This is the murder of a Russian general on the conscience of the GRU services in Syria, why they did not work - then official actions ... The main thing in regions with an alien population is intelligence and notification. ....

          - It is impossible to monitor every hundred meters for hundreds of kilometers, no UAVs will be enough and the operators will overlook all the eyes.
