Russian Defense Ministry refutes statements by TC Al-Jazeera on the death of Russian troops in Syria

46
The Russian Ministry of Defense refutes information published by Al-Jazeera. Recall that the TV channel broadcast a report stating the death of Russian soldiers as a result of a military vehicle detonating in the Syrian province of Lattakia.

RIA News gives the text of the message of the official representative of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, Major General Igor Konashenkov:
Reports of the Qatari television channel Al-Jazeera about the alleged death of Russian soldiers in Syria is another informational stuffing. All Russian military personnel in this country are alive and continue to perform their tasks.


Russian Defense Ministry refutes statements by TC Al-Jazeera on the death of Russian troops in Syria


According to Igor Konashenkov, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation regrets that a large TV channel is distributing fakes.

It is worth noting that Al-Jazeera was repeatedly convicted of lies. Earlier, referring to the so-called "white suckers" close to "Jebhat al-Nusra" (banned in the Russian Federation), this television channel claimed that the Russian aviation bombing residential neighborhoods of East Aleppo. By the time this material was published, the Russian Air Force aircraft had not carried out any operations on the Syrian province of Aleppo for several weeks. Therefore, the dissemination of false information has recently become the hallmark of the Qatari television channel.

      Sense to respond to such? It’s like dill that thousands of GRU special forces destroy and burn dozens of armatures a day without getting out of bed. This, too, must win the victory out of the finger.

          Actually, in May 2015-but the Supreme signed a decree according to which the information of the Ministry of Defense on losses during special peacetime operations is classified as state secret. So the Ministry of Defense may, in principle, not respond to such stuffing! hi

            "Al Jazeera" was originally created on the basis of the BBC Arabic edition by corporation employee Nigel Parsons, who had previously worked on television for the American agency Associated Press. Pentagon officials also worked in Al-Jazeera, in particular Josh Rushing, a Central Command spokesman, and there was information about the CIA staff. In general, nothing but an instrument of conducting information warfare, it was and is not.

            During hostilities, the advancing side always speaks of the absence of losses (which is nonsense), and the defending side speaks of the absence of losses on its part, as being on the defensive and being carefully prepared, does not suffer any losses (which is also nonsense) Therefore, think for yourself, decide for yourself. Believe who is closer to you!

        "It is worth noting that Al-Jazeera has been repeatedly convicted of lies."

        And why not our Foreign Ministry to draw up some "rating of deceit" of such media? There are more than enough candidates. And post changes to this rating every month. With the presentation of a symbolic award in the nomination "liar of the month."

    I don’t quite understand why such a violent reaction. There is a war in Syria. There the devil himself will not understand who is who. Moreover, these legal subtleties of the division into military personnel and employees of private military companies.
    Russia is a participant in the military conflict. What's the matter? Why make such a noise around a little lie if Konashenkov himself was already caught in this too? What is the idea? Who will shout louder "liar himself"?

        That's it! He said that a lie, and all about it. No further comments. And it will be more effective than waving your arms further on this. Konashenkov is definitely out of place, as is Rogozin. Both are trying to copy Maria Zakharova. What for? The less the representative of the Defense Ministry will speak, the more significant his words will be. Evaluation of other media should not fall within its competence. Leave it to Zakharova. Answer briefly and to the point.

    God grant that it was a lie. But there are unpleasant moments when the Defense Ministry reported the deaths of fighters only after a few months. So they, too, do not have much faith.
    At such a time, only photo and video evidence can be trusted, and not an official statement of any structures.

    There are no wars without victims. Russia there is not fighting against the natives with bows and spears, but with well-armed militants. And if our military is not sitting there in the bunker and controlling the combat drones with the joystick, but performing ground combat missions, then there will be victims. Another thing is that in Russia military losses are always hushed up as much as possible. The truth will come up. The military has relatives. And not all of them will be silent, even if they were ordered to remain silent.

From the very beginning of conflicts (Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine, Syria., "Dangerous" maneuvers of aircraft .. ITD and TP) constantly, with blunt perseverance, they hammer, kick, humiliate Russia, and our servants of honor and goodness justify themselves ... So they are guilty, then they will continue to kick, and sundry. Or maybe it’s just the media that gives us information so that our pride in the country does not go wild ???
