Syria
5 Oct 2015 Putin has sent the feared Spetsnaz special forces into Syria to bail out Assad. 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.” (Source: Mirror): http://tinyurl.com/ogt33xu
