How hundreds of Syrian mercenaries hardened from years of civil war are rushing to fight with Russia for $1,000 a month Syrian fighters have gained years of experience fighting in country's civil war But it has left the economy in tatters, with many willing to fight to make a living
Russia is reportedly offering between £1,000 and $2,000 to mercenaries The first group of 300 has already arrived in Russia for training, reports say
Hundreds of battle-hardened Syrian mercenaries are signing up to join Russian forces on the promise of earning $1,000-a-month, as Moscow continues to struggle to make significant gains in its war in Ukraine.
Syrian fighters have gained years of experience fighting in their country's civil war, which has all but crushed both ISIS and the rebel resistance, but left the economy in tatters.
But now those who honed their skills during President Bashar al-Assad's brutal 11-year-war cannot find work at home. Instead, they are choosing to become mercenaries, fighting for foreign countries in order to earn a living.
The first group of at least 300 of Syrian fighters has already arrived in Russia to begin military training - and to return the favour to Moscow for helping Al-Assad in the civil war, the New York Times reports. And with Syrian an economic basket case, many more are expected to follow.

Pooty Poot shows he is a fake Orthodox Christian. This was all for show. Now he sics his Muslim Chechens and Muslim Syrians...all are Muslim guns for hire. Sends them to kill the Christians of Ukraine.
Anyone who still respects Putin is a fool.
I hope the Ukrainians kill every last one of them.
Then bury them in pig skins.

I think those Syrians will be useless to the Russians.
They will very likely high tail it to the Polish border and try to get in on the ‘Poor-Little-Muslim-Euro gravy train’.
I think they’ll be more trouble then they are worth to Russians.
Battle hardened Syrians? You mean by napalming villages?
Big deal.....NOT. They are still “fighters”, the spray and pray kind. No amount of training in Russia will fix that.
I’ve talked with a few men who provided training for Middle Eastern types. They each said that as soon as the trainees get excited, they forget all their training and just do whatever their culture has prepared them for. Few exception.
In the new Axis of Evil, lives are cheap. Take ‘em all, Ukraine.
Pay them in rubles.
If I’m the Ukrainian president, I would immediately announce “no quarter” for Syrian mercenaries coming into the country. Once killed, cut their heads off and leave them tied to a phone pole alongside the road, as a warning to others. Time to get medieval………
Its the “Daily Mail”
You can discount anything they say to ZERO
More like pray and spray. They beseech their fake god first, before going off to kill Christians and other non-Muslims.
With a pigs head as a replacement.
All the love the Syrians have for the West after years of neocon warmongering.
Monopoly money is good for them.
Well said. Expect the Putin Puffers to come to his defence.
Too kind...
Good possibility.
But more credibility than any Putin cultist. Just saying...
“I think those Syrians will be useless to the Russians.”
Use them for clearing minefields.

Like Iraqi mothers did with their handicapped children. While screaming praise to Saddam. Iraq/Iran war.
