Good article on the defenders of donetsk aiport http://www.latimes.com/world/great-reads/la-fg-c1-ukraine-airport-20141028-story.html#page=1

I haven't put any more time into this lately combination of work and lifes usual surprises kind of put a stopper to it along with any time for games in general. Ive just been occasionally browsing the forums on my phone but ill see if i can find the time to finally wrap this up. BTW Erwin im working on this not stagler i just used that berezka camo he made.

The whole former saddam era soldiers joining IS thing is kinda over blown. The Saddam era baathists more or less have their own groups that had a uneasy peace with IS but after the fall of mosul now are turning against them but at the same time still hostile to Baghdad. Their ideologies just don't mesh well and thats why they have had their break. The main group being lead by former Baath soldiers and political figures is the Army of the Men of the Naqshbandi Order. They are not on friendly terms with IS after being brushed aside after the fall of Mosul. So they may have helped IS advance but its not these men that have bolstered their ranks and given them a edge tactically at least recently. It's military skills are the culmination of of all years of fighting from when Zarqawi first created the group that would become IS. Its the core of its leaders that survived the insurgency, the sunni awakening, and the fighting in Syria that give it a tactical edge. They have also taken in a lot of fighters around Syria have a lot of experience of fighting the SAA when they were in other groups. You also can't count out all the foreign fighters that have experience and training from being in the militaries of their home countries or other jihadist conflicts around the world. This all adds up to make a force that can slap around a unprepared and uncoordinated enemy when it meets one.

This is true, lifes taught me its best to not put all your eggs in one basket and stay impartial... So in that case everyone sucks, kinda like in politics

i'm pretty surprised from the comments on the videos the amount of people from the west (they may not be) eating this stuff up and making them out to be heroes. Usually same people who talk so highly of the SAA and believe whatever lies they say as well.

The incompetence of their foes. Exploit all the fears and deficiencies their enemies have with little consideration of death. They are the apex of the wahhabi jihadist cancer upon the world. While they have had a advantage in some aspects over the negligent fighters they have faced it wont last forever.

awesome video Jorge!!! i showed this to my wife and her response was "o thats why you spend so much time with this" lol ps i like the helmets

More sub'd footage from the "liberated" airport once again this https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG2L5r9T5iYCH0Mmgq85jNQ is a good channel if you don't mind the fact it is geared to the NAF side

More footage with english subs from the airport, lots of action with the PTRD

O you did the russian camo in that mod? I hope you dont mind good stuff as always stagler.

There has been internal struggles with them from the start i wouldnt hold my breath on that stopping any mobsters like them :cool:

I wonder whats going to become of those pockets of UA troops behind the NAF lines. Surrender and be used for bargaining chips?

Thanks!!!!!

Nice got a link to a bigger version ?

Current Map of the situation in Ukraine

Thats nuts, imagine doing the PIT maneuver with that thing :eek:

awesome work sir, i'll go ahead an take down my voice mods as you release these. ill hunt down whatever you need from ro2 just tell me what you want and ill send you a dropbox link.

I have 5 faces added with about 7 more to go (i'm taking these from actual photos of IS terrorists). Its really difficult to get these to look right just a ton of trial and error to get them positioned in the right spot on the model. Ill probably scrap the plain civilian clothes they have lines that go thru them that you don't notice as much on the camo. I added the berezka camo from dpabram's Euroscape mod. actually seen quite a few fighters from russia wearing it in Syria.

I've been very busy with real life work and haven't had much energy for anything CM related lately, but i've had some progress i touched up the chest rigs a bit and now i've tried to add just plain colored civilian shirts and pants to the fighters.... i dont really like how they came out but they add some more variety. Here is some of the shirts Im going to skip that for now and work on the balaclavas which will be variety of colors, some with logos (with single ones others with multiples), and different slits/eye holes.

Brilliant work go ahead post the links!! Your english is fine btw. Thing is i cant make much sense of the Russian arty calls. The files in RO are named very vaguely so its hard to make sense of the files without a good understanding of that particular language. (Thats why the Soviet voice mod was a third the size of the US) maybe you can use the american calls from Rising Storm but i dont know whats what in the Russian one's.
