Syrian militants claim to have killed Russian special forces

5 September 2019 13

Conflicting information comes from Syria, where the most tense situation has developed in the de-escalation zone of Idlib in the province of the same name in the north-west of the country.

According to the Syrian militants of the National Liberation Front, as a result of the ambush, several Russian special forces were killed, who tried to get into their rear in the area of the village of Aajaz.

In the wake of this statement, a message appeared by the Vedomosti publication, which, citing a source in military diplomatic circles, claims that in the area of Dzhurin, a group of Russian military personnel who were following a stronghold on the demarcation line blew up mines.

As a result of the OZM-72 mine explosion, three officers of the Russian Armed Forces were killed, and two more were injured of varying severity. According to the source, the detonation occurred 30 meters from the strong point.

At present, it is not clear whether this incident took place and in what place it occurred, since sources indicate different settlements.

The editors of Vedomosti sent a corresponding request to the Russian military department, but at the moment, the Ministry of Defense has not made any official statements or messages.

The Ministry of Defense did not make any official statements or messages.

- and "it" at least once admitted the death of the Russian military? And all because "they are not there."

  I just answered your comment about hypersound, and then again - you live somewhere out of touch with reality, or what? But since you are writing here, there seems to be Internet, at least there, in your well, if the press, radio waves and TV, you see, do not reach you ... Well, what are you talking about? Who said that in Syria "they are not" ??? And the death was recognized, and awarded posthumously ... and those who were there and are, are awarded the living, right in the Kremlin and in front of the cameras ... have you not seen? Did not hear? Maybe you are just deaf and blind, write by groping, and in the ward they slip the wrong information in a blind font? So you give the nannies a stick in the head as they come closer, otherwise you look really stupid ...

    Well, what are you arguing? It was that they did not officially recognize it, and then everything was recognized through social networks.

      Social media is a cloaca, not a source of information. The operation in Syria was initially official and initially recognized. The fact that there are people on earth, without whom the work of videoconferencing is impossible, no one hid. There were no "they are not there" about Syria. But do not confuse the special services, the MTR, PMCs and the army. The operations of the first three structures are not reported. And this is all over the world.

    - remember the story with "Wagner" in Syria. Their death was admitted, because there was nowhere to go, although initially the Ministry of Defense did not acknowledge this incident in every possible way.

      Utkin and his people are not officially in the service of the Moscow Region. And if you really know this story, they fell into a combat operation, in principle, by chance. There they were initially engaged in other matters. Therefore, MO, it is, in principle, difficult to comment officially. Stories with PMCs are generally a different format, not army or official. This was also the case in the USSR, only then did the role of PMCs really be played by regular military personnel.

        - that is, these are not Russians and it is logical to sneeze at them, let them die. Weapons, equipment, as I understand it, were bought at the military department store, and plane tickets at the ticket offices, well, yes, so "the king said"! And do you believe that?

        Here the conversation was not about sneezing on them or not. Here, they say, about "they are not there" and all that, the Ministry of Defense, they say, does not recognize something about Syria or does not recognize something ... All over the world, special operations are carried out in secret, and the Ministry of Defense does not report on them. These are special operations of special forces, not of the regular Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. And that's a big difference. No country in the world speaks about this at press conferences.

        In 1986-1988. He served in Rostov, a signalman - a radio operator. After training, we were dressed in tracksuits, sneakers, issued passports and sent by plane to Mozambique. The last two months he served in the city of Aksai near Rostov - the 106th communication regiment, for acclimatization. So, what PMCs are, I know firsthand. The only difference is that under the USSR they did not pay us money.

        By no means do I want to repeat that you are telling a lie ... Life has taught me that sometimes it also happens that seems unreal ...
        I know a thing or two about the USSR army, including about special forces. I will not say 100%, but the fact that after training in Mozambique in 1986 they took and sent conscripts (as I understand it, this is what we are talking about), it seems to me, to put it mildly, unlikely. Moreover, we are not talking about marines, GBs, etc. And even then there were officers and extra-conscripts at such events (contractors by today's standards), and money was also paid for these things in the USSR, currency, by the way. On the spot directly in cash, at home by checks. And such a "currency" trip in the USSR had to be earned ... Whoever remembers this time, it is not necessary to tell ... And then conscripts - passports, slippers and to Mozambique ... somehow it does not stick ... Conscripts also sometimes ended up in history, but this, as a rule, was not a business trip somewhere, it was just that people fell under a combat order, being, say, in a foreign port, etc., when suddenly there was a need to perform a certain task. And this, again, is a case not described by you ...
        Are you there, if this is not a military secret, of course, what did you do? If sent messengers-conscripts, then a large-scale army operation would have to take place ... in Mozambique from 1986 to 88 ... with the participation of the USSR Armed Forces ...
        And this, if abroad, then it was only in Afghanistan, and with conscripts ...

Oversight intelligence, overlooked, mine reconnaissance also did not.

  ... It happens ... the war is there. Sometimes you have to get into the minefield. Who knows what the situation was. And reconnaissance is impossible everywhere in advance. It's a pity, of course, the guys, but they have such a job, they themselves signed up for it. There, not conscripts do this all, but professionals.
