Alas, out of Syria there are reports from the "OBS" agency that our MTR group ran into a minefield, three officers were killed ... But our press service of the RF Ministry of Defense, as always, keeps "proud silence"

In Syria, near the village of Dzhurin, in the de-escalation zone of Idlib, three Russian officers were killed, the Vedomosti newspaper, belonging to the family of Demyan Kudryavtsev, quotes a military-diplomatic source.
Military personnel were blown up by mines along the way to the observation post, the publication said. Three officers were killed in shrapnel, and two more were seriously injured. The group, as Vedomosti writes, moved to a strong point without crossing the line of conflict.
According to Novaya Gazeta, we are talking about special forces soldiers.
The Russian Defense Ministry has not yet commented on this information.

Alas, yes. If true, then sorry for the guys. Although I understand perfectly well that in a war there are no victims, but anyway, it's a pity to everyone.

That's not the right word. I understand that your tasks are being solved there, but when I read that soldiers die at the hands of Islamists ...

There are a few oddities in this information:
1 Moscow Region has already denied this information (here the truth will also be questions, but it has denied)
2 Demyan Kudryavtsev, the one who is the owner of Vedomosti, an Israeli citizen (deprived of Russian citizenship). On this occasion, there is a suspicion that this is a game of your media specialists. It’s just when you need to even upload your space images, but here it’s just a link to some source in higher circles

According to preliminary data, a group of eight people, not crossing the line of conflict, moved to a strong point. About 30 meters before the observation post, two OZM-72 mine explosions occurred, the fragments of which killed three officers and injured two others.

Where and why could 8 officers move at night and on foot? We have thousands of UAVs, we have satellites hanging everywhere, we have day and night stationary observation with the help of reconnaissance means ... We can't run a mouse ... We degenerates in the General Staff, headed by Gerasimov, have some idea of ​​modern war, and in a light version of it, as in Syria? We have the ability to shoot or react with the help of aviation in real time to the entire area occupied by the bandits with appropriate target designation .... so that the "babakhs" not only could not pass, but even go out into the street ... But this target designation and reconnaissance is not there ...Why? If the degenerates in our military leadership do not know how to do this, let them write a letter of resignation ... Let all these stupid brothers bring down retirement ... We have people who know how and know how to do this ... This is can be done for a long time ... 1 year is enough to create such a system from scratch, we have everything for this and we don’t need big money ...

Because she is not a tabloid. Since then, there is no demand. Anything can blurt out.
And this is an official body, a state body, which is responsible for every word, for every figure.
They will check and double-check everything more than once. And not from one source

They already know everything, since even the "OBS" agency "refers to the military diplomatic circles, that is, to our military attachés. It's just that this principle is "silent" to the last, and then, after 10 days, report. During this time, so many rumors have been born that truthful information is no longer so relevant. If something is not clear, just say: "We are clarifying" or: "Information is being verified"

What kind of agency is this? Who is financing it?

refers to military diplomatic circles, that is, to our military attachés

Names have been referred to by whom? And if I tell you now that I’m Donald Trump’s great-nephew, believe me?

It's just that this principle is "silent" to the last, and then, after 10 days, report.

Are you in a hurry somewhere? There are such cases that it is very difficult to check and double-check and it takes time.

Hl during this time so many rumors are born

That’s the whole trouble that we believe in rumors more than the official

Oh ... yeah you don't know this world famous agency? Then what to talk about at all. "OBS" - one grandmother said ... a very informative, and most importantly operational agency, which more than once or twice was the source of any panicky rumors ... And you can fight it only if the main infa comes from the press service of the RF Ministry of Defense. There the Israelis somehow do not hesitate to promptly inform their people and the world. And rumors are already more difficult to form.

I know such an agency. I just did not believe what you said with sarcasm. I thought that the truth is.

There, the Israelis somehow do not hesitate to promptly inform their people and the world.

Do you want to say that they never got into a mess?
And the news is from Syria, and this is an extra check.
Moreover, because it seems to me that just a fact will not do. Where, how and when, too, to know

[VO3A]

Absolutely ... Yes, we can say that we are clarifying ... but there must be a surname, there must be a commander who said that ... They all managed and hid and hang from the Moscow city in an anonymous manner .... Firefighter puts out, the doctor treats , and is also responsible for his actions ... And this ... they only receive money ... and this is their work, the press service of the Moscow Region with surnames, with terms, with decisions, with resignations ...

[Thunderbolt]

The main thing is that our Falcons are intact, and the Homeland will do the turntables to them. Fortunately, we do not buy them, but do helicopters ourselves. And they are valued in the world.

[SERGEY SERGEEVICS]

It is good that no one was hurt, let them now live happily ever after.

[Kontrik]

Fuuuu thank God !!!! The crew is alive and not even hurt .... And then something is often an accident! We need to take care of soldiers, especially pilots. A few of us become men just

By the way on this topic. A friend of mine in the early seventies got to serve in the Saratov Helicopter School as a parachute packer (hopped in our club) and told such jokes .. There were night flights, the crew took jobs, night illumination, everything was as it should, the bortorker turns and sees a snake on the phone flame and yelling in a bad voice: fire on board. Everything was naturally out of the helicopter, who somehow managed and the right one, if I am not mistaken, flew into the blister (such a triangular window) with a parachute, everyone naturally ran back and lay down and wait. Well, there’s no smoke back and forth, there’s no fire, let's sort it out. In the end, it turned out to be just an oil leak, but it crawled along the tube and the impression in the dark with night illumination seemed like a flame. But this is not the main thing, then in the afternoon this second one showed how he flew into the blister, without a parachute he could not climb there. There the whole school then says how the horses were laughing about it. If you smiled, I will be glad for what I bought, for which I am selling.

Not a day without incident.
From the Soviet Information Bureau: - "The crew of the helicopter was not injured. The pilots refused to be hospitalized, but they are still being examined by doctors. According to preliminary data, the board did not have enough thrust for takeoff, it landed hard, after the landing gear broke, the helicopter lay on its side and caught fire." ...

[Velmark]

Well, people remained alive, and the Mi-8 helicopters are old models there, well, as far as I can judge, looking from the ground (I live not far). In addition, I have never met information that the Mi-8 was updated there, the Ansat and Ka-226 parties arrived recently. And they drive them there almost every day, mostly 4-5 Ansats, Mi-8s and 3-4, but the Ka-226 is rarely seen in the sky, before Mi-2s flew, but with the soldering of the Ansats they disappeared. That probably drove the old man.

[Avis24]

The crew is not local. Span. New AMTSh. According to eyewitnesses, he tried to fly "nicely", but it turned out ugly.
