Activists monitor regime’s aviation movements

With very simple equipment, a group of Syrian activist from Hama city is trying to protect their people through mentoring jet fighters' movements.

Hiding near a very important military airport near Hama , an activist warns his group each time he sees or hears through a device that intercept communications between the pilot and the control tower.

The activists use a radio scanner to catch airport's radio signal, which is used by the airport to communicate with helicopters and jet fighters.

Monitoring tools are wireless devices usually used by militants to communicate with each other, "gripes", and radios to monitor the signals coming from regime’s communications, binoculars, and generators.

55 military aircrafts and helicopters sorties for the Syrian regime have been monitored in one day , coming out of four military airports to bomb Syrian cities,

“Unified Observatory in Northern countryside of Hama " A group of young people gathered on a voluntary move and made a page on "Facebook" to submit their daily detailed reports of regime’s aviation movements over the Syrian cities and towns.

Monitoring operations continue around the clock in shifts distributed to several people, each of them has a specific period, according to Syrian Revolution General Commission (SRGC).

The Observatory page on "Facebook" has huge followings; and according to it, people either move or stay in their villages or towns, because it gives them information periodically about regime’s aviation movements and direction, and the cities that might be bombarded. Syrians innovate daily in the face of death due to the war waged by the regime against them, and every time a story and an anecdote of Syrians’ resistance emphasize their love of life, and leave no room for doubt in their victory over the most brutal regime in the world.

The death toll of air attacks is huge harvesting thousands of Syrian lives by explosive barrels which destroyed many Syrian cities.

The regime has hundreds of fighter-jets most of them are expired, such as Mig 21 , Mig 23 , Su 17 , Su22 , Su24, and helicopters Mi8 , Mi17, Mi 24 .

Rebels dropped a lot of planes using simple weapons which saved a lot of lives. Translation by Dani Murad
