The amos mortar systems of the swedish and finnish forces looks more like something from Command and Conquer Red alert, than a real weapons system with its twin barrel.

The Marksman Leopard 2 is a bit like that as well

That feeling of not being alone... not knowing the other, while being outclassed by them
So many questions, so few answers...

For those that didn't see the video yet:

Probably Die Glocke. Nazis on the moon, dude. Mecha-Hitler inbound 1st of September 2019.

Jokes aside, it is really interesting. I wonder what it can be.

I'm pretty sure that if it really was something alien it wouldn't be leaked onto YouTube, lol.

The story/videos was published by the new york times

The videos are seemingly legit, the videos depicts unidentified flying objects. Whether or not you want to define them as aliens are another matter

... that is some weird stuff...

The Chilean military released a similar strange video about a year ago.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4095314/It-s-verified-UFO-Chile-release-footage-mystery-object-flying-navy-helicopter-two-year-investigation-fails-explain-it.html

Chilean video was only studied for 2 years before release. The USA military one dates from 2004.

I think I also read that some police helicopter in the UK once also had noticed an unidentified flying object with a heat signature but nothing else.

The delays on release of these videos makes me wonder how many more videos there are right now which are still under investigation.

Looks like SAA have launched an offensive east of Khan Sheikhun

Anyone knows why the harrier behind the helicopters has a different color? Is it from a different navy, does it have another task, or yet something else?
My guess is a different air force as the ensign seems to be different? US?

[Sander93]

After a quick search I think they use different paint jobs for different squadrons.
Note how the second and fourth plane have darker paint jobs on top and different and numbers.

Syrian army is pushing to encircle HTS and ISIS forces east of Abu al Duhar.

[VonMudra]

Just to note- the ISIS pocket there was actually trucked in by the SAA, dumped into the HTS lines, and told to fight the HTS.  It was basically a way to clear the rear areas for the SAA, and disrupt the front (which was successful).  My guess is that once this soon-to-be pocket is cleared out, they will round up those ISIS guys and do it all over again somewhere else in Idlib, IF the SAA wants to continue a march towards the Turkish border.
