn for it via
[00:08:34] GPS maps connected to satellites.
[00:08:38] I mean, I believe that there are enemy aircraft
[00:08:41] of the F-15 or F-16 type, most likely.
[00:08:47] Israel will not use stealth aircraft, the F-35,
[00:08:50] because their operating cost is high
[00:08:53] and their maintenance cost is high, and because in
[00:08:55] Syria there are no radars and there are no
[00:08:58] air defense systems that affect the F-15
[00:09:02] Eagle and the F-16 Falcon.
[00:09:05] These are the aircraft specifically designed
[00:09:09] to carry air-to-ground missiles. So, I
[00:09:12] adopt the hypothesis
[00:09:16] the air. It is the highest hypothesis available so
[00:09:20] far, because the explosions are successive. I mean,
[00:09:24] what is this shock that
[00:09:27] causes 10 depots to explode? As long as there are
[00:09:30] 10 explosions, then there are 10
[00:09:33] depots close to each other and they are
[00:09:37] being bombed through a series of raids
[00:09:40] from a distance of 200 kilometers
[00:09:43] to these depots. This is what I wanted,
[00:09:46] what I analyzed and what I saw with the eye of a military
[00:09:50] security expert. And I specialize in air defense
[00:09:53] and aviation and air defense
[00:09:56] weapons. I firmly believe that the matter
[00:09:59] is a hostile bombing from a distance
[00:10:02] of 200 km or 150
[00:10:05] km, and this is within the range of Israeli
[00:10:08] hostile aircraft very comfortably
[00:10:11] for those aircraft. I mean, I mean, Brigadier
[00:10:14] General, you are now, according to
[00:10:18] the information and the scenes and what happened with the
[00:10:21] explosions in the Al-Eis area in the Aleppo countryside,
[00:10:25] you almost confirm that these explosions
[00:10:29] are not misuse or improper storage,
[00:10:32] if I may say so, and that they
[00:10:35] are targeted by drones from
[00:10:38] Israel. This is your analysis.
[00:10:41] I mean, perhaps not drones, Professor Hussam. I mean, drones from
[00:10:45] Israel are far away. A drone does not reach from
[00:10:48] Israel, from northern occupied Palestine, to Tal
[00:10:52] Al-Eis. This is the act of long-range
[00:10:55] fighter jets, F-16s or F-35s.
[00:10:59] Drones do not reach from northern
[00:11:02] occupied Palestine to Tal Al-Eis. Their range is
[00:11:06] beyond the operating range
[00:11:06] of drones.
[00:11:10] with its liberation. Yes. But before, before, before I
[00:11:14] return to you, I mean, viewers,
[00:11:17] we are watching these images also of the Aleppo-Damascus highway
[00:11:21] and the highway being cut off by internal security
[00:11:25] for the safety of civilians. I return to Muhammad Nour, correspondent
[00:11:28] of Syria TV in Aleppo. Muhammad,
[00:11:32] so what is the situation of the roads
[00:11:35] and traffic after these
[00:11:38] explosions?
[00:11:41] Yes, Hussam, I mean, I have just
[00:11:45] the residents that there are several casualties,
[00:11:48] and indeed, the Civil Defense
[00:11:51] transported several people. So far, we do not know the
[00:11:55] approximate number. There are several
[00:11:58] casualties who were transported from
[00:12:03] to the explosion site to hospitals in Aleppo
[00:12:06] for treatment. As for
[00:12:10] what you mentioned, I mean, traffic
[00:12:13] on the roads
[00:12:15] is strictly prohibited by the internal security from reaching
[00:12:19] the explosion site at a distance of 10 km,
[00:12:23] because even at this moment, as I speak to you,
[00:12:27] there is still flying
[00:12:29] shrapnel and missiles.
[00:12:32] It calmed down somewhat about a quarter of an hour ago,
[00:12:35] and then a huge and large explosion returned,
[00:12:38] and the fires are still burning and visible from
[00:12:42] the explosion site, and also the sounds of
[00:12:45] ammunition and successive small
[00:12:52] depot, can be heard by everyone now in
[00:12:56] Aleppo, but the internal security is still
[00:12:59] preventing access, for the safety of the residents, at a distance of
[00:13:03] 10 km from approaching the
[00:13:06] explosion site. Muhammad, returning to
[00:13:08] your experience,
[00:13:11] just to confirm, there are several
[00:13:14] injuries recorded and a number of them have been transferred to hospitals
[00:13:18] for treatment.
[00:13:21] These injuries,
[00:13:23] the neighboring villages of Al-Eis town,
[00:13:27] due to flying shrapnel,
[00:13:30] and what is the extent of the population density in these
[00:13:34] villages? Yes, Hussam, I mean, one of the
[00:13:38] residents near the explosion site
[00:13:41] confirmed to me just now that there were several
[00:13:45] injuries and they were evacuated by the ambulance
[00:13:49] teams that headed to this area, but I do not know
[00:13:52] the exact or real number of injuries. There were several
[00:13:56] villages, but all these villages
[00:14:00] near the Al-Eis area, I mean, I am talking about
[00:14:04] and Al-Barqum and many villages, these
[00:14:07] villages were completely abandoned
[00:14:10] before the liberation, during the rule
[00:14:14] of the ousted Assad regime, and after the liberation,
[00:14:17] it was very difficult for the residents to return to
[00:14:21] their villages because these villages specifically, Hussam,
[00:14:25] suffered almost complete destruction. I mean,
[00:14:28] the battles of Al-Eis, and I am talking about them now,
[00:14:32] I recall them from 2016
[00:14:35] and 2017 in my mind when the fiercest
[00:14:38] battles took place in that area. Tal Al-Eis
[00:14:42] was a great struggle between the rebels
[00:14:45] and also the regime and Iranian militias.
[00:14:48] Therefore, all the surrounding villages
[00:14:51] in the Al-Eis area suffered great destruction.
[00:14:55] I estimate that the percentage of residents returning to
[00:14:58] each village does not exceed 20% because the houses
[00:15:02] are destroyed, and the infrastructure in these villages
[00:15:05] is destroyed. There are no basic necessities of
[00:15:09] life, but there is residency that we estimate at about 20 to 25%
[00:15:13] only of the total number of
[00:15:17] residents, I mean, the number of each village according to
[00:15:21] its houses and homes where
[00:15:25] the residents are supposed to be. Yes, stay with me, Muhammad Nour. I will return to you
[00:15:28] for the latest developments and information you have. Brigadier General
[00:15:32] Fayez Al-Asmar joins us. Welcome, Brigadier General. What is
[00:15:35] your reading of this, these explosions, and this
[00:15:39] major explosion that
[00:15:42] is still occurring in the weapons
[00:15:45] depots at one of the army sites,
[00:15:49] according to a statement by SANA news agency?
[00:15:51] Greetings, brother Hussam. It is painful,
[00:15:55] brother Hussam, that four explosions
[00:15:58] occur within less than a month, and they cause
[00:16:01] casualties, whether they are civilian
[00:16:04] or military. This is truly shameful from
[00:16:08] a military perspective. It is shameful.
[00:16:11] It is unreasonable to speculate whether it was
[00:16:13] Israel or certain militias or so-and-so
[00:16:17] or improper storage or anything else.
[00:16:20] It is true that Israel has destroyed 80% of our
[00:16:23] capabilities, but we still have
[00:16:26] anti-aircraft 57mm cannons
[00:16:30] and 13.5mm anti-aircraft guns around the weapons
[00:16:33] depots, whether there are drones or not.
[00:16:37] We certainly still have radars that detect
[00:16:41] targets violating Syrian borders. But to speculate
[00:16:44] and keep saying an Israeli aircraft and a drone
[00:16:48] that doesn't reach. No, drones reach. They reach Deir
[00:16:52] ez-Zor and they reach Turkey. I don't know who
[00:16:55] your guest was who was with us and says that drones don't reach
[00:16:59] the Al-Eis area, and it is 300 km away. No, there are drones
[00:17:02] at 1 km. Israel has these, and this
[00:17:06] is a given. I want to enter into speculation.
[00:17:09] Brother Hussam, what are the reasons? What are the reasons, according to
[00:17:13] your analysis? From a military analysis, there are several
[00:17:17] reasons. There are several reasons.
[00:17:24] You have many security
[00:17:26] challenges. Israel has
[00:17:30] into the Syrian state, from QSD, the PKK have an interest.
[00:17:34] The Hajjari militias have an interest. The remnants have an interest.
[00:17:36] And all of these have and can
[00:17:39] acquire drones.
[00:17:44] The second matter is to scrutinize the security backgrounds of the
[00:17:48] officials responsible for the depots. The most important thing, unfortunately, brother Hussam, these
[00:17:52] repeated explosions in army depots must
[00:17:55] be investigated for their causes, their effects, and who benefits from them,
[00:17:58] how and why they occur. Sufficient professional investigations
[00:18:02] must be carried out to determine their backgrounds. There must
[00:18:05] be no complacency in punishing those who are negligent, careless,
[00:18:08] or complicit, regardless of their
[00:18:11] This is certainly why investigations are absent and not
[00:18:15] published in such cases.
[00:18:18] I am not a responsible official in the state to
[00:18:21] say why. Exactly, brother Hussam, there
[00:18:25] must be academic
[00:18:28] dealing with weapons depots. You
[00:18:32] know, the reasons are many. The reasons are many,
[00:18:35] and you know now
[00:18:38] the lack of, I mean, a fighter responsible for a weapons depot. We have
[00:18:42] armament officers. We have many.
[00:18:45] Certainly, the reasons are many. I cannot
[00:18:48] list them all for you, but every small and large detail must
[00:18:52] be scrutinized. Investigations should not pass lightly.
[00:18:56] Thorough scrutiny. Perhaps there are security
[00:19:00] breaches in army sectors and depots. The lurking
[00:19:03] enemies are many. Perhaps an improvised explosive
[00:19:06] device. It was delivered to army depots
[00:19:09] and explosions are occurring successively in the Sermada depot
[00:19:13] and the Dumair and Ayyash depots and Tal Al-Eis. I mean,
[00:19:16] it is suspicious, strange, and astonishing that four weapons depots within
[00:19:20] less than three weeks kill 100 people and
[00:19:23] we are silent or guessing. It is unacceptable. This is not
[00:19:27] possible. There must be investigation committees. I mean, we
[00:19:30] must know who is the officer responsible for our depots.
[00:19:34] Who are the soldiers in the warehouses?
[00:19:41] be academics. So there is a lot
[00:19:45] to be done. The necessary conditions for depots, my brother, their
[00:19:48] distance from civilians, their distance from high voltage lines and networks,
[00:19:52] high and good ventilation, which
[00:19:55] I, as an officer, have studied for 45
[00:19:59] years, that the conditions I must set for a weapons depot are good
[00:20:02] ventilation. If it is air-conditioned, it is better. The doors
[00:20:06] must open outwards, not inwards. Even the electrical
[00:20:10] switch must not be inside the depot. It must be outside
[00:20:13] the depot. Many people do not
[00:20:16] with a lack of experience with ammunition
[00:20:21] It is painful. I am speaking from my heart. It is unacceptable
[00:20:24] that we have four explosions. My brother, I have missiles.
[00:20:28] I remove the fuses, the fuses that are
[00:20:30] in their front, and the detonators
[00:20:34] from the weapons depots. Why do I put the depots
[00:20:38] next to each other, 20 depots next to each other? There
[00:20:41] should be 100 meters, 200 meters, 500 meters, 1000 meters between
[00:20:45] each depot so that there is no chain explosion. If
[00:20:48] one depot explodes, it triggers all the depots behind it.
[00:20:52] It is impossible for an explosion to occur, my brother
[00:20:54] Hussam. Let me tell you, as a military man, it is impossible
[00:20:58] unless the shells are armed. "Armed" means
[00:21:01] that the fuses are attached to them. The missile has
[00:21:04] its fuse, and the RPG
[00:21:06] shells have their fuses,
[00:21:08] and the warheads and the armed MD missiles, all
[00:21:13] must, and it is part of the storekeeper's duties and the duties
[00:21:17] of the armament administration when storing weapons, to separate
[00:21:21] their armaments. And I mean the igniter that causes
[00:21:24] the spark, which is at the front of the shells, and put
[00:21:28] it in separate depots, and the missiles separately.
[00:21:31] It is unacceptable that they are stored while
[00:21:35] armed, with the slightest spark or the slightest friction. I mean, you
[00:21:38] know they must be raised as much as possible
[00:21:41] for the ammunition on wooden pallets, so that there
[00:21:45] are no friction areas, because friction and iron
[00:21:49] pallets, and dragging the iron on the ground, can generate
[00:21:52] a spark that leads to a catastrophe. Dealing with
[00:21:56] explosives and mines, the first
[00:21:58] mistake is the last mistake. You cannot correct your mistake.
[00:22:02] Those in charge of weapons depots and those dealing
[00:22:06] with explosives, mines, and war
[00:22:10] remnants must know this. It is unreasonable
[00:22:14] to ignore these matters. It is truly
[00:22:17] painful for me that
[00:22:20] today is the fourth explosion. It is unacceptable within
[00:22:23] three weeks, regardless of the reason. I mean,
[00:22:27] regardless, it might be targeting, and I told you,
[00:22:30] the lurking enemies are many. The elements who
[00:22:32] do not want integration from QSD, perhaps the remnants, perhaps
[00:22:36] even Hezbollah. I mean, I can guess,
[00:22:40] but it's not logical for me to be a sovereign state and not know
[00:22:44] if a drone entered my airspace or not.
[00:22:47] Then, at 5 km or
[00:22:50] 10 km from the main weapons depots,
[00:22:54] are there any anti-aircraft guns? Don't we have
[00:22:58] missiles? Don't we have artillery? Don't we have thousands of 13.5mm
[00:23:01] anti-aircraft artillery?
[00:23:05] This is unacceptable. You tell me that drones don't reach
[00:23:08] and so on, or that Israel is behind it all.
[00:23:12] Anything is possible, brother Hussam. As a military man,
[00:23:15] when I take over the investigation, I will examine
[00:23:19] the direct and indirect causes and scrutinize
[00:23:22] every small and large detail. What
[00:23:25] did the head of the depot carry?
[00:23:27] Yes, Brigadier General,
[00:23:29] there must be records, my brother. Now I want to look at
[00:23:33] the records of the weapons depots, the weapons
[00:23:36] that came in and went out. There must be chaos, and the
[00:23:39] armament administration is responsible for it. The incoming
[00:23:42] weapons will be recorded according to
[00:23:45] certain documents, and their entry and exit
[00:23:48] times, and their details. Are these things available in
[00:23:52] our army depots so that we know what entered recently
[00:23:56] and why the explosion happened? These things are many.
[00:24:00] It is not just two words. And I know that the results of the investigation
[00:24:04] must be specialized investigation committees from the armament administration.
[00:24:07] Yes, Brigadier General, Brigadier General Fayez,
[00:24:10] I will return to you. You raised
[00:24:15] in fact. I will return to Brigadier General
[00:24:18] Muhammad Al-Baqqa'i. Brigadier General Muhammad Al-Baqqa'i,
[00:24:21] Brigadier General Fayez
[00:24:24] many points, and they are very important, in fact.
[00:24:28] What is your comment and your opinion
[00:24:30] on what Brigadier General
[00:24:34] Fayez Al-Asmar raised?
[00:24:37] Yes, good evening to you again, and to Brigadier
[00:24:40] General Fayez Al-Asmar. In all
[00:24:43] cases, Brigadier General said that we have air defense
[00:24:47] systems. Yes, we still have in the new Syrian
[00:24:50] army, from the remnants of the former regime,
[00:24:54] some anti-aircraft artillery battalions and some
[00:24:57] factions or some battalions of Cobra
[00:25:01] and Igla missiles. I mean, the 57
[00:25:05] mm anti-aircraft gun has a range of about 5.5
[00:25:08] km at an altitude of 5 km. The 23
[00:25:12] dual or quadruple
[00:25:15] gun, which has four 23mm guns, has a range
[00:25:19] of 2,300 meters, of course.
[00:25:22] Most of them are out of order for the first and second
[00:25:27] with the fourth system in the days, I mean, when there
[00:25:30] were no Russian experts maintaining them
[00:25:33] and Syrian experts as well. Most
[00:25:36] of their electronic devices were out of order. We used to fire with the fourth
[00:25:40] system at 2300 meters range.
[00:25:43] We have 14.5mm with a range of about 1500 to 2000
[00:25:47] meters. The Cobra has a range of about
[00:25:50] 3 km to the latest Igla types
[00:25:54] that we inherited from the defunct regime,
[00:25:57] about 5 km range. So, if we talk here about
[00:26:01] ranges between 5 km and 2
[00:26:05] km, the range of the air defense artillery that we have.
[00:26:08] The F-15 aircraft shell from a distance
[00:26:12] of 100 to 150 km. So, we
[00:26:16] served in Lebanon, and those who are watching us
[00:26:19] now, who served with me in Lebanon, Badil Sagir
[00:26:23] and Abdullah Al-Shalhoui and those officers who served
[00:26:26] with me, we fired
[00:26:30] Israeli aircraft
[00:26:32] in broad daylight, Professor Hussam, and Brigadier
[00:26:35] General, we didn't even hit
[00:26:39] a fly. So what about today when the attack
[00:26:42] is at night? Anti-aircraft artillery
[00:26:45] at night has zero effect because the 77mm
[00:26:49] gun is operated manually. Previously, we had
[00:26:52] the Faza device or the
[00:26:56] Sun 100 radar. We used to operate it sometimes
[00:27:00] with the radar, but due to frequent malfunctions,
[00:27:03] we used it manually. At night, anti-aircraft artillery
[00:27:08] So what about drones?
[00:27:11] a drone at night. Perhaps during the day,
[00:27:15] by chance, a barrage of fire
[00:27:19] in a certain way, but at night, it is impossible, Brigadier
[00:27:22] General. Anti-aircraft artillery is all we have
[00:27:26] today. We do not have air defense missiles
[00:27:28] like the Kubrads or the Olsa. All vehicles have been destroyed.
[00:27:32] Or the Pichu or the Fulka or
[00:27:35] the Pantsir. Brigadier General, please stay
[00:27:39] with me. We are showing you, viewers, initial
[00:27:42] images of the shrapnel that fell on
[00:27:45] one of the houses near the Al-Eis
[00:27:49] area in the southern Aleppo countryside. So these are
[00:27:52] the initial images of the shrapnel
[00:27:56] that fell in one of the houses,
[00:27:59] according to the information we received in the vicinity
[00:28:03] of the Al-Eis area. Brigadier
[00:28:07] General Muhammad Al-Baqqa'i,
[00:28:08] please.
[00:28:11] I mean, the effect of anti-aircraft artillery,
[00:28:15] at night. And also, the ranges
[00:28:19] we have, I mean, the maximum range we used in Lebanon, in the Lebanon
[00:28:22] war, we had the 57mm gun, and it was the peak in
[00:28:26] terms of air defense in Lebanon. It was forbidden
[00:28:30] to bring missiles into Lebanon,
[00:28:34] according to agreements between Hafez al-Assad and the Americans
[00:28:38] and the Israelis. Therefore,
[00:28:41] the shelling is carried out at night by F-15s,
[00:28:44] F-16s, or F-35s, and I rule out the use of F-35s
[00:28:48] because their cost is high. Their operation,
[00:28:51] I mean, the F-15 can shell with missiles from
[00:28:55] a range of 100 to 150 km
[00:28:58] at an altitude of 20 km or 15
[00:29:02] km. What will those cannons do
[00:29:05] that were manufactured at the end of World War
[00:29:09] II and we are still using them today?
[00:29:12] Syria needs advanced air defense systems
[00:29:15] that are deployed over long ranges
[00:29:18] from the depots, from military
[00:29:21] units, from Syria's borders to protect
[00:29:25] facilities. Also, there is another very important point:
[00:29:29] why are these depots close to each other?
[00:29:33] Why are igniter depots located next to missile
[00:29:36] depots or shell depots or
[00:29:40] mine warehouses. This all means
[00:29:44] either due to weakness or ignorance in storage
[00:29:46] operations. Thank you.
[00:29:50] Thank you, Brigadier General Muhammad Al-Bouqai, for
[00:29:53] your participation and for this
[00:29:56] military analysis. And joining you
[00:29:59] now, dear viewers, is Ibrahim Al-Khatib
[00:30:03] from Syria TV from the vicinity of the
[00:30:07] explosion in the Al-Eis area in the southern
[00:30:10] Aleppo countryside. What do you have,
[00:30:19] another explosion occurred, added to the series of explosions that took place in the Al-Eis
[00:30:23] area in the southern Aleppo countryside, which effectively shook
[00:30:27] the region. The echoes of these explosions reached the city of Aleppo and its
[00:30:30] countryside. We are now at the main entrance of the city of Al-Eis. A moment ago,
[00:30:34] a group of Syrian Civil Defense vehicles
[00:30:38] and also the Syrian Arab Red Crescent entered
[00:30:41] the site, and it seems there are indeed casualties
[00:30:46] site. In general, this area where the ammunition
[00:30:49] depot that exploded a moment ago is located, it seems
[00:30:53] that the shells and rockets that exploded and
[00:30:56] whose echoes were heard throughout Aleppo province, I mean,
