Critical aspects of Syrian opposition's Aleppo campaign by CalibreObscura
Extensive Use of Drones:
• Rebels effectively use drones for command and control, frontline monitoring, and reconnaissance, surpassing the capabilities of Syrian regime forces.
• Small kamikaze UAVs are employed to disrupt counterattacks, including those by the elite 25th Division.
• Drone-dropped grenades are a common and impactful tactic.
Special Forces Approach:
• Opposition forces utilize elite units in spotter and reconnaissance roles, often operating ahead of regular infantry.
• These units coordinate closely with UAV teams to direct artillery and other strikes.
• Advanced thermal optics are extensively deployed, enhancing night operations and reconnaissance.
Heavy Weaponry:
• Indigenous weaponry includes 110-240mm rockets and mortars, which are widely used in indirect fire operations.
• Traditional heavy artillery remains limited, but the dynamic use of available resources compensates for this.
• Tank usage is minimal but tactically significant in specific scenarios.
Professional Coordination:
• Rebel groups operate under a unified command, resembling a Western-style military doctrine.
• Centralized networked command centers, similar to Ukraine’s model, ensure coordinated and strategic operations.
• Defection and surrender policies are handled systematically and professionally.
Improved OPSEC:
• Dramatic enhancements in operational security (OPSEC) prevent leaks and ensure the success of sensitive missions.
• A sophisticated media strategy complements military efforts, amplifying the narrative of the campaign.

NEW: Armenia, a key supporter of the Assad regime, withdrew its military unit from Aleppo in a midnight operation.
Syrian opposition’s ongoing offensive to reclaim Aleppo from the regime has caused alarm in Armenia.
On the night of November 29, Armenia evacuated its troops, initially deployed to assist the Assad regime, via transport aircraft.
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has repeatedly affirmed his support for Assad. Since 2019, Armenian Defense Ministry personnel, including demining teams and medical staff, had been stationed in Aleppo.
However, following the opposition's advance, Armenia swiftly pulled its forces from the region.
