The gunmen who shot dead 11 Russian soldiers and wounded 15 at a training camp near the Ukrainian border had their Islamic faith 'insulted' by their commander, as authorities opened a criminal probe into the incident.
RIA said the gunmen, referred to as 'terrorists', were shot dead and Russia's defense ministry said they were from a former Soviet republic, without elaborating.
Independent news ASTRA spoke to one man wounded who alleged the shooters were Muslims from the Central Asian republic of Tajikistan and turned on the group when the commander described Allah as a coward.
The non-Russian shooters, recruited with their victims as part of Russian President Putin's recent call to mobilise more troops to fight, had told their commanding officer 'this is not our war' and demanded they be excused from serving.
The commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Andrei Lapin, told all the soldiers in response: 'This is a holy war. "Allah" is a coward if he does not allow you to fight for the country to which you swore an oath.'
The hospitalised source said the statement was met with considerable anger from the Muslims: 'I personally think that this is what hurt the most, the phrase ''Allah is a weakling''. The phrase shocked many people among those standing on the parade ground because we also have Muslims among [our Russian] officers.'
He said the conflict appeared to subside but then exploded again during afternoon training which involved shooting practice.
'They sent us all together to the shooting range, and the Tajiks... deployed their machine guns.
'They had live ammunition and shot our commander, Lt-Colonel Lapin - he died on the spot... they opened fire indiscriminately.'
The source claimed a total of 32 people were killed in the attack - a higher total reported by Russian state news channels.

Finally, the ROP is good for something...
Like when a muslim Major killed about the same of American servicemen?
You attempt at humor is cringe.
“Finally, the ROP is good for something...”
Grin. Hey!
I don’t blame the Russian troops as much as I do the leader-
ship. None the less, they are killing Ukrainians so this
is something it’s not too difficult to get behind in spirit.
I don’t want to see Russians or Ukrainians killed.
This whole thing is a human tragedy.
i guess it’s hard to call this fake news and/or propaganda when there are dead bodies.
Saw this yesterday or day before. It is most likely the traditional old Islamic maniac. Lots of Islamocrazies in those CIS countries. And they hate Russians almost as much as Americans.
Oh, I wouldn’t turn my back on one. But in this case, Putin reaps what he sows.
it’s sarcasm of course. You draw your own line as to where cringe begins. I’d call it irony.
Muzzie terrorists will infiltrate anywhere to spread their evil.
You can’t trust them.
11 dead and 15 wounded is a “row”?
That’s not what it’s called in the USA.
You saying this didn’t happen?
Russian shills posting their disinformation are pretty fast too
Wow! Thank you!
But, I doubt I am that efficient! :D

Yup, they report this.
If course our watchdog media, free press, non propogandistic media in the West would report the: Ukrainian casualties, about who Azov is, the failures in most of these counter offensives, men avoiding recruitment, the lack of training among recruits, how Ukraine raised an army of 7,000 mercenaries before the war, how that was mostly paid for by the West, mercenary casualties, mercenaries taken prisoner and what they face, US weapon systems delivered to Ukraine that are already for sale in the black market, how this war was started by ignoring one single demand “NATO East expansion,” who the people are that really were driving the Ukraine EU and NATO membership (names like Soros, Gates, in the US all the usual subjects in the US and EU)...
The MSM gets to decide what they want to talk about and how they want to spin it.
According to Western MSM that follow the science on everything, Ukraine is winning. Even if they lost 20% of their population and landmass, a major port city, a major industrial area, WILL NOT achieve the stated political objective of this war NATO membership, and in fact have seen their chances of EU membership slip away as they get decimated economically (no one wants a 41 million person liability).
While the Russians have achieved ALL their political and military goals: block NATO membership seize ethnic Russian areas. That apparently is failure.
Not sure who writes the scripts for these buffoons, but it’s gotten to the point where Pravda in 1985 is more believable than our MSM today.
