You are totally mistaken - all I said was there were multiple different sources for the body count number.

The numbers are in dispute with the Wagner Group citing as few as 15 were killed. So its all over the map with no reliable accurate count.

What did happen was the Russian got loads of ELINT, giving them the capability to jam the AC-130 comms and GPS systems as well as other systems - they later demonstrated these methods in other places in Syria.

unless the NYT is now Gospel source for all things Russian. You evidentially have some difficulty with reading comprehension.
