True and false "Wagner": what happened in Syria really

91
The last few days, all social networks are full of information, and “absolutely reliable,” about the terrible defeat of Wagner PMCs in the Syrian province of Deir-ez-Zor. The fact that "the Americans humiliated Russia," and "we could not answer."

What happened in Syria? Versions as much as opinions. Each "expert" has some of his own data, despite the fact that he has never been to Syria, is not related to PMCs or the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, and indeed doesn’t represent anyone or anything.

However, some facts emerge on their own. But they still need to be able to figure it out.

Russian journalist Maxim Shevchenko asked a few questions about the situation in Syria to the domestic military journalist, a participant in the hostilities in Serbia and Transnistria, captain of the reserve Vladislav Shurygin. Vladislav often visited Syria already during the conflict and is well aware of the events a week ago.

        The journalist introduced the speaker at the beginning. That's where infa comes from. For the rest, he balanced and reasonedly commented on everything. You must listen carefully falcon.
        On the other hand, a bazaar of an unknown by phone, and as I noticed for some reason, a demonstration of our guys in the Crimea. That is crap balcony.

            The fact that a friend believes, but did he die there that day and hour? Syria is large and none of the mercenaries does not display its GPS position on the tracking site. And they kill in Syria daily and hourly. So where does infa come from that he died there and on this very raid? No info? There are only assumptions, not supported by anything?

Shurygin, on the other hand, examines the real situation and shows how, out of one real clash of enemies, propaganda with the help of couch alarmists and other emotionally unstable people created a completely different media picture - for the elections.

          According to the publication of the FARS news agency (quoted by the Turkish newspaper Daily Sabah), Pindos mistakenly destroyed 300 Kurds in the southeastern region of Deir ez-Zor province in the vicinity of the village of al-Souseh. The reason for this feat was the false data received from local sources. To hide their mistake from the world media, the Americans began to spread fake news about the destruction of the Wagner PMC fighters. bully bully bully

        If your friend from Syria from the front line calls you and tells you how and what happened, you too probably will believe him. But what does a man wear and where did he put his hands - is that really an argument? This suggests that you are hostile to information that you do not want to believe.

      I don’t know about you, this hysteria got me. Whether it’s true or false, it is up to everyone to decide for himself.
      But, comrades, we do not live in a vacuum. The modern world is crammed with various means of objectively recording events, and yes, you also have such a tool in your pocket. I'm talking about the "smartphone".
      Let me give you a couple of logical examples from the recent past, for thought. 1) The United States struck with cruise missiles at the Syrian base, photos and videos from the place appeared on the network after 8-10 hours. 2) Terrorists attacked our air base (1 and 2 times), photos and videos appeared after 14-18 hours (in the first case), 8-10 hours (in the second). 3) The Republican militia destroys the Ukrainian DRG, almost always videos and photos appear on the network in 6-12 hours. And you can throw such examples from another 10. In this situation, there is no clear evidence, the question is, are they all alone walking there? Nearby there is not a single person from the locals? UAVs do not fly there? More likely would be the news that the Mars were fighting on the side of the SAA, and even then there would be “selfies” with them! While there is no objective evidence of what happened, this is a fake.

          Based on your words, one gets the impression that the consequences of any incident disappear at dawn. Remember the downed fighter of the Israeli Air Force, which also fell at night. So its fragments are perfectly captured in the morning. Also, there were no reports of the movement of the column through the settlements, that is, there was not a single person who saw the marching column of mercenaries / volunteers of clearly non-Arab origin in this direction. Not to mention indirect symptoms. Namely, the increase in the intensity of the radio communication of the surrounding units, the reports on the arrival of the dead and wounded to medical institutions and the most interesting thing, was not noted at least for the organization of the “trip”, in order to assess the damage caused to the “unknown” group. The question is also why not one of the media representatives working on the spot was interested in this case. And there are enough of them, including at the forefront.

        From 1991 to 2003, more than one hundred and twenty times traveled as a correspondent to a number of “hot spots”. He worked in Karabakh, South Ossetia, Transnistria, Abkhazia, Tajikistan, Serbia, Chechnya, Iraq.
        In October 1993, he participated in well-known events in Moscow on the side of the defenders of the Supreme Council. During the assault, Moscow City Hall was wounded.
        He fought as a volunteer in Serbia and Transnistria. He was wounded three times. He was awarded the Order “For Personal Courage”, the medal “To the Defender of Transnistria”, the Serb Krajina badge “Combat Distinction”.

      Shurygin is not a kid from the couch. He fought in many hot spots. He has friends who fight in PMCs. With modern means of communication, phoning all, including survivors at the refinery, is enough for one day. Therefore, his information is very believable. Well and the most important thing. Suppose 250 of our children died and another 300 were injured. Some of the guys are very heavy. They are citizens of Russia, which means they must be transported home. Who is buried, who is cured. And this is a whole caravan of cars to the airfield. Loading on transporters and not one. Unloading. Wounded immediately to the hospitals! 300 people is a lot and everyone has different injuries. Now all the TV channels would "relish" this event every 15 minutes of time. But there is none of this. Today I read that in Siberia in the town they are waiting for two 200s. There is information on the third, but it is not known. He is killed or injured. But I also read such an article. That ours is not forgiven. And the "otvetka" will arrive, although not now. Policy!

In confirmation of this, I can add that in the presence of a similar number of 200x and 300x, news of word of mouth is scattered very quickly, because everyone has relatives and friends (and not like before) they have their own phones ( smartphones with cameras) and all this fuss with the wounded and the dead quickly turned out to be available on the Internet ... So, definitely a fake ...

      There, the guy said a lot on the recordings for a term in his homeland, at least if he really is a fighter, then the Wagner has problems with recruiting professional fighters. That is, Cossacks with average height under a hundred kg got and were executed by Arabs. When people call here (maybe dead our boys who drove our government into embrasures and why they didn’t blow up the Amer’s pvd) a mercenary who is paid to fight for one of our sides is jarring at me. They are not Komsomol volunteers to tell anyone. They’re essentially outlawed, and this has two sides, and the Americans were the first to understand it and drive their blacks where they want without recognizing the loss.

      Of course everything is said quite convincingly and ...... in short all the complete shit.
      We don’t learn anything about what actually happened, as in the wonderful Soviet times.
      Our guys are working wars, like any hard worker, only Pts are dangerous work safety measures, though they pay not badly.
      They work there illegally, although they are there quite legally, the funeral came from the deep consulate with a note that he died under unknown circumstances, like an accident in the territory of the SAR.
      In reality, our fighters died about 30-40, for which they died they know and their relatives know and they went there of their own free will.
      Here, just silently, it is necessary to raise the fighting 100 and remember, it’s not a man’s business to wag this language.

          Our fighters never wet the amers on purpose, they always let us go, we can call it an unspoken agreement.
          Yes, and on the line below I will say so. WAR IS ALWAYS A CRIME, but who and before what law is regulated by the war --- THERE IS NOT SUCH.
          The war is KILL OR KILL YOU ka see the choice is not great and very cruel ..
          There is always betrayal of cowardice and outright gagging in war. But unfortunately we are not judges.

        In Syria, in the province of Deir ez-Zor, on February 7, the day when the American coalition against the Islamic State (Islamic State, an organization banned in Russia) dealt a massive blow to pro-Assad forces in the Euphrates River Valley, at least four Russians were killed who were fighters of PMC Wagner. The Conflict Intelligence Team (CIT) investigator group named them on Twitter with a link to messages from relatives and friends on social networks.
        According to CIT, Alexei Ladygin from Ryazan, Stanislav Matveev, Igor Kosoturov from the city of Asbest, Sverdlovsk Region, and Vladimir Loginov from the Kaliningrad Region died in Deir ez-Zor.
        According to a publication by the FARS news agency (quoted by the Turkish Daily Sabah newspaper), the USA mistakenly destroyed 300 Kurds in the southeastern region of Deir ez-Zor province in the vicinity of the village of al-Souseh. The reason for this feat was the false data received from local sources. To hide their mistake from the world media, the Americans began to spread fake news about the destruction of the Wagner PMC fighters.

      I don’t remember who said that ours from PMCs without the permission of our command in Syria and in latrine cannot go.
      Most likely the way it is. And there is still no exact information about what happened. You can chat about this as much as you like. And our MO, if it did not immediately give direct and reliable information, it will be silent or lie to the end. The tradition in our country is this. I am sincerely sorry for our guys who died there (if !?), but what kind of thing is there - they are mercenaries and they knew what they were going for. But for now, talking about it is simply pointless. But for some reason it seems to me that ours, those who in their position and positions should inform the people about such situations, once again got into a puddle. And now, if someone breaks out with “revelations”, God forbid, believe his words. Now, the more time passes, the more it starts to smell like a “good, old scoop” with all its lies, pharisaism and spit on its citizens.

And no media, no matter how they "justify" the inaction, or even simply the TRIENCY of the defense ministry PMCs they won’t be able to convince ordinary citizens of the tragedy that has happened! This suggests one thing: our authorities and defense, as always, are not ready for a big war and actively defend our country and people from an external aggressor!

      Shurygin is not a kid from the couch. He fought in many hot spots. He has friends who fight in PMCs. With modern means of communication, phoning all, including survivors at the refinery, is enough for one day. Therefore, his information is very believable. Well and the most important thing. Suppose 250 of our children died and another 300 were injured. Some of the guys are very heavy. They are citizens of Russia, which means they must be transported home. Who is buried, who is cured. And this is a whole caravan of cars to the airfield. Loading on transporters and not one. Unloading. Wounded immediately to the hospitals! 300 people is a lot and everyone has different injuries. Now all the TV channels would "relish" this event every 15 minutes of time. But there is none of this. Today I read that in Siberia in the town they are waiting for two 200s. There is information on the third, but it is not known. He is killed or injured. But I also read such an article. That ours is not forgiven. And the "otvetka" will arrive, although not now. Policy!


      The comment is adequate, I can add that from personal communication with a couple of acquaintances from PMCs who were in Syria in 2016, I found out that their contract stipulated that the bodies did not return to their homeland, the wounded were taken out only if they left the amputated without amputation in Damascus. Of course I don’t know how real it is with this, it’s also just from words, at that time I didn’t go into it much, didn’t ask questions in detail, I haven’t seen guys for more than a year since then, I’ve been on business trips forever.

      In the early days of the B-52 there was not a word, now they are already included in the list of attackers, in a day or two, the B-2, F-35, the destroyer Zimvolt with a railgun and tactical nuclear munitions will be added there.

Fighters were betrayed. The US Air Force in Syria, for three hours, B-52 bombers, MQ-9 drones, AC-130 fire support aircraft, AH-64 Apache helicopters and F-15e fighter bombers were used. According to Pentagon estimates, about 100 people, many tanks and artillery pieces were destroyed as a result of the strikes. The representative of the Coalition and the head of the Pentagon, Mattis, could not confirm that among them were the Russian military or mercenaries.

      You know, I don’t believe all these experts. I believe the official sources. Namely, the President of Russia Russian Orthodox Christian Putin and the Ministry of Defense of Russia. Or the facts-video evidence. On which Russian prisoners are visible, dead or alive. Everything else is nonsense. .And here, a whole convoy seemed to be broken, and not a single Russian was shown. Yes, if the Russians were there, they would be happy to capture them and show them on video. There, one Russian pilot of the Orthodox Christian Protector of God was shot down immediately on the video showed both his battle and his downed plane Russian and his dead after the battle. And how everyone jumped over him, ready to do their trousers with happiness, that they shot down the Russian pilot of the Orthodox Christian Protector of God. And here, a whole column seems to have been broken- and not a single Russian was shown. Yes, if the Russians were there, they would be happy to capture and show them on video.
      You know, for the spread of all lies and misinformation, you need to be punished.
      I’m sure it’s a lie of the USA to humiliate Russian Orthodox Christians, Russia Russian Orthodox Christian, the people of Russia Russian Orthodox Christian before the whole world. Throw a lie and then show that Russians, Russia can’t do anything. Show Russian Orthodox Christians, Russia Russian Orthodox-weak. Why Russian Orthodox Christians, Russia Russian Orthodox Christian PMC ??? Russian Orthodox Christians, Russia Russian Orthodox Christian, people of Russia Russian Orthodox Christian, what are the aggressors-invaders?

No one in the RF Ministry of Defense or in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can even move a finger to say something to someone, not something to do. Bottom line, intelligence - rubbish, relations with the locals who passed them - rubbish, equipment - rubbish. The Russians do not go to PMCs, unsweetened bread from them.

      Shamefully smashed into the trash of the military who fought in eastern Ukraine. This is a Russian soldier painted. The pride of Russian imperialism is clearly visible. Seen in comments cynicism rolls over. When the Turks shot down the plane, everyone stood on their hind legs and now hundreds of dead Russians and nothing ... So they died for the interests of their country. So we regret one pilot, but what kind of bread for their children threw themselves into the fire to spit on these? Imperial show-offs do not roll there. As it was given in the face in the dry and now stupid excuses like this is a lie you are lying and so on heard. A shame.

По комплекту наград это герои из героев, но их имена в окологосударственной прессе отсутствуют. Мы готовы документально подтвердить, что на фото - командиры частного батальона, ставшего известным как ЧВК Вагнера. Бродяга, Седой, Вагнер и Ратибор окружили президента. Вчера Трошин ( командир ЧВК) признал гибель 14 бойцов своего подразделения в последнем бою. Захарова (МИД России), прод давлением общественности признала - 4. А МО России отмежевалось вообще от причастности к гибели россиян. А, если я не ошибаюсь во времени, вчера Жириновский в предвыборной беседе с электоратом сказал - около трёхсот.
