Russia has sent its crack special troops into Syria to back up President Bashar al-Assad’s bid to wipe out his opposition.
Vladimir Putin’s feared Spetsnaz unit and a covert para battalion ghosted into the war-torn country and are preparing for an all-out assault on rebels fighting the regime – including moderate units such as the western-backed Free Syrian Army.
A military source said: “Putin’s marines are there to guard the airbases they are using against sabotage by rebels.
"But Spetsnaz and air-assault troops are not there to provide security to static objects, they are extremely aggressive and highly trained.
“They are there to mop up after air strikes, call in air strikes, go on extremely covert missions against rebels and ultimately wipe them out.
“And they will not be as accountable as British or US special forces. They are there for one reason, to wipe out anyone threatening Assad. By any means.
"And by doing that they will be consolidating Russia’s position on the Med and in the Middle East.”
Putin claims the mission is to defeat IS – but his warplanes have been helping Assad by smashing rebel positions.
Most of the targets in Northern Syria have been al-Qaeda affiliates or less extreme rebel groups opposed to the leader, some of which are CIA-trained and MI6-backed.
Spetsnaz – Special Purpose Soldiers – have been joined by the 7th Air Assault Mountain Division.
They are among Russia’s toughest and most shadowy troops, many of whom have fought dirty wars in Chechnya where they built up a deep hatred of jihadists.
They went on bloody revenge missions against local jihad units to punish them for atrocities against Russian troops and civilians.

Too bad WE didn't have these types of ROEs - our Middle East problems would have been solved.
We, instead, were giving out soccer balls and MREs while our soldiers and contractors were getting prosecuted by their own government.
Pooty is after ISIS booty.

From Aug 23, 2015:
"a recent investigation conducted by Novaya Gazeta, one of the few independent newspapers left in Russia, complicates this cozy tale of counterterrorist cooperation. Based on extensive fieldwork in one village in the North Caucasus, reporter Elena Milashina has concluded that the “Russian special services have controlled” the flow of jihadists into Syria, where they have lately joined up not only with ISIS but other radical Islamist factions.
In other words, Russian officials are adding to the ranks of terrorists which the Russian government has deemed a collective threat to the security and longevity of its dictatorial ally on the Mediterranean, Bashar al-Assad."
Agree, if you let Seals (the real ones), Mossad, Spetznaz and whatever the brits call theirs all go at once with co-ordinated yet seemingly random attacks..
No sleep,look over your shoulder, where are the kids...
The Golden Rule...

Well, Special Forces go for Platinum in all they do...
Sheep in the pen...

Encircle them and then collapse the ring,no way out...
Well dead, but not alive...
They have No Use for them except as an excuse to go there and as a bonus eliminate the little peckers
SOCOM Ping
Not sure if this reporter is telling the truth... Would seem counterintuitive to send your troops to both sides to war against each other. Infiltrate their territory yes, fight against your own country, no. I doubt anyone is telling the truth anyway.
“They are among Russia’s toughest and most shadowy troops, many of whom have fought dirty wars in Chechnya where they built up a deep hatred of jihadists.”
Why do I have this feeling that we should be fighting with the Russians against these guys, problem is we’ve let Iran into the game. What happens when all these armies are there and they look East and perhaps North to the Kurds. You couldn’t have a more screwed up situation all because the man child we have in power pulled us out.
Your pro-ISIS propaganda cracks me up!
Get out of here.
Not if ISIS were a Russian invention used to create instability in the region in order that Russia can emerge as the 'white knights on a horse' to save the day. Then of course set up permanent bases there and basically rule over the region. This in addition to their expansionist moves in Eastern Europe.
