Preparations for the next fight to free the [Industrial] school in Jobar are going on.
Commanders perform territory reconnaissance.
They walk the positions themselves and try to account for everything,
all the fight scenarios possible, all the enemy firing points possible.
But fight will always present something that could not be foreseen.
"Tank will pass and you start watching all around,"
"so that no one could pop out, so that no single shot at the tank would be fired."
The tankers discuss the interaction before the fight.
Time for all units to take the original positions.
Militant sand bank is blown away by the first gun shot.
Workup of the positions discovered in buildings adjacent to the school earlier follows.
"Forward if you're ready"
"One tank to the left, another to the right, retreat slowly when having fired"
Armour joins the battle to support the infantry.
First tank starts to clean up the building
where the fire upon Syrian Arab Army positions was done just this morning.
Attack squad went to battle.
Buildings in front and to the right are occupied by the militants.
First tank's crew tries to spot any movement of the enemy.
The infantrymen inside the building cover the tankers' actions with barrage fire all of this time.
Thus even if the terrorist grenade launcher manages to fire a shot he doesn't have the time to aim.
Second tanks covers a road section raked with fire with its armour.
Infantrymen are moving out into the first building of the school.
Fight occurs inside the buildings.
Fights for every stairs, every wall is a border to be taken.
Maneurs are encumbered inside.
Tankers break up the militant barricades hidden by the walls.
The crews of two tanks and an IFV seek the militant movements inside the buildings.
Hussain our friend has spotted the movement on the second floor.
A duel of a grenade launcher against tankers has occured.
Slow motion shows the tank gun barrel going to the left and suddenly
the tanker spots the movement.
The grenade appears - and a shot [is done].
The militant has missed.
Now the terrorists have one grenade launcher less.
The camera on the second tank has filmed the shaped-charge jet trail
and the pieces of the grenade.
