Syria’s Tiger Force is a special force known for offensive purposes. Its commander is a Syrian fierce general nicknamed "Tiger", named Suhr Hassan. This unit has achieved very impressive results in the Syrian civil war, but due to its small number, it is difficult to have a definitive effect in the war. It basically plays the role of the firefighting captain.
, but fortunately its small scale, otherwise, when the war is over, Syria will probably only have one piece of scorched earth left.
If you want to understand the Tiger Army, you can't avoid its commander: "Tiger" Hassan.
"Tiger" Hassan
In 1991, the 21-year-old Hassan graduated from the Homs Military Academy, and was soon selected into the Syrian Air Force’s Special Operations Forces to serve. His character is fearless and cautious, and he has repeatedly made outstanding achievements in more than 20 years, but what really made him famous is the Tiger Force that he formed and led since 2013.
In 2013, Colonel Hassan received an order from the Central Command to start building an offensive special force. Hassan personally selected soldiers by himself and formed this tiger force called "sharp".
Hassan is best at combining infantry, artillery, and air power to maximize the firepower he has. In short, it is the plane and the cannon. It doesn't matter what the bottles and cans are smashed. We will win the battle first.
upholds this philosophy. From the very beginning of its establishment, the Tigers have been winning consecutive battles under the leadership of Hasan.
oil drum bombing
In August 2013, Hassan received the first task to retake the strategically important town of Aliha in Idlib province from the rebels. After Hasan led his troops, he rushed to Aliha town. Launched a ruthless bombardment. In just one day, 20 barrel bombs and more than 200 rockets were launched. The barrel bomb of
is very simple to say. It is a mixture of explosives and metal, packed in a barrel-like barrel, and then dropped by a plane onto a rebel-controlled site. Although the
barrel bomb is very poor in accuracy, it is simple to make and has good lethality. Therefore, it has always been Hassan's favorite. Whenever there is a war, you must first throw a few barrels in the past.
Having said that, under Hassan’s “oil barrel bombing”, more than half of the buildings in Aliha town were destroyed, and the rebels were unable to resist. They persisted for ten days before giving up.
On August 26 of the same year, the insurgents captured the strategic town of Kanasir and cut off the government’s last land supply route through the desert. After the settlement of the town of Aliha, the Tigers were ordered to reopen a military road for supply lines in the desert area between Hama and Aleppo.
This time, Hassan continued to use the "scorched earth" strategy, using heavy artillery and barrel bombs to wipe everything that dared to stop him from the map. According to the rebels, they were forced to retreat to Safira under the strong firepower of the Tigers. However, the Tigers bombarded the city for 27 consecutive days, dropping about 450 barrel bombs in total. Cannons and rockets are countless.
After initially achieving a series of victories, Hassan began to appear frequently in front of the media. He loves poetic language, calling himself a "rock-solid, clear-headed, and sea-like person."
Under the packaging of the media, he has become a "god of war" existence, and has won many victories. Greatly boosted the low morale of the Syrian army.
Of course, not all of the media's glorious words are fabricated out of thin air. After all, Hassan's victory is real, and Hassan himself does have a certain personal charm. For example, in 2014, in order to continue to lead the Tigers directly, Hassan refused to be promoted to brigadier general. This kind of performance that regarded fame and fortune as dung, really added a lot to him.
True and False Tiger
In the summer and autumn of 2015, Hassan encountered a lot of difficulties. He suffered setbacks on the battlefield and even his own safety was threatened. On June 13, one of Hassan's bodyguards was shot by a sniper. On August 7, Hassan was injured by a rebel mortar attack in the military camp.
In September of the same year, Russia began to enterDuring that period of military intervention, Hassan remained invisible. When "Tiger" finally reappeared in the public, his image was completely different from before.
At this time, Hassan is wearing dark sunglasses and has a neatly trimmed beard on his freshly tanned, smooth and round face. But he just opened his mouth to make people feel a little embarrassed, and his forcibly poetic speech is always a little out of touch, as if he was performing according to a rehearsed script.
Therefore, some people in the Syrian opposition pointed out that the real "tiger" had already died. The Syrian authorities sought a substitute for Hassan to boost morale after suffering a major setback. (Do you think this is the same person before and after?)
Regardless of whether this tiger is real or not, but his tiger unit is really powerful after receiving Russian military assistance, and its combat power has gained a few more. Steps.
Conclusion
In the final analysis, although this "tiger force" in Syria has a great reputation, it is only revealed because its teammates and opponents are weak. If you really put it on the world stage and weighed it, it would simply be a non-flowing existence. Z1z
Don’t see that on March 4 this year, the unsure of the truth, General Hassan, was attacked again and was seriously injured by a Turkish drone?
