The military situation under al-Bab on 17.02.2017
1. Turkish suffering continues. By the end of 17 February, Caliphate in fact supplanted the FSA and Turkish unit on the Western outskirts of al-Bab. The Turks remained suburban buildings, hospital and the dominant over the city height Akil. Quarter al-Salam is fully peeled from the PAS, in the Western part of al-Zamzam continuing street battles. During the fighting on 16-17 February, the Turks lost another 2 tanks (https://twitter.com/Tank_Blog/status/832691834589630465), significant losses are noted in “green.” During the counterattack, “black” was able to regain control of the junction between al-Bab and Tagitm, so from a tactical point of view, things are for the last couple of days even improved slightly.

2. Attempts to maintain the frontal attack from the West by a subsidiary attack from the North also failed. “Green” infantry came to the Northern outskirts of al-Bab, but could not enter the city because of fierce resistance by the Caliphate. Due to the fact that full supply al-Bab group is still not cut, and the advance of the SAA from South to al-Bab was terminated for political reasons at the achievement of the line of differentiation (Tadif and left for the Caliphate), what happened next – as in December, the FSA, with the support of the Turkish army attacked entrenched in the city of the militants blankly in the forehead. In the first stage, after an intense artillery preparation and air strikes (which killed dozens of civilians), “green corps” with the support of the Turks came into the city’s neighborhoods, where it is mired in street fighting. Operation immediately lost harmony and became an attempt just to gnaw through the defense of militants in the city, which for several months was preparing for the defense. As a result, after the losses incurred and the continuing counter-attacks of the Caliphate, “green” began to crawl away on the outskirts of the city, although on the termination of the storm too early.
3. So still not taken Bza ah and Qabasin, which is why the enemy continues to hold down a significant part of the Turkish group in the battles for these settlements and does not allow to close the ring around al-Bab.
In fact, not so long ago began the offensive of the Turkish army and the FSA has clearly lost the pace and now there are attempts straightforward to realize its superiority in manpower and technology without a serious rearrangement, that even by the December storm did not look the most optimal solution.
